Normally when I meditate I don’t visualize, I just sit and silence my thoughts. This time I started to visualize myself flying downwards ... trying to convince my mind I wanted to go deeper. I’ve come to trust my visualizations when things just appear on me. I ran into a barrier like wall while I was flying downwards. I thought, “Ok, that’s odd.” I started to chip away slowly at the barrier in my mind and finally started to see cracks appear here and there. I backed up and picked up speed and broke through my barrier for lack of a better word - it took 3 running starts to finally burst through.
Physically I was sitting on my bed in half lotus with my wrists resting on my knees but at this point my awareness began spinning. My awareness began spinning backwards in a 360 degree motion - it took perhaps 3-4 seconds to complete a full rotation. My physical body was completely still, it was just my awareness that was spinning backwards at this point. I wasn’t dizzy but it was very disorientating to say the least.
I’ve read several thoughts on what this might be from Kundalini, to chakras opening up to chi spinning around the ethric body.
In order to get the violent spinning to slow to a stop I had to imagine a pin point and focus hard on that pin point and finally the spinning slowed to a stop. The odd thing was ... when the spinning stopped i wasn’t completely aligned with my physical body. I felt like my awareness, astral body or whatever was facing into my lap and my arms were just floating palms upwards.
Does anyone have any similar experiences and/or thoughts as to what might cause this?
