Hello,
Was wondering if anyone could relate to this and give me some insight into what's going on.
I've been meditating for about 3 or 4 years now, and in the last 6 months it's really taken a turn and provided many insights into my true self and much of the LOO material.
Lately, in the last 2 months or so, I've been getting these very strange sensations. During meditation, I see all sorts of lights and patterns shifting up through my vision. Eyes open or closed, it corresponds to a kind of vibratory feeling in the middle of my head. Sometimes the lights get so intense that with eyes open, sitting, I can't see my lower body.
Occasionally, not while meditating, I get these really intense and strange 'surge' feelings - like I've been hit by a lightning bolt. There'll be a ringing noise in my ears which increases in pitch and an intensely electric feeling through my whole body and head. It'll last maybe 10 seconds or so then fade away. Weird thing is, it's started happening in dreams, too. I practice Buddhism so the best advice I've gotten is not to worry and not to cling to the feeling, but I'm worried in case it happens while driving or what have you. They're not unpleasant feelings per se, just very intense and I feel kind of disturbed by them afterwards as I have no explanation.
Can anyone relate to this experience, and possibly shed some light onto what's happening? I'm not entirely sure where to turn for guidance, I don't know many people on the spiritual path.
