Strange energy/vibration during deep meditation?
#5402276 - 03/15/06 06:59 AM (17 years, 10 months ago) |

The last time I tried meditating, I got a strong buzzing/vibrating feeling in my spine, just behind my sternum. This buzzing/vibration was very intense and uncomfortable, causing me to stop my meditation.
Anyone have any idea what this could have been or how to stop it?

sounds alot like what happens right before astral projection to me. if you pay the vibrations no attention your astral body will seperate with ease.

You did stop it - by ceasing your meditation.
I would say - dive in head first, see what happens.

I've heard of this situation before; I would say similarly to DanoEoboy that you should dive in with this... just attempt to relax some more, take deep breaths. You don't mention if you focus on anything duing meditation - but I would suggest a burning candle... study the colours and the way it flickers. If/when this sensation appears, try to intensify your focus on your chosen object and allow yourself to be entirely involved with it. Doing this will help in you separating yourself fom the material, and see your unity with the outer world and the world beyond (for me this is represented by the flame; it lives, but not in the sense of us, or the family pet).
I hope this helps... PM me or respond if you like...

Candles were lit. Music was playing. It was a normal meditation in virtually every aspect, except for the strange vibration.
I have had odd sensations during meditations before. Normaly they are associated with sore/tired muscles. This time it was WAY more intense. Almost like someone had stuck an electrical cord to my spine, and the longer I meditated the stronger it became.

Have you had any spinal injuries? This sounds like a central nervous system obstruction of some kind. You may need to be a bit careful with it and explore some vibrational and "hands-on" therapies to get your vital energies flowing again.
(Acupuncture, crystal essences, Devil's Claw, Aloe Vera (Barbadensis orally) and "internal" sound work -mantric chanting- are a few suggestions.)

To me it sounds like the the kundilini sp? of your etheric body was waking up.
Or, it sounds like a chakra was being stimulated. When I meditate I somtimes feel my lower chakras (not brow or crown)tingling, and then I feel them as though they were swirling vortex's of energy. It's very exciting and hard to maintain. I too have the urge to break free and stop.

Note the sensation. Then carry on.
When insights occur, fascinating thoughts or feelings arise, or wonderful sensations it is very important to just note and keep on letting go.
Don't let it distract you. But to me it sounds like a good thing.
Although if you've been meditating for a while I would suspect you already knew this, and therefore it boggles me that you would ask this question in the first place.
Peace.

I've noticed that during high dose meditation (psilos) depending on the direction of my thought, or the quality, or the subject, I am subject to something very similar. Seems as though the vibration either agrees with what I am contemplating and rewards me, or doesn't and I get something like you are talking about. It only is a short zap, but definitely feels just as you described, like electricity. Enough to make me jump and feel startled, therefore ending my thought process. Its like static builds up caused by the friction of my thoughts with the thoughts of the divine. When they are way off the energy is discharged.

the energy you describe is kundalini or bio-electricity, and yes it is HOT. very hot. it can be dangerous and uncomfortable if you are not ready for its movement in the body.

I do some meditation retreats and somthing similiar oocurs for me. However, all energy is vibration and it your mind becoming more in tune with that. Somthing you will notice is that your body will only physically vibrate when your mind is reacting to inner vibration.
I have this physical vibration quiet often especially in deep meditation. The best thing to do is to simply note " this vibration too is changing". It has been said before that the primary wisdom of the buddhas is the wisdom of change . To simply observe " yes this too is changing - it is not unique" I would also add that what you are experiencing is quiet natural and in no way harmful.
If this experience occurs again i would encourage you to simply observe the sensation. The sensation is of more importence in meditation than thoughts. So when your thinking " this is uncomftorble " " this is strange / weird etc etc " It is better that if you are going to note anything you simply note " this too is changing " and continue to observe whatever sensations arise.
If you wish to learn more on meditation there are some great meditation retreats called vipassana meditation. They have centers around the world and do free-of-charge non-sectarian 10day silent retreats.
