Meditation Experience

I got into meditating and out of it fast (out of laziness/other circumstances) but there was this one time..
I was sitting on a little landing on my stairs, it’s hard to describe in words (I usually draw it as it’s much easier to explain with a visual) it’s like there was a copy of me, my “soul form” if you will, in the same shape as my physical body. Take one point on your body, the tip of you nose for example, it felt like my ‘soul form’ was about half a foot below my physical form. Like straight down. Also felt like the soul form was flexing in size, proportionately shrinking and expanding in comparison to my physical size (which remained as it is)
I wasn’t on drugs or anything, I’d say fairly new to meditating and it really only happened that one time.

When you meditate in formal sessions, you are conserving the chemical energy of your brain by not wasting it on thoughts and sensory distraction. Thus, you become blissful and may experience nonsexual orgasms during meditation sessions, but that ecstasy gradually dissipates after you return to your normal work routine. The feeling of spaciousness and peacefulness continue, but the buzz settles down to a feeling of neutrality and quiet emptiness. There is no eternal orgasm-ecstasy-buzz-bliss possible because any human feeling that has a beginning must also have an end due to the inherent chemical nature of the brain.

@aliwine, you sure it wasn’t a stroke? lol jk that sounds like an awesome experience

You are the chosen one

@aliwine, the real question is, do you want to fall into a lower dimension if it is more strenuous to fly or float to a higher one? That means by focusing on the lower, if you ended up getting there, it would be difficult to get back. I would focus on going up. :)

@groig22 , @voo210, well said

I’ve only been meditating for about 1.5 months, so I am still not that great at concentrating. I find it best for me to meditate by sitting in my room with the lights off, alone and free from noise. In this one session I was so focused on trying to let go, to free myself of random thoughts, etc. that I was about to give up. As I took a deep breath I tried again, this time trying to truly feel my body – my stomach, my skin, my body’s involuntary movements. After some time, I had THE moment…I felt something incredible – a soft breeze hit me, and I could slowly feel myself getting goosebumps. I could feel the hairs in my skin all over my body crawling up as the breeze kept gently sweeping through, and for a moment, I felt ALIVE. For the first time ever, my mind felt ‘absent’ and all I could do was feel (it’s tough to explain…). This may sound weird and not as amazing as it actually was, but it was so far my best experience while meditating.

Although it wasn’t as deep as ‘being one with the universe’, I certainly felt at peace with my mind and my body. It was a brief moment of complete tranquility; I was so struck back and amazed that I couldn’t help but strike a huge smile as I experienced this, and for those brief seconds, I was blissful. It was a very rewarding experience – if I could feel that again, no matter how long it takes me, it would definitely be worth it.
