When the lights go out, especially when meditating, I get this sense of fear.  Strong fear.  It's very hard to ignore.  The biggest fear, which would drive me into absolute gibbering insanity were it to occur, would be to turn around and see, right in front of me, something too scary for words to describe, a hideous face right in front of me, leering with red eyes, out of nowhere in the dark.  I'm so afraid that I have to close my eyes, and then I'm so sure something is right in front of me I'm afraid to reopen them, yet when I do there's nothing, except the fear is still there.  I don't know if it's in my mind, or what.  I sometimes burn herbs, sage rosemary lavender and such, but they don't help a lot.  All that does help is turning on the lights.

I would appreciate any advice, any at all.  Thanks tons.

I always have tons of physical energy when I'm done doing energy work, and find that at that time my body is begging for a real good stretch.  I would suggest to everyone that, keeping personal limitations and injuries in mind, when you're done doing energy work, do a bunch of good stretches for almost every part of your body, legs, lower and upper back, abdomen and chest, neck, arms, whatever feels right.  It's a great way to end a meditation.
