Meditation experience, page 1

I have so much difficulty silencing my mind that meditation is pretty difficult for me. To the point that I just don't do it very often at all. I have done energy raising meditation before but I have a difficult time raising it above the heart chakra.

I have had a few interesting experiences (very few) but nothing on the level of what you experienced. Your experience and others like it are what make me want to continue meditation.

I don't know if it makes you a better person or not. I can't think of too many evil people that are into meditation though... for whatever that is worth.

yes!
i feel exactly the same way i find it extremely difficult to clear my mind and so i feel discouraged to keep practicing it - even though somewhere at the back of my mind i know i will reap the benefits with more and more practice..

and yer i do feel motivated when i hear stories such as these - so thanks OP!

i especially want to try the chakra meditations - i feel as if this method in particular would help me the most..

I wish, I can meditate, but I can not. Demons keep on "anoying me". I have prayed about it, but it doesn't help. I have once used a cd, Halfway through it, I "saw" a red rose. And it also helped me to "see" apart of my childhood.

here's a nice little chakra meditation I use on google videos great for testing the waters,like i am. edit to putthe bloody video in video.google.com...

OP,good on you for doing this,I'm also just begining to play with meditation,and have also found that the chakra meditation is the most benificial. I've also had some funky stuff like you mentioned happen. "visions" and stuff,in various guises. It was certainly enough to get the attention of my previously quite skeptical mind,and carry on presuing what it is I'm trying to find out. Good luck on your journey,and don't worry,not many will rip it in this forum,cos there are quite a few people doing just what we are.

Keep it up. That's a pretty good start. I particularly liked the bit where you said you pretend. What do you think would happen if you did this in earnest?

Nothing can make you better than you are. You are what you are. Why did you decide to try to meditate? Something spoke to you. You can call it curiosity or whatever else you like. It's all the same. The fact is, you did it. You found out something. How much more do you want to know? How much could you handle knowing before your belief system was called into question? How long until you had to admit that there is indeed a Creator?

I will tell you what happened in my fourth qigong class. We were doing our usual thing of relaxing, clearing the mind, practicing and then meditating. Our sifu (instructor) then said for us to let go and let the energy move us. All the others were moving around the room, miraculously not bumping into each other, but I was still. When we were still after the practice, I had suddenly felt myself become a long wall of a liquid but was at the same time metal. I had to open my eyes to check, the feeling was so real. Then when the meditation phase began I felt a smaller egg-shape and then a larger egg-shape light up in chest and belly, respectively. I then heard everything getting farther away and a sort of white noise came between me and my surroundings, as though I was in a waterfall. I felt that I had become a waterfall. My sifu came up behind me, gave me a push and said "let yourself move". I said "I am", and thought to myself "Silly man, you can't push a waterfall". Soon afterward he called for us to still our movements and to return to our starting position. At this point I felt myself become a tree. An evergreen. I genuinely felt my body turn to wood, rings and all; my arms and hands turn to branches and twigs replete with needles and cones.

There were other similar events in during that course. It wasn't long before my life changed entirely. It's still changing. Sometimes things are more dramatic, others less.

Your question is now "How much change can you take?" How much are you willing to see, to know, to accept? Are you willing to know what you know? Once these things happen, you'll never be able to go back. You will have faith. For a "rational" person, that's a jagged little pill. Once you're here though, it's more than you could ever ask for.

I find your post intriguing for several reasons.

Don't give those entities the power that the term "demon" has given them. They are entities just like any other entity.

I find the deflection methods I have researched questionable at best. So much disinformation, if you aren't aware of a ritual, you could accidentally open yourself up more to these little buggers.

Visit my thread on the subject of these "demons":
Masses of Invisible Beings in Cities

Thanks for the reply. But the "problem" I do have goes along way deeper... They also anoy me when I goto sleep. Some time, most times they also annoy me when I am awake. I am sure that they are demons, because of my "experience" I had with Satan. I felt the "evil" for only a few moments, but that evil I had inside of me was builtup for the history of the world, and I felt it, I experienced it.

I have seen them, they are always there. They are black'ish in colour, but they group in their millions. I have also seen the "other side" spirits like them. They are the colour of white, but when they "appear", it is always a small amount of them...And a nother thing is... I have also seen the blue blobs-dots, as those are rarer to see them. I do NOT know nothing about those types.

We are referring to the same thing. I share your experiences, man. Crazy. Although I may not view it through the same Judaeo-Christian context as you... I do agree that there is an oversoul guiding them. You might call it "Satan". Interesting that we are essentially having the same experience!

EDIT: This is very very interesting. Is anybody jotting this exchange down on a piece of paper? Don't label that guy nuts!

Inrespect to you. Part of your ATS name has the word "witch". I thought, you were a witch, and that you knew about thease things. I also thought that you could "explain" them in more of a detail.

Nah its just an occult fictional book reference.....

I been meaning to change it. I am not a witch, but I can offer a suggestion, which I am working on at this very moment. Start practicing qigong energy cultivation. It doesn't require as much mental effort at first because certain moves and poses automatically generate energy regardless of whether you are in a deep meditative state or not. It will also help you clear your mind more and allow you to be able to ignore the annoyances during meditation. They might prick and poke at you, even give you head pains (that's the worst in my opinion) but they are looking for your reaction. If you give no reaction, it has no effect on your state of mind.

Qigong, and study psionics as well. Don't mess around with occult rituals. I don't trust them. Too much disinformation associated with it... too much dependence upon calling this or that entity. Qigong and psionics is pure you.

EDIT:

Sorry to the OP. Hijack of thread was not intentional.

You didnot hijack or lowjack the thread. The thread is about "Meditation experience", and what you describe does belong in with the Meditation experience that you shared with us all. I have never heard of "Qigong and psionics", maybe I should check them out on Wiki OR/AND Google.

Alter of dignity? Do you know what board you have stumbled on? We all sound crazy here.

I have never been able to meditate, but I do think... I think a lot, which may make up for it.

Inrespect. The Author of the thread would have a greater say then you, if the Author doesn't like what is written, then the Author could ask the Mods.
