Wierd question about the process of meditation...?

Question

I know this is going to sound odd. Serious answers only plz.

I've been trying to meditate every now & then, for a few years. I get to a point where I feel like my energy almost floats and becomes concentrated very strongly at the crown & my forehead. Then, "I" stop associating with my body & it becomes all about this energy. It's a really strong feeling & I feel like something is trying to rise, but it is having a hard time & sometimes I even feel my body kind of clench and start to come up. I think I get scared at this point & don't know what to expect & it never gets past that. It's as strong a feeling as an o****m, and it feels almost like something is trying to escape. My body is still there, but kinda numb & I can feel it, but it is just a reservoir for this energy & I am fully aware of that. It's accompanied by an unfamiliar feeling of curiosity, fear and confusion. I don't know if this is making sense but I want to know how to go further & what is going on? Please help!

Answer 1

This is easier said than done, but to go farther you'll have to relax and let go.  The clenching and fluttering eyelids is caused by your resistance.  When you're ready, it will happen.

Answer 2

its your kundalini rising.. it happens to me all the time. but with me, me body starts to rotate all by itself.. CONTINUE MEDITTATING and it will stop as your physical body learns to control it.

Answer 4

It does sound more kundalini than out of body to me, something along the lines of a suppressed version of the uraeus effect.  I'm familiar with thrashing energy out of my forehead, but the tension for me has been local only - the rest of my body was calm.  Help and support is available here (for free) if you need:

Answer 5

That must be the greatest feeling in the world when that happens, even better than an o****m. Consider yourself lucky, and do not be afraid of it. All of this diffidently should be happening during meditation, that is if you are a dedicated sitter. Next time you meditate and feel this way, let the feeling continue, don't stop it. Try and push it farther, stretch your energy as far as it will let you.

Answer 6

This is something that needs to come naturally...you cannot push it and if you do you can cause some problems for yourself.  The hesistation is caused because of the struggle between the "I" and your true self.  Your true self which is pure energy is attempting to transcend to the next level of your journey and your "I" gets scared so it snaps you back into the consciousness that you already know.  As your journey progresses issues will come up that need to be let go.  It's probable that your not ready yet for that next level.  I would suggest that you seek out a teacher...just ask the universe to help you find one and they will appear in your life.  A teacher will aid you on your path and help you out with the struggles that you're going through.  Hope this helps...good luck and God bless.

Answer 7

My teacher would have explained it something like this. You are about to have an out of body experience.  You say "I think I get scared at this point".  That could be what stops you from going any farther and makes your body clench to hold onto your spirit.  You have some unknown fear of going farther so you don't.  I recommend seeing a professional, someone you trust.  The most inexpensive option is to take some adult education evening classes for $20 for 6 weeks instead of private office visits which could be $200+ for 1 hour.  Explain what's happening and they will relax you and reassure you as you go that you are safe and can always return at any time.  I think all you need is the reassurance that you will be safe.  You sound like you're doing very well.  If you feel you have the experience to do this on your own, then go for it.  It sounds like you can.  Good luck.
