I am not sure what this means exactly, but many people have this during the early days of learning meditation and etc. I had it myself many years ago. It usually only happens a couple of times, and then stops.

This used to happen to me when I was a kid, most of the time while I was sleeping (semi-trance state probably).

That feeling of getting bigger and smaller (in dreams also) is caused by a chakra located at the chest area (heart chakra?). If you concentrate on your cheast while experiencing that feling you will probably notice that is the expanding energy from your chest the one responsible for that kind of sensations.

Actually that energy feeling is like a magnetic field (created by opposite poles) coming out the chest that can be accompanied by a stirring movement.
