During my meditation I often experience twitching and body jerks that come at different times during the process. I don't feel I'm a stressed person, but I do feel more relaxed during the day since I have been regularly doing this discipline. I practice once each morning.
One aspect of using this meditation I have found found quite interesting , and I have used other meditation styles in the past, and in a way quite comforting is a body reaction as follows; I will be in to the process, and going well, with the 'Mantra' repeating itself in my mind, I know when this is working well, because it sounds like its my mind saying the 'Mantra, to me, someone else talking. The really interesting effect I've been having lately is ... I start by feeling a type of swaying, rocking motion from in my mind which gradually progresses builds to a more physical swaying, rocking motion. This can go for quite some time, five or ten minutes, then builds in intensity and sometimes follows with bigger twitches and jerks. Sometimes I rock sway sideways and other times forward and backwards ... sometimes I do both. On some occasions I feel my total body swaying from side to side in small increments separately at Different levels from my toes to my head.
The most interesting movements are when my head turns from side to side quite quickly and with force, almost like a bad movie where the persons head turns around in circles. My head hasn't done this yet thankfully. This all seems to happen from quietly starting and finishing in a crescendo and then finally everything stops quietly by itself where I sit for a few minutes ... relax and come back to waking reality.
I am interested to know your interpretation of these effects I'm having. I wonder if I am doing the meditation for too long at times. There are times when I've been meditating for about two hours, is this too long to be relaxed like this ... it doesn't feel to me that its too long to be doing it. In fact while all these effects of swaying, jerking and body effects are taking place it feels as if I am going through a type of self healing process ... or maybe I'm just going nuts ... falling apart.
I look forward to your thoughts on my experiences.
