Spirit contact while meditation?

[sashataj]

I’m unsure whether this is the correct place to post this, if not please move it as you see fit; I was meditating today. I want to build on my mindfulness meditation practice because I want to be able to distinguish my own chatter vs external contact. During my mindfulness session I was focusing on my breath, the chatter would come and go. Then suddenly I heard my name so loud in my head as though it came from the outside of my body like someone else called me, however I knew it was in my head still but it didn’t sound like my own inside chatter. It was interesting. I am convinced it was a spirit. Does anyone else have any similar experiences? Or is anyone else doing what I’m doing — building up mindfulness practice to distinguish one’s own chatter vs external experiences that are perceived within?

Meditation is good way to learn that difference, along with other skills, as it helps develop higher senses.

I had experience with voices talking to me during meditation... I also had out of body experience during meditation. Since you want to learn the difference, without voices from beyond you wouldn't have an opportunity to have any experience for comparing and learning the difference.
