I have not meditated for a while and decided to get back into the habit of it. I have a few problems/feelings/urges/sensations that happen now, and even happened back when I used to meditate on a regular basis. I was reading around here and saw something that made me think to post this. I got an answer to the first problem, so I will totally skip mentioning it here. First off, I want to mention that when I meditate I have no problem shutting off my thoughts, or relaxing my body. It actually almost happens instantly.
Ok, so one of the problems that I have is that my whole body gets really tingly. Not just a little bit, but VERY much so to the point that it feels like how it feels when your foot or something falls asleep. Sometimes I even get charlie horses or contractions in my legs. This feeling does not feel good. It makes me want to (and I do) shake my legs or change positions in the middle of the session. This happens to me every single time I meditate, and I just give up after a while of the feeling not going away.
Secondly, and because of this tingly feeling, I am constantly shaking my foot to wake it up a bit or moving my arms or even my whole leg. It is like I can not concentrate on the meditation because I am too focused on trying to shake this (very uncomfortable) sensation.
Something else that happens is that I twitch. These are involuntary twitches, not the shaking I do on purpose. These twitches happen during the tingly feeling only to make me feel even more tingly.
These problems are all due to the tingling feeling, but aside from those things, I also sometimes feel very energetic and get the urge to jump out of bed. This is not so much a problem for me as it is just a feeling. I try to ignore it, but I just wanted to mention it. I also get the urge to cry sometimes, but I know that that happens to some people, so I am not too concerned about trying to fix that either, but I don't like it and when that urge comes, again, I stop- or slow down- the meditation.
Does anyone else get this, or know why I am feeling any of this? Is there something that I am doing wrong or is this normal and I just haven't gotten used to it yet?
Thank you in advance!
