Voice during meditation.

[John T]

Hello everyone, my name is John. This is my first post here. I've been looking through both the Psychic & Paranormal and Spirituality, Consciousness & Awareness forums, and this forum seems to be the correct option. Anyhow, I know there are other threads somewhat like this, but they don't answer my specific question.

A bit of background information on myself: I'm not new, by all means, to anything from meditation to the paranormal. Ever since I was young, I've seen things and heard things that adults, and priests specifically, push away as either my imagination or demonic entity. Ever since I was about 8, I've been doing some form of meditation. Whether it be breathing exercises to control my emotions, or actual meditation.

I haven't been routinely meditating in awhile. Lately, it's been whenever I find the time, and then if I felt like it (which is the nice way of saying not very often). So, earlier tonight I began a meditation, and something happened that hasn't happened before. I was headed into the clear state of mind, focused completely on my breathing, when I audibly heard a voice say "Quit searching. You know the answers to what you seek." The voice sounded familiar, and as I pondered it, I began to realize the voice was a younger version of my own.

What I'm asking is, could it have been a product of my mind, or something else? I can't think of anything I'm searching for at the moment. I always go by a wise word of advice I received awhile back: "Expect the mundane before the extraordinary." But, even with that, I'm at loss here.

Were you meditating to find an answer for something/develop your psychic ability(ies), or just to meditate?

A few nights ago, I was meditating, and was focussing on my third eye. About halfway through my 15-minute meditation, I decided to try clearing out/opening my chakras, so I started visualizing a white light coursing up and down my body, through each chakra.

I visualized the white light make a few passes when, out of nowhere, I saw a violet light flash in the darkness of my closed eyes. It made one pass, then disappeared. It surprised me because I had no idea where it came from. I was visualizing white light, and the violet flash was not like those small color dots that can be seen when we close our eyes--it was larger and more pronounced.

I focussed on seeing it again, and it did flash one more time. A minute or so later, I stopped meditating and casually looked at my clock, which read 4:40 am. I did a few things around my room, got into bed, and saw that it was now 4:44 am.

The next night, I was doing the same thing, but I was visualizing violet light (per the advice of AngelPsychic444). But this time, something COMPLETELY unexpected happen.

I heard my curtain rustle a bit, as if a breeze had blown against it, and then I felt a presence standing next to my bed where I was sitting, meditating. I tried to ignore it, but my body was physically reacting to and acknowledging the presence. I couldn't focus anymore and had to open my eyes and see what, if anything, was there... Nothing. But I have no doubt that I picked up on some entity.

My point with all this is: if you were seeking an answer, it could have been your own mind answering you (not a certainty, just a possibility). But if you weren't, and it came to you out of nowhere, I would lean more toward maybe your Higher Self (since you said the voice sounded like a younger you) or a Guardian Angel.

Sorry my response was so long. I'm new to all this, myself, but I hope it helps.

John,
It sounds like your higher self is sending you a message. You may not consciously realize you are searching for something but your higher self knows better. Analyze what was said and think about all areas of your life and what they could be talking about. If you still can't figure it out ask your guides/and or angels for guidance and clarity on the situation.

Thank you both for your replies. I would've responded sooner, but I fell asleep shortly after I created this thread.

CPOptimist As I mentioned in my original post, it was the first time I had meditated in quite some time. I was meditating to try and start up a semi-normal routine once again (not of anything specific), which is why this occurrence surprised me. Your experience with the violet light is interesting, because occasionally I'll see orbs of light out of the corner of my eye. I've never considered visualizing it.

Colorful Vibrations I intend on meditating again tonight, specifically on things I may be searching for. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about "guardian angels," however I do firmly believe in the higher self. I'm open to all possibilities.

You said that you're on the fence about guardian angels, but I'd recommend giving MBOs (which are explained in The Gentle Way thread) a try. In case you haven't already looked through that thread: even though most people think of their guardian angels when requesting MBOs, you can aim your requests to anyone/anything, such as your higher self, and MBOs can help you with anything and everything. I request at least one MBO each time before I begin meditating.

Sorry, I guess I didn't insert the link correctly. I'll just do it the old fashion way this time lol.

The Gentle Way: requesting most benevolent outcomes
