Question: When one is meditating and thinking of his oneness with his true self or seeking comunion with God, there occurs a particular kind of pain in the back at a specific location (e.g., middle of the spine). However, this subsides after the pratice of meditation is over in a few minutes.
Also a series of progressive colors (red-green-orange at times, at certain other times, violet-blue) are seen at the centre of the eyebrows. However, the breath isn’t perfectly controlled.
Could you please explain what these happenings imply – isn’t the practitioner on the right track or is he going away?
Answer: The pain may be due to not being habituated to sit in that position. So try to change your position of sitting and experiment.
Don’t give much importance to seeing colours, etc., so that your mind will be more interested in concentration than seeing these things.
