You can absolutely become depressed through meditation practices, but typically this is a sign that you have made some progress but are not breaking through. Intuitively changing techniques (for example, to Advaita) can be a good strategy. If you're aware of the states of mind associated with higher concentration, you can recognize negative feelings as a sign of progress and push through. http://alohadharma.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/the-dark-night/ http://alohadharma.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/the-dark-night/
