For a while, things were going really good for me after I discovered the practice of Buddhism; I had a good job, I was going to college, and I met a woman that completely captured my heart. Within the last few months, I quit my job because of school, I am struggling with my studies and trying to find work again, and the woman I love has her heart set on another man. Needless to say, these have been very dark days. After this, I stopped meditating because I felt like I was begging and asking for something to bring good fortune onto me in my time of sadness. Recently, I have felt as if I have forgotten my practice and I finally decided to sit down and meditate. I was very calm at first, but out of nowhere, I began to feel this intense wave of emotion come over me and I began to cry. I did not think at all about my misfortune, but about my abandonment of the once powerful presence in my life and I felt as if something else was crying through me. So far I have felt a great deal of relief and I feel a much stronger need to resume my practice.

It was not sobbing, it was more or less random uncontrollable bouts of tears, with my abdomen pushing up(sort of like sobbing, but with no sorry) Like when your a child, and you cry hard, and your diaphragm moves, like that, but not so intense.

After breathing into each of the chakras I visualized gold pouring into each one down my spine and overflowing...then found myself simultaneously laughing and crying. I think it is an indication of released energy. Confusing and wonderful. :) I just experienced this!
