Have you had similar experiences yourself?

Hi Avicus,
Yes I have and many people first beginning to meditate have too. That tingly dizzy feeing could be caused from over-breathing. This can create an imbalance between the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your body. Whenever you feel this way just stop and allow yourself to revert back to your normal breathing.
Deep breathing is slow and deliberate...your belly should rise and fall effortlessly.....when I started, I counted 4 seconds on the inbreath and 4 seconds on the out. Nice and slow. If you do this correctly, your breath rate should drop from about 14 or 15 breaths per minute to 8 to 12. This is because there is more oxygen in your blood and your lungs don't have to work as hard.
