Yeah I had a bit of depression during stage 1 as well. It's very important not to resist it and just allow it to be there. I tend to resist depression because I think its wrong, but then my emotions tend to get suppressed. I've been working with a book on trauma release that Ben introduced me to and it's been helping a lot. When I used to think of trauma I thought of war veterans, but I've learned that just having anxiety over the years has created deep rooted trauma inside my body. The exercises in the book has helped me release a lot of tension and anxiety that normal meditation never really got to.
