Something incredible happened in my life

I'm definitely not interested, as I'm more of a peace & tranquillity guy than high energy guy. I don't aspire such experiences as you mentioned. I sometimes astral travel though. I don't actually try to do it, it just happens several times a year. (I had practised some techniques, and it granted me that ability but it has been far less frequent in the recent years.) As a materialist, I see it as an advanced type of dreaming. Like your psyche is disconnected and you're "living" a dream. The difference is, you're fully conscious, reasonable and in control. Only the settings and some of your visions can be bizarre or very scarcely scary. Like you did, I don't want to "encourage" people to try that. Conversely, I urge people to do the research and decide for themselves. I don't want to sound ominous but I see it as a possibility to be like the K-Pax guy. Think you went some alien place, but actually lost your mind.

I'm happy for you, and hoping that it is not a vitality consuming practice. Have you any information about the people who were/have been in this for a long time? 

Anyway I'm not interested but it was an interesting read, thank you.

It has been a (very) long time since i wrote on PA forums. I’ve something i’m burning to share but i had to wait for a while before i can tell my story, to make sure about it. Now it’s time and it’s something not easy to explain. Ok, i’ll try to make it short. So sit confortably and take your time to read my story. It happened three months ago, in late August.

First i must explain that i’ve always been interested in various domains such as psychology (recently the Janov’s Primal theory), esoterism, spirituality, mysticism and so on.
In the recent years, i read a lot about indian spirituality and own several books from indian masters. For about ten years, i’ve been following Sadghuru, and indian « guru » who is giving a lot of teachings, freely over Internet.
I was hooked from the very begining and watched a lot of his videos over the years. I was agreing intelectualy with its speech but i didn’t tried to practice what he was preaching.

Until late August.

In August, i came accross several videos about a certain meditation technique, called « Shambhavi mudra ». It’s actually a 5000 years old « Kriya Yoga » practice. This kind of Yoga has nothing to do with the denatured Yoga practiced in the West, which is more about fitness with a hint of breathing and meditation. So forget all your pre-conceptions about Yoga.
Let’s go back to the facts. So one day, after work, i decided to try this meditation technique (i had no experience in meditation, just a little guided relaxation & sophrology). Let’s precise that i wasn’t expecting anything special and was just curious.
So i did the meditation exercise for only 5 or 7 minutes. Just after i was feeling nicely relaxed and it was promising.
But the real experience beggined the next morning. I live in the countryside in the southwest of Paris and i’ve a long bus travel every morning to reach the train station.
So i sat in the bus as usual and once i was properly installed, i looked at the view as i do every morning. Then the shock happened. I realized that the sunlight was totally different and that i was feeling extremely well. The sky was like a drawing. I instantly realized that it was the after effects of the previous day meditation. This pleasant state lasted the whole day so i was very exited when back home and was looking forward to try again « Shambhavi mudra ».
So i did it again and longer, (21 minutes session) and the after-effects got stronger and stronger in the next few days until a « climax », a state of bliss & extasy which is hard to describe.
Sometimes, i was so overwhelmed by joy and bliss, that tears came out and also laughters. Before, i was very much into pot smoking and i also did a lot of so-called « psychedelic » (natural) drugs such as mushrooms, cacti and other seeds so i’ve been through a lot of «altered » states many many times for decades. Hence my name on the forum.

The state of extasy induced by this meditation can be compared, in a way, to cannabis or mushrooms but is much more deep and powerful on another hand. Drugs are actually a poor copy of these effects but it can give you an idea.

I must also precise that the bliss state lasts the whole day after the meditation.
Like if you pop a lsd pill that would act for hours and hours. But it’s something that you can control, it’s there but when you need to work or to concentrate on something, its stays at the background.
Moreover, what’s incredible is that one is in full possession of its capacities, like never. And that’s a huge difference with drugs.


So how does it works ? There are many aspects but one of them is the pineal gland’s secretions through the sixth chakra stimulation.

Once the pineal gland begins to produce various chemicals in the system, everything is changing in the brain and the whole body, hence the tremendous effects.
The numerous effects are both physical & psychological, such as incredible energy, reduced sleep quota needed, addictions such as alcohol and pot smoking that i was suffering from for decades vanished in several weeks…and also an inner strenght towards life, no fear of dying.
So now i’m more & more into « spirituality » (sorry if it sounds pretentious), following more & more Sadghuru’s advices to get higher & higher. For example, i changed my diet and turn almost vegetarian now.
What's spirituality actually? It is to experience a dimension beyond the body & the mind.

It has been an incredible change in my life, something i wasn’t expecting to be possible but that i was longing to at the same time. The greatest gift i received in my whole life.

I’m not here to convert anyone but just to share my experience. It'll not work for everybody but it can work for a lot of people. Only thing required is the desire to experience another dimension of life.

That’s all for today…Namaskaram to you all!
