    I have noticed that I am easily influenced by Nature. Beautiful nature naturally brings a sense of meditativeness & peace. The mist on face, cool breeze flowing, the sunlight permeating through cool breeze, the sounds of rushing water of monstrous waves falling down, the river flowing in its full majesty. Such moments come rarely, but when the happen mind goes into a natural state of gratitude for Guru ji, for blessing me with his grace!
    I am sharing some pics that came out nice I believe.

    Very good. These all seem like cultivating signs and you need to continue with this cultivation. 
    I'm afraid you wont get much guidance or help from nowadays gyanees, sants..etc.. especially the ones present in the public eye.     It's sad that they can't explain or advise on your encounters, and even more frustrating when they can't confirm what you may be trying to explain.   On the other hand, I can try confirm if I understand some underlying phenomena in line with my comprehending and gyaan.   I can give some guidance and pointers based on practical sikhi, but you have to remember that experiences are unique for all of us and can't be identical or they wouldn't be "experiences".  Therefore, please understand, it's only what I know and think!..... it's not concrete, and you shouldn't take it for granted. 
     
    Buzzing sounds and many other sounds are preliminary to Anhad.  Gradually increasing and changing is also a positive sign.   I can't say whether you are hearing anhad or not. I may be able to help you identify anhad using similar approach to what a gurmukh used when confirming my queries.(can only pm this)
     
    That part is a little tricky because these things happen before you can even acknowledge them, and then our mind tries to get us to slow down so that it can try understand and take in what's happening,...but then this itself disturbs your dhyiaan, and you end up disconnecting.
    It's not astral projection as such and don't go around reading too much stuff because this area is not described properly anywhere because there is a huge overlap of different types of phenomena. In practice, we are not interested in this astral projection that you may read about because it is mostly of lower frequencies and weighted down to the lower planes.  
    What we as Sikhs are interested in is "consciousness's expansion" .  To expand your consciousness and raise it's frequency so that the whole universal Gobind is pargat within your very self. - I'm not just talking play of words here,..because if you can take your focus within and inwards such that your mind's dhyian is nowhere outside your body (in thought and process),.. then you will find, the more you introspect and start concentrating your consciousness into a pinhole like dot. So tiny and like a point getting so microscopically small that you wanna feel your whole consciousness fully concentrated inside it,... then the whole ginormous universe will begin to reveal itself inside you!   ........Bhagat Pipa says...
    ਜੋ  ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰਡੇ  ਸੋਈ  ਪਿੰਡੇ  ਜੋ  ਖੋਜੈ  ਸੋ  ਪਾਵੈ  ॥
    Jo barahmanḏe so▫ī pinde jo kẖojai so pāvai.
    The One who pervades the Universe also dwells in the body; whoever seeks Him, finds Him there.

    Guru Arjan dev ji says.......
    ਮੇਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਬਾਸਿਬੋ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ॥

    The Guru, the Lord of the Universe, dwells within my mind.
     
     
    Very Good, just LISTEN. Listening to the sound is the key. Pictures are maya and divert thoughts and mind too easily. Ok at beginning stages as long as the sevak know not to get attached and learns to dissociate his consciousness once the murti/ picture has helped stabilise it.
     
    Flashes, yes, but don't let them flash you!  Stay in sehaj, calm and go with natural effortless flow. Only effort should be the longing and urge of joining consciousness in union with Gobind.
    Sunn is a stage of Samadhi.  I haven' had too much experience, so I can't really justify my explanaions, but you shouldn't get diverted in a belief that you are in this state of sunn. When consciousness or surti tries to rise and vibrate at higher levels but the body is not yet ready, then many people start passing out, or even getting thrown about from their inner energy eruptions, or they experience feelings of numbness and detachment from body. Again, not to be confused with sunn. Sunn samdhi is a state of super awareness whilst at the same time you are in a complete ''nothingness'.  That's what I understand and make of it, but I'm hoping that someday I can explain it much better with a stronger basis.
    My guess is that it's your physical body trying to align itself for the atma to ascend..   We are MInd, body and soul.
    As the nadis try and open at a faster rate than what our body is ready for. Then because the  body has had a lifetime of tampering and energy blockages,..we start to  experience these physical disruptions. It's like the subtle/sukham sareer being ready, but the physical sareer being a hindrance.
      I recommend overall control in well-being, maintaining posture .etc. steps to keep energy flowing uniformly and balanced,... try some gentle yoga breathings,asanas  etc..
     
