After I meditate, I can often hear details in music that I would normally overlook - just like psychedelics seem to do. I watched a movie after meditating, and it seemed like the images were 3D even though it was a 2D movie.

I'm a beginner to meditation, so I'm sure it becomes even more interesting as you progress.

Thanks, were do you even start to learn this type of meditation?

Something you can learn on your own or need a teacher?

I don't know much about mediation, because only started experimenting a year ago. I don't meditate regularly.

From what I've heard, it is best to get personal training from an instructor, but that isn't practical for me.

Here is a forum where people have answered my questions on meditation:
