Part of any meditation practice is learning to accept one’s limitations. Early on, there can be a great deal of discomfort and much questioning. This is normal and expected. The egoic mind resists letting deeper sources of insight rise into awareness. The ego battles centered states of consciousness out of fear of annihilation. Working past these obstructions takes time and commitment. The ego’s goal is to get the Self to question the value of meditation and quit doing it. The response must be to persist despite the feelings of frustration and apparent lack of progress. Know that within the mind changes are taking place even if nothing seems to be happening. In due time the wiser Self will gain strength, and the ego will become less dominant. The goal is not to eradicate egoic consciousness, but to recognize it as a subsidiary part of the larger Mind. This takes time and cannot be deliberately forced. But it will happen with continued practice. Just be patient and continue…

Sir ji, I do get giddiness while doing meditation by concentrating over inside of the nostrils.
Kindly suggest me to overcome the condition and how to be able to sit without any giddiness.

Regards
