Yes, it is perfectly okay to contemplate issues during your meditation. In fact, meditation can serve as a valuable space for reflection. By allowing yourself to explore your thoughts and feelings, you can gain clarity and insight into the challenges you face. Just remember to balance contemplation with moments of stillness, allowing your mind to rest and rejuvenate. This practice can help you develop a deeper understanding of your emotions and foster healthier habits as you navigate your goals.

yes, but it’s healthier to do so if you are doing a guided meditation. without guidance, issues can build up and ruminating is what we’re trying to avoid with meditation.

Honestly? No, not at all. That’s not what meditating is about. The opposite, in fact. Meditating is about bringing focus back to your surroundings, to pretty much forget about all that other stuff.

It can help to discern one’s obstacles bit like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath be sure to detach from it to some degree. Try this... come as close to the flame without being burned. Recognize what it is and inhale while saying to yourself I recognize this feeling ir energy upon exhalation say to yourself I am releasing this feeling or energy. Knowing this is for the greater good of your immediate health and clarity. Then repeat the mantra I will do my best for the out come of goodness in my favor I accept this or something greater.

You shouldn’t allow yourself to contemplate during meditation. It is ok to have thoughts, but you should observe them without judgement and let them go.

Meditation is for you. You’ll feel if something is adding to your overall wellbeing or if it isn’t. Meditation is many different things. As long as those things are helping you be at peace with yourself and your life it’s probably okay to meditate on.
