| | Anyone have ideas about what's happening?
At the beginning of each meditation session I experience extremely pleasurable sensations, feel energy moving in a circular pattern through my body, sometimes feel/see white light or coloured light coursing through me. It makes me laugh and smile. Sometimes I want to make vibratory sounds of changing pitch (so I do). My heart feels open and expanded. Sometimes my body feels much bigger than my physical body, or I feel like I'm floating. I can call up this experience pretty much any time - particularly when walking, riding a bike, feeling the wind on my skin, or seeing/smelling beautiful flowers.
After meditating for a while these sensations fade to a calmer state. Sometimes I have mild physical discomfort, but the overall feeling is gentle and stable.
My guess is that I begin meditation in the Arising and Passing Away. But I've read that starting in A&P happens after stream entry. I recently had a cessation experience during an ayahuasca ceremony, but beginning each meditation session with these intensely pleasurable, blissful experiences had been happening for a while before the cessation experience.
I'd appreciate any thoughts anyone wants to share with me. |
