I had a very interesting experience while meditating long time ago. I was very concentrated, I experienced vibrating input from all of my senses. I'd focus on these vibrations and they'd vibrate faster and faster. The last step was to focus on the vibration of cosciousness itself (vibrating act of noticing phenomena). These vibes would speed up too until the cosciousness "dissolved" it self. Then, my head would "open" like
this. There was this blue fluorescent grid that turned "inside out" into a hypersphere, it was exactly like
this one. My surroundings dissolved into beautiful fluorescent rainbow shades.
The sphere would then emit fibers of blue light from each of its cells. These fibers were composed of smaller fibers, which consisted of other fibers, etc. Finally the smallest fiber contained 3d models of various objects and creatures in and endless succession. There was so much information contained in that experienced, I felt like connected to a optic fiber that flooded my brain with information.
This experience ended after some time (probably under a minute) with a feeling that I had contact with something of divine nature.
My questions are:
- did anyone had a similar experience?
- what happened and what did I "access"? what it brahman?
PS
Just before my head "opened" there was an automatic movement composed of two parts:
- pushing my sternum bone forward (there was a sensation of something unlocking in the center of my chest),
- moving both of my hands (wrists, with hands extended) backwards at high speed. There was a sensation of invisible "shackles" on my wrists unlocking and disappearing

Hi Microcosm,
Here is Lesson 128. This may answer some of your questions.
quote:
Q: Thank you very much for that illuminating discourse on the "left" siddhasana and "right" padmasana; my experiences with these two asanas are fully in tune with what you have described. I notice that while sitting in siddhasana for more than 1/2 hour, there is an intense pressure that builds up in the head (kind of like the same pressure one feels in the head while doing Mulabandha)- is there something I can do lessen the intensity of this pressure? I am wondering if one can use a prosthetic aid at the perineum while sitting in padmasana itself; this seems to me that it would confer the benefits of both siddhasana and padmasana together?
A: I'm happy you found the lesson helpful. To balance the pressure in the head, make sure you are doing spinal breathing. Also do sambhavi along with your mulabandha and siddhasana. Ultimately you will have kechari too, which plays a big role in the new biology in the head. All of these will help the rising energies find balanced spiritual functioning.
There will be certain adjustments in the head as the spiritual biology comes up. I call them "growing pains," and sometimes we just have to heal our way through them. I had occasional soreness in the brain stem (medulla oblongata), and coming forward through the third eye. It is all ancient history now (it became ecstatic bliss), and it will be for you too. If it gets uncomfortable, just back off the mudras, bandhas, and kumbhaka and give it a rest. It should heal up in a day or two. It is a lot like athletic conditioning, taking ourselves gradually to new levels of capability we did not have before. Use self-pacing and don't overdo it. If discomfort in the head is chronic and unaffected by changes in practices, seek medical advice.
In a week or two we will get into dynamic jalandhara, which will put everything from the heart to the head in high gear. So hang on to your hat.
On the combined padmasana/siddhasana prosthetic approach, I have not tried that for any length of time. Since this is science (seeking the best applications of knowledge), and you thought of it, why not give it a try and see how it goes for you? Obviously, you will want to gauge it so as not to overdo the energy flows.
I wish you all success.
The guru is in you.

Hi microcosm,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. Through the years I had beautiful blue experiences, like yours they sometimes came with a kind of unlocking body parts.
I see it at this moment as opening up to the infinite. It was for me helpful to write experiences in a journal. The writing gave me further insights, and I had to express them somewhere.
One day I burned ritually my journals, they felt like luggage I carried around. It was time to stay open and relax in the not knowing. And also that was a beautiful blissful experience.

It's weird. The ancient yogis apparently used to have fantastic fractal visions all the time during meditation. But it's almost unheard of these days unless the person describing it is high on shrooms or lsd lol. Personally speaking, though, I've never experienced what you have without some psychadelic assistance.
