Tim Otanocnaz:
My awareness kind of dropped into the center of my body, I became very stable in my posture and felt a slowing of time. My body felt like it was expanding but at the same time I was feeling detached and the whole feeling had a mild tint of comfortable sadness to it. I'm finding it kinda hard to put into words, i'm not sure what stage this is on the 'path'
Has anyone else had a similar experience of recall from childhood?
Sounds like you may have gotten absorbed into the first jhana. Daniel describes them in his book.
Nice altered states there and lots of fun when you start exploring them.
Good luck,
