I wonder if the state of mind one attains during yoga

isn't very similar to that in meditation...

Then what do you think was experiencing and remembering

the event ?

That is highly probable.

My simple and not very knowledgeable suggestion for

the reason for this is that K

is different for everybody and can feel different

from time to time.

 

The first three times K hit me was like being hit over

the head with a sledgehammer, very abrupt and very

powerful.

 

After that it was like having spasms in the back and an

orgasm in the whole body during light meditation/trance.

 

I've also experienced is a sheet of energy being

extended out from the body as well as it just being

pure joy and enthusiasm.

 

Only lately have I started experiencing the gas flame

rising.

 

I'm still so new to this I enjoy just blabbering about

the experience itself.

 

Best regards,

 

Amanda.
