I have been meditating under a copper pyramid. Just a few months ago, I hung a very large copper pyramid over my bed and I sleep underneath it every night. I also sleep with many different types of crystals, including amethysts. Last night, I opened my eyes in the middle of the night and had a hard time believing what I was seeing. At the top of the pyramid, I saw a swirling vortex of energy with tiny pieces of matter swirling within it. It was kind of like a tornado but not as fast or organized. I have to say it scared me a little, and I really try not to be afraid because I don't want it to stop. I would like to see as much as I can to develop and progress. I speak to my angels and spirit guides all the time. What do you believe I saw, and what was the message I was receiving? I'd appreciate any insight or advice you may have. I'm worried that my progress may be delayed because I showed that I was frightened.

What you saw was a physical manifestation of the energy you have called to you, around you and from within you. Sort of like a tornado
is a perfect description of that manifestation of Light and Energy that was trapped inside your copper pyramid.
Many people experience the feeling of that small tornado of energy, but because they don't have an energy trap over where they sleep, they don't ever get to view it in the way you did. This will happen again and again as long as you keep your copper pyramid over your bed.
You don't have to fear anything from this force, though it's natural to feel a little uneasy the first time something really unusual happens! Nothing EVIL was going on here or you would have known it and been able to figure out how to deal with it.
Psychic sight is the hardest thing to develop for many people, but evidently you have it naturally or you wouldn't have known to approach your spiritual development the way you have. To hone your skills in that area, the most important thing you can do is practice.
One of the easiest ways to connect with Spirit is to set aside the same time every day to make an effort. Such exercises can be very wearying and require a lot of focus, so you might not want that time to be right before you go to work or right before you go to sleep at night.
I have found the best times to be very early in the morning, between five and six a.m. My best friend says she gets up at three a.m. every morning, does her meditations for an hour, and then goes back to sleep until she has to get up to go to work. If you can do something like that, great. I find that the energy I receive from the early morning sessions would prevent me from going back to sleep peacefully, but everyone is different.
Evening hours pose a problem because most of us have family and other responsibilities. I have one friend who calls her guides while she walks her dog down a quiet street. I have another who meditates in the car, but I don't advise you do that while driving!
Be sure to keep a notebook of all your experiences, bad and good. A vortex of energy is important. Now that you have tapped into that, you can learn to use it for the things you want to do. As far as the meaning of these experiences, they are all so personal that they probably only make real sense to your Guides and you.

Your experience sounds fascinating. Copper pyramids are known for their ability to foster spiritual powers and create a vortex through which one can pass through into other dimensions. It sounds like you had a breakthrough, and what you witnessed was an opening or portal to another realm.
Pyramids were developed in ancient Egypt, and one of their purposes is to enhance spirit communication. They are geometrically aligned with the stars and planets, and have been used for centuries as the perfect shape of container to foster the attainment of great spiritual abilities.
Pyramids have come back into use in recent times. Many believe that a pyramid made out of copper is the ideal conductor to connect with our own inner resources and to create an open vortex through which we can move into alternate dimensions. Because copper promotes inner and outer harmony and balance, it is considered the ideal material from which to construct a pyramid.
Scientifically, pyramids have been proven to speed oneÃs growth, boost one's energy and prolong oneÃs life. They promote larger and more vibrant auras, and are ideal for meditating and sleeping under.
Sleeping with crystals is also an effective way to strengthen your aura and elevate your energy centers. Because you are working with both of these transformational tools, you will continue to see and experience more and more of these amazing phenomena.
Fear won't slow your progress. In fact, fear can be beneficial, as often when we first experience these awakenings, we want to rush ahead to move to the next level. Trust that your hesitation or fear is your body's and spirit's way of helping you pace yourself. The human body can only take so much spiritual energy, so it's important to develop new abilities gradually.
Our energy centers must be aligned and strengthened before we can transmute ourselves from physical into spiritual matter, which is essential if we are to transcend the physical in order to spend more time in the spiritual realms we want to explore.
If you continue to sleep and meditate under this pyramid, your abilities will grow as you become stronger. Soon you will be able to connect with other spirits and astral project into other dimensions. This will bring you greater understanding and enable you to live more effectively in both the physical world and other realms.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
