    Hello Adri, thank you for sharing your experience. To answer your question, yes I too have had similar experiences while sitting. However, I've also dealt with anxiety, panic attacks and major frustration (what am I doing this for???) while sitting so I tend to not hold on to any sitting experience too tightly. As Shingen said, when sad be sad, when happy just be happy =)

    Crying is good for the soul.

      Thanks Joyo, that was a great quote for me to hear today. We just gotta let life do what it does sometimes rather than feel like we have to explain, classify, or control it somehow!

          Hope this helps; your (my/our) hypothalamus can't discriminate between overwhelming positive or negative experiences. Its pretty much all the same.

          Is this the first glimpse you've had? It doesn't stop, include it in your "I" IMO.

          Nothing to do? Why not Sit?

            Hi.

            Just reiterating what everyone else says, it happens to everyone one, relax, recognize, realize and smile.

                    Well, that sounds rather familiar =) I think I may know him. He's like my bestie or something.
