meditation paranormal experience

[maverick angel]

Hi
This is my first post on these wonderful forums. Recently, I had what I think was a small psychic experience. I was in my workshop one afternoon when a strong feeling came to me that an aquaintance had committed suicide. This person was not close to me, we hadn't spoken in ten years and didn't particularly like each other. Anyway, distractions of work took over and it went to the back of my mind. Two days later I received the news that he had taken his own life and that it had been on the same day and at the same time that I had had the thought. I am posting this here because this and other incidents have occured since I began to incorporate a new meditation into my kundalini yoga practice. This meditation is called Sodarshan Chakra Kriya. This
kriya has a serious reputation for the bestowing of gifts ect and based on my own experience it certainly does have some effect. Has anyone else tried it?

No I haven't tried it but I have had a very similar experience. I was folding t-shirts in a laundry business I owned. I picked up a black t-shirt and turned it right way out, there was a skull on the front made of sequins. I zoned out in to day dream land for a mo looking at the face and a voice or impression entered my mind and said. 'Mark is going to commit suicide.'
I immediately called him, and spoke to him for 20 mins, he sounded ok, a bit flat but not suicidal, I asked him if he was ok, he said yes, he was going to have a quiet weekend and that he's call me on Monday so I put if down to imagination and told him I'd see him next week. He jumped form his balcony window 30 minutes later and died instantly upon impact.

Interesting stories, and I have one to add, and although it's a bit less dramatic, I've never spoken to anyone about it until now, so here goes:

Haven't tried the particular type of meditation you mentioned, but during a period when I was meditating very deeply back in October 2002, I was suddenly woken just before 3am one morning (Melbourne, Australia) by a single brain-splitting crack of thunder that shook the living shit out of me and forced me bolt upright in bed.

The windows were rattling and I had a powerful sensation of dense steam pouring from the top of my head (crown chakra) for half a minute or so.

A bit amazed and disturbed, I got up and went outside and it was a clear, starry sky, not a cloud in sight.

When I returned to bed I wrote the experience in my diary, noting the time and adding that I had a growing feeling of dread, like something terrible had just happened (even referencing Obi Wan Kenobi's reaction when he sensed with The Force that the planet Alderaan had blown up in the movie Star Wars!).

Later that day the story of the Bali Bombings started to filter through in the media, and I learned that, accounting for the time difference, the bombs went off pretty much at the exact same moment this ominous phantom thunderbolt ripped through my mind some 14,000 kilometres away, marking something terrible that had just occurred.

Hi - I have been hoping to hear of others who have experienced these strange mental explosions. For me, it's like a gun going off into my ear - that's how loud it is. The last time it happened my spouse and I were in bed in a deep sleep. My spouse leaped up in a panic -

`I heard a gun go off!' - and ran to the window to look out. I said -
`No the explosion you heard was in MY HEAD'.
`But it sounded like it was right in this room! Are you sure it was in your head? It was so LOUD'.

These severe mental explosions have been happening to me for years, thankfully not very often because it is PAINFUL. But that was the first time someone else actually `heard' it. How can that be? What causes these mental explosions? I have always wondered about it.

Your experience with the Bali bombings reminds me of something that happened to me. I had a vivid dream where I was standing in a church with a huge stained glass window. The words 'I have triumph'(not great grammer but thats it) wrote themselves in light upon the glass. The glass then shattered as water burst through, the next thing the whole world was covered in water and everyone was floating clinging to wreckage. Two days later the tsunami occurred. I don't think I'm psychic or that I predicted it, but wonder could my subconcious have picked up some vibrations similar to the animals fled inland because they knew it was coming.

I remember the sound vividly, and funnily enough, writing about it now has made the crown of my head start to ache and itch a bit, which doesn't ever happen.

The sound I experienced was like a very sharp, splitting gunshot crack, but was then followed immediately by a deep, thundering, reverberating rumble.

Interesting that straight away you instinctively told your spouse that the sound was in your head, even though she heard it too.

Hopefully more people have had these experiences and will post their stories and theories.

Earth energies and disturbances in the magnetic field are said to effect human consciousness so it's very possible there's a link to what was happening with the tectonic plates and what you were dreaming.

Another good one.
