Does meditation make you emotionally numb or detached?

It is actually the opposite for most people. Meditation is not about switching feelings off, it is about creating a little space around them so they do not overwhelm you. That space can look like calm from the outside, but inside you often become more aware of your emotions, not less. You feel them clearly and react to them less impulsively. StillMind’s practices aim to help you stay present with what you feel, so you respond with more steadiness rather than shutting down.
