I will illustrate what is happening to me, I can't say direct words or terms to this one, i will try but please help me on this one... it's been 3 weeks that I'm experiencing this weird happening whenever I'm meditating, at first i thought tomorrow it will not happen again but guise 3 weeks? Wtf is happening ?? i can't  meditate still,so this is what happening to me...

my muscle is not relax.. I don't know if muscle is the problem.. but my body is not relax.. hmm? Imagine my muscle flex without my command? You get it? I don't know how to explain it.. hmm? The other explanation i can make is, my muscle goes hard until it shaken because it is involuntarily, you get my point? Or if I'm meditating on a chair because the muscle doing things that is not my control it ,it act of swinging one or both legs freely to and fro in the air while i'm seated (such as on a tall bench or swing) or lying on a hammock

it is fuckin weird.. i know meditating is make you sit and still.. 3weeks and it affects my time of meditation, now my meditation is only 15 minutes.. before i can meditate 50 minutes... no destruction, just do nothing.. I don't have a timer, i dont used to...now i feel this.. all of my body is shaking.. wtf.. i try to sit and observe.. and it gives me cramps wtf dayum!!

You are getting caught up in your thoughts. As long as you think that you are supposed to control your body, you will freak out. Let the body be, even if it was to do that forever. The end will come. The body will end by itself at one point.

It's you really haha,

body is always present mind is not,

go with the body movement,

don't create distance


One’s center is not one’s center, it is the center of the whole. 

And the ego-center is one’s center.

That is the only difference, but that is a vast difference.-

The growth is not a straight line up. It's a path. Let it be, even if it meant giving up meditation forever.

Which meditation technique are you using? It sounds like you might benefit from learning the "do nothing" technique.

Do nothing technique is the one I'm using, that is why what is happening to me while i'm meditating is contradicting...  my body moves in a weird manner.. ?

@John Iverson Try "do nothing" with your eyes open. Just sit down, relax,observe, and do not try to be in control. If your body starts doing random movements just allow it to happen.

@John Iverson I have RLS (restless leg syndrome). It started in my mid 20's. As I got older it expanded into the arms too. It only happens when the body gets really relaxed. If I get a flair up I postpone meditation until it subsides.

Does that ever happen to you any other time or just in meditation?

You can sit very easily when you are doing something else but the moment you are just sitting and doing nothing, it becomes a problem. Every fiber of the body begins to move inside; every vein, every muscle, begins to move. You will begin to feel a subtle trembling; you will be aware of many points in the body of which you have never been aware before. And the more you try to just sit, the more movement you will feel inside you. So sitting can be used only if you have done other things first.

You can just walk, that is easier. You can just dance, that is even easier. And after you have been doing other things that are easier, then you can sit. Sitting in a buddha posture is the last thing to do really; it should never be done in the beginning. Only after you have begun to feel identified totally with movement can you begin to feel totally identified with nonmovement.

So I never tell people to begin with just sitting. Begin from where beginning is easy, otherwise you will begin to feel many things unnecessarily ¯ things that are not there. 
If you begin with sitting, you will feel much disturbance inside. The more you try to just sit, the more disturbance will be felt; you will become aware only of your insane mind and nothing else. It will create depression, you will feel frustrated. You will not feel blissful; rather, you will begin to feel that you are insane. And sometimes you may really go insane.
