I haven't seen any satisfactory posts on the web about this and I've only just begun to meditate but I have noticed a phenomena that seems to be increasing as I continue my meditative work. I hope others can verify some common experiences. I've been out of balance spiritually for quite awhile and after much advice and instruction that I should start meditating, I started. In the beginning about a week ago, I started to meditate in my back yard as I figured that being with nature would help to heal me faster spiritually.
Now in the beginning I didn't really notice anything unusual, but now I definitely think that there's something going on. It's ants.When I first started to meditate about a week ago, I would sit in the sun and meditate early afternoon and sure there were ants that were around but they didn't bother me much. By the third day, I noticed that there were a lot of ants around and one or two would climb on my foot but just as quickly climb off and be on their way. Now I thought that I just happened to sit down in the middle of their foraging time and it was my fault that they were around me. So I continued to meditate and I'd find patches of grass where it'd be clear and I picked earlier in the morning when it seemed like they were less active. This was a bit better and eventually their activity picked up which I assumed was because it was getting hotter and closer to noon. Ok. So, the days pass and I start choosing an area of grass that has no ants in my site and I decided to sit in the shade where it was cooler. After ten minutes, an ant crawls on me, nothing unusual, 15 minutes, two ants crawl on me in another few minutes I can't concentrate on my meditation because there would be like five ants crawling on me at once and they don't just crawl off me. They stay on and seem to be exploring me out of curiosity.I look around and I'd see the grass around me had lots of ants crawling around. About an ant at every inch of grass. This was since the beginning but today when I got up to move indoors I noticed that the rest of the backyard was clear but my area seemed to have gathered ants! This isn't the first day. The number of ants in my vicinity seem to be increasing each day I meditate and it doesn't matter what patch of grass I meditate on. It would go from no ant in sight to a population just crawling around me and on me. So I definitely think that something's going on with the ants like they can pick up some energy from me or something and it's attracting them. I really wanted to find some information on the web about how ants can perhaps sense energy changes and be attracted to or repelled by it.
Even research papers don't seem to address this. I'm thinking that these ants are more sensitive to energy and probably the earth's magnetic field than we think.
I have noticed the same thing happen to me. Lots of ants wherever I start going into a meditation trance, sitting or standing. Here they come! One thing I can say is this, we are definitely onto something. That in itself is an amazing explaination and if we can't find answers in this world then they have no idea and that is something to be extremely excited about and happy that we are on the right track 😀
ReplyDeleteP.S.: we may be creating/releasing/generating a certain chemical or energy food that attracts these ants. The more we do will start attracting all sorts of organisms. Ants are level one because we are not going to be scared and it also helps us work towards become fearless no matter who/what comes next to us. Someday it might be a lion or tiger out of the attraction of the love chemical we may generate and if we get scared we may trigger their fight or flight mechanism and maybe this is why we get things that our higher self or guides know we can handle and also to solve this riddle which is really what it is. When solved we become light beings / pure energy.
Hope that helps. I just came out of all of the above by thinking and writing on the spot plus from the knowledge acquired over time.
Godspeed!
Omg I have this same problem but when I'm inside!!! It's always about 2 to 4 that will start crawling all over me out of nowhere, like they're manifesting out of thin air. Like you I haven't been able to find any info and it's been driving me crazy.
ReplyDeleteIts the same with me... I was already warned by some Gurus that do meditation
ReplyDeletein closed spaces for the same reason coz they have seen even snakes and birds getting attracted towards you... And its pretty dangerous if you accidently touch them as we are yet on the lower most level of meditation. It will require lots and lots of efforts fo gain the required level. And once it is reached our reaction would be trustworthy to the animals and harm would not be a consequences to anyone
I am experiencing the same problems with outside meditation
ReplyDeleteI am experiencing same problem all over my room. Not only during meditation but after meditation too. One day i killed but again a lot of ants.
ReplyDeleteI experienced hell lot of ants after the meditation from nowhere. How to handle this situation? Why do they come? And what do they want? If my consciousness level is upgraded then what next?

ReplyDeleteok, so like many of you I have experienced this. Not that ants appear, but if they are around they get excited. After some inquiry, this is what I think. When we are trying to focus on one point, with our full energy, the movement of energy from rest of the source to that one point is highly active energy. This in turns makes the ants active. If you now, breath in compassion and love along with the one one pointedness, the cessation of movement happens, which then will let them go and not attract. in short --- intense focus-->high energy->movement-->attracts ant. love compassion->awareness->focus->more stable, steady--> lesser movement-->calmer energy--> invisible to ants. try it and share your experience.
ReplyDeleteI found articles stating that ants are attracted to electric magnetic fields. Many get shocked. However, i believe they are attracted where the energy doesn't move freely, or disturbance in the flow of energy in the body. The body stores unhealed traumas in the body that is stored in the body. When you meditate you move energy, if you consciously place an intent to move energy. Some energy cannot flow due to energetic knot or obstruction, hence this creates a field of energy that is not flowing, therefore it attracts ants. Next time you meditate observe which parts of your body the ants are attracted to but you must where least amount of clothing so they can crawl onto to guide you. Then you must move the energy around that spot. This is what i believe.
ReplyDeleteView it as acupuncture by mother nature. It allows you to liberate that energy that is stagnant.
