hearing Dialogue on Attention to First Strike

I was really struck by how impactful this mediation was, both for me, as well as for everyone else.

As I read everyone's experience, I could see a common thread, and I think in the end it's not something that could be described in words, but I got a sense of where our experience converged beyond words, a universal experience that this meditation gets at.

The question that comes up for me is why my experience was so psychedelic? Both ShirleyLuver and myself reported relaxation and peace, so this is a pattern. But why was my experience so psychedelic? I really felt like I was on something after a while. All I did was pay attention to the first strike of sound - which is, as Dr. Hoefs said, INSIDE my experience, so I am looking at it through a glass darkly, so to speak. Is there some way that paying attention to this phenomena brings us closer to it?
