Seeing people during meditation

Celesia · #1 09-03-2012, 01:05 PM

Lately when I meditate I see people, usually doing mundane things like talking on the phone, looking out a window at their garden, or reading a book. No words or sounds, just quick images. I was wondering if this was my imagination or the beginnings of something else. The last reading I did on someone I saw a brunette woman rub her jaw like it hurt and I asked her if that was what she did. She said yes and it made me excited and fearful at the same time. This is very new to me. I'm just looking for guidance and/or advice.

"Just" your imagination? Why are you being dismissive of imagination?

While our prevailing culture tends to equate "imagination" with "fiction," if you're one who explores the otherworlds or other more esoteric ways of thinking, you need to discard this from your brain. All it really means to call something "imaginary" is to acknowledge it exists in the otherworlds rather than the "physical/objective reality."

So yes, what you saw was imaginary. In no way does this make it not real. However, usually the objective of meditation is not to have visions. That is what journeying or pathworking is for. Folks have different philosophies on meditation, though, so interpret that as you will.

Focused meditation can bring about a trance, which could be taking you to a multitude of places. Probably best to not worry what it is. Try and focus on what the energy you feel from these people is like; if it's familiar, or otherworldly or something. Could be past-life, could be the future, or it could be a sort of window. Just keep doing what you're doing, the answers will come. Remember that the first generations to gain these abilities did not have written guidelines, or mentors; they had to trust in their feelings. Blessed be~

Quintessence - That was not my intention. I guess I should have phrased my question differently, but I thank you for this new information you have given me.

Varun - When I get the chance today I'll try your advice. I just hate walking blindly into thing, no pun intended.

Thank you both!

WinterLily... Seeing people shows you're not going very deep into meditation, just in the astral or psychic realm.

If you want to experience your true nature as spirit, notice the quiet open space within and ease into that.

As much as it is correct, experiencing ones' true nature may take some times, maybe many years.
