Writing this all out with a bit of distance makes it sound completely ridiculous but, in the moment, I feel totally invigorated, filled with confidence, and as though nothing could be more normal than shouting “Hoo!” as I leap in the air.Following all this excitement, the group drops into complete silence and stillness, all of us freezing in whatever position we are in. This more peaceful meditation is more what I’m used to.
Physical and mental release: It allows for catharsis, giving an opportunity to let go of stuck emotions, energy, and any physical tension. Celebration of life: The final stage is all about celebration, allowing you to carry the joy and aliveness throughout your day.“While I personally haven't experienced any negative side effects, like any intense physical or mental activity, it's key to be aware of your limits and make sure the practice feels right for you. If someone has specific health concerns or mental health issues, it might be a good idea to discuss it openly with the teacher first,” says Bayu.
For me, following the meditation, I noticed an increase in my energy and confidence levels. When something happened to ignite my anger in the days following, I was quicker to act in it in a more productive, assertive, and decisive way, instead of trying to ignore it or feeling guilty about it. And I also noticed myself being more honest with other people and less afraid of conflict, which in my mind, can only be a good thing.
