One experience which the meditator may get and which many meditators have had is to get a lightness in the body, a feeling as if he is floating in air, in space, or in infinity. It is blissful and to be welcomed, although there have been a few cases where beginners are frightened by it, frightened that it may be the beginning of annihilation, the annihilation of consciousness, and so they stop and withdraw.
