10. In our courses you will be meditating more intensively. As you do this there are some common things that happen:
A. You will get more in touch with what's going on for you (your bodily sensations, deeper thoughts and emotions).
B. You may get in touch with things that you have not noticed for a while, or that you may have been avoiding. This can sometimes feel uncomfortable.
Less commonly, If you are in an acute stage of depression, anxiety or trauma or have had psychosis then we recommend that you be consulting, and under the close supervision of a qualified mental health professional.
If this is a time when you are feeling severely affected then this may not be the right time to begin this course of study. We suggest that you seek professional mental health support and advice before doing so.
If after consultation with a mental health professional you have decided to move forward with studying meditation with ACMM, It may be wise to proceed slowly, taking in a bit at a time.
