I wasn't sure exactly where to put this post, but thought this would be appropriate! So yesterday during a meditative session, I had an interesting experience I wanted to share just in case anyone else has experienced something similar. I'd gone through my usual "intention affirmation" and was meditating quietly when I started to try and expand my consciousness as I often do. I do this by setting my intention to share "Love" with All-That-Is and imagine myself as pure energy, similar to a "fuzzy bubble". I don't think this has happened to me before, but my awareness actually felt as if my physical body was somehow distancing itself from me. I could still FEEL it and knew I was a part of me, but I actually felt almost body-less, as if I was not only the body, but BEYOND it as well.
It was really an interesting feeling that lasted for 10 or 15 minutes (my best estimate of time). I was able to open my eyes and the feeling still remained--very strange, as I felt almost as an observer who was somehow looking through the "windows" of my eyes.
On a not-so-related note (but still part of my ongoing "awareness expansion" process), I woke from a terrible dream this morning in which I was engaged in some protective activities, apparently helping keep a community safe from a number of armed and violent combatants. I was patrolling in a vehicle and shot through the windshield into my chest/throat area. I knew instantly that it was a fatal wound, but when I awoke, I immediately felt that I should accept and "integrate" whatever aspect had just been "killed" (and expressed my intent to do so). It's strange, but I'm feeling increasingly conscious of MANY aspects that seem to be making their presence known and are seemingly quite uncomfortable with the physicality of my body. This is manifesting primarily in my awareness of breathing--where I sometimes feel as if my lungs aren't quite big enough to bring in all the oxygen I need!
I know this is all just a part of the energy integration process, but geez...I can't wait until this weirdness is finally over and things settle down!
