  I was meditating and my right leg started to ach. I had then focused on the unpleasant feeling.The funny thing is that the pain went away and disappeared as if it is not there in the first place.
  
  I'm puzzled, anyone know why?
  
  Secondly, my breathe become shorter and faster as the meditation coming to an end. I thought i couldn't control my breathing but I was still rather awared of the surrounding.
  
  Anyway i was told not to be attached to all these experience as every meditation session is not the same.

  Your focusing and willingness to face the unpleasant feeling eliminate unncessary resistance and that helps your brain and body to adjust more readily to the unpleasantness. The pain is no more there not because of your focusing, it will subside even if you did not focus on it; it subsides naturally when the body adapts to it.

  Think it is due to expecation that the meditation is coming to an end. You await the meditation to end subconsciously...

  Hi,
  
  I have chest pain during meditation. It kind of affect my breathing. It occurs recently and had it for 2 or three times already. Could it be a medical problem or psychology?
  
  I still feeling a tinge of aching/stuffing pain now, after my meditation 5 minutes ago.
  
  Anyone knows the possible reasons why and how to overcome it?
  
  In addition, i had nasal blockage since young. My left nostril breathes less air than my right nostril. Sometime, i feel more sensation on my right side of the body then my left side.
  
  Any suggestion to overcome this?
  
  Thank you.
