Tensing Up, Throwing My Arms Up During Self-inquiry.

[The White Belt]

I tense up in places, and I throw my arms up in the air involuntarily.

Do you think it's normal. Because I don't. What happened exactly.

It's not trolling. I really don't think it's normal. I never got this during self inquiry or meditation.

Who is throwing the hands up?

@Loreena lol. Well I'm doing my thing, inquiring about my sensations, and then this thought comes that asks something like 'where is this space that all sensations arise into?' And then I have this strange little involuntary movements, including throwing my arms in the air and hyperventilating through my nose.

Ok

@BeginnerActualizer Just my 2 cents worth but it sounds like it could be a form of resistance. Maybe your on the verge of a breakthrough but instead that happens and therefore stops the breakthrough from happening. The subconscious can be sneaky.

Sometimes when I am still sleeping, but also half awake, I see myself doing some symmetrical movements with my hands / feels like im sleephanddancing.

I also start throwing my entire body here and there sometimes.

Maybe it's the same thing

Do we need exorcism ???

So if I am sleeping beside you, you will kick me.

I am gentle, but I have freaked out one of my exs once. My hand was standing by itself upwards in a really creepy position ???

This is actually what I thought, but I didn't want to get ahead of myself. Maybe I'm about to 'experience' no-self but my ego makes a way of pulling my into the body. Any idea how to combat this?

@BeginnerActualizer youre not supposed to leave the body.

Be in the body as much as you can. What youre experiencing are changes in your nervous system adjusting to a new, more "enlihhtened" perspective.

If you try to combat this you will only prolong it.

@BeginnerActualizer Step outside your safety zone and put everything on the faith that there is something much bigger than you. Allow it to consume you.

@Martin123 @cetus56 Thanks amigos!

Actually you don't have to do anything with it. If it is resistance, it's ok. If it is release, it is ok.

[cetus]

@BeginnerActualizerNo problemo! Just stay with it! It will happen.
