I’m not sure how to go into this, but…
I have been practicing a form of contemplative prayer for a while, resting “under the presence of God,” or practicing Lectio Divina, but then when I pray long enough, I began to rock back and forth unwillingly, faster and faster and it doesn’t seem to stop until I hit the floor.
I have no idea, but it is when I’m semi-conscious. I assume that it is my brain that is creating this mechanical function, but at the same, I feel quite euphoric, at peace…
This has happened to me before during intercessory group prayer at school for one time.
Should I seek a doctor? A spiritual director? I don’t want this to happen if such is false, or mentally created. I’m confused, and I don’t know what to think of it. Is it an occurrence of God, or is it some mentally-induced autohypnosis or trance? I am confused, yes, and I want to continue praying.
Hmm… what do you all think of it?
