In Roy's book "How Your Mind Can Keep You Well", there's a passage about what we might expect from meditation.
Have any of you experienced the following from the meditation and if so, do they only happen in the beginning or are these things experienced after years of meditating?
1. The meditation causes chemical changes within the body as poisons are expelled. You may experience a cold that lingers as poisonous substances are ejected. You may notice a change in bowel habits and other bodily functions.
8. At times you may feel as though you were wearing a tight skullcap on your head. You may feel your face tightening up as the lax muscles contract, revealing the presence of inner discipline and love.
17. You may experience strange sensations in different parts of your body as healing takes place. Different stages of development create different individual experiences too numerous to catalog here.
There's a list of 19 things mentioned in this section (beginning on page 41) so I've only listed three of them. Have you experienced things similar to the ones above? In the beginning, when I first read this book, I thought this sounded a little scary. Did you feel the same way--as though you were delving into something that you should shy away from? When I first started listening to Roy Masters and purchased the book and tape, I was a little wary of it.
