So I've never really talked about my experiences during meditations - and I'm curious if anyone has had similar happenings. The first time I ever really delved into meditation I had no idea things like this could happen. I was doing a simple 61 point relaxation technique - and when focusing on my third eye chakra a bright purple light appeared and opened up in the shape of a butterfly. I just acknowledged the experience, accepted, and continued my meditation. Nearing the end (I believe I was there for about an hour) I had a bright white flash come swiftly across me - then out of the complete darkness I saw the face of Shiva (just the head). Now, at that time I had no idea who Shiva even was or what he looked like...but, I just knew it was "Shiva". I wish I had the words to describe how amazing this was for me. A complete stillness filled me. His skin was the creamiest grey/blue - and, now here's the strange part, his eyes were dark pits and smoke was slowly pouring out of them. Smoke was also seeping out of his slightly opened mouth. Within moments - he just faded away.
After finishing my meditation I got on my computer and googled "Shiva"...and lo and behold - there he was! It was a truly wonderful experience - and I haven't had anything like it happen again (except for what I believe to have been a kundalini awakening - which, was amazing). I still don't understand the smoke - but, I do understand I felt peaceful so it couldn't have been bad.
Anyone have a similar experience they would like to share?? Or perhaps just input to help me understand my own experience. Any feedback would be appreciated!
