That's so cool that you have tried to analyze different stages of meditation, Austin! I never thought of it. At least not conscously. But now that you've mentioned it - yes, there are indeed different stages in meditation.
Nr 1 is difficult to pass through when there is a lot going on in life, or when I'm too tired/hungry or similar. Usually I realize that pretty quickly when trying to meditate and give up shortly after. There is no point of trying harder when there is too much noise.
Nr 2 can be very useful, because it happens sometimes that when I reach this stage, I get either really awesome ideas or angles of problems in my life, which I haven't had before, or I remember something very important which I have completely forgot during waking life. It is of course impossible to continue meditating after receiving those ideas or solutions to problems in life, or just remembering something important which you forgot. But that's ok! I usually instantly jump out of the meditation and get to whatever it was I received in that meditation.
Nr 3 - Silence... Ah, that's when Creator speaks. It's so, so awesome... I feel like the energy is starting to flow through me, and I become lighter and lighter, both in the sense of weight and in the sense of light. There comes feelings of gratitude and connection to the Creator.
Then nr 4 - I'm not sure what or how exactly you mean... Transcendence or expansion... For me it flows into the silence stage, but perhaps there are different stages between just silence and then transcendence/expansion? Maybe silence is when your mind is quiet but you have not yet made the contact with the Creator? When you just sit silently outside the door and waiting for It. And then when the door opens and you start to mesh with the Creator, that is another stage? I'll have to think about it next time I meditate.
I'm also wondering about stages where you can get healing and then when you do balancing exercises? When do these stages come in the medtational process?
For instance, I have noticed that when you are meshing with the Creator's energy and become lighter and lighter, after a while you feel so clean and pure and light, that there occurs a question in your mind which goes something like - the vibrations of light of you and the Creator now match, would you like to replace your vibration with the lighter one? It's like an automatic question, like the ones you get on your computer sometimes. Have you ever experienced that? But sometimes also, when for instance in pain or other physical discomfort, one can try to consciously work towards healing of the self. Have you tried that? And when working towards it, it happens before one has made connection to the Creator through silence.
And then the balancing exercises... They are like opening one door - say of positive vibration first, and then you feel all this energy just rushing through you like a wild river. It is so awesome! I have learned this recently, and it was such a relieving experience! It feels like you get tons lighter and then also more free than before. It's like being able to breathe again. But then you feel how the opposite door opens, the so called negative one. And it's not as easy to let that energy to rush through those channels. But I'm learning.
What stages of meditation are these two above do you think?
