old dried leaf:
I could guess in that our experiences are the arising and passing away, or sensations of the dark night, or kundalini. I am not sure, and I am sure there is a clear explaination for this experience. Knowing where this experience fits in on a map could direct us on how to proceed.
Andreas, I have not meditated since this experience, so I cannot add any new content, but I will if I do experience any more. I would guess that the correct way to deal with this would be to maintain clearness of focused awareness on the object, while allowing all of these extraspective sensations to exist in the periphery of focus, in the background of awareness.
Yes, that's also what I thought. I'm experiencing all kinds of blockages that I can't really pin down in terms of their meaning and how to deal with them. But investigating and letting things be is probably always the best thing to do.
