More meditation experiences

I have found that recently when I try to meditate, I hit a block right before my mind goes/stays completely blank for any extended period of time. Once I hit the right level of relaxation, I start hearing these odd snippets of voices and conversations. It sounds almost like I'm surfing through TV channels really quickly or tuning a radio. Has anyone else experienced this before and is it normal?

I know what you're talking about, sometimes I used to get a visual manifestation of a goblin type thing preventing me from flowing smoothly. Or sometimes like a weight holding you down, but those times I just had to take time to relax and get in a more comfy trance.

Would you mind explaining this a bit more? "A goblin type thing?" I'm trying to picture this and understand your experience...

Long-ish story involving a friend who practices metaphysics, imagine a thoughtform gone astray.

i've experienced both. theyre low-vibrational beings and voices of them. theyre also sometimes energy of other people doing things with energy. you can block them out with visualization practices. or listen to them. theyre not much worth listening to though. sometimes they're funny or they're just in the way of a deeper-relaxed meditation state. when they're in the way you can block em out
go you for tuning in though theres alot you can hear. even singing sometimes
you can contact higher vibrational beings who can help and guide you this way, including your higher self. there are beings of love who are willing to aid others on their spiritual journey

you can try visualizing an impenetrable pyramid of white light(like the suns light- its kinda white but with rainbows and blue/indigo inside). i often visualize a shining quartz pyramid encompassing my mind, then body, then my whole house/area. charge it up with energy from the sun or moon or your natural source of preference. if they still dont leave just psychically attack them lol theyll get the picture

or you can just ask the cloudy things to go away sometimes theyre willing to leave/not strong enough to stay there anyways. be creative ! after you tune in more you definitely get visuals like very clear visions bright as day and solid as if youre in a different place entirely.

Ah well.... that sounds like a good technique but it will take me a little while to get there. Right now it's an accomplishment to just keep my mind blank enough to hear this stuff.

For some reason, I have been thinking a lot about Anubis lately. I got this thrill of energy and goosebumps when I thought about Him so I decided to meditate on it. It was kind of odd, really... like a connection that made me feel very peaceful and protected. I had trouble after a little while though, because I got a weird image in my head of a man with these bright red/orange eyes looking at me with the deepest hatred imaginable. After that, the peace broke because it got me confused (and I think way too much when I'm confused or don't understand something).

Anyway... sometimes the images are hard to understand. Am I imagining things? Or are the pictures in your head just as legitimate as any other psychic feeling?

I have posted about this before but last night it happened again... someone called my name. This time it was a woman's voice and it was so loud that I jumped and my heart was racing. Sorry for the long response... just having a hard time making sense of this.

i will say this

everything is legitimate.

everything is possible. everything is real.

it is entirely up to you to tell yourself what you believe in... what you deem to be real...
however, if you tell yourself something is not real, you could be limiting yourself from reaching further by closing off that possibility.
id say, believe in positive things, because they will lead to positive experiences

it may sound fairy-tale ish, but all you have to do is believe.

imagination, thoughts, your mind, dreams...
are all gateways

every subtle thing you experience is a part of the whole
for an example; seeing energy/auras/etc
the very beginning steps are noticing the purple/blue/green shapes you see when you close your eyes or are in complete darkness
its all information
for you to compile to make up the whole
after you notice those... you can notice they aren't just random.. they follow a pattern; a fractal, making up a bigger image, making up geometric shapes and patterns, and those making up even more... which leads to an even bigger picture... seeing spirits.. energy.. etc... looking at a plant and seeing their energy moving through their leafy veins...
your imagination is just as important. i know it can feel like you might be going crazy at times- this is only because the common society has labelled these experiences as such- yet they are a part of our core being. they are naturally there. just as we have muscles in our arms and we need to exercise or else they'll start to go bad/not be strong, we have muscles in our brain and soul mass to exercise too...

you will know what youre ready for and what you would like to do with these experiences and what you like to refer to them as...

long story short, i'd say, no, you aren't imagining things. two or three times I saw an oldish looking man somewhat resembling a goblin or wizard trying to take energy away from me when I'd meditate at night time or in the evening. itd start as a black blob then if i continued to look where that blob was it would manifest into a mans face- with my eyes open or closed. i wouldnt let it fully manifest though cause i got bad vibes from it. i felt like if his image got any more clear, that he was making a connection to me, and i didnt want that. had to visualize some defensive maneuvers to get him to go away. but he did go away. I didn't imagine him to be there, he kindof just appeared. if the guy you saw just appeared out of nowhere, then no! you aren't imagining things lol you are just starting to exercise your minds eye to see things others don't normally see.

I noticed when positive entities come into my line of sight or speak to me, they are very very clear- no fuzziness or me trying to see them. its like a clear picture in my mind, and a very clear loud voice.
this is why i say the beings you are currently seeing are probably from lower dimensions- it takes them a while to try and manifest into our dimension because they must reach higher to contact us
beings on higher dimensions already conquered our level, so they can easily be heard and seen in our dimension. this is my own conclusion however, just sharing my own experiences.

don't question yourself. doubt is your biggest enemy when it comes to the metaphysical.
positive vibes bring positive encounters

Demonia, I love what you said about the positive entities bit, I really resonated with that, its like when you're manually tuning a radio, then it goes to a crystal clear signal.

On a random side note, apparently there's a red level earthquake warning all over Iceland. Has anyone noticed that in any manifestation? Whether through emotional impulse or meditative visions, has anyone just felt something kind of 'off'?

Yes you always have good advice and it was helpful I really appreciate it.
I think I doubted myself in this case because my first thought when I saw him was... Seth...
But then, that wouldn't make much sense... why would Seth have any interest in me? Plus, that would be a pretty big claim for me to make... so I was worried that flights of fancy/ego were getting in the way... I will have to meditate on the experience some more to get direction.
I do feel like something... or someone... is aware of how drained I've been lately and is surrounding/protecting me... or at least trying to.
Weird things are happening... for example, I'm feeling a lot more predatory than ever before. It feels almost like I'm really hungry all the time, but when I stop to get a sense for how my body is feeling, I'll realize that I'm really not craving actual food but to psychically (and viciously) attack someone... it's a bit scary and I think I always doubt myself because I don't want to claim to be anything/anyone that I'm not. Energy-wise, I feel famished and every day I have that increasing urge. But I don't really understand any of it. Like I said, more meditation so I can avoid the illusions of ego...
Staplerain, I have felt something is "off" for a long while now. Not really in relation to what's going on in Iceland, but I do think my feelings were partially because of the Ebola outbreak and maybe more things to come. When I really pay attention to that feeling, it turns into dread, like something bad is going to happen. The world is in chaos.

Don;t worry about ebola, its over-hyped to shit, apparently eating decent amounts of vitamin c can pretty much cure you from it. I am worried that my auto-correct capatilised it though...

Seth is one aspect of a large whole that is the Egyptian pantheon. It just so happens that he happens to be vilified in a lot of stories, raping and pillaging and such. But nothing is objectively good/evil, I'm sure Seth isn't bad in small doses.

I understand what you are getting at... although my negative impression of Seth wasn't helped by the fact that the image I got was of him giving me a look that made me think I was in danger for a moment.

Ah well. I'm still learning as well as interpreting that experience...

As for the ebola... it's hard for me not to worry. I am the HUGEST germophobe ever and the concept of a disease that makes you bleed from orifices makes my skin crawl. lol

Then the fear campaign is doing its job :/

Yeah it's scary how easily the government can work the public into a frenzy....
