That's good.

When you sit, do not expect this to happen again though.

Sit for the sake of sitting.

I started meditating.
After reading Ramana Maharashi
I sat in position
I behind the flesh and bones
I still was aware 
I was sitting
I started to loose coordination 
I was not tied in my body
I still felt I was connected to it
I wasn't there.
I was all around the room
I consumed alcohol and drug
I was going really long
I was getting longer and longer
I was getting longer
I felt
I was going up
I was
I thought
I opened eyes

What would Ramana say?

Yea man, that's what it's all about. The love! Being in the Now.

But remember the peak experiences are just to keep you on the path.

I will, thanks

Lol, thank you for pointing out

I think he would say not to identify with brain?

Chronic777 said:

What is this 'I'?

A mere letter, and nothing more.

Brother you came real close to leaving your body. The roller coaster feeling is exactly how we describe it...

You were on the brink of the edge and weren't pulled. Maybe you could have stepped forward. There is so much more for you to come. Your very lucky.

Your excitement is the enemy, Terence Mckenna always put it best when he says " Don't give in to astonishment" my sifu told me something so similar that it doesn't quite click till your on that edge!!

We? Who you are?

Care to share your experiences?

Forever White Belt said:

I have had many friends and students who get as close as you did and get so scared they never return to meditative practice..

There is a threshold to step over. Be careful here please.

---

Hm, possibility to lose sanity? :P

Thank you for prevention. I really do not know what to expect,
but I believe that nothing can really harm me expect me myself.

EDIT: Nice quote

Right

Forever White Belt said:

No, I wouldn't say your going to lose your sanity, or hurt yourself but I have to ask if leaving your body is a goal or not??

Because if you did not plan for something like that and did not want it to happen no matter what the circumstance you maybe would feel a little distressed to say the least??

Your mind is a very fragile thing and while under an altered state of consciousness throwing it into shock can cause some disturbing side affects afterwords.

Sorry about speaking in plural I run a martial arts school (Tai-Chi Kung Fu/Chi Gong) full of practitioners of all ages/skill levels and I was referring to that "we".

---

That was not my goal, I just meditate every night, before sleep.
I really do not have goal when meditating, just focusing on breath.

After the experience I did not believe it actually, thought it's in my head still. Because I had plenty of delusions and paranoia earlier.
I really did not know what to think about it. It is my second alike experience.

Awesome, I also do martial arts, Aikido .

Did not mean to be offensive in any way, English is not my first language :P.

HeartAndMind said:

How? I don't completely understand.
It's always here...It is a thought that is always here?

I remember Ramana said about I, I. It's then behind the thought?
The real?

How to make difference?

Your not offending in anyway no worries. I have to ask please do not be offended.

Why have you started meditating? In other words do you have a goal? Be as in detail as you feel necessary.

And where did you pick up the practice of meditating? Also is there any reason why you chose just at night before bed. There are + and - here and one or the other may suit you better.

I started meditating because of my 'bad trip'. I guess I was too bound
with ego. So I started meditating to recover, to get out of the 'madness'. I really want to do well at school too. But when I meditate,
I try to drop everything that is going in my head, I force to focus
mind on one thought. Soon after 'getting out of head' things just go the way do.
I meditate on my bed and before sleep is because I don't have
time and possibilities to do this durning day.

O yea I forgot to say that Aikido is an awesome martial art be sure to add your breathing to your Chin-na and your throws in class it should increase your fighting power 200%!!

Where have you learned your breathing techniques from?? You may be getting in a little over your head with this kind of practice, especially if you are recovering from some powerful experiences. Take things slowly and remember that your whole life is ahead of you to practice!

Also meditating during the day say maybe wake up an hour earlier in the morning can help to remove a lot of the "noise" or random thoughts that may build up  over the course of your day, which helps make meditation a little less chaotic. Starting your day with a light breathing exercise say 10 to 15min helps brighten your day too! Your ready for anything after that!

---

Hm, cool. I thought that breathing is not that necesarry :P. I will breathe now !

I learned meditation from book, I don't remember exactly which one, I think
it was Sri Ramana Maharshi  - Be As You Are .
I'm really positive after meditation actually, I was unsure what happened to me durning last time just :P.

Seems like very good thing to do, should start my day earlier.

How long have you been meditating? What are out of body experiences like?
