Stange energy in my body while I meditate.

[Bodhidharma]

   Hey guys, I started meditating again three weeks ago and in the first one something really strange happened to me. I was trying to focus on my breath and all of the sudden my head started to bounce left to right WITHOUT any effort. It was really pleasing at the time and I was smiling all along. Later then I perceived that I can control it if I want with my will or my breath.

    Then, I searched the reason for this and I found lots of different answers like, chakra, kundalini awakening, healing energy. The thing is that I don't know what the heck is this because there's so many different perspectives and this is why I am writing this topic, to see you guys view on this stuff. Any ideas???

I get it quite often, more like clockwise spin, but sometimes left-right or front-back like this.

  Yeah, its really like these but less intense, my body also shakes a lot if I'm not concentrating much. But anyways, do you know what is this?

Also have that.

I think it's in the same category as stretching automatically when you wake up for example or when you yawn, they also feel good.

I guess it's a side effect of the emotional system, the nervous system

its not harmful though, unless its painful, so theres nothing to worry about

[YaNanNallari]

There are indeed many traditions and approaches that fill each other out. You can't study all of them at once, so look at what you're interested at, if you're interested in them at all. Try to stay away from going too deep with one route it will fix everything though. But yeah that stuff can be interesting and fun to learn about, even if often overly fancy.

haha, same here, but that stopped after a while, only the shaking remained ... both of them really annoying.

phenomena arises & passes without your will. Buddha had said Pleasant experiences causes more suffering than unpleasant sensations because the mind tends to cling to the pleasant phenomena with great subtlety. Practice Equanimity

I've also had the exact same situation, that means that I am making progress and my months of meditation are working, good to know

        That's seems very true from my experience, sometimes I get a extremely pleasing sensation on the top of my head and I get so clinged to it that I forgot to stay concentrated.

Keep it up! It is a sign that you are connecting with your higher self, and surrendering deeper than usual. Whatever happens, even if you meet God almighty, keep focusing on your breathe! That will take you all the way, and then to even greater levels of evolution. Eventually the breathe will take you to the heart, so consider focusing on the rising and falling of your chest rather than the breathe in and out your nose for the most accelerated results.
