Just thought I would share.
Earlier I had a bit of a meditative nap. After 10 hrs of sleep last night, seems I drifted off for another hour at least.
Anyway, just before I had an interesting experience I thought I would share.
Essentially, I was listening to music when my attention was pulled in a specific direction. Just then a tone came through and I saw what can only be described as a small ping pong ball of white and rainbow light shoot from the right side of my frontal lobe to the other. At the same instant, as if I was standing say on the corpus collosum, a second ping pong ball of light shot behind or in the occipital lobe from the left to to the right. I could 'see' both at once although seemingly pointed forward in the 'dark'. If that makes sense.
It was completely jarring and lasted for but a split second. The 'light' was created by both the tone and the instant type 'startle response' from myself.
I was under the impression that the brain is in complete darkness within the casing of the skull.
I had asked some months earlier having noted something similar when I sprained my ankle many years ago, with a flash of light which accompanied the pain.
I was wondering if anyone else had noticed light response within the brain with any type of 'startle' response while meditating?
Eyes closed of course.
I hope this makes sense.
