The Body Discovered from the Inside
A student reflects on experiences of telepathy, consciousness beyond the body, and a felt capacity to work with contraction and illness through inner attention.
I don't necessarily have a formed question, but I've been listening to a podcast about parents of children with nonverbal autism who report that their kids have telepathic and other psychic abilities. I've had moments where I felt I experienced telepathy and confirmed it with the other person. In one episode, a child who had been taught to touch-type in order to communicate later reported that it was during that process that he discovered he had a body. He didn't know that before. All of this has had me thinking a lot about the nature of consciousness.
On an experiential level, I've also been noticing that when my brain feels scrunched, what you named during the meditation as a sense of contraction, sometimes I can lie down and visualize light or send energy to that area and almost flesh it out. When I do anything like that successfully, it shifts. It's happened also when I'm sick or feel a cold coming on. I'll lie down and do this, and often I'm able to nip it in the bud. I've been recognizing that capacity more and more.
Yeah, interesting.
