Has something ever touched you during meditation?

[Lolly]

I fell asleep whilst meditating and on waking felt like something was seeping into my body. Has anybody experienced anything like this?

Sometimes you can sense subtle energies in the body and also the energy field around the body. During meditation your awareness can go to deeper levels and you can feel subtle energies that we normally don't notice. It could be energy, could be something else. Do you feel a tingly sensation?



















normally don't notice.

As in percolating each pore, energising...?

yeah i agree, from this and other posts I've gathered you are getting introduced to 'energies' for lack of a better word. It is very hard to distance oneself from all the stories that have been written about them for generations though, to see through them to what they are. There is a lot of mythology surrounding all this... which I guess is kinda fun for us as humans but like usual personally I haven't been able to partake lol!

like another poster said, one of the most common ones to feel is 'tingling'... which most people can actually induce if they want, e.g. make your leg 'go to sleep' by cutting off blood flow. Or it is fairly easy to get also if you let yourself be chilly. But there are various others as well...

wow - just last month while in a decent deep state I distinctly felt someone touch my right leg just above the knee - kinda shocked me out - not sure what it was.

This energy feels external. I don't get a tingly feeling, I get a 'hairs standing up on the back of my neck' crawling sensation all over my body and it feels creepy. It's like someone leaning on you without the full bodyweight but it kinda seeps or settles into you. I thought I would feel energies around my aura but not on my actual body

The only other way I can describe it is like...I dunno...something merging with me? Because I've had it before, the first time it happened I didn't move or try to get up I just felt like it was best to ignore it but it scared the pants off me. This time, I was just more surprised but curious about it. Its such an odd feeling.

The thing is, most of what I'm experiencing spiritually hasn't come the way I would have thought so its been interesting when leaving all expectations out of it, understanding how it really is, if that makes sense

I'd say percolating each pore, that's a more accurate way of describing it too. Definitely not energising!

It's definitely shocking when it happens especially if its never happened before lol

I get the same kinds of feelings, especially in the woods or in high grass. I get the heeby-jeebies....then suddenly something brushes against my leg. My only explanation is elves; they are notorious for trying to mess with humans.

Other times, out of no where, I feel I'm not alone. It's creepy but I can handle the feeling by speaking to whatever just entered my space, explaining that we exist on different planes of existence, and this entity has to leave the mundane plane and return to his/her plain of existence.

It could be connected to a Kundalini awakening, most people get similar sensations all over the body. It could also be someone from the spirit world trying to communicate with you. Most likely, he is benevolent or just curious, trying to get your attention. It could even be your spirit guide.


It might be worth getting in contact with him next time he visits and ask him who he is and what he wants. I'm guessing it's a male, right?


Just be careful when communicating with him, some will tell you fibs and try to deceive you. When you're not yet fully attuned to telepathically communicate, you will get pretty simple messages from him. It could just be a thought or an intention, an image, a sign or he might just flash a word in your mind's eye. If you're not comfortable with him approaching and touching you, you should tell him so firmly, but politely. However, from your description, he does not sound malevolent.

Sometimes a fly lands on me or an ant crawls over me...

[EndoftheRoad]

Experienced the same physical sensation that feel like a soft brush/stroke across the skin but it never feels malevolent.

Gem, I often encounter Ant's or Bees when meditating outside. Bees for some reason decide to land on my body which is always a funny sensation. Ant's no matter the location, always find a way to join in. Any particular meaning you attach to that or just that it happens and there are lots of insects along the way.
