Its reassuring that you experience it too about light, shadows and illusions.
Is Mother Meera the guru who takes people into her lap? I didn't know about her seeing the Ida and Pingala channels with her outer eyes. I went to visit and receive Darshan from a woman guru in the East Bay. When she did this, lap thing, the Christ Consciousness came through me for a week afterwards. People said I was exuding light around my head and shoulders. I scarcely remember it. I was on another plain of existence. I felt like I was walking on air.
I ordinarily wear eye glasses. They're off during the shining of light from my mouth. It's only when I first get into bed that it happens. I'm a mouth breather - when I sleep. I can see the tent I put over my head - but its blurry due to no eye glasses.
Thanks for reading. Namaste.
