A very helpful insight into how taking it slowly can potentially save sanity! Many thanks for sharing your remarkable experiences. 🌈🐞

[@truthisall1592]

This is the value and importance of having a Guru. I recall the story of someone having an out of body experience during meditation. He suddenly became very fearful because he was unable to re-enter his body. He started to cry out to Baba, and Baba immediately appeared to 'flip' him back into his body. Sai Ram 💞🙏

[@diddybopper2052]

Great video Ben… I had a smidgen of this feeling after Mother Meera, I felt like it was an inner ‘demon’ or darkness that was trying to drag me down. I thought I was going to go mad in the board room at work in front of everyone.

[@omtapas]

Your experience is 100% genuine; the Initiation and Insight into your Spiritual Path❤ The Void experience is the Void before the path that allows you to bow in front of the Lord, the Big Light. Your honesty will bring you there. The interpreter thinking that you are at the edge, that you can't control, etc... he is not real! Surrender is the key at that stage and you definitely are on the Path for the Highest State of Realisation. Sathya Sai Baba will take care of you. Drop the witness and you are Home, but don't try to own Home otherwise you are back as a witness. Bravo! Qualified so see the Lord of Love

[@ashlabs3988]

Thank you so much for the sharing of your inner experience 🙏! It really helps me understanding certain sensations which made me doubt myself. I can now see the path ahead due to your video. Thank you so much 🙏🙏

[@RayOfLight591]

Fascinating experience! Thank you for honestly sharing your story. You are a brave soul in many ways. You mentioned wishing for a similar consciousness expansion in the future. What would you do differently, if anything, next time you find yourself at the very edge? I think your answer might be helpful to many.

[@sadieals]

Fascinating.

[@LauraBarrettS0OG]

Good morning Ben, thank you for sharing your insight. 🙏🏻✨✨

[@isharadissanayaka280]

That was incredible. Thank you for sharing 💖

[@rebeccabile5954]

I recognise that as astral projection you experienced. I also jolted when coming back to my body :P

[@JustVibingFullStop]

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting stuff! 🙏 Sounds like you had a kundalini activation or awakening. The symptoms you had correlates, at least to some extent. Also, sounds like you were astral projecting a whole lot. Kundalini awakenings can trigger that ability. Also, what someone else commented. The numbness could be a form of sleep paralysis. Usually one practice astral projection in bed, and sleep paralysis is a state that some people experience before astral projection occurs. And, seeing a stereotypical demon, might have been a visual representation of your subconscious fears, like a hypnagogic hallucination(you also get them before astral projecting). Just my two cents.

[@theheroaccounts2634]

Thank you for sharing the feeling of Numbness and energy flow feeling inside the body. I am doing meditating only for about a bit more then 2 years and for at least one year i do have also, everytime i meditate, the numbness in arms and legs. So far as i interpreted it, its a kind of sleepparalysis and i welcome it. For then i know at which state of meditating i am currently in. I do am fully awake with my mind in that moments and can feel the peace in my mind then too. The tingling Energy flow, sometimes even vibrations are comforting feelings for me. Vibrations came in the last half year, never before that. But out of body experiences i did never had.(OBE). But two days ago it felt i would flow out of my body, more like the energy i do feel coursing through body felt like it was flowing outwards. Then moments or minutes later, while observing with my conciousness, what was happening i thought i heard something like a voice saying "hmmmm", that startled me and i felt like jolting back into the body fully again. So maybe this was almost an OBE will now be a part of my future Meditations. I am glad that you shared your experiences. Now i know what i can expect to come. Anyway i never felt uncomfortable. Even the part of not tracking time while meditating is something i allways experience when meditating. But then i mostly i meditate at least for 2- 8 hours. Meditating opened a whole new world for me, aswell it helped with concentrating and other things considering mental health. All in all Meditating is a good addition in my daily routine and i dont want to miss it anymore. Really looking forward to those OBE, if it will change my whole world view of understanding what souls are, what we humans are.

[@AbleHammer]

That was very interesting Ben! I’ll take your cautionary tale seriously 😳

[@stephanie_meows]

This is absolutely fascinating. I've never meditated in my life, but always hope that one day I'll find a way to just...give it a go. Really hope you can elaborate on the demon you saw, and your teacher's perspective on what occurred. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Very grateful.

[@Valken333]

Thanks for sharing Ben, your videos are very informative and authentic.

[@dreamcreate116]

My Higherself/Body are my gurus. I had a spontaneous K years ago without any spiritual practices and I was stopped from doing any lengthy or group meditations. When I attempted my head was shaken very strongly so I couldn't continue. There was no external shaking but indeed in my head there most certainly was. I was being warned and protested. I have seen others hospitalised after lengthy meditation retreats. We naturally over years experience more of who we are as the body adjusts to ascending frequencies.

[@amandabcnn]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@TammyOToole]

What did your teacher say when you were finally able to discuss your experience with him? I'd really love to know. Thank you for your knowledge and for sharing your gifts!!! 🙏🏼

[@CatD66]

Thank you for sharing this Ben. Will you be doing a video about why it happened/what was actually happening and why you saw a demon and what the demon is? I'm very interested in what your teacher told you about it. Many thanks. 🙏

[@JustForGlory]

Good morning Ben, I really enjoyed your video on Avatars-thank you for sharing your insights. I strive to follow a spiritual path myself, but I believe it’s important to be discerning when choosing gurus and spiritual teachers. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on a couple of questions, as the answers are not always easy to find. I looked into Sai Baba, and the first thing I came across was footage of him performing what seemed like simple magic tricks. Could you share your perspective on this? Would an Avatar engage in such acts to impress people? Additionally, I’m curious about Mother Meera and her marriage. Is it possible for an Avatar to marry a human? Thank you in advance for your time and wisdom-I truly appreciate it.

[@madeleinecunningham6782]

Who is your Spiritual teacher now Ben ?

[@Black-dog-likes-walks]

I’d like to know what your teachers interpretation of this experience was

[@Specklesss]

Thanks for sharing! How you were observing these sensations during meditation. Was it like a third person perspective where you weren't identified with them? Like simply being the passive observer? I have had sensations like this happen during meditation, and again quite early on when I thought I shouldn't be getting this deep this quickly, but the sensations then distract me and pull me out of focus and get me back into identifying with my senses and self. Thanks!

My max time is 0ne hour and no more

[@laughheal8150]

Sounds to me like you got to the barrier.. and didn't push farther because of the pressure and fear. 🤷‍♂ This is common and all breakthroughs require uncomfortable barriers (sometimes extreme) to be broken. You cannot be unmade, not even by the unknown or it would have happened and you already would not BE right now. 🙏❤

[@Mcgif21]

I’m guessing you pushed past the barrier?

[@mooskamoo]

Not true, awakenings or breakthroughs can happen in all kinds of ways. Sometimes it is gentle and we can slip effortlessly into the awakening, it can vary between individuals and also at different stages of our evolution.
