Meditation experience - advice?

[YaMayka]

I am fairly new to meditation - I have been doing it only for a week, every day for 15-25 min in the evening, before sleep. I thought that would be a good start, plus I have very little time, so that's all I can squeeze in at the moment. I just close my eyes slightly, sit still, put some music/ocean sounds on and try not to think My thoughts usually are quite persistent though, so it goes better or worse. Then I try to concentrate on my body - like to move the energy all over my body, to spread it around, see what happens - that relaxes me, then I kind of try to focus my eyes on the darkness and watch it for a while, just observe - I get this feeling like I am in the centre of this huge dark universe. Yesterday I kind of noticed some kind of purple fibres in it and I focused on it more - the same way like you focus on these funny 3D pictures that at first look like noise but later when you look at it for a while and do it in a specific way you notice a three-dimensional figure - my vision shifted somehow and I transferred - I opened my eyes and I can't even describe it, the darkness felt different - it still had this purple fibre but it had a new dimension in it but was brighter and wider and I felt it with my whole body. I could experience it for a while, when I was focusing on it with this specific way and then it passed. Is that what it is supposed to be? It was very interesting. What was it?

Hmm - for all enthusiastic followers of this thread - a follow up: my strange experience (if it is strange, maybe that is common, I don't know) continues, yesterday my vision shifted again more in some orange/purple zigzag mandala like pattern (I wish I could paint it but it is so complex..!) - first it was just in front of my eyes, in front of my face, like a veil and then it moved away and started to move - like in a wavy motion - I opened my eyes completely by that time. It is like a dark like flat 3D wave - hard to describe. After some time my alarm buzzed and the veil immediately lifted - very weird feeling. Anyway. That's it. I thought meditation would be boring but it's actually fun and I keep looking forward to it.

@YaMayka You are psychic

You may be getting glimpses of the void or the astral plane/slight DMT release, are you laying down? do you experience any spinning or hovering bodily sensations?

Meditation is basically reconnecting and realigning self to a more natural, more authentic energy/state of being.

So basically you are becoming more of an expression of creation energy by surrendering to the natural state thus you create more effortlessly as there is little to no interface/distractions.

@pluto No, I am sitting straight - it is usually late, so I am afraid I would fall asleep if I laid down. My natural, authentic self is definitely more different than I expected I am not sure about my bodily experience - it is not spinning for sure, it feels a bit lighter, thinner maybe - I know it's there but it's less important, I was a bit afraid to move it to disturb the experience, I was operating the experience from the centre of the body - at least I thought I was.

Jesus, I am shaking.... For a moment I got scared I would not get out of it. I went really deep in this state! My room was like illuminated and my heart started to pound but I had a feeling like I was losing contact with my body, I started to tell myself to relax. I put the light on and shook of the feeling! I don’t know if I should continue  I need guidance but I know nobody. I did some research today and it looked a bit like my 3rd eye chakra might be opening? Could that be it? I did not even believe it... I did try to decalcify my pineal gland though for my migraines sake. I am freaked out - will do some more research tomorrow- anyone some advice?
