Meditation is often the best form of recovery. I trust my body as it sinks into meditation, and recognize when I am finished versus just being uncomfortable. When I feel uncomfortable I try to get to the bottom of why. What is it that I need to release but is not wanting to be uncovered, worked on, let go. It is not always easy. Some days are as awkward as laughing in the middle of a eulogy. The point is not for it to be easy. It is to stick with it when it feels hard, or brings out emotions, or leaves you just feeling nothing. Meditation is not to be mastered, hence it being a "practice". It is to master yourself, your thoughts, emotions, what comes up in your practice, each time you attempt it. Your thoughts are unique, your feelings ever evolving. Being compassionate toward yourself in your practice, being open to your own changes and challenges, being patient with what it is to you each time is where the magic really happens. Meditation is not the absence of thought. It is not a brute force focus. Rather, it is allowing your brain to do what it does and to release your negativity towards it.
