A question for any experienced meditators
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2017 5:50 am
I would be grateful if anybody could shed any light on a recent development in my meditation journey. I haven't been investing any more time to meditating than usual but definitely have hit a new chapter and I'm pretty sure it's a good thing, no side effects so far.
Basically any really evocative experiences (usually in nature) such as being in water or a strong breeze etc. hits me really hard. Not like 'oh that's nice how beautiful', it's got the impact of a hard body shot, but in a good way. It could literally knock me off of my feet and feels somewhat other worldly and powerful enough that I have to kind of ride it out. As a result whilst still being entirely functional in the real world, most mundane things particularly work just cannot hold my attention.
I've been taught about all kinds of phases of development but this one seems to not fit any of those. If anybody has experienced anything similar or is particularly knowledgeable I would be grateful for any input.
