What Do I Do With Trembling In Meditation?

[WaterfallMachine]

I was having a short meditation retreat — meditating more than usual (which is an hour) for 3 days in my humble home. 

 And while practicing Kundalini meditation, I noticed my breath deepening. Usually it's 4 seconds in and 4 seconds out in my belly. But now it's a full 8 seconds each. I felt a shaking in my torso. Even my head would start twitching. And so would my arms. And as I continue, the shaking slowly became more violent. 

And I felt joy. Not even the kind of joy I believe was possible to experience in life. It feels like I have so much energy and my body doesn't know how to adjust to it — and so I start shaking. Maybe I'll just go start running after I post this. . It's gone now but I still feel energy in me. 

What do I do? What is this? Why is this happening?

What do I do?

"If you are doing the Kundalini Meditation, allow the shaking – don't do it! Stand silently, feel it coming, and when your body starts a little trembling, help it, but don't do it! Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don't will it.

"If you force, it will become an exercise, a bodily physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there, but just on the surface. It will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stonelike, rocklike within. You will remain the manipulator, the doer, and the body will only be following. The body is not the question, you are the question.

"When I say shake, I mean your solidity, your rocklike being should shake to the very foundations, so it becomes liquid, fluid, melts, flows. And when the rocklike being becomes liquid your body will follow. Then there is no shaker, only shaking; then nobody is doing it, it is simply happening. Then the doer is not.

"Enjoy it, but don't will it. And remember, whenever you will a thing you cannot enjoy it. They are reverse, opposites; they never meet. If you will a thing you cannot enjoy it, if you enjoy it you cannot will it."

Deep breathing awakens energy. Once your energy is building, it will begin to move your body. Allow these body movements to be there.

It's suppressed emotions surfacing, feel it/the body. And the above is good advice.
