What is the difference between right ear sound after meditation/sadhna vs left ear sound? Reaching a positive or negative State? I have experienced these ringing sounds after mediation from both ears after different sessions. The right one comes after you're feeling more satvic, happy, positive and justice etc and is indicated you're doing it right? The left one comes from fear, negativity etc?
