    Dear Martin,

    Welcome to BardonPraxis! Now we have two Martins (that I know of, at
    any rate). :)

    >> After having relaxed my body I have been experiencing the following
    in some of my meditations, I feel that "I" start spinning at very high
    speed and in all directions. The sensation is wonderful, but I can't
    figure out what is really is happening. I could not resist
    the sensation of euphoria and when I think in something the "effect"
    disappears. If someone has experience something like that or have an
    explanation I would be delighted to hear about it. <<

    Your description sounds like the sensation one experiences when the
    astra-mental body begins to separate from the physical body. This is
    often experienced as a sensation of spinning or toppling, falling, etc.
    Sometimes even nausea and profuse sweating can ensue.

    The main thing is to not fight it, as resisting the spin will only
    increase any discomfort and feelings of disorientation.

    The fact that when you introduce thinking about something, the spinning
    ceases, says to me that there is a slight deficiency in the Earth
    Element. The Earth Element is what binds the whole consciousness (i.e.,
    the three bodies) together. When you meditate, you relax and generally
    shift focus away from being in your physical body and this action
    pertains to the Air Element (the opposite of the Earth Element).
    Focusing your thoughts within the meditative state however, pertains to
    the Earth Element and therefore, it will halt the *uncontrolled*
    detachment of the astra-mental body from the physical shell.

    The spinning sensation, while enjoyable (euphoric, as you described),
    can present a major distraction to your otherwise meditative state. For
    example, if you're doing the one-pointedness, it draws you away from
    your intended point of focus, and when you're practicing an emptiness of
    mind, your mind becomes instead filled by the sensation. So it is
    something you will need to overcome or at the very least, something you
    will need to learn how to ignore so that its occurrence doesn't distract
    you.

    In terms of overcoming it, I suggest that you look to your Soul Mirror
    for any major Air and/or Earth issues and seek balance there.
    Especially, a strengthening of the Earth Element would help to better
    hold your consciousness together during your quiet meditations.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
