White flashes of light in meditation?

how do you position your eyes during meditation? staring at nose, rolling the eyes back into your head? do you squeeze them by any chance?

There are many ways of bhagti and you seem to be more experienced than me, but the way i learnt from Mahapursh was to completeley close the right eye, and focus on th tip of your nose with the left and have it onlny slightly open - really slightly so it looks like both eyes are shut. Then focus in the sukhmana (middle of forehead) and that will lead itself to dasam duwar. Sometimes I have been told to start from your 'dhunni', bellybutton and do the four stages but i find the other way more easier to remember. The pingula and khara are the 2 veins in the forehead and that is what usually makes people get a 'V' when the laugh but that means they are seperated from God-1 symbolises 'worldly' and the other 'spiritually'. By meditation they will become one and the 'v' will dissappear. that will be your road to swas giraas.

i am no gianni and have no understanding or knowledge, but it is just my 2 cents. I hope to get there one day.

That's probably the better explanation !

It is all part of the journey, the different colours are supposed to represent the different chakras from what I gather. However, one can be easily distracted in this respect and therefore I have deliberately not learnt what colours mean what !!

To see them when not meditating is also quite normal.

I'm not very artistic in any way but I am also quite sure that you see colours that you didn't even know existed !!

Controlling the 'ego' is very important if one wants to progress. I have made this mistake many times, but then you just end up stuck at that level or even feel that you may be stepping backwards !!- Believe me, that is not pleasant at all and is a huge burden of guilt on one's conscious.

Personally, I don't think it's wise to tell people about your experiences in person. Much of it should be kept personal, as this aids your progress.

However, I don't mind talking on here because no one really knows me as a person on here in any way.

I do thank Waheguru ji for this new age of technology in this 'one' instance.[/quote

I agree , it's is important to talk about it , many people are on this journey alone .

I think Kaur meant that he/she gets only more ego when he takes it seriously what happens thru meditation.

And man-ego=god stands probably for man minus ego = god