    A very slight pulsation is felt at the navel because this is where it all begins. This is where the energy stimulates and pumps up as to awaken the kundalini below.
    I personally recommend that you try the "rom rom" jugtees and simran techniques that are on the meditation thread. I reckon that once rom rom gets activated and nadis are all japping spontaneously without effort, then your sukham energies will flow much more freely. You should be able to get into deep meditation within seconds to minutes of sitting down.
     
    Don't assume that all I've written is all you need to do and sikhi is about physical japna itself..  You won't actually progress until you start to learn(Sikh) about your own lessons in life. 
    Remember, you took birth to come and learn these lessons in this lifetime.  After so many janam-janam, this was to be the lifetime where you wanted to get the 1st hand darshan of akaal purakh. To wipe your paaps from janam-janam and to clean that slate so as to see the Lord's reflection.. 
    Bhagat Ravidaas says....

    ਬਹੁਤ  ਜਨਮ  ਬਿਛੁਰੇ  ਥੇ  ਮਾਧਉ  ਇਹੁ  ਜਨਮੁ  ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ  ਲੇਖੇ  ॥
    Bahuṯ janam bicẖẖure the māḏẖa▫o ih janam ṯumĥāre lekẖe.
    For so many incarnations, I have been separated from You, Lord; I dedicate this life to You.
    ਕਹਿ  ਰਵਿਦਾਸ  ਆਸ  ਲਗਿ  ਜੀਵਉ  ਚਿਰ  ਭਇਓ  ਦਰਸਨੁ  ਦੇਖੇ  ॥੨॥੧॥
    Kahi Raviḏās ās lag jīva▫o cẖir bẖa▫i▫o ḏarsan ḏekẖe. ||2||1||
    Says Ravi Daas: placing my hopes in You, I live; it is so long since I have gazed upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||2||1|| 
    These lessons, with events, encounters..etc. will begin to unfold once you start making spiritual progress.  It is different for everyone and it involves numerous stages of learning and gaining intuitive gyaan.
    You should begin to get urges and thoughts to want to make changes in your jeevan jaach. You will want to do things or live in such simple ways that you would have never dreamed of previously. This is what you have to give attention and focus to and these will become the major steps towards realisation and hopefully, enlightenment.
    You gotta really dig within and find yourself. Ive come across a few abyassees at simran camps that got too pre-occupied in the goal to open dasam duar and ignored the need for following hukam to change jeevan jach. (I've done this myself, so I know!)  ...You end up falling victim to ego. 
    Ego will continue to fool us until the very last steps. They say that the last of the dhoots that we completely strip off before merging in sachkhand is Ahankar.  So keeping doing reality checks and watching your own back for your own ego trying to play you. It is too smart and you have to imagine it as being the split personality of yourself.

    Waheguru
     
    We can discuss this pangti or even the many more that are similar in Raag Gauri Cheti.
    Gauri Cheti instructs us about ALL the different things that we go looking and asking for. Coincidentallly, you are doing exactly this with your own question??......what??
    Yes,..you have fallen into the chase of our jumping mind which is "always" trying to run in different directions to find solutions itself whilst at the same time, it will disregard Guru's Gurmat..
     
    Your question is what I usually refer to as  "jumping the gun" .like when our mind tries jumping to a solution without paying attention to careful detail.
    Anyhow, here's my understanding and answer to your question............
    ...... if you look into the pangi carefully, you will notice that Guruji is actually telling you NOT go looking for mantars!
     
    Let's have a look at the 2 pangti's of this verse to see if you understand what I mean and if you buy it or not.
     
    Ang 156
    ਗਉੜੀ  ਚੇਤੀ  ਮਹਲਾ  ੧  ॥
    Ga▫oṛī cẖeṯī mėhlā 1.
    Gauree Chaytee, First Mehl:
    ਅਉਖਧ  ਮੰਤ੍ਰ  ਮੂਲੁ  ਮਨ  ਏਕੈ  ਜੇ  ਕਰਿ  ਦ੍ਰਿੜੁ  ਚਿਤੁ  ਕੀਜੈ  ਰੇ  ॥
    A▫ukẖaḏẖ manṯar mūl man ekai je kar ḏariṛ cẖiṯ kījai re.
    O mind, there is only the One medicine, mantra and healing herb - center your consciousness firmly on the One Lord.
    ਜਨਮ  ਜਨਮ  ਕੇ  ਪਾਪ  ਕਰਮ  ਕੇ  ਕਾਟਨਹਾਰਾ  ਲੀਜੈ  ਰੇ  ॥੧॥
    Janam janam ke pāp karam ke kataṇhārā lījai re. ||1||
    Take to the Lord, the Destroyer of the sins and karma of past incarnations. ||1|| 
     
