Question
Hi,
I started meditating a month ago to achieve a calm n peacefl mind and nowadays I will always see light. It is like even in a dark room, you will sense the light all around as though someone shone a large torch onto you. Also, I will feel a twitch or pressure against the area between my eyebrow. Any advice on my experience and any technique to futher improve it?
Thanks

Answer
if you will learn to meditate in the Buddhist tradition you need a qualified Buddhist meditation teacher that you can meet regularly with
and discuss meditation - just like with any other training that
you take seriously.

The teacher will give you
specific instruction  tailored to your own case. After you have followed
the instructions you go back to the teacher and discuss your experience
and receive further instructions.

Meditation teaching has worked like this in asia for thousands of years.
I know no other way to learn.

So I think Clement you should find a teacher who you can meet, otherwise your kidding yourself.
