Why is it so ?
During meditation all kinds of thoughts and emotions come to the surface of consciousness, and in this 'process' you cannot escape, you have to face those emotions, which can often be painful, generating stress and tensions in the body ... there can be no 'distraction' from those emotions, so we have to face them fully and then dissolve those tensions in the body ...
Generally, during normal daily activities, people tend to avoid painful experiences, but in meditation there is no avoidance, no escape ... so living those emotions fully, this is how the past hurts and wounds can he healed ... and this frees the wild wounded animal within ourselves ...
This is indeed like taming of a wild fearful animal ... and a very cunning one ...
