Navigating Intense Energy Experiences

"During meditation I sometimes experience intense energetic phenomena that can be overwhelming. How should I relate to these powerful experiences? Rupert says: ‘Intense energetic experiences are the body-mind reorganising itself in response to understanding. They’re neither to be sought nor resisted. Like weather passing through the sky, let them come and go without attachment or aversion. Your true nature is the space in which these experiences arise and subside. Don’t identify with the experiences or make them special – that would be giving them a reality they don’t possess. Simply remain as the aware presence you are, allowing all experiences their natural movement. The experiences themselves are not the goal; they’re side effects of the deeper recognition of your true nature. Rest as awareness itself, not as the one having experiences.’"
