Hello!!
I was curious to talk with others a bit about the feelings/sensations you all experience during meditations. I know Master Lin has a list of things people might feel, such as wind blowing, hearing strange noises, smelling lotus flower, tingling in fingers.
One thing that tends to happen to me is that I seem to be unable to keep my eyes closed. Especially my right eye wants to open a little and let in whatever light is around. It tends to want to squint a little, and then it'll suddenly fly open. Once the right eye does this, the left eye will sometimes follow suit. It's a bit strange!
I'm wondering if anyone else has something like this happen? I'm not sure if I should then keep my eyes open, or just close them again. I've tried both, but not sure which might be better on the good-better-best scale. This happens more when I'm doing active exercises than the sitting meditations. It spooks me a little.
I would appreciate any comments about this. Also, I would love to hear other people chime in about what sensations they experience. The first month I was practicing I'd get this great firework show behind my eyes. That stopped and hasn't returned, much to my disappointment, as it was really fun to watch!
What do you feel when you practice?
Thanks!!
Cawwie
