Sounds to me like the sensations you are feeling are the beginnings of the trance state.
Your hands are going to 'sleep'.
Is the 'focus' that you are speaking onf the Focus 10 State? If so then you are starting to acheive that state. IF you continue to relax and let your body go to 'sleep' you winn notice a stage when your hwole body get very heavy, starts to go numb, and then the sensations drop off suddenly.
If you get to this state and your mind is still awake and aware, -- that is the Focus 10 state.

Hi Brian,
I also started with meditations about 40 days ago - and at the beginning I had also feeling like I dont feel my hands
- now I can bring myself to the state where I cannot feel my whole body, BUT I have also one question - am I supposed to hear something or not?
also u can try Brainwave Generator - u can find shareware version on internet - then generate wav files, burn on the CD (do not do mp3 files from them cause some mp3 codecs mix left and right channels - then u will feel no effect) and listen - it really helped me a lot at the beginning - but now I am trying to meditate without it
wish u a lot of success

when i meditate i dont feel like im there[xx(][|)]
i always feel when my hands 'go numb' that it's actually my awareness expanding so much that i don't feel my hands anymore, but what's all around them. keep that in mind the next time it happens, and when you do finally reach the full body trance.
pink floyd wrote some lyrics that remind me of trance evertime i hear them. there is one part in particular that says something about 'my hands felt like two big balloons'. i believe they are making reference to something similar to the trance state. i say similar because i think in the song they are making reference to how it feels when you use heroin. though i believe then when you use any substance that relaxes you like heroin is supposed to that you enter into the same trance state and maybe even some of the other consciousness states. those experiences may be tainted though because of the drug.

Are you sure about the mp3 problem?
I got a copy of BWgen and then used musicmatch to convert them to mp3, at 182bits to make sure the quality is ok.
I have never really got any results from them though, but I thought this was because of my own lack of progress.
perhaps though it IS because of the mp3 conversion.
If i listen to both L and R channels of the output there is a difference in tone so I thought it would be ok. However, if as you say there is a mixing of channels then I will have to use something else!

I've also noticed strange sensations in my hands in meditation.
Many moons ago I used to meditate a lot with all my fingertips joined, (left hand to right), and feeling each fingertip in repeated sequence, while focusing on the brow chakra. The oddest thing would happen--if I kept at it, eventually it felt as if my hands had become "giant" and my head was encapsulated within them! It was so odd to me then, that I would grin and sometimes feel on the verge of giggles. Nowadays I haven't had a repetition of that same sensation. Anybody had this or know anything about what that sort of thing indicates?
