For the past few times, I'm getting visions or images of things, flashing through my mind when I'm in a deepish meditation trance.
I was wondering if this is normal or extra-ordinary when doing meditation work.
These images aren't within my concious grasp and I liken them to dreaming.
I'm still aware of where I am, and what I'm at, but in stead of mediatating I think I'm just drowsing, just ready to drop off.
Having not had much experience with meditation, I don't really know what to expect, I do realise that every persons experiences are different, but I think that there is a common denominator of experience that ppl could say 'this is what is supposed to happen'.
I've had this experience of 'visions' when I'm having any type of healing work done on me as well.
I reckon that these images are in themselves harmless, but are also part of the healing work being enacted.
Any suggestions iideas would be much appreciated.

Happy trails.

Jaguar,

It depends, to a point, on what sort of meditation you're doing.

In a number of traditions, the presence of visions is viewed as a distraction. They're to be noted but not dwelt upon.

You might see if there's a qualified teacher in your area.

Since you are beginning, it might be helpful to you to keep a journal similar to a dream journal. that way, you cn read back through your experiences and see for yourself what it all has meant.

Also, if you are an earth person, it would be natural for you to see things as what you call visions. You manner of thinking involves seeing.
