heat during meditation

[phoenix666]

it happens quite often that I feel general coldness or warmth during meditation. but today it was slightly different: it wasn't a general sensation or like a wave of goosebumps. it was more a concentrated point from wich it radiated to the whole body.

it all began with rather chaotic sensations which I could describe as energy. (I feel that quite often lately) and suddenly I felt like a single pointed, concentrated heat in my chest. it went on for a little more than two minutes, just getting more intense and spreading the heat in my whole body. I just tried to focus on my breath (doing awareness of breath meditation) but it didn't fade.

it already happened once or twice, but not as intense. and it was very clearly coming from my chest this time, right were the heart should be.

anyone having the same experience? what could this be? (just to have an idea: I have a daily hatha yoga, awareness and meditation practice. I will start a Kriya yoga practice in the next couple of weeks, really looking forward to it. so I don't have any personal experience with kundalini, chakras and stuff like that...yet.)

thank you and have a lovely day <3

It is THE DESCENDING EVOLUTIONARY ENERGY or THE POWER, its coming straight from THE-SOURCE and descends into our heads and purifies us from 'ego structure' with its energetic blockages

unlike what 99% of seekers think, its that evolutionary energy or the power that make us enlightened, not techniques

u only need to be open to and surrender to this energy through surrendering and heart-based sincere willingness to connect with god-the-source

its the most direct path to dissolve ego, your path will become much smoother and shorter, you will save years of techniques-based seeking, techniques are important to connect and you need to continue using them until first awakening when mind becomes meditative, but essentially the whole work is done by the energy, not techniques.

@Monkey-man thank you for your answer. ok, I was hoping for it to be something like that, I admit.  I wasn't afraid or anything, I actually found it kind of cool.

so what do I do when it arises again? shift my awareness on it instead of on the breath? surrender is something difficult to grasp with the mind...I always found it confusing. but when a certain amount of resistance has built up, I'm usually letting go naturally.

@phoenix666 don't focus on the energy itself, just let go and observe or be aware of presence as a whole, not one part of presence

@Monkey-man I'll try to do that when I get the chance again (hopefully)  thank you!

@Okaythen wow, that was quite some stuff you wrote there! thank you very much for your time and effort. took some time to read through everything but yeah, I don't want to overload my big ego with too much stuff simultaneously. specially since I began with my Kriya Yoga practice yesterday and I'd like to focus on that. there must be a reason Leo recommends it so strongly and I wanna find out 

I might try that tibetan inner fire meditation as it resonates with me most. let's see what time brings. thank you!
