Confused about what occurred

[Juliet]

Hello everyone!

I am new to most of these topics.  In the past I have been able to meditate but not become so relaxed that I enter a trance or a state of "being."  

Today, as I was shielding (this is my 2nd day of shielding), I could not really shield.  (When I shield, I sit in a chair with the tips of my middle fingers and thumbs touching lightly.)  When I started shielding I seemed to be doing fine with the construction and such.  But, for some reason, this morning when I began to shield I became extremely relaxed, not what's happened the other times. (I became so relaxed during this "session" that when I decided to open my eyes I couldn't keep them open.  It took 8 to 10 minutes to shake the effects.)  Back to the attempt at shielding ...  As I let my thoughts cease I reached a little black cocoon inside of me where I was just "being."  

At this time, I became aware of my third eye which did not tingle like it usually does.  This time it was more like an increase in pressure in the third eye area--kind of like instead of the tingles and pressure I've experienced for almost 3 months, I had more pressure there, as if replacing the tingly sensations.  Maybe, to compensate??  I don't know.  I also noticed the back parts of my hands did tingle--from the thumb and underside of the palm back to my wrist.

Shortly, I became aware of images in my mind's eye.  Some looked like creatures from a computer game but--I recalled later this evening--I also saw countryside, a busy place with cars and people in a flurry of activity; I think people shopping.  Then, I'd see the real fast movements of what I think looked like the computer characters again.  It went back and forth frequently for a few minutes. (I wish I had had my tape recorder on so I could have taped it but I was so relaxed I doubt I could have spoken anyway.)

Then, I stopped the images and tried to focus on my shield again.  I still remained in that calm, relaxed state of "being" and was unable to shield--at least I don't think I was doing anything relating to shielding.  The feeling was peaceful.  I felt my third eye become more and more "aware."  Then, behind my shoulder to my right, I heard a humming, like a meditative hum coming from a person.  Nobody was in the room with me.  I made sure it could not have been anything around the house after the "session" like the TV or radio.  Everything was fine in the house.  A few minutes later I opened my eyes.  I had trouble keeping them open because I felt so sleepy and relaxed.  I've never experienced this before.

Can anyone help me with this??  Did I do something wrong?  What is it I did?  Can anybody explain this to me?  I have been doing things in the past 2 months that I don't know I do at times and don't have any conscious knowledge of how to do them.  I am trying to understand what is going on with me.  I've been able to manipulate energy to connect telepathically but I didn't realize what I was doing, how, or why.  Please, help me understand this somebody.  I'm not scared.  I'm confused and feel I need to know what I am doing, why if possible, and learn how to control it.  Any ideas, suggestions, advice, or comments--even referrals to websites or a book would help me.

Thanks!

Love and Light,

Juliet

It sounds like your imagination is wandering... one way I've heard of clearing your mind is imagining water or light washing them away, or chucking them in an imaginary closet and all that. The problem there would be of course dwelling on the closet instead of ignoring it.
