Cannot Feel My Body When I Meditate

[growthaboveall]

[about me: been meditating on/off for 2 years, seriously/daily (40mins+) in last 3 months]

Before I used to do "do nothing" or focus on breathing,

Now I started the "Ego Destruction" that Leo Talks about

Asking "why am I?" "who is observing my thoughts/sight/hearing?" "am I a physical thing" and focusing on things happening RIGHT NOW

after 5-10 mins of asking those questions

I CANT FEEL MY BODY

I CANT MOVE MY ARMS

I CAN STAY STILL FOR LONG TIME

today I did  30 minutes but IT FELT LIKE 5 MINUTES

THOUGHTS KEEP LOOPING AND IM WATHING THEM

 

ANYDONE HAD SIMILIAR EXPERIENCE?

@growthaboveall This very normal, don't freak out, you're not going crazy. You are purifying your consciousness. Just keep the practice.

whatever comes and goes into and out of your experience is not you

i think it helps a lot to have curiosity. what remais? what does not come nor goes in your direct experience?

As soon as I bumped meditation up to around the 1 hour mark regularly some very interesting things begin to be noted, not being able to identify the physical body is quite natural and in my opinion a progression.

What becomes more interesting is when you hit the "next" level and start observing what I call the cosmic room, or otherwise you notice yourself as spaciousness. Then you will become aware of the body, but it will no longer be the body it will be a bunch of sensations you have labeled as "physical:touch". You will then notice how these sensations move within the space, and start getting a sense of movement very much like bullet time in the matrix. If you move your hand it will seem more like a flow from one point to another, with a thousand steps between, each with a unique sensation.

Don't freak out about it, enjoy it thoroughly. The body is still there I assure you, as long as you believe that when you open your eyes the body will be there that is what will be. So there is no danger in the lack of sensation, or being able to differentiate one part of the body from the other.
