Meditation gone bad

I am new to this site and to exploring these topics. As of late my husband has been going through a sort of "spiritual crisis" and has been looking into many things meditation being a large interest. Last evening we had a frightening experience. I was in bed asleep and my husband was laying in bed next to me andhe began to meditate he says what he did was his usual meditation routine of deep breathing but he also thought and focused on a mantra of im open to anything and anyone after about 2-3 minutes of doing that he started to go into a relaxed state but all of a sudden he seen a figure coming at him and then looking at me and disapeered. I remember seeing a red and black object coming towards me. My husband said i screamed yelled at the ceiling and punched at the air. I just remember seeing a red and black object coming at me and waking up in his arms with him holding me back trying to wake me up. After that we were awake for about an hour after that we fell asleep and neuther of us remember any dreams or any other experiences. We are both concerned about this and would like to know if anyone has an idea of what may if happened.

What kind of object,Acochran43?     
Any idea what it resembled?

it looked almost like the underneath of a spider or some sort of burst i couldnt make out an exact object or shape that i remember but it was sort of like it came from a ceiling my husband said he saw a human like shaped figure

Sorry not being rude and not doubting your eyesight but it wasn't a web coming down from the ceiling,was it?     (I have those too....)

Just to eliminate that.....

no being 1230 in the morning i did everyhing i could think of to rationalize it we grabbed the flashlight and checked the room i have also never had a violent outburst while dreaming.

Sorry,nearly missed your answer....
Ok,watch out for any more instances like this.

Ask spirit for a reason as to why this should happen.   
Just in case,say a prayer and try a different meditation....

Good luck...

The first thing that struck me was this:

and focused on a mantra of im open to anything and anyone

Anytime you open open yourself up to anything and anyone, you are opening yourself up to negative energies as well as positive energies. This can be a very dangerous thing to do, as my son found out one night when he did the same thing and his fiance got the bad end of it. 

Always protect (shield and ground) yourself before meditation and focus on who or what you desire to have come through. NEVER open yourself up to just anything that might want to come through.

how can he shield and ground himself? should we be on watch for any other things or should we be worried about anything negative?

He  can ask his  guides to not let anything through that isn't from Gods love and light before going to sleep and before meditations. Never leave it open to anyone can come. Someone might have just been teaching your husband a small lesson. I bet he won't leave it open again!  Tell him to always use protection. He could also try holding a crystal while meditating. I sleep with 2 under my pillow every night. You might want to sage the whole room saying what I said above.

Did these things work for your son? Where there any negative happenings after their experience?

My son learned very quickly to protect himself before meditation. Once he learned to properly protect himself the problems ended.


There are some very good posts on how to properly shield and ground yourself here in the forum.
