Re: Have I awoken my energy body?
Hi zide! I have a hiking destination, Elk Mountain, that is exactly as you describe (I think) and your experience there tells me I must return to it. I've been a little out-of-sorts lately and an evening on Elk Mountain is just the prescription, would deliver me from the hum-drum world and back to the magic of Nature.
Thanks for that reminder.
I come from a little different background than many members here and can usually be counted on for an alternative perspective . With that in mind; It's been my experience that when we're having physical symptoms relating to our efforts at meditation/energy body/projection we've already blown it. There's no going forward from there as we're focused on these physical phenomena which creates a sort loop in our efforts. I'm meditating, I'm having sensations, I'm meditating, I'm having sensations and on and on.
I think when masters speak/write of these phenomena they do so in retrospect. In other words, having made the exit, they then look back and describe the experience which includes these energy body sensations. I would do my best to deemphasize these reactions. A story I remember from some book years ago; a student excitedly declares to his yogi guru that he saw a vision of the Buddha. The master reassures him. Practice, my son, and it'll go away.
Samadhi, or whatever our goal, includes these 'distractions', but cannot be attained by them. If one is on the road to their destiny, then picking up every little pebble along the way, as if the pebbles and landscape are proof that he is getting there, will certainly derail his arrival.
Hope you hang around. :
