intense meditations lately!

Hey all, so i've been meditating for a little less than a year now but within the last week or so i've really been stepping it up. 3 nights ago I began to feel so really intense energy all over my body and it even felt like my hands and feet were being massaged energetically? dont know if it makes sense, but its the best way i can describe the feeling. It felt so good, I was very relaxed and so happy. Last night i actually started to hear the first 5 or 6 notes of what sounded like classical music.. i know it sounds weird, i thought it was too so obviously i let my curiousity/excitement get the best of me.. i stopped hearing it after 5 notes.. heard one more very softly and then i didnt hear it anymore.

Anyone else having weird/new experiences lately, I would love to hear from others!! Thank you guys for listening, much love to u all.

Hi Hungerforknowledge,

It sounds like you're having a lot of energy experiences. In Sanskrit these are called "kryias". These are usually all about purification so that higher vibration energy and consciousness can manifest in and through you. In meditation practice the goal is higher consciousness not energy experiences - but I know it's easy to get caught up in the drama of the experience. I've gone through a number of them myself but they do subside and this too is normal.

If you really want a really really detailed explanation have a read of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
