Thank you for providing this meditation on grief. My brother passed on Nov. 27th, 2011 after a long battle with throat and tongue cancer. I had not seen him for over a year. We had a very difficult, volatile relationship, so grieving has been very emotional. I searched the web for a guided meditation and was very happy to come across your website and this meditation. So many thoughts come to mind and this meditation has helped me to calm them and to work through my grief. Thank you !

Thank you for your website and meditations. My mother died after a brief illness last month. Your website has helped me tremendously. It has helped me get back to sleep in the middle of the night when I wake up. I has helped me grieve and feel the heartache and love in my heart for my mom. It has helped to bring me peace during this painful time. Thank you so much.

zeeshan, it’s impossible to say why you are feeling more stress now. There could be so many reasons and you’d really need to spend some time with someone, like a counselor, to find out what is happening. You can try listening to some of the meditations in the podcast (Listen to Our Podcast page) and see if that helps.

I am practicing of meditation daily, during the meditation I scan my whole body specially brain, initially when I used to meditate so I used to solve my problems, but last one month lot of different negative thinking are coming in my mind due to this I am victim of huge stress, I am not understanding that in this condition what should I do.
Please tell me what is the main reason of my stress, is it being by meditation or any other reason.

I find that suffering can make us closed up and cold, or it can force us to look inside, I think thats what pain does forces us to look inside our bodies and discover that most of the beliefs and attachments were not real. Suffering can help you be at peace if you totaly let go and do not resist.

Nice site and article by the way.

after 48 years of marriage, my husband changed me for a “new model”, he’s 72 and his lover 20, can you imagine what I’ve been through? I was full with anger, anxiety, depression, but thanks to Meditation Oasis I’ve been able to get better every day, thanks
