Has anyone experienced this as well?
I have been meditating for a while now(10 years) on and off. There was a time when I made a great progress and could sit for more than 30 min to more than an hour in a go which would make me feel so refreshed later.
But over the time, I started getting this uncomfortable feeling after I am starting to focus better. I would gradually hallucinate about some sharp objects on my skin trying to make a cut and my mind would feel pain. This feeling is mostly unlocked after I have calmed my racing mind and spent some time in feeling this calmness. Usually it would start slow and once it starts it becomes impossible to control and it always become too uncomfortable for me to continue.
My meditation duration reduced significantly over time. Now I just meditate quick and short before this feeling strikes and abort if I ever experience this.
Has anyone ever faced something like this? Any tips around?
