Yes, I'm getting irregular heartbeat during and after meditation.
Do I just note it?
And what would be the possible causes?
I like to just note it.
I get that sometimes.
But you know, some people say that it can be a sign that you have a heart problem.
I have one meditator friend in California who has a heart problem, a heart irregularity.
I don't know, he started taking medication for it, but he admitted that it's probably due to stress, probably his job is, he knows his job is causing him stress, and you know, it's due to his physique as well, and probably my physique as well.
It can be due to the fact that you don't eat, I mean, these are all questions that I really shouldn't be answering, or answers that I shouldn't be giving, because I'm not a doctor, but...
A lot of it just has to do with your physique.
I assume your question has something to do with the idea whether meditation can be causing irregularity.
And I think yes, because of the stress that can be caused by meditation as you're stirring stuff up and learning.
Meditation is like a laboratory and so
All of the aspects of your existence are put under the microscope.
And so if you have a heart problem, it's going to be looked at under the microscope.
That might kill you.
You might die.
I mean, it's rare.
I've never heard of it.
But the point being that this is real.
You're looking at reality.
And so it could be that you have a heart problem.
And it could be that by saying, feeling, feeling, or even acknowledging the emotions and so on.
that, oh, it's so doubtful because meditation is so good for the heart, right?
But it could be that by, no, it could be that by messing around and muddling around and not practicing fully, because you can actually in the beginning create stress, that it could aggravate your physical condition.
I mean, meditation can actually.
There's a story in the commentaries about a monk who
wasn't eating enough and was doing too much walking meditation and ended up snapping his spinal cord or something.
The nerves in his spinal cord just gave away because he was undernourished and he died doing walking meditation.
He was born as an angel.
The good news is he was born as an angel because he was doing walking meditation.
Apparently, if you die when meditating, there's no possible outcome except for going to heaven.
I don't think that's completely true.
The commentary says something like that.
But if you've done horrible things, you can't go to heaven.
So it must just be much easier to go to heaven, which makes sense.
Meditating.
Here's a question going back to what you were talking about earlier
