There are stories where practitioners of Mahasi meditation felt a sense of losing control. But in fact, during Mahasi meditation, as you go deeper into the practice, you are exploring the mind. Sometimes the mind throws up unexpected thoughts and feelings. It could be that these individuals were not fully prepared for such a deep exploration. They mistook the normal chaos of the mind that surfaces during deep meditation for something terrifying. In reality, with more experience and understanding of the meditation process, these feelings can be turned into positive spiritual growth experiences.
Often, in these stories, there is a sense of fear of the unknown. Mahasi meditation is about exploring the deeper levels of the mind. For those who are not used to such introspection, the uncharted territory of the mind can seem scary. Also, there can be a feeling of disorientation. As the mind goes into a different state during meditation, some might lose their sense of normalcy and feel frightened. However, these are all things that can be overcome with time and proper guidance in the practice.
