Feeling empty-headed after meditation

    I don't know if this is the correct forum.

    I have meditated before, a handful of times only - not regularly and not often.

    For the past three days, I have meditated twice a day for 30 minutes.

    That is the most meditation I have ever done.

    Yesterday and today, I am feeling empty-headed. That is the best way I can describe it. I am not sad, or apathetic, I'm just not feeling any emotions particularly strongly at all. I'm just, kind of.... being.

    I know this sounds like the whole point of meditation, but I have only been meditating for three days, so I am a bit confused. If this feeling occurred after a couple of weeks of meditating, then I would just assume that the meditation was kicking in. But is it normal to feel almost completely peaceful so soon?

    I had a very anxious week and a half, and that's why I started the meditation in the first place.

    I'm not feeling particularly strong joy but I don't feel sad. And I do get vaguely anxious at times but it's as if I just don't care anymore, and I just ignore it and it goes away.

    Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I'm just curious and interested. I feel more at ease if I know something is normal.

    It just sounds like you are lucky to be seeing the benefits early. Half an hour meditation is actually quite a stretch and depending on how your body and mind were before it (they may have been in a very suitable state for the meditation already) the meditation 'worked' more immediately.

    There are so many variables involved in someones psychological development and being that I wouldn't worry about where the new experience is coming from. Not good or bad as you say is pretty much what I would look for in meditation.
