asymetric body awareness and images

Hi,
I have this strange "sensation" for years, but it has been increasing and I start worrying.
When I close my eyes to meditate, I feel that I only "exist" on my left side of the body. I feel it completely dominating as if the right side of my body dissolved completely. I feel my mind present on the left side of the brain, behind the left eye, in the left side of my body, but it's as if someone cut me in half and the right side disappeared.
Also, when I try to visualize people or objects with my eyes closed, I can only "see" their left side, the right side is always vague, abstract or merely an idea that I "feel", but not a defined detailed shape. Or, most annoying still, sometimes no matter how much I try to "see" the people or objects from the front, they keep turning and showing me just one side or some strange angle from a lateral higher point of view, but hardly the full frontal figure.
I find these so strange. Is it normal?
I'm 31, healthy, never had any serious injuries. Sometimes have migraines, but much much less than in my teens.

I'm sorry, but that's not entirely correct. You may not know, but there are many types of meditation and focusing on your breath is just one among thousands of methods. I actually practice buddhist meditation and in some of the meditations I have to visualize complex images and figures with a specific purpose to the training of my mind. But I was not asking how to meditate, because that I have large experience doing, what I was asking is if it's normal to have such a distinct issue with right and left imaging and body sensations. Thank you anyway for your concern.

Your not suppose to be emagining anything. You are suppose to set the day out and find total relaxation. You are suppose to be concentrating only on your breathing. Not thinking anything at all.
When you get total relaxation you can then ask your angels / spirits to help clear up the problem on the right side of the body.

good luck
