An experience

[dreskir]

- earlier today i was meditating and breifly lost concentration, and
i think i fell a sleep or something. but, i had a sensation that i
was hyperventilating in my sleep, and as though i would "pass out"
while in this state of consciousness. does this make any sense what
so ever. it doesnt to me. i just wonder if any one has ever gone
through the same thing, it feels like im getting to "the brink" of
something happening, and then i snap back, instead of continuing on.
maybe this is no big deal and im just not breathing properly, but its
weird none the less, and i just wondered if anyone has a had a
simialr experience, thank you.

i have had a similar experience and i thought it was a dream (i
wasn't trying to meditate but trying to sleep)but it could have been
anything... you never really know what is happening in the middle of
the night... it was something i remembered vividly. i felt like i
was smothering... it was physical and psychological. i could not
breathe... then i would awake. then while falling back into sleep,
it would happen again. this was happened in one evening... it could
have happened before without me remembering it. the sensation was
that there was no air available to breathe. it was the absence of
air. i don't remember any dreams or revelations about it, other than
i felt the longing to breathe but the inavailability of air to
breathe.

love and light to you

hi ?,

my guess is that through your meditation you activated your throat chakra.
probably after you fell asleep when you relaxed. this sometimes happens to
me. a book i have found very helpful is astral dynamics by robert bruce.
below is the link to his web page. if you can not afford it there are some
free downloads on his site that should help you.

the second link is to the forum on his site. if you post your experience
there you will found some far more experienced people than me to assist you.
i would say that this was a promising sign for me and i had a very inspiring
meditation shortly after this. if i had to analyse my experience i would say
my unconscious mind was clearing this chakra so that i could move on to
greater work.

hope that helps.

cheers,

mawk
