Rotating sensation while journeying?
Good morning!
I recently started studying shamanism. This afternoon, while journeying, I had the undeniable sensation that my upper body was rotating - clockwise, and then counterclockwise - repeatedly. It was vaguely similar to having the spins after a night of drinking, except that this was controlled, precise, I was not drinking, and my eyes were closed. It is worth mentioning that directly before I had the sensation of rotating, I was very aware that my body was vibrating. At first I was frightened - I thought maybe I was having a stroke or something. But after I observed the sensation, it was quite exhilarating. I have never experienced anything remotely like this while meditating, journeying or attempting to meditate. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, and if anyone should share their insight. Blessed be. |
yes, quite the trip isn't it? I've recently had the same thing happen while meditating, the vibrations and body rotating...felt like an astronaut might feel.
I feel that it has to be one of my energy bodies that's doing the rotating as I could, at the same time feel the physical body vibrating. It might have come about from not being grounded enough in my case, it hasn't happened since, after doing some grounding exercises. |
So grateful for finding this community - and I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this! Quite honestly, I was freaking out a little.
Thanks for sharing! |
Some other observations:
I usually meditate while lying down. I have felt dizzy while meditating before (similar to the spins); I've also felt like I was stuck in a sideways tilt (almost like I was lying in a hammock or a canoe that was about to tip over). This was different, though, as I was rotating fairly quickly and at a steady pace; there was a specific pattern to the rotations, if that makes sense. Also, I felt like the rotations were connected to my inhales and exhales; if it happened again, I feel that I would be able to direct the rotations. It was like I was pivoting. A final observation to note is that, at times, it felt like only my upper body was rotating; it felt distinctly separate from my lower body on several occasions. |
Some further thoughts...I also meditate laying down. After reading your last post, it triggered a thought I had not considered. It may be the merkaba. I did a bit of reading tonight, and it seems some other folks experiencing it feel it is merkaba related. Everyone agrees that it is pleasurable.

I had a similar experience a couple years ago... I wrote about recently in this thread (towards the bottom):
