God Pod or Life, the Universe and Everything

A creative, open and playful discussion group on God, spirituality, art, politics… in other words, on life, the universe and everything. Yes, the answer is 42 but what is the question? All are welcome, and invited to engage in  dialogue with love, mindfulness, and respect.
down  About This Room
Are you drawn to silence and finding God there? This is the place where we muse upon the ins and outs of mysticism and being a contemplative, in a practical sense.

What do you experience when you meditate?

Andrew [no longer around] said Nov 8, 2008, 5:22 PM:
 

I experience a wonderful feeling of release from the stresses and pressure of this incarnation, and at times an expansion of my awareness into a ***** that is beyond my vocabulary to describe.

I'd would love to hear what other peoples experiences are like if you are willing to share them.

When I can truly let go of my surroundings and quiet my internal self, the experience while meditating is extraordinary.  I feel such a release of self.  All of the earthly problems that surround me are gone for that moment…my body is fully restored to health…I am one with everything…perfect peace.  I am learning how to focus that energy into my state of awakening….attempting to re-surface from my meditative state and apply it to every aspect of my day.  I am finding that I am becoming more successful at this task…the days where I can stay in the moment, spurred on by my meditations, are blissful and complete…..unfortunately, my human side kicks in more often than not and my freewill, negative, sinful nature takes over…..always a process for me, nothing near perfection!!  ;-)

I've experienced all types of things when I meditate.  


Visions/consciousness-location shifts, spontaneous mantras, non-being, and a flood of light into my crown chakra are a few examples.

I've always had 'good' luck meditating… I just seemed to know what to do.  

The trick is not to try… ; )
