Meditation, I would guess, is specific to the individual. For me, if I have a real time 45 minutes/1 hour session, it feels like about 15 minutes have passed. So time seems to speed up. This has always been the case for me and I accept it as a fact that it is either the same for everyone or is specific to me but eitherway it is normal for me and my experience.
Today I performed meditation in a usual place. It seemed to me to last 15 minutes or so, so I guessed that in real time maybe 45 minutes had passed. As I sat up and looked at my personal time piece it said 19 minutes had elapsed. I thought this strange that I had actually had a real time experience but accepted it eventhough I was frustrated to have achieved only a short meditative state.
I went downstairs for something to eat and saw that infact 45/50 minutes (approximately) had elapsed on the kitchen clock. I checked my personal timer and this was working correctly. So why had only 19 minutes passed during meditation local to where I was but outside of that bubble 45/50 minutes had gone by. Had time locally to where I had meditated somehow slowed down? I am a rational man but I am at a loss as to what happened. My personal timer has never gained or lost time before and is functioning correctly now, so the only possibilities are that I've read the digital read out incorrectly and somehow read 49 minutes as 19 (unlikely but a possibility), random machine malfunction or there has been some local time disruption.
I would be interested to hear any similar meditation experiences?
