This one meditation experience in particular stands out from all other mystical & mundane experiences in my life.
I was completely sober and calm and laying down for a rest on my palette, a large futon mattress, and spontaniously began vocally toning. I hadn’t planned it or thought of such a thing at all. Up and down the register of my voice - up and down the entire register smoothing the wrinkles and attending to the ‘errors’… continuing for 30 minutes up and down the register from as high as I could go to as low as I could go aiming for maximal smoothness and range and always stopping to redo problem frequencies by backing up a bit and moving through the frequencies again and again until it was smooth.
I did this not stop for 30 minutes. I was completely into it before long and was incredibly aware of the vibrations & frequencies of my voice and their many qualities & facets. I became incredibly aware of my breathing patterns & depth and adapted my breathing to best assist the toning, taking deep breaths from the diaphragm and toning as I exhaled without restraint at a full natural volume. Eventually the breathing became rhythmic & effortless; synced with the beat of my ascending & descending vocal exercise.
When, after half an hour, I sat up; I felt a radiant column of energy from what would be near my 1st chakra (perineum?) up to my heart chakra area - I didn’t feel it any higher than that, but I felt that for a good 45 minutes. The rest of my body felt kind of numb. There was no pain or discomfort at all. I was mentally clear as a bell with not a hint of downside to anything. I was completely at peace and in the moment.
I walked around the house, sat on the stairs for a while listening to my roommates, gazed at stuff, listened to things feeling this column of radiance emanating from a pillar within me.I recall noticing that ‘I COULDN’T NOT have perfect posture’ in this state. My back couldn’t be straighter.
I felt the energy warm me and radiating from another dimension within me or… that contains me… and felt totally blissed out in mind and body for 45 minutes.That 30 minutes of spontaneous vocal toning meditation I regard as one of the best investments I’ve ever made.
May you too be blessed with such rewarding surprises.

Wow! That must have been divine experience. More of a contacting your self-conscience. Like opening your soul up, setting it free from virtual boundaries set by oneself!
I must try this sometime.
