Thread: New here :) +question about vibrational state

Those vibrations are very common during WILD. Like you've already figured out, it is the stereotypical kundalini awakening that many people seek through meditation. The early days of research into out of body experiences were also hung up on these vibrations. If you read any Monroe, Bruce, ect, you will see they do all sorts of ridiculous things to encourage this "energy." Think of it however you want. It is a very cool feeling.

The physiological explanation is spontaneous middle ear muscle activity. Your middle ear (tympani muscles) spazzes out when you start to enter REM, similarly to how your eyes go crazy (Rapid Ear Movement Sleep?). This is what causes the buzzing sound and vibrations in your head. Your ear drums are literally vibrating themselves.

I've yet to hear any vibrating(except on dmt), what I experience is like a super strong compressing wave that cycles every 2-6 seconds I can make the wave last longer or shorter, it is intense but I just gotta boss up and get thru it. I've to yet pass that state, maybe tomorrow will be the day . Have any of you guys had an OBE after the vibrational state settles down?

Thanks for the welcoming!


Yeah I guess this morning it just caught me off guard lol I hope up didn't move a hair and it started to happen. The first time I encountered it was while meditating, this was like 2 months ago I was having fun with them for 40 minutes till I thought "I am I having a seizure!?" then I got up and went inside and they stopped lol

Citations? I'd like to read more about this, as I've been trying to figure out the physiological mechanism behind the vibrational stage for awhile.
