meditation question

[morrissey]

something very strange happened to me the other night while I was meditating, I don't do it that often and this feeling has happen before but it concerned me the first time so much I just stopped. basically I was meditating and I felt quite at peace when sunddenly my body seamed to be hit with a strong electric current and it felt like I was expanding a little, I was very aware of it but I opened my eyes because I felt like i was going somewhere, It wasn't an obe and lasted for a minute or two untill I stopped because it was so odd, It was almost like I'd taken a drug. Does anyone know what that is?

LUCKY!! That's what happens right BEFORE you get an O.B.E.!
I have gotten that too. At the time, I was scared because I didn't know what it was. Now I would love to achieve that!

Usually it increases to the point where you are scared because it's really strong but than ,from what I understand, you pop out of you body and go on all sorts of adventures!

Good Luck!

What mediation technique did you use and for how long until you reached this sensation?

[morrissey]

I didn't use any technique, I was just focusing on oneness, unity and the bright future for earth and the cosmos, then i just mentioned that all beings of light from earth and beyond can join me in these thoughts and hopes, I felt very happy for some reason then my body just started virbrating, When i opened my eyes it began to stop and the room I felt odd and looked a bit weird, but as long as I'm not going to do any damage to myself, I'l try again.

you def wont do any damage to yourself morrisey ;)

dont be afraid of it just go with the flow. to me it seems you are experiencing a rare meditative state. people who meditate for years (without drugs) dont usually reach this state so your very lucky.

when you meditate/yoga the world does def seem brighter or different when you open your eyes (a bit weired as you say), embrace it because it will bring you love, compassion and a new understanding of the world around. :)

Yeah just go with the flow, sometimes i get this but it hasnt progressed further yet, i used to put it down to nearly falling asleep, a microsleep, but its much more.
The meditative state feels alot stronger than when i used to do it 6 or so years ago, when i first started again, it almost knocked me sidewards of how easy it was to get into it, not like before!
Maybe sudden shifting in peoples attitudes about these altered states have strengthend the field?

Yes, strong vigorous vibrations, that's what I felt before OBEs too. I cannot always achieve this state when I want, but when it does, I know I'm doing something right. Just remember when it happens, stay calm and do not panic. It won't harm you. Keep at it if you can, or even try exit your body. OBEs are fun. Good luck!

Just a question, were you sitting or lying down when it happened? Because when it happens to me, I'm usually lying down. I could never get as deep when I'm sitting. Maybe others could, but I need to be lying to go into a deep state.

I was just sitting on my bed and then it just hit me, starting at my head running around my body

hi morrissey, seems like you are beginning to become aware of your energy body... as you begin to "move" it you experience "expansion" and movements of energy... as you become more aware in general.. can i ask do you use any techniques ? i can recommend a system for meditation.....:cool:


meditate every day.....

I don't really have a system, sometimes I lie down with music which never works I always fall asleep but sometimes I have lucid dreams afterwards, sometimes I listen to a meditation C.D by steven greer from the disclosure project. He gets a lot bad things said against him but hes a true man with a good heart. other times i just do it by myself with out aid just focusing on my breathing. I'm quite erratic with it because sometimes I can't shut my mind off with voices if that makes sense, I have mix resluts I you have any suggestions I'l be glad to hear then, also this may be an odd question and maybe I need my eyes testing but does seeing movement in eveything have anything to do with meditaion its like miniature permeable particles in waves scattered across all things.

what most ppl don't realize about meditation is that the reason u try to attain a no mind state is so that u will experience Qi- the electric current u felt is energy being generated by u meditating- the reason it fees like a drug is coz u are experiencing a frequency-just like what a drug exposes u to except its natural.
