Anyways, my discomfort kept me awake and I thought it would be the perfect time to practice meditation and try to meet my spirit guide(s). I kept my breathing steady, I relaxed my whole body, and I tried to ignore the chatter of my ego. It was a very difficult effort, but it paid off because instead of seeing the back of my eyelids like I normally do, I began to see a cloud of purple It became sharper and brighter as I began to focus on the color. Then it began swirl around, kind of like those screen savers that change shape and colors. I was so excited but my ego began to take over and I began telling myself I was just seeing things because it was late. As soon as I had begun to accept these thoughts, the beautiful purple color changed into an olive green color which was not as pleasant. Then I reactively began to instruct myself to relax again and trust the process. Once I did so, it turned back into the gorgeous and relaxing purple.
In retrospect I wonder if it was actually my spirit guide talking me through the refocusing of the meditation. . .
Before last night I never really understood what people meant when they said they saw things during meditation. I just couldn't fathom seeing a vivid field of lavender or walking in a garden type area. However, when I began to see the color purple...(more like a bluish purple really), I gained just a bit more clarity when it comes to using the third eye. I am so excited to have made another step toward enlightenment!
Has anyone else seen what I have described? If so, please share!
