Meditation?

[lewis1]

Please comment if you know the answer. Ever since I had a heart attack a few years back and during the trip in ambulance to ER the following occurred - my wife sat in a chair opposite me and I was laid out on a trolley. The striking pains in my chest were hitting ore often and at one stage I recall a floating sense, found a light grey mist around me, no fear then next second back in ambulance, Ever since even in busy room in house I can close my eyes and shut myself off, not sleep, am aware of surroundings, is this state for meditation?

Hi lewis what was happening to you imo was a near death experience but you came back as it wasn't your time to die ?

It was obvs a short NDE

My thanks for the info, it was a wonderful moment, a floating feeling with the ability to move in any direction, and a yearning to do so. Also the feeling that I could have been there for either seconds or hours.I have tried to achieve, search for that same feeling. I want to explore what I felt and see where it leads. So I have been practising and like I wrote in my last post. I can shut of from my surroundings, be aware of the noise but ignore it, find a similar greyness and almost touch the same feelings? Hence not sure if meditating or not. From what you indicate my trials could be dangerous maybe? but very useful activity when the house if full noisy family, lol.

Hi I guess when things get hectic at home you can just remember the feelings you had when you had your Near death experience - I am sure that is what you had , meditation is not quite the same thing it's not dangerous but you will never get that same feeling ?
