Hi HealingLight77,

I say a prayer before I attempt deep meditation. I do ask for protection and guidance. It's strange that you mention imagining inner spirit light spreading outwards. When I had those experience I believe the most prominent emotion I felt before entering meditation was love. I felt such an abundance of it, so much it felt as though it were pouring out of me.

When I experienced the spinning a second time, I was feeling love before meditation as well. I wonder if there is a connection.
