when i used to meditate regularly i would also have images flash before the mind... it was different from creating images out of shapes and colors... it wasn't something you held onto and explored. it was quick...
one night time meditation i saw the moon with my eyelids closed. it came very clear with a white glow.
one time while in a park meditating i had the image of a vibrant flower and a baby's face emerge from out of the bflower.
it's a little cartoony thinking back on it... this happened 5 or 6 years ago.
do you notice a difference between trying to make things appear versus experiencing distinct images while meditating?
There is an obvious difference when you are not wanting to see these images. It is like you can finally relax. Involuntary images also come. The mind is capable of producing an infinite variety of these images just as it is capable of producing an endless variety of dreams. Images part of our brains program but the desire to see them is way less for me now.
also, do you ever feel any activity around your brow when you meditate?
Occasionally but it is not a focal point for me as it is in some meditation practices.
i'm thinking it may be best to let it come and go as these images... not something to hold on to rather, simply experience
We really have no choice.
