Last night I turned on an instrumental song from Insight Timer. I typically stick with the music and not so much the guided meditations anymore. As of yesterday, I am on my 321 consecutive days logging in and meditating with insight timer. It really has helped me maintain a sense of calm. Anyway, last night about 20 minutes into my mediation something amazing happened. I suddenly noticed myself getting heavier and heavier I couldn’t hear my heartbeat or feel my skin. I was still aware of what was happening around me. I am still trying to figure out what exactly I was experiencing, but last night, I experimented on how far I could go. In every direction I started expanding, from my closet to my bedroom window to my parking lot. I felt like I weighed a thousand pounds, and I was made of a really dense fog or even the liquid moving around in a lava lamp. My ears were ringing and there was this intense pressure in all of my center points. Starting from my forehead, then my throat and chest, I wonder if this is an “out-of-body experience”. I had little control of all the directions I was going but as long as I had an idea of where I wanted to go my spirit was unfolding space as we entered it. Weird right? Briefly I would feel my skin, but it was as if I was not a true part of it, rather it was anchoring me while I went exploring. My fingertips and toes were buzzing which seemed to interact with the rest of my body. I began to walk through what steps I took before I entered this state. It was pretty much the same as I usual. I go into my meditation space, shut out distractions, read my daily index card, then meditate for 20-30 minutes. The only difference I can think of was the amount of time I was using. So today I am going to attempt to meditate for 41 minutes again and see if I can recreate this experience. I wonder if this is the starting point of where I can begin to co-create the daily experiences I am striving for. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have an idea of what it happening in this state? I am curious as to your experience.
