Sixth Meditation

I felt very anxious and sick so I thought this meditation would help me calm my mind and obliterate all negative thought. After a nice hot shower in the morning following my previous meditation, I sat in the little gods room I have next to my room and wore traditional clothes to get into the meditation process. In hinduism, we have to wear a traditional Lungi which a garment one wears around their waist. It was commonly worn by most indian men and boys when performing religious ceremonies and can be worn for sleep.

I wore one lungi around my waist and one on my back. I  sat down in front of the portraits of the hindu gods and began to meditate. Breathing in and out at a slow and relaxed pace. Almost instantly I felt myself slipping into it and started my journey of a new discovery.  Unfortunately, about 14 minutes into the meditation, my throat began to scratch and feel hot. I ignored that feeling. The sensation kept persisting in my throat for about 5 minutes so I cleared my throat. I lost concentration after that and proceeded to start over. I started over but things were not the same, my nose started to run and clog up as I was breathing in and the irritation in my throat became too big of a problem. I started to cough violently and choke. This meditation session was over.

I realized I need to be in a better state of mind and try to get rid of the sickness as much as I can before I continue. There are a lot of reasons why a cold can occur, however I am curious as what the causing of sickness is in a spiritual aspect. Hopefully next time I won't struggle as bad.

*Note I actually meant to send this immediately after I posted my fifth meditation but it went under drafts instead. My mistake.
