Fast heartbeat and meditation

edited September 2011 in Buddhism Basics
I've read some descriptions about meditation. I've focused on the breath for a few months when I decided to meditate for a few minutes. A made mental notes to be aware of all sorts of bodily sensations throughout my day. Recently I moved from the breath to the whole body in my little "sessions".

The last three days ago I dropped all "techniques" and just try to investigate where "I" was, acknowledging everything that wasn't me from a 3rd person perspective if that makes sense. I've also had my most powerful experiences I had in one year of exploration.

Yesterday I had the same feeling I had experienced before which I can only describe as a colorless vibrant flow in full force (i know there are thousands of descriptions of probably the same phenomenon, but I wanted to use my own words as silly as it might sound).

My heartbeat started to go very very fast until I stopped eventually. Is this very very fast heartbeat normal?Indicative of anything?

  • I also experience a few strange bodily "vibrations" and/or heat migrating during and post meditation as well. They are usually around my head region but sometimes they are in other places as well. i try to observe it as one of perception and not giving it too much analysis or projections. Any other idea and technique I should use?
  • Yeah that's what I've been doing. I noticed a noticeable shift in how I seem to perceive/feel today and have been not paying too much attention to the mind. I also noticed my pupils are a lot bigger.
  • Damn, that's not the first, nor even the second song in two days with lyrics that make my mind think it knows what it's talking about....if that makes sense lol.
