Hi,
The ringing in both ears nevers stops. If I laugh, my head becomes hot. My hands tingle most of the time and I can get my tongue almost to stage 2..
Here is what I did for this morning's practice session:
1) Held my hands in prayer posture and prayed to God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I said I was grateful for the love, protection, abundance, strength, inner vision and perfect health. I've discovered that being grateful is more powerful than asking for things. I also thanked them for sending healing to a diabetic lady with a herniated disk whom I corresponded with on a forum recently.
2) I did the Breath of Fire for 5 minutes. (similar to bellows breath)
I used the Venus hand lock.
3) I did spinal breathing, Yogani classic style, for 5 minutes. I was getting quite a bit of heat in my head and upper body. The heat balls kind of follow my attention up and down my spine. I was feeling particularily clear and attentive today for some reason.
4) I relaxed for 1 minute and then started the "i am" mantra. For this, I put all my fingers together so they all touch each other on each hand and then I touched the two hands together. My reasoning is that touching all the fingers to the thumb on each hand completes the pathways/ciruit for each side, and then touching the hands together would complete the left and right pathways/circuits of the body.
On the very first "i am", which I sent from the heart, it sounded like a whole choir had kicked in and was singing the "i am". Then I heard this voice, talking rapidly coming from the medula center of my head. I listened to it and the voice was praying to God at a mile a minute. I could hear the words flowing into a stream directly to an area of bright colors, like a carnival of glowing tents, structures and other things.
I listened to the voice and it was saying things like this:
"Although I feel alone in the world and the loneliness never ends you are always with me and give me courage and strength and neverending blessings for my life is but a shadow of the meek that thereby abide in the comfort of the light..." and on and on, at about 120 words a minute or faster with no breaks.
I started to cry. I was engulfed in tingles and waves coming up from the back of my heart going upwards. Who was this voice? It sort of sounded like me. Who was praying? It sounded very lonely. Why did the words stream into the wonderful glowing scene, like a neverending thread of connection?
I shut it all down and grabbed a kleenex, composed myself and tried to meditate again. The voice was still there, so was the scene but the scene was getting bigger, wider and clearer. It felt like the words prayed themselves into heaven or some majestic dimension.
I tried to meditate with strict mantra repetition but I was not succeeding anymore. I could not ignore the voice nor the scene. I ended up just sitting there for a while, trying to grasp what was happening. I was kind of amazed. I mean, I've heard voices before when a spirit or an astral being said a phrase or two to me, but I've never heard a rapid continuous stream of prayerful words from one source directed towards and opening up some scene that resembled 'heaven' or some other plane.
I didn't want to listen to the stream of words, not really, it was so lonely yet it wasn't lonely. It was powerful and potent. I felt apprehensive about the whole thing but at the same time I was awe-struck.
The voice is still there. The scene is still there. I'm just ignoring it right now. Even as I write this... but deep down inside, I want to go back and melt into the words and let them carry me away to see where they will lead. When I just think of it, my eyes start to get teary.
Has anyone else here experienced hearing continuous streams of one or more voices? If so, what was your experience like?