    I know that the English translation isn't precise, but it seems to be a little extra and using words not included in the original. Maybe the intention was that it may help us feel and understand Guru Nanak ji's message?... (I've no idea) .  I think that the off-tangent English translation may be a little more explanatory for doo-daahs like me.
    I'm just going to make note of the pangti's 3 mentions of "medicine", "mantra" and "healing herb" and try to differentiate, so that we can be on the same page.
    Aukadh means to us a variety of 'consumed' prescription medicines let's say...like some capsules/tablets etc.. which are consumed on the advice of a practitioner. In my opinion, I think it's easier to say that the mention of 'medicine' in the translation can be referenced to some physical or acknowledged symptoms that one may experience like a pain, discomfort or weakness etc... 
    Then, on the other hand, we have our problems and pains that are not medical, but are about worry, anxiety, family, relationship, etc.....the usual crappy bothersome ones that deprive our sleep and disrupt our relaxed and calm states.. For these, we go looking for a different kind of remedy..--> the fields of jantar mantars and all that.  AND Yes, Guru Nanak ji is referring to the variety of different mantars that can be prescribed.....like the mantar for this and the mantar for that, .. and different mantars for different people in the family...etc. ..
    Lastly, the mention of "healing herb" ,which I think (I may be wrong!),... is referenced by the translator to distinguish it from healing applications like cream and ointments.  Prescribed herbs and plants that are applied directly to problematic body area like skin, muscle rubs, eye infections and all alike.
     
    Guru Nanak ji is telling is that we don't have to go an play some lottery luck to get the right single curing medicine, mantra or topical med.... but for ALL the problems that our mind may experience,  we need ONLY the ONE-SINGLE name of the ONE-ALMIGHTY.. This name, as per Guru Nanak teachings can be allah, ram, har, kudrat or whatever you refer to him as.  It doesn't matter whether a mantar means ram or har, because Akaal purakh doesn't need a name to label him. Gurbani tells us that even if you write a scribe with all the possible names for him: it could never be long enough to do any justice and the scriber will just regret.
    So, you did exactly what the pangti tells you not to do. Your minds reaction was to find that correct mantar to help heal yourself from everything.. Guru Nanak ji is saying that "You only have to FOCUS your chit(consciousness) towards the ONE Lord"  To do this then, you may find some mantar helpful. Mantar can be mool mantar, waheguru jap, har har, ram ram, ..anything...   It's just that as per Sikh maryada, we have a designated "waheguru" mantar. This mantar helps keep the uniformity amongst us Sikhs. Even in Guru Nanak ji's time people would claim that their God or their devi/devta was better than the other's.  The last thing we need in today's age is further foolish claims that "my mantra is better than theirs"
    The pangti says to "Darir chit kijai" to "Darir" and make your consciousness "pakkah" and permanent in the ONE lord, and him only.
     
    Going further to the 2nd line
    ਅਉਖਧ  ਮੰਤ੍ਰ  ਮੂਲੁ  ਮਨ  ਏਕੈ  ਜੇ  ਕਰਿ  ਦ੍ਰਿੜੁ  ਚਿਤੁ  ਕੀਜੈ  ਰੇ  ॥
    A▫ukẖaḏẖ manṯar mūl man ekai je kar ḏariṛ cẖiṯ kījai re.
    O mind, there is only the One medicine, mantra and healing herb - center your consciousness firmly on the One Lord.
     
    ਜਨਮ  ਜਨਮ  ਕੇ  ਪਾਪ  ਕਰਮ  ਕੇ  ਕਾਟਨਹਾਰਾ  ਲੀਜੈ  ਰੇ  ॥੧॥
    Janam janam ke pāp karam ke kataṇhārā lījai re. ||1||
    Take to the Lord, the Destroyer of the sins and karma of past incarnations. ||1|| 
    I tend to see it as what it tells us directly. -That the paaps and sins from all our previous janams and the paaps from the past in this lifetime can also be wiped if we darir our consciousness and make it 'pakkah' in the single Almighty Akaal Purakh.  That itself is ANOTHER healing and aukhaad we need but we never ask for. We only ask for the medicine-dwaiyee, mantar and healing balms mentioned in the 1st pangtee....the  "needs" our mind tells us for the Here and Now. However, we are carrying this heavy weight of bad deeds from janam janam-lifetimes.

