Strange Experience While Meditating Outdoors.

2 posts in this topic

I wonder if anyone can help me understand a strange experience I had while meditating in a queue of traffic. I am new to all of this, so please forgive my naivety. I really appreciate having the opportunity to be able to ask a question like this on a forum like this. I have been meditating daily for 8 months only (at home, first thing in the morning). It's a cliche, but it has changed my life, my attitude to 'myself' and also towards others. All good so far. I also like to use Leo's "Mindfulness (see / hear / feel) Mediation" technique when I'm outdoors, sometimes sitting at a traffic light. Usually I'm noticing nature: grass, trees, sky. This one time I was sitting in a long traffic queue that wasn't going anywhere so I thought I'd take the opportunity to meditate for a few minutes and I had the strangest experience. The only way I can describe it is to say that I was above the town where I live. I don't mean I was thinking about it, imagining what it would be like to be up in the sky above the town where I live, but I WAS up in the sky above the traffic, above the whole town, like really high up. It didn't alarm me either, I was just curious about it. It was pretty cool but didn't last very long and I certainly didn't understand it. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before. ( I didn't doze off either. I was totally awake. I don't drink or do drugs and never have). It was exciting. I'm intrigued. Usually my meditation is a mixture of thinking, noticing I'm thinking, being present for a while, occasional insights and more thinking. So I wondered if anyone else has weird experiences of this nature while meditating. Cheers.
