When MEDITATION Stops Feeling Like Peace? Buddhism’s DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL
🔍 WHEN MEDITATION TURNS DARK, BUDDHISM HAS A MAP
Most people start meditating expecting peace. What Buddhism never told you is that serious practice can lead somewhere far more disorienting... a crisis of self, meaning, and perception that mystics across centuries have called the Dark Night of the Soul.
Buddhism didn't just name this experience. It mapped it in extraordinary detail 2500 years before modern psychology caught up, charting every stage of the descent and what lies on the other side.
From St. John of the Cross to Mahasi Sayadaw, Eckhart Tolle, and modern meditation research, this is the story of what happens when the mind sees too much to go back.
