I've got to say, while I'm no newbie, this is interesting and I'm not sure where to go with it.
Last night was attempting to meditate before bed, as I've started to do because it's really the only time I get a dark, quiet alone time. My cat cuddles up, I settle in and I start to breathe. I didn't know where I wanted to go, or what I wanted to do but I figured I would just calm my mind and focus on anything that came.
My mind began to wander around but nothing specific came through. Suddenly, I.. well, for lack of a better term, I snarled. Loudly. I heard myself do it. I almost thought it was exploding head at first but realized that it was me. I made the sound. It was like a snort, or maybe a single, really loud snore but I wasn't asleep. I was awake and I heard myself do it. It was definitely a snarl. Today I tried making the sound again and I really couldn't without a lot of effort and even then it wasn't the same.
I wasn't mad or upset, even after the snarl. Some negativity happened during the day, but what else is new?
Have any of y'all ever snarled out loud during meditation for seemingly no reason? I'm curious to get some outside perspective on this.
Maybe I was just snoring. Heh.
