Why does my body feel strange when I meditate?.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

“Sometimes when I meditate I experience a feeling of “growing” really big and tall, like I’m filling up the whole room or sitting just below the ceiling. 

Sometimes I also feel like I’m leaning as much as 45 degrees to the right but my body really is straight up. 

What’s happening when I get these strange feelings?”

My Response:

These experiences are quite common in meditators. 

As awareness becomes more refined and abstract, it is as if the spatial boundaries and orientation of the body can feel distended or distorted. 

So we might feel very tall or massive or tilted or turned. 

Sometimes people report that their body feels incredibly dense and foreign to them. 

These are all normal meditation sensations as a consequence of the mind experiencing subtler realms of thought.

Love,

Deepak
