am i doing it right?

[Angelmist]

I got into meditating 1 week ago, I had sleeping problems and one of my friends told me that meditating can help.
When I started meditating I concenstrated on my breathing and when my mind "went for a walk" I brought myself back to breathing.

But now when I start to meditate I concentrate on my breathing and after a while my mind goes blank and I dont concentrate on anything I'm just there thinking of nothing and after that I feel like my head is in a magnetic field. Sometimes I feel like my head is bouncing from right to left or back to forward. And one time I felt like my body is spinning.

Is this normal or do I have to force myself to concentrate on something?

Good that you have started feeling.These days we are busy only in thinking.This suggests that you are on right path:gradually coming down from thinking center(mind)to feeling center(heart).All those strange things happening to you are happening only in your mind!!!!!!!Just be there and trust nature.Nothing,nothing will ever happen to you.You do feel abnormal sometimes because you have taken an about turn on the path:instead of going away from yourself as you have always been doing since childhood,you are now coming back to yourself.But no cause for panic.

I would suggest you to start chanting AUM whenever you find time(like while rravelling alone).During meditation too it will be better to leave your technique and begin reciting AUM.This is original sound,permeating each cell of your body,and each partcle in the cosmos.Your journey to the Ultimate(which meditation is)will be easier,faster,more comfortable and enjoyable.Sound is directly connected to the Ultimate.Therefore it is easier to get connected there with sounds(that is why Chantng,prayers,music).Amongst the sound too AUM is special because it is everywhere.According to scriptures it is God only.

If you need further clarification,get back.Wish you all the best.

hello angel mist it sounds like your not grounding to me i used to have the same problem and what i feel is that while in that state of mind you are actualy having spirit close your doing great dont feel afraid your in control realy practice your grounding and protection its a must .

always before meditation go through the grounding .
sit in your chair doing your breathing tech when comferteble ground yourself im sure you know how to ground if not look on here theres loads of techniques once grounded place your protection around you then carry on the breathing say a preyer of thanks for whatever you feel but it has to be from your heart .thank your spirit guide for helping etc ask for your spirit guide to step forward if theres things you need guidence on you can also ask . and just sit in your zone of blankness and see what happens .
if at all you feel like you was like your taking off or spinning dont worry its spirit trying to aline with you as your new to this if you find yur arm twitche or any part of your body does the same its just the energy . if you feel uneasy with things you must tel the spirit to step back tell them whats happening they will not no you both have to learn from each other now your the one thats incontrol ok not them by the spiritual law they have to except that if your not ready they must step back and they will as there not there to cause you harm theres a saying i say all the time which is take it in pigeon stepps one step forward two stepps back go by this and you wont go wrong .
if at any time you feel like things are way to much no matter what you say try to imgine that you have a zip ubove your head on a cloak thats around you zip down from head to foot that is a protective cloak where spirit can not make you feel like that they will go you can imagine what the cloak does but to me turns me invisable like in harry potter spirit cant see you .
last thing your not closing down then either are you try this out imagine a big trap door ubove your head that you pull shut slam it shut you can put as many locks on it and slide the bolt so its locked . or imagine your putting a hat on your head and while your wearing this hat your closed off from spirit do the reverse to open yourself ok .

may the angels shower you with love and your path be one of happines .
