something good??? re: nadis /energy

[Guest guest]

  The first time it happened to me I was practicing a breathing exercise from

a book called "Meditation" by Mouni Saddhu, and after the meditation, I felt

a little light like a feather and tingly, and when I crawled into bed, I

remember to this day how splendid the sheets felt like bliss, and then when I

closed my eyes, it was like I fell immediately into sleep and woke up in the

electrical state.  It scared me so I told my mom ( who is clueless about such

things

but I was only 19 at the time ) and she said I should stop meditating.

  now I think I"m going to go to amazon.com and order that book by Mouni

Saddhu which I no longer have, so I can go find that meditation and practice it

again, assuming this (feeling of electricity) is something good and to be sought

after

the meditation had to do with breath
