Question: I tend to swallow a lots of my saliva a lot during meditation, is it normal ?. (Pan Wirya, Tabanan)
Answer: A lot of meditators complain of excessive saliva during meditation which is disturbing. This excessive saliva shows there is unbalance in our very fine digestion system. This unbalance can be from the factor of the body, or from the food we eat. However, it can also be a sign that our mind is still dominated by a lot of desire. This normally is followed by attachment and greed. In your meditation, please pay attention when you observe the breathing, when there is desire or intention to exhale or inhale the breath intentionally; it shows that your harmonious mind is not strong enough. When your harmonious mind is not strong, your subconscious mind still has a lot of desire, there comes the saliva. Train your meditation diligently and seriously, then your harmonious mind will get stronger, and your saliva will get less and less. |
