Mp3 Meditation - A Standing Meditation Experience

I have been using mp3 meditation downloads to assist my meditation technique for quite a while now and, on a whim, decided to see if I could combine my wing chun sil lim tao (small thought/little idea) stance with an isochronic meditation download designed to stimulate my chakras.
The reason this occurred to me is that in my twenty one years of learning wing chun kung fu, I have always been told to "keep your back straight and imagine/feel the energy flowing from the base of your spine to the very top of your head".
The idea being that by relaxing the spine and allowing it to naturally expand, it is possible to create a flow of chi, although my master never called it that, he called it "thought force", and then to direct energy from the spine to any part of the body.
Over time, the energy of your thought fills your body and creates a powerful, relaxed structure.
Blah, blah, boring.
Yes I know.
But, over the years, I have achieved, in small measure, this feeling of energy flowing through my spine and occasionally out into my limbs.
So, with that background, it occurred to me to merge a chakra stimulating mp3 combined with standing meditation as I described above.
I had no idea what, if anything, to expect.
I was alone, in a darkened room, with a comfortable, sleep mask covering my eyes, standing with my feet shoulder width apart, pointing forward and parallel, arms by my side, shoulders relaxed and then I switched on the mp3.
Within a few minutes I became almost unaware of my body.
It was still there and I could find it if I wished, but I really couldn't be bothered.
It seemed to, "soften" is the only way I can describe it.
The phosphenes behind my eyes pulsed and flashed and flowed like auroras.
At one stage they settled into ribbons of white energy.
As the mp3 continued, I became aware that at various times, different colors predominated.
The colors I remember are a deep red, gold, green and white.
Each color had a different aspect in how it manifested itself.
Whether as flashes, points of light, or waves of energy that seemed to pulse along my spine and out to my fingertips.
Bizarre.
Then, slowly, as though I could hear each pulse extended, the mp3 meditation finished and I stood in bright, dark silence for a few moments, unwilling to let go of the feeling.
This was a really interesting and vivid experience.
One which I am going to repeat soon, possibly using different guided meditation downloads to target other areas.
Just to see what happens.
I share this experience of my standing meditation as a personal testimony to the power of binaural and isochronic mp3 meditations to change your mind.
