Is this a normal experience in meditating?

Asked by Sunshinegirl11 (1110points) February 22nd, 2018 from iPhone

So I’ve started mindfulness meditation and I’ve just been focusing on my breathing. It’s been super relaxing and enjoyable.

However, I’ve had some weird “highs” from meditation. And I’m 100% sober. So when I get about 10 minutes into meditation, I feel my body get really warm and sort of stretch. And then I feel my hands get really tiny, and then essentially I’m just watching my breathing from above. It’s a weird out of body experience. It’s actually super relaxing and enjoyable but I don’t know if it’s normal…

I remember feeling this way a couple of times when having a fever as a kid, or when I was about to fall asleep with the fever when I was a kid.

After this out of body experience with meditation, I usually get a weird headache.
Any explanations?
