Yogi: The mind was in a good state; it was a new vipassana experience. There was a lot of emotion. What should I do?

Sayadaw: To maintain this state, you have to take care of your emotion. The important thing is that when any extraordinary experience comes, be careful of the emotion because the mind has not experienced it before.

Take care of the emotion first; don’t be aware of anything else. When the emotion calms down, then the awareness can continue.

Relax and naturally build up the quality of mind – when the level comes, the experience comes.
