Hi Lynn-Marie,
Just proceed with your meditations.
- I remember once, having an experience in meditation that totally freaked me out in the same way you mention. I was being held up by this awful looking creature, defenseless, and this thing was about to take a big bite out of my private parts! It was so powerful, and I was so freaked and defenseless. I thought I had run into satan or some evil spirit. My teacher at this time, was very powerful, and could see what I saw. The funny thing, was that he told me, this creature was me. A part of me, not so pretty to confront.
I have learned two things... One, I am still here despite my meditation encounters with scarey stuff. Two: "Always", the troops come if you call for help. The light/lights come. This is a great thing to experience. Having said prayers, within a situation like this, and seeing light come to help you. I have found this to be consistent, although, you don't look for these types of experiences, or anticipate them. You stay in the present, always, and use your relationship with the master's energy, going into meditation, as Iam2 posted. You have all the power you need, at any time. In general, this is not ordinarily part of one's meditative experience, so again, don't anticipate this because of a past experience.
I would start with very focused meditation , like small universe. Smile and bring in light and positive intention from the start. No fears..
love,
