Hi,
I had a weird incident just now. I went to have lunch with colleagues at a canteen. In the moment when I reached to get my plate above the glass counter the entire glass counter broke into small pieces on its own without anyone touching it. It litterally exploaded sending glass flying around in all directions. I am not saying it is related to the yoga but it is just weird. 
Hi Lili
When the glass broke - in that instant - in that shock:
What was in your awareness?
Good to hear that you are still safe, Lili. Exploding glass can be deadly.
Hi Katrine,
I canāt recall the exact moment but I think I was either not thinking at all or thinking about pretty mundane things nothing really special. However it was really strange the whole sound of this big thing that blew up in the middle of a boring office lunch the pieces everywhere this is what I recall.
Thanks Scott. Yes there must be a physics-based reason for such things happening eventhough this glass was not under pressure and noone touched it. I was lucky none of the pieces that flew off hit my eyes or something because this would be horrible. I was standing right next to it with both hands and the plate above this thing.
So in that instant āthe boring lunchā was replaced by āno wordsā after the explosion 
It left an impression on you, Lilly - you had a taste of Now right then. Thatās probably why you write us about itā¦something happened that your mind cannot grasp. But you grasped it.
I heard david wolf talk about randomness. Supposedly, there have been tests done which can demonstrate that there is no such thing as random.
You see that movie āThe Coolerā? In this movie there is a guy called a cooler who goes to places in any casino to jinx the hot action. Just his presence is enough to mess up anyoneās luck.
The message behind that is consciousness is always affecting something.
Iām sure the glass wouldāve broke if someone else approached it, but maybe not everyone.
No matter what, like said above, physics should be able to explain it.
Very well put about the boring lunch and the no words
No initially I thought it might have a connection with yoga but now I think it is more of a coincidence with scientific explanation and I should not be bothering you with this.
Weāre not bothered, Lili.
Some feel that coincidence is an illusion, or was that illusion was a coincidence, I canāt remember the movie!
Yes but I think I fell into the trap of linking everything that happens to the yoga practice. For instance a few months ago I forgot my travel pass at home and happened to be on a tram where 2 ticket controllers were checking peopleās tickets. It happened that both of them found one passanger without a ticket each and got off before checking me which is very unlikely event. I thought this one was related to the yoga and so on and so on but I donāt think I should be flooding the forum with these things which are neither practices nor a big deal. Conclusion for me: think before starting a new topic
Lili,
I think one thing is relevant ā that Yoga does often seem to stimulate belief in magical explanations. In some cases, it is just a phase a person goes through. Sometimes, they never get out of it.
The phenomenon you have experienced is a phenomenon well-known to glass-blowers and many physicists. The glass wasnāt manufactured properly; it was cooled too quickly from the molten state.
I agree Lili, I donāt think this had anything to do with Yogaā¦ however for the brief moment your heart stoppedā¦ did it not? That brief shock that the heart got is what made you write this. I cannot explain it reallyā¦ but I know what everyone here is trying to say and what you were trying to sayā¦ but sometimes itās hard to find the words.
I was driving a few months backā¦ on my way back home from workā¦ it was a red light and on the lane next to me, there was two carsā¦ another car came from behind and was in full speedā¦ and it hit this car next to me so hard. I have never seen a accident happenā¦ my heart just stoppedā¦ it was so scary. I remember the guy in the car that got hit had a red t-shirt and I can see the look on his faceā¦ it was so quick but bamā¦ so hardā¦ and yet it happened like in slow motionā¦ I remember how it shook my heartā¦ just the shockā¦ still gives me the shiversā¦
Hi Lili,
By all means start a topic when you observe something that you think is abnormal and may have something to do with yoga. EVen a skeptic like me would be interested and open to anything weird, though I may not believe it fully all the time 
But at the same time your preference to scientific explanations, when there are some, safe me from being irritable. ā¦Iām somehow joking, though I do sometimes feel compulsive to give a scientific explanation to something that looks extraordinary and/or to point out how careless some conclusions areā¦ well, a reaction that is irrational enough since it never do me any good 
I am not discussing whether what happened was a coincidence or not - I am simply saying that what happened wasā¦crash/bangā¦and then :
SILENCE.
Silence is yoga.
One.
every experience has been created by the experiencer, big and small. Just like there are scientific explanations for why and how one gets a glass of water, there are vibrational reasons for the whyās and howās you got the water too. The vibrational level is more important than the physical dynamics too.
If that happened on me, my heart would be bumping hard that itās hardly silence, even though my mouth would certainly shut for a while!
Lili, did you count how many pieces it broke into? Iām not familiar with the phenomenon, so I can only rely on thought experiments. (which could very well be wrong): after an initial crack the great tension should get a big relief so not too many pieces should be foundāunless the type of glass is super-brittle and have not the least of extendability and the tension is really huge.
May I also know the brand of the glasses so that we wonāt buy it in the future? Hope itās not rude to you
Alvin if you are curious, the āPrince Ruperts dropsā are based on unannealed ( not sufficiently-slowly cooled) glass and are described here:

For future reference, lili, feel free to ask such questions.
Thanks David, very interesting.
Hi Lili,
Not here, but I have been in very intense discussions where glass shattering with or without reason, being saved by the skin of teeth in an accident, etc. happened to a number of practitioners very, very often. There was a link to yoga ā¦ glass breaking was related to some negative energy directed at you taken by the glass, and being saved in an accident was also the positive result of your practices giving you āprotectionā. Of course this is debatableā¦ I was sceptical till two practitioners, one my husband, were so miraculously saved in a common attack by thugs, that only a hardened sceptic would doubt divine intervention. I do believe that practitioners are āprotectedā in some manner. Look at your glassā¦ it went flying in all directionsā¦ mustāve been difficult to miss you.
