Welcome to the forum Mandy,I can't personally tell you what this is but if it made you feel good it must be some positive energy or spirit sent to you,good stuff.
what type of meditation do you practice... is it by any chance reiki based?
A few times I've had friends lay down and I would swipe my hands across their bodies...when I did that I could feel exactly where their pain was. I could feel an energy disturbance in those places and my hand would feel a warmth in those places....but I'm not sure if I can heal a person or even how to do that.
ahhh...O.K., have you been meditating very long?... moving energy is a Reiki practice, that's why I asked.. if youre new to it (meditation) that could be what you are experiencing, it will probably ease up over time, unless you narrow down a path and follow it with proper instruction, in which case you could possibly grow the ability, but either way I don't think its anything to be concerned about..... read this forum and you will find a lot of info concerning spirituality and meditation that will be of help and may give you an idea if it is something you would like to pursue further.
I don't know how you are meditating or what your routine is, so just going from what you have posted so far,... your statement above also usually comes from a reiki type practice... I would say that the light you see from yourself is just your own energy, and yes, this is what you would use to form a shield from...(just an answer for your first post)..... but the fact you so easily "see" this and "feel" it is curious, most ppl with no training or deep interest never reach this stage...(of course though , as previously stated, it will most likely pass)... if you don't mind my asking, have you had any training at all with this type practice?..
