Heart pounding & feeling like orgasming during meditation & self-inquiry

[Some Fella]

Does anyone else have experience with these phenomena? I remember in Leo's self-inquiry video he says something along the lines of "don't stop when your heart starts pounding - that's enlightenment!" Are these indeed symptoms that lead up to awakenings? They do feel like they are building up to something, but always seem to subside & gradually pass away without really leading anywhere.

More details: Accompanied by feelings of anxiousness & sometimes goosebumps & hands feeling to suddenly going numb/cold (especially when I notice something deeper about reality/become more conscious of non-duality - i.e. immediately during or following the realisation).

Thanks ?

Yep, the 'gateless gate'

I have a sort of fear that comes over me and it's like a cow that's lived in a tiny cage it's whole life being placed in an infinite beautiful field.... I'm working gently melting into it and I know these feelings of fear will come up.
