Bodily Fear Responses

A man describes experiencing gagging sensations during meditation when approaching a state of consciousness previously experienced years ago. Rupert explains this as the sense of separation feeling threatened by the man’s investigation – producing visceral, bodily fear responses to psychological ‘death.’ He advises either ignoring mild reactions or honouring stronger ones by pausing, allowing the response to settle before continuing, noting these reactions typically diminish with time as resistance weakens.
