Hi Jane. Would you mind describing your experience of "vibrations intensifying"? Sounds like Morgan is heading in that direction and I am currently right in it (once more). Would be good to hear your account..
thanks,
For the longest time, what happens to me in Equanimity is that for every sit I get dreamy images and then suddenly the mind clears and I experience my whole body as gentle vibrations. Then it's back to dreamland, then it's more vibrations. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Sooner or later I'll have sits where the vibrations become more pronounced, less gentle. The visual field is in motion. The heartbeat sounds like a jackhammer. The noise in the ears feels like crickets screaming. There's a sense of expectancy. It seems to build, get louder, more exciting, more intense. It's not kriyas; I'm not actually moving, but my whole universe is in motion.
What came next on the day I got SE is I felt as if the whole thing exploded, then began to wind down. Then there was a massive bliss wave. I wasn't even sure about it at the time; it's what happened on subsequent sits that made it clear. In the case of second path, I had a less powerful buildup, then all of a sudden everything stopped and went silent. The noise stopped, the motion stopped, then I found myself thinking, huh? And it started up again, only began to wind itself down following a bliss wave. Again, thought it was nothing until the aftereffects became clear.
