| | Absolutely normal. I go through a hypersensitive state during concentration practices also. I'm not doing anything advanced and aren't that good at it, but little noises can startle me. It can be a bit like those dreams you have where you think you're falling and suddenly wake up.
Also, as the second poster, a sound can inspire a definite feeling in my body as a sensation, and also I can see a light that's connected to a sound. The first time it happened I was in a darkened room and someone turned a light switch on the the adjacent room. As soon as I heard it my whole field of vision (behind my closed eyes) lit up and I thought the light had come on in the room I was in, but no, when I opened my eyes I was still in the dark.
I think if anything, it's a sign of early progress (I hope!); it doesn't happen if I'm not very relaxed and at least a little concentrated.
So, not to worry. |
