I was wondering what transcending actually does to a human being over a period of time, apart from making them relaxed, bringing clarity of mind and giving them an insight which is much deeper and can therefore affect creativity.
I have been meditating over 6 months and it has certainly made a huge effect on me. Calming anxieties, removing worries and has made me extremely cool, calm and collected. And the areas I have mentioned above. What I am curious about is what is actually happening to me (if that makes sense), what am I doing to my mind long term? I am a very introspective person who has high functioning aspergers and what I am noticing is that transcending is in some ways making me feel numb, i've also discovered this odd sensation recently of being unable to 'feel' things like I used to in a sensory way. Tv programmes and even at the cinema, I find it hard to be drawn into/absorb into what I am watching. A kind of absent mind. I've never been prescribed with medication for mental health but it feels in comparison with that, as if i've been numbed of my sensory sensations which go hand in hand with aspergers and creativity and enjoyment of the interest I am doing in general.
Was wondering whether you have anything interesting to say relating to my question and how meditation might relate to people on the autism spectrum (aspergers), I would be very interested to read what you have to say.