    Each action you commit results in karma: a re-action. This can be good karma or bad karma depending on the deed you do
    I think it is possible in some cases to balance out negative karma through good karma (doing good deeds, simran etc) BUT I dont think it is all deeds that can be cancelled out. And it also depends on your intentions. If your intentions of being good is to erase your negative karma then at the end of the day you're being selfish and it will not have the effect you're hoping for.

    We all seems to be debating (sometimes not upfront but very subtly) that which religion is the best. But The Wise one say that:
    “It is no doubt a good fortune to be born into a religion, but it is a misfortune to die in one.”
    it means that one should strive to go beyond the religion (dogmatic point of view) but at the same time it's good to have some set of rules. i.e a boat (any religion/institution/organization/technique) was supposed to help us to go beyond but unfortunately we've made the boat our business. Now, the main purpose of the boat (which was to help us cross the ocean) has been forgotten but we've learnt the art of making super-advanced boats which can sail all life in the world ocean but don't bother to look for the shore. And then yet there are some, who after reaching the shore has insisted to take the boat to the place. Vah re maya!

    5 Elements, Realization and being Selfless.
    Below is some explaining and understanding about what realization actually means and why the concern with 5 elements. Important to understand what 5 elements represent and what is not made from these 5 tat. I've not used any other references except for Gurbani quotes, so all errors are mine and I stand corrected.
     
     Everything made of the 5 tat is in constant change, moment to moment, in a continual flux of motion. This is what contributes to kaal and time. This is also what our mind perceives as the 'Reality'. The surroundings and the 5 tat maya,that existence is enveloped in, is perceived as the “Reality”

    Q: But if the 5 tat maya is the reality, then what is realization?
    A: Funny, because "realization" is actually realizing, that the reality perceived by our mind is Not the reality, and Not the truth.
     
    Realization = Realizing that reality, as we know it, is NOT actually real
    -Why?
    Because the Truth is aad jugaad,hai bhi, hosi,,,,, He always was, always is and will always remain "as is" Truth does not change. He is not in constant variation or shift. He stays as he always was and always will be

    Kabir ji says..
    ਨਾ ਓਹੁ ਬਢੈ ਨ ਘਟਤਾ ਜਾਇ ॥
    Nā oh badẖai na gẖatṯā jā▫e.
    God does not increase or decrease.
     
    ਅਕੁਲ ਨਿਰੰਜਨ ਏਕੈ ਭਾਇ ॥੩॥
    Akul niranjan ekai bẖā▫e. ||3||
    He is unknowable and immaculate; He does not change. ||3||

     
    Q:Why does the MInd perceive the reality as the changing maya that is made of 5 tat?
    A:Because the Mind itself is made of 5 tat (non-spiritualists won't get what man tu jyot saroop hai really means)

    Gurbani confirms what I'm saying-

    ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਪੰਚ ਤਤੁ ਤੇ ਜਨਮਾ ॥
    Ih man pancẖ ṯaṯ ṯe janmā.
    This mind is born of the five elements.

     
    The unchanging "truth" our almighty lord Waheguru, is NOT made of 5 elements. Gurbani also tells us-

    ਰੂਪੁ ਨ ਰੇਖ ਨ ਪੰਚ ਤਤ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਅਬਿਨਾਸ ॥੨॥
    Rūp na rekẖ na pancẖ ṯaṯ ṯẖākur abinās. ||2||
    He has no form or outline, and He is not made of the five elements; our Lord and Master is imperishable. ||2||

    Beloved Kabirji confirms. The mind is in constant change and living off the 5 elements in maya-

    ਇਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਪੰਚ ਤਤ ਕੋ ਜੀਉ ॥
    Ih man pancẖ ṯaṯ ko jī▫o.
    This mind is the life of the five elements

    We are changing and everything in the universe, under the influence of 5 tats, is also changing. But behind all of this somewhere is the unchanging "ultimate reality".... the True one, the all knower and the doer.

    Q; How do we find this True one that knows all?
    By lifting this veil of 5 tats that makes the mind and everything that it perceives.
    This is where we have to try and "stop" or "still" the changing mind. To still is to move to this nothingness where there is no "I" (remember the "I'' is always changing) ...the "I" is the ego.

