Novice meditator - Discussion
Hello,
I'm a novice meditator and just wanted to quickly identify my first slightly unusual experience. In the middle of a long sit, the considerable pain I'd been feeling suddenly disappeared and my body began to feel very light; both the sensations of the breath (to which I was paying attention), and mental phenomona (of which I was maintaining an awareness) became very big, such that the thought that I would ever have to try to pay attention to / be aware of them became comically absurd; there was also a very healthy dose of bliss and contentment.
Just wondering if this is a waymark state that I should expect to enter again, or something more random that can pop up anytime?
Many thanks
