Hello everyone, I just finished week one, I would like to share my thoughts and ask a few questions. I will do it day by day so I can remember better.
Day 1- After having a few random OBE experiences in my life and one deliberate one I decided to get informed on the topic and practice. I found M.A.P. so I decided to give it a try. The first day was a bit hard, I haven't meditated a lot in my life so the focus and clearing the mind was hard. Relaxing the feet and legs was amazing though. The 5 minute breathing exercise was extremely hard, I wanted to stop so many times... it felt like an eternity but I managed to get through it. The focus part was good tho, I enjoyed it.
Day 2- Probably the most intense day so far. The breathing part was so much easier, I was in a really deep trance and time went by a lot quicker... I felt so much peace and calm. The focus part was good too, after finishing with the exercises on the book I decided to do a couple more traces from the genitals to the brow area, I felt a huge blockage in my throat area so I worked more time on that part. After that I set my focus about 2 inches away from the brow chakra and kept it for some minutes. Suddenly all my body started vibrating fast, and the vibration feeling started moving upward, like I was "floating". I decided to stop this since I don't want to rush it but it was amazing.
Day 3, 4, 5- Not much here, the breathing and body relaxation parts got a lot easier... I started doing 10 min breathing instead of 5. Good energy work, I started getting a lot better on those sensations and I really enjoy these exercises. Some days I felt a bit tired after the energy work but I guess its normal. By the way, when I work on my feet I feel tingling on my hands as well, not as strong as the feet but has anyone experienced this? What could be the reason?
Day 6- Such a beautiful session. I loved the full body relaxation, especially the neck and face parts, it works great. Good breathing work as well. This is probably the day that I've reached a deeper trance, I was totally submerged on the exercise and nothing could disturb me, noices seemed to come from very far away and I could barely feel my body. I even felt like my hands were a bit higher than they actually were. After I was done, I took my dogs for a walk... all my senses were really open, I saw brighter colors, my skin was really sensitive and I had a very sharp hearing. Also I felt so grateful and happy to be alive. Has anyone gone through something similar after meditation?
Day 7- The session was great as well, I had some serious energy work on my legs this time. I took a nap in the afternoon and tried to project, I fell asleep and then woke up a few minutes later... I tried again. I felt the vibrations once more, but my body was paralized, I couldn't move at all... I tried to move my toe as indicated and I succedeed, then I woke up. Why does this happen?? Was that sleep paralysis??
Anyways... quite a journey to be honest, I am quite excited for the next week.
A few extra notes. The journal has worked great, I remember at least 2 dreams per night now and I've gotten the hang of it. Note: As soon as you wake up don't open your eyes or move, recap the dream 2 or 3 times before doing so... then quickly write key words about it. This makes retention a lot easier. By the way, I've been having so many false awakenings in my dreams, I wake up and then realize I am still dreaming. I check my cellphone when this happens and if I have weird messages I know I am dreaming (lol!). What does this mean? Is it any sort of progress?
Thanks for reading! I hope you had a great weekend!
