How do you feel after meditation?

I only did it once and I was too afraid to ever try it again, because I felt like I lost my mind. I didn’t feel real. I looked it up and what I experienced is called depersonalized and it’s a very scary feeling. Idk if this is normal and I was supposed to feel this way.

I've never been able to do it. Maybe I don't try hard enough. I only noticed a slight change in breathing when attempting to not think of anything and it made me feel good.

@CrazyMusicLover If it made you feel good, you're doing it right.

@PhoenixPhail Sadly, it's just for a moment and it quickly disappears.

@CrazyMusicLover It's fine that the feeling is fleeting. Just having the feeling will allow you to find it easier the next time. The effect is accumulative.

@CrazyMusicLover the key is accepting the thoughts whatever comes to your mind. Key guidance meditation works alot.
