What happens when a meditation practitioner stops meditating?
Everything seems pretty normal for a time then it hits. One becomes angry for the most trivial reasons. Those around us that we love the most become the targets of angst. If we are still practicing yoga it may take some time before this happens but eventually~~~it will happen~~~and we become  alienated from our fellows. We become victims of our own Selves; we no longer relate to others in a way that encourages compassion. We become loners in a world of Others; instead of seeing the Oneness that we know that we are.
Maybe this is where the anger comes from~~ maybe we know that this is not reality and our intuition is trying to give a signal that, “Hey Bonehead! You need to get with the program here!”
Yoga helps prolong the inevitable because, of course, yoga is a form of meditation that uses the motion of the body as a tool to center oneself as well. But yoga is not enough for one that has had an extended meditation practice in the past.
Another aspect of the anger is the knowing that nags at one that has stopped meditation. The knowing that continually rears its head within the recesses of the mind and tells one that this is not the Way!!
Eventually I have always come back to meditation because of the reaction I get from my mind. I cannot go back to to where I was before meditation. Meditating has brought me a peace of mind that has come from nothing else I know of.
I have quit both meditating and yoga at different times and always come back to it. At some point, I suppose, I will become dedicated enough to start and not stop. I would like to use my children, my spouse or my job for excuses for stopping but the reality is that I simply am not dedicated enough at this juncture in my life. Maybe this time, huh?