    To become SELFLESS through realizing the absence of real ego, is the practice of all paths.
    Find the UNCHANGING reality, the True Reality, the True Jyot. Here there is no "I" that exists, there is no ego....this is what is called being selfless.

    Kabir ji says-

    ਜਹ ਕਛੁ ਅਹਾ ਤਹਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਪੰਚ ਤਤੁ ਤਹ ਨਾਹੀ ॥
    Jah kacẖẖ ahā ṯahā kicẖẖ nāhī pancẖ ṯaṯ ṯah nāhī.
    Where something existed, now there is nothing. The five elements are no longer there.


    Every path or faith tells us to forget about Ego in order to "become more spiritual" or more 'Sikh" However, ordinary followers ignore this injunction because the task seems way too difficult. As a result, these followers identify with their physical bodies or with their thoughts or experiences and mistakenly take this "other" as their true self.

    The 2nd reason that followers can't become selfless is because they do not know how to detach from the seductive pull of 5 tat maya.
    Gurbani tells us to detach and disassociate from maya, which actually stems from detaching away from the 5 tats that are not only in what we perceive around us, but also in what makes up our "running in 10 directions" mind. They don't understand the process of purifying, the japna to get away from the "forever changing" 5 tat maya àto the non-changing stillness and truth.
    They become at loss when it comes to the task of spiritual cultivation. I say "cultivation" because Gurbani pangtees about sowing and reaping seeds, are not all about karams, (wont cross-reference here now to go off current discussion.) they are also about the spiritual practice efforts you make and the gurprasad grace that will follow. Gurprasad and grace doesn't come from 'above to à down'  if you've no efforts of going from 'down to àabove'
    Don’t fool yourself thinking that gurprasad grace can just come down from above if you sit cross-legged and hath-johr(hands folded), without making an ounce of effort to raise your awareness and consciousness!


    This brings me to another area of different discussion that also stems from the same 5 tat-changing-selves,...and that is "mukhti" or liberation.  Real Mukhti is to be FREE from the 5 tat existence of change. Free from the changing and repeating cycles of birth and death. Liberated from the changing 5 element maya.
     
    The 5 elements have to be mastered before you can be free of them. You can do them in any order but out of Air, Water, Wind, Earth and Ether(space/akash), .Earth is the most difficult because our hair, fingernails, bones and earth kapra of physical body is the most dense. The least dense and the most flexible is the Air. The air corresponds to the prana in terms of it’s movement and Gurmat advises that we start here.

    Japo Saas saas simro gobind,
    saas saas to master that first element/tat of Air because it is the least dense and easiest one to master and separate from.
     
    Air is also what came first before material creation from Primal void of Sunn, Gurbani says…
     
    ਪਉਣੁ  ਪਾਣੀ  ਸੁੰਨੈ  ਤੇ  ਸਾਜੇ  ॥
    Pa▫uṇ pāṇī sunnai ṯe sāje.
    From this Primal Void, He fashioned air and water.
    Thus, it is very possible to do the reversible and enter Sunn Samadhi by mastering and separating from the Air. This is a key approach we use in simran to go into sunn from that cross-legged, hath-johr position.
     
    Air is the Guru of maya, since "pavan guru, pane pitaa, mata dharth.mahaat” and Air

    Shame on those people who are justifying killing of an innocent human, using the Masand historical event. 
    Sri Satguru jee forgave the sins of those Masands. Do these people have the power to kill someone, forgive all their sins and take them to Sachkhand?

    agreed. Truth is very few people have Guru Saheb as a Living Guru in their experience. 
    Just Imagine, if a Singh could talk like that in the presence of Guru Gobind Singh Ji maharaj darbar?
    And another reality is that all the realized mahapurush that we know of never took any positions of jathedari etc.
    Once Akalis came to influence Baba Nand SIngh Ji to get him into his party. He turned them away.
    I guess its a working reality that once you are involved in a religio-political scene things are going to get dirty...but it should not be done in Maharajs Hazoori.  You can have a separate press conference & choose words wisely.
    Now just imagine, if a secret agency kills either dhumma, panthpreet or dhunda... they can get both ranjit singh & amrik singh into trouble , and clear the playing field of main players.
    One has to be very wise with choosing words.

    There must be a vetting system in place so people like this dont just get up and stage and talk jibberish .
