When you begin to meditate for any significant length of time. You will begin to notice that there are definite Stages of Meditation that you will encounter.<\/p>\n
In this article, I’ll go through the ones I have experienced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you begin to meditate, the noise of your untamed monkey-like mind is rampant. For most people, you have lived\u00a0your entire life never having attempted to focus the mind.<\/p>\n
The result is a mind untamed, and undisciplined.\u00a0A Monkey like mind jumping all over the place.\u00a0You need to tame the beast and bring it under control!<\/p>\n
When you first sit down and begin a regular practice of meditation you may encounter the following stages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The mind is all over the place, trying to bring the attention to one place (breath) and hold it there seems like the hardest thing in the World. You will be shocked at how difficult it is, annoyed and disappointed in your self even.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you keep practicing and maintain a practice of paying full attention to the FLOW of your breath. you will begin to gradually find the attention begin to settle, and thoughts begin\u00a0to dissipate.<\/p>\n
Thoughts may still arise, and the attention may waver, but time and time again you will bring it back to the flow<\/strong> of your breath, strengthening your concentrative powers. You will feel a subtle peace entering you as concentration improves and you maintain attention on the breath.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you do this you may begin to notice subtle changes, sign-posts, physiological responses along the way. For instance, your left or right ear may flutter. Your head may start to feel as if a powerful invisible force is pressing on your temples around or on the sides of your head, or between your eyes. It can feel like your head is being squeezed in a vice at times. It can be amazing and scary at the same time as the sensations are very real. Be bold, and persevere! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may feel or hear disturbances in your room. Things may move, invisible things may touch your hair or body. You may feel taps or feel something touch you. Your head may spontaneously move to the left, or right. As if invisible hands were grabbing them and moving them. You may feel your head or body expand. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As your concentration improves more, other physiological changes will occur. You will notice that as your concentration and one-pointed mind becomes deeper and the thin sliver of your focused attention becomes sharper. Your body will become more and more rigid and firm. Almost as if it were dead. or as the Yogis would say, as solid as a mountain, immovable. As this happens, the attention can become extremely focused. The eyes may automatically start to slightly roll up in their sockets and point towards the point in between your eyebrows, or third eye region, and you may spontaneously feel to reposition your hands, facing up or spontaneously feel to adopt a mudra.<\/p>\n3. Physiological and Energetic Phenomena<\/h2>\n
What is occurring is that you are clearing energy channels within your subtle body, that previously have not been consciously used. And as these channels are being cleared, you will feel these forces\/pressures in and around your head.<\/p>\n4. Expansion of Consciousness<\/h2>\n
We\u00a0are used to our\u00a0consciousness being limited to the boundaries of one’s\u00a0skin. You may literally feel your head expand. I remember the first time I experienced this deep in meditation for many hours around the age of 18.
it felt as if my head had literally expanded! With my eyes closed in focus, it felt as if my head had grown a good inch in size around in front of my forehead.<\/em>\u00a0When I opened my eyes and touched my forehead to feel if it had actually grown, my hands told me a different story, my head physically<\/span> felt the same as before! Yet closing my eyes again, the sensation of my head being larger was\u00a0definitely\u00a0there and real! The boundaries of my consciousness usually felt to be limited by the skin had expanded beyond the boundary of my skin, and that space that it had extended to felt just like “me” I was conscious within that space…<\/em> Only years later in a Seth book, did he explain the inner senses<\/a>, and one in particular; The “Expansion or Contraction of the Tissue Capsule<\/a>” is the sense that I inadvertently activated that night. The ability to expand or contract your energy field.<\/p>\n5. Diving Deeper<\/h2>\n
