Namaste brothers and sisters.
I have a recent experience to share and was hoping someone could shed light on what happened during my meditation.
I was sitting upright with my legs crossed and my fingers interlocked with each other resting on my legs (something I usually do as it is comfortable for me). Around about 20 mins in I felt a slight form of pressure on my right cheek, naturally I opened my eyes and had a look but as soon as I opened my eyes the pressure went. At the time I assumed it was just a slight muscle spasm, as I had been to gym the previous day. As I continued on meditating, the pressure came back so this time I kept my eyes closed, all of a sudden the pressure moved up, over my eye, onto my forehead and travelled over the top of my head until it was exactly at the back of the head where the spine connects to the brain. During this I kept my eyes closed, when all of a sudden the pressure moved inside my head, then something quite amazing happened. All I could hear was a form of classical type music with orchestrated choir in it, this was something I’ve never heard in my life and it wasn’t repetitive as it would be when you try to play a song in your head(it get’s stuck and replays old parts). During this I started to get pulses in my fingers in a pattern, first the small fingers on both hands pulsed, then the next ones up, then the middle fingers then the index fingers. This happened over and over as the music played in a pattern 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4, ect. I was in perfect harmony, I can’t really describe it but I was the happiest I’ve ever felt in my life, no thoughts crossed my mind and all I wanted to do was sit there all evening and listen to the music. I was still in my mental happy place(the place I envision when I meditate ). Then it revealed something to me, something I’ve been supressing for many years, a thought of self-doubt but, it was myself shouting it at me within my head, then I opened my eyes and contemplated what was revealed to me, I accepted it instead of hiding from it. Then I continued through the night not meditating but continuing with my studies, and the music stayed for a few hours after, but all night no external inner thoughts were in my head and all I could feel was peace.
I honestly have no idea what happened (which Is why im asking as I’m new to meditation and only been doing it for 8 months). Hopefully someone can shed some light on what happened.
