Love Your Love Muscle: When Mindfulness Leads to Darkness

Is mindfulness always safe? In this episode of Love Your Love Muscle, we explore a topic rarely discussed in the wellness world: how mindfulness and meditation can sometimes contribute to depressive symptoms. While meditation is widely praised for reducing stress and anxiety, it can also intensify rumination, emotional flooding, dissociation, or unresolved trauma, especially when practiced without proper guidance or regulation skills. This episode isn’t anti-meditation. It’s pro-safety, pro-context, and pro-intelligent practice. If you’ve ever felt darker instead of lighter after mindfulness, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do instead.   Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TMGmeditations Follow Seb on Vero True Social: https://vero.co/seb_tmg Follow Seb on Mastodon: https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/@seb_tmg Join the conversation on Telegram: https://t.me/TMGCommunity
