Earlier today I reached a sort of crossroads - Unfortunately one of the paths open to me was ending my own life. Realizing this as counterproductive, I began a meditation. I became conscious of my entire body limb by limb in great detail, to build an energetic model for use in neural dimensions. I then used my consciosness "cursor" to activate the main chakra points in my body, leading from my tailbone and up to the top of my skull. I feel my consciousness exploring energetic pathways within myself, feeling this flow of energy as a buzzing, warm lightness moving through me and twinkling with the stuff of stars. I used my consciousness tool to collect and direct energy from energetic absorption centers (hands and feet) into a somewhat obscure energetic storage unit located below the navel, which will then distribute this energy equally to the chakras automatically. I feel abuzz with this starlight radiating within me, this etheric fuel.
I began to focus on my breath as it heaves in and out, slowly and surely. The texture of my breathing takes on an oceanic quality, like waves rolling in and drifting back out, over and over and over. There is nothing else happening besides my breathing. It is like traversing a mobius strip - the breath does not end, it merely cycles. So I feel as a sort of immense, oceanic energetic web of consciousness merely existing. It feels more real than day-to-day life. It feels like being in the arms of a goddess. Nothing else matters... I am within my temple and I am working towards a greater understanding of my universe. Internally, I become a feather, within a mental body with a nervous system of its own translated from my physical body (or is it the other way around). I begin floating downwards, ever so gently, ever so relaxed with this new sensation paradox. I allow it to happen, I let myself fall, as if there were a million arms waiting to catch me whenever I reached them. I sense my newly perceived internal environment moving up around me as I float downwards, not fighting the current, not giving in to fear. Just being at one with this feeling of trust within myself. I have become the consciousness tool which I used to become aware of my energetic body. I am slipping into a state of celestial awareness, a transformation into a timeless galactic essence. The structure of the universe beyond space and time is my new dwelling place. A cascade of non-thought information is flowing seamlessly into my awareness.
I begin to spin within myself. I feel my new energetic being interacting with my physical surroundings. Without my mind to tell me what is possible and what is not, I float in circles around the room, touching the walls. Slow drips of thoughts prevent me from exiting entirely - this is always the case. I am ecstatic all over my new body as I separate from my old body and touch each wall, in front of me, left and right, behind, above. I feel myself expanding within the room until I cannot fit in it, then shrinking down until the ceiling of the room feels like it's in outer space. My awareness, using the model of my nervous system, stands up and walks out of the room, down the hallway, down the stairs, into the living room, into my kitchen, opening the fridge, closing it. I feel like I'm made of velvet and all of my surroundings are velvet as well.
I go back up to my room and attempt to exit my body completely, as all of the actions I've described above were commanded from the "HQ" of my physical body, not entirely separated from it. I begin a projection exercise in which I climb a "user-created" rope in an internal simulation of outside world physics. I feel my hands on the rope pulling my shiny new velvet body up and out, but I do not project entirely. I feel rapid eye movements and energy flowing through me, but I do not "separate". This is nothing new, and something I've come to accept, as it will happen when I have reached a point where I can really learn from the experience of being out of my body. In the meantime, I breathe in and out, and this is all that I need while I explore internal worlds with new senses beyond the five that we use on a daily basis. I find something within myself through my new sensory organ: a message of peace, of mystery, of a way of Being beyond anything we have known before, always within us, waiting for our return from our journey through the space and time it has created for us to interact with ourselves.

Glad to see you found a positive way to deal with what you wrote about in your last post. Sounds like a great experience, its actually very similar some meditations I wrote about for the Sync Book. I empathized with your previous post and wanted to share some things that have been helpful to me during hard times. Hopefully some of this may help.
Im my experience more often than not when I am depressed it is due to not eating well, dehydration, not getting enough exercise, not enough getting enough sunlight, and too much time on the computer or around electronics (electromagnetic pollution). While Im sure there could be much more to your situation than this I felt it is worth sharing.
While these may seem trivial or textbook, they tie in to the type of meditation you describe in this post. The body/mind/sprit is an energy system. The energy is a condensed form of light. We get this light/charge from eating plants that capture sunlight. We also absorb some of this when we are in the sun. Some form of exercising gets the blood flowing and the lungs breathing and helps distribute this energy throughout the body. There is a spiritual or conscious aspect to this type of energy and it can be used in various ways in meditations.
Water is a liquid crystal and conductor. Drinking plenty of water with a little bit of sea salt in it (to match blood salinity) adds to the charge of the battery. Most of us are chronically dehydrated and unable to hold a strong charge.
Eating bad food has been a big trigger for me. Processed foods not only contain no light, they act as a poison, depressing the body's energy system. Artificial sweeteners are neurotoxins effecting the brain and nervous system/electrical system. Similarly non organic fruits and vegetables, are saturated with poisons. Computers and electronics, power-lines etc, have a energy field that can interfere with the body's flow of energy. All of these things literally depress the body's energy system and physiology manifesting as sickness or depression.
Also I recently quit eating meat and have notice a big difference in how I feel especially when doing shamanic work. As we become more aware of these energies we also become more sensitive to the effects of what we allow into ourselves. Most animals are in a state or fear or panic when killed saturating their bodies with adrenaline that we then consume. Also the treatment of animals in factory farms is so extreme and cruel, there is a definite spiritual aspect to eating that type of energy.
Im glad to hear in this post that you are finding ways to work through the "dark night of the soul". It sounds like rather than moving closer to death you are finding ways to become even more alive.
