This sounds like a very cool experience! Something similar happened to me during my meditation. I think what happened was somehow parts of the brain got activated or integrated in some way. I found very interesting explanation and description in Jill Bolte Taylor's interview by Oprah. Many people probably have heard of her. This Harvard brain neuroscientist suffered a stroke where her left brain got damaged and she basically functioned with her right brain, which triggered the most profound experiences that's similar to awakened state. It is a very fascinating account of the whole event that lasted weeks.

Suzanne Segal, ahthor of the book " Collision with the Infinite," one day just out of the blue felt like she turned into this observer of her self from about one step behind herself to watch everything she did. She also had very profound experiences and realizations with the event. But finally she past on from a brain tumor. But her book really is an inspiration to read.

Meditation can trigger this change in our brain as well. A lot of studies have proved the dramatic shift in areas of brains that have to do with learning, positive mood, spacial and temporal awareness,......Perhaps somehow the use of joint trigger the change in your brain.

Anyway, this is one of the best things in life to encounter. I have basically told myself that I have got what I am here to learn/discover this life.

Then it occurred to me that I can do more OBEs to explore this immense universe!!
