I have been practicing to induce a deeper level of consciousness and recently I started having a strange sensation where my body feels strangely large, bloated and expanded.
I have no sensation of my body itself but it feels like.... a balloon. My consciousness is this small dot or sometimes a thin line down my "ballooning" body. It feels most odd.
I feel that this sensation might be of some significance, yet I cannot seem to go anywhere else from there. My goal is to completely shed all body and sensory awareness, yet I am still aware of my breathing during all of this - which is annoying.
Where do I go from here? Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I am on the edge of something, but I not know how to proceed from here...
Thanks for your time.
you are doing fine those sensations are normal. just keep practicing and be patient ;)
The symptoms you are experiencing are the sign that your consciousness has reflected into your expanding etheric body.
You are one step away from generating and projecting the real time double.
All you need to do from that point is a projection technique that externalises your sense of body awareness, until you trigger what Robert Bruce calls the projection reflex.
I recommend practicing your trance meditation until you can hold that level of trance for long periods without it breaking. The more stable your trance the better.
I have had this happen to me countless times all through my life, and in every day situations, like reading, or at work, i notice it happens when i focus deeply a lot, it feels like im small and large at the same time, every thing looks small, even the way i visualise and imagine is changed, its very trippy.
