Mirror stare and I fade to light

[Matmilew]

   Literally just as the title of this subject.  I stare into my own eyes in my mirror and everything slowly fades to a warm glow of light with the exception of my eyes which are still smiling right back at me.  I've done this in the past but lost touch and have just recently stumbled upon it again and done so for the past three nights but not for long when I attempt it, although I can find the light again.   I am intrigued but just as, if not more, confused as to what I am doing and how to do it longer and maintain that state.

    Any one that can help me figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Be Well,

Matmilew

@Matmilew That's pretty cool. Do you feel that you are light or are you watching yourself in the mirror as light? 

Is the light a object in your perception? Something you can see with your eyes?

I have had similar experiences but yours, from what you desribe, seems more vivid.

It's a pretty cool experience isn't it?  I actually am watching myself and my surroundings turn to light and the more I smile with my eyes the more vivid the light becomes.   What do you take from these experiences?  Have you heard of this before?   Wish you well in your future attempts.

It's your vision that is adapting to constant stimuli. Your senses can only measure changes in stimuli: it's dualistic and relativistic that way. Keeping your vision focused on one point without moving will make the colours fade to white. That tends to happen during open-eyed meditation. It's the same reason why you don't really feel the sensations of your ass when you've been sitting for a little while.

I'm really not sure dude. @Carl-Richard might have it. My first thought is that you are somehow manipulating your counciousness/perception. Does your thinking change it or influence it in some way?
