Question
I would like to know whether it is common to see lights and
colors during zazen:
The first few times, my eyes began watering as soon as I took the posture. I was not sad; they were burning. I tried relaxing, and the next few times only one eye watered, and the burning was less intense.
From the beginning, I have seen the spots on the wall transform.
And although my eyes burn less now, I see lots of moving colored spots and a strange, shifting brightness that goes from very dark to very bright. I have no eyesight problems.
Is this a common phenomenon for a beginner? Do most people who meditate see this?
Thank you if you can answer me!
