This was really really weird I was brought up in a hippie type family my parents were all in to the saving the environment and incense and weed and meditation and stuff and i have always been into the same stuff but meditation has never worked for me but last night it finally worked i think? I was really stoned last night and after riping a big cone i decided to meditate I crossed my legs and sat with my back straight and i started doing what my parents told me to do when i was younger to meditate i started staring at a candle and i started to think like it was a doorway to my sole or the "spiritual world" as my mum calls it. then i closed my eyes and did the same and i started to the see the flame as a doorway or something getting bigger and bigger then i started to feel uncomfortable my arms felt awkward and my legs went numb but i still tried to clear my mind then all of a sudden i started to feel my self lift out of my body and i felt all warm and comfortable and like i was floating just above my body then i went into this thing that felt like i was dreaming but i was conscious and it felt real i was sitting under this tree and everything was purple and weird. i don't know ay maybe i just fell asleep because i was so stoned but when i woke up i was still sitting in the exact same position it was only like 10 minutes but it felt like it was hours.
yes, you saw purple people so you defiitely did it correctly, this is a sign that your meditation was successful.
My thinking is that if you're going to meditate you want to use a form that's based on the way that your mind works. There's only one form that is - the Energy-Control Meditation Technique: the Energy-Control Meditation Technique
