electric shock sensation during meditation

[audyn]

hi all!

about a year ago i began meditating with hemi-sync CD's (monroe products, specifically). during one meditation, at night, i was deeply relaxed - unaware of my physical body when suddenly i felt what can only be described as a bolt of energy/electricity entering the very top of my head.

physically, i felt the energy flow through my entire body which gave me the sensation of vibrating. and although my eyes were shut at the time and it was pitch black outside without external interferance, i was able to see through my eyelids and see my entire bedroom through a series of strobe-like bursts of light eminating from... everywhere? in addition to this, i also heard static (as if a TV suddenly came on at full blast on a channel with no reception). the static seemed to be coming from inside my head, though - not externally.

this literally shocked (scared) me out of my meditation, and i have not experienced this since. i also have not seen or heard anything that sounds similar to my experience.

does anyone know if there a name for what happened? what the significance of this experience is? what actually happened to me physically?

thanks in advance for your insights!

Your post is old so I hope you found the answer you were looking for between now and then and have had more experiences with it. I came across this at random and felt the need to create an account to comment on this. everyone that has commented on this is correct but no one was able to answer your question as to what it was "called". They described it in the technical/deep sense but simply put you began to experience an OBE (out of body experience) or AP (astral projection). You (your conscience, spirit, being) breached the physical barrier just as many of the old masters did. Hope this helped someone out there so they could look more into it using modern terminology to one day reconnect with One.
