ok ive just had the wierdest experience....ive been trying to meditate for a while now..i think i may have just cracked it....ill set the scene: about 10 minutes ago (its now 12:42 am) i was sitting on my bed, eyes closed, legs crossed, chilled out music on quietly in the background, just letting thoughts come and go through my mind, whilst trying to picture like a ball of energy from around my front chest area, when suddenly it felt like this energy was spreading throughout my body, my arms and legs and chest and mind and everywhere went tingly as though i had pins and needles but it was not uncomfortable, just different, it was a sensation that i could tell was growing fast and becoming intense, i freaked out and opened my eyes and the feeling completely went. I would be interested to know whether this is the aim of meditation and next time should i stay calm and just let the feeling engulf me? it was awesome anyway, if a little overwhelming! any advice, comments, questions anything at all?
My breath just seemed to disappear, i couldnt concentrate on anything other than the Feeling.... Could this be Transcendental Meditation?
just go with the energy, dont force it or try to create it. Let what comes come. just concentrate on what created the senastion and not the sensation itself.
I think im starting to get the hang of it...I tried it once again last night under exactly the same circumstances, this time i seemed to get that "energy" really quickly, but it dissapeared quickly too. I got a feeling like my mind was detached from the rest of my body and it felt like i was sorta hovering...its hard to describe. amazing experience though
hehe sounds like he has started to uncover the true beauty and innerpower it possesses, its good your arent frightened because every experience in meditation is a positive one. LIVE LOVE LAUGH
Yeah, sound completely like astral projection (out of body experience ). I've been trying to manage that for about a year with no results
