Astral Achievement?

I just completed a practice session to try and AP. During, I used a shamanic meditation with a spirit animal and it led me to a tree. I know that shamanic journeying isn't AP. As I focused on this large tree, it appeared to have symbols on it. It was up on a hill with small stone steps leading to it. The steps look old and worn. There was very green grass and at a certain point there was a "barrier" of white light. I couldn't see passed this light but the more focused I placed on the tree, the deeper in thought I became. After a moment it seemed as if there was an explosion in my mind. There was a flash of light and then I could actually see my nose and hair in a first person view. It was all dark but it appeared as if I was standing in water and there were small mounds of earth in the water. I've never experienced the feeling before. It was frightening at first, but I settled in to it and tried to keep my focus on staying in this state. I actually have a lingering numbness at the moment and I can't seem to sleep now. Was this a slightly successful AP or something else? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys! I'm glad people here know what they're talking about and are glad to help people! :P

could you explain what you meant by you saw your nose and hair in first person a bit clearer please? it is possible that you Ap'd to an astral realm, or created your own astral construct/ realm. =]

Well, basically as it says. I could see in first person with my eyes closed. It was as if they weren't even closed.
