Step in the right direction? (Meditation)
Hello,
I started doing meditation about a few months ago. I am still terribly new to it and when I used to do it, In all honestly It felt like I was just closing my eyes and trying to hard. Like I was trying to force it to happen. Today - I stumbled across something called Mindfulness Meditation and it was just a video to practice breathing. The person in the video said it is a Buddhism practice and they basically told you to pull your awareness and focus on the air you feel inhaling and exhaling from the tip of your nose and hitting the top of your lip.
Anyway, To make a long story short I tried it today, I started to see patterns that didn't take on any shapes or definite forms, but they were moving and swirling all around slowly. Some of them were light silhouettes ( cant explain they were pure light. think of a shadow on a wall, but instead of a dark shadow, it is a white shadow..lol) but then there was also dark silhouettes that wasn't light and i couldn't see through them. Seeing these is it a step in the right direction?
I've seen people talk about seeing colors, and their guides, places, and other things. will these patterns and what not eventually take a form the more I do it/deeper I learn to go into meditation?

Mindfulness is the art of meditation - you're onto it there. Visions might occur we can enjoy it while it lasts - but basic idea is keep returning the attention to breath.
