I would really enjoy hearing other peoples experiences with
involuntary movements during meditation. Do you do more than just
twitch or wobble? Do you recieve messages? Please share your
expereinces with me. I have awakened to a rather strong energy
that creates full-body movements. I also, in my minds eye, feel
a great sense of mirroring of myself...in other words, I can
feel, with great intensity, out of body...or reflective image
of myself. This expansive feeling gives me a strange knowing
that I am sitting beside myself, or even, I am sitting behind me facing the opposite direction - does this make sense?
Namaste, Stacey |

Hi Stacey,
Welcome to the forum.
Automatic Yoga has been discussed in these topics.
involuntary movement during meditation
and
neck movement
And the witness state has been talked about in this topic.
losing control/ witnessing thoughts in meditation
Yogani covers it in his lesson Lesson 122 - Q&A – Witnessing
You have awesome experiences Stacey. Like Carson and Katrine said in the other topic, it may help to add meditation.
Lesson 13 - Meditation -- Awakening the Silent Seed
Find a quiet, comfortable place where you can sit, preferably with back support. We want to remove unnecessary distractions. Just sit and relax somewhere where you can close your eyes for twenty minutes without interruptions.
Once you have gotten comfortable, slowly close your eyes. You will notice thoughts, streams of thoughts. That is fine. Just observe them without minding them. After about a minute, gently introduce the thought …I AM… and begin to repeat it easily and effortlessly in your mind. If your mind wanders off into other thoughts, you will eventually realize this has happened. Don't be concerned about it. It is natural. When you realize you are not repeating the mantra, gently go back to it. This is all you have to do. Easily repeat the mantra silently inside. When you realize you are not thinking it, then easily come back to it. The goal is not to stay on it. The goal is to follow the simple procedure of thinking the mantra, losing it, and coming back to it when you find you have lost it. Do not resist if the mantra tends to become less distinct. Thinking the mantra does not have to be with clear pronunciation. I AM can be experienced at many levels in your mind and nervous system. When you come back to it, come back to a level that is comfortable, not straining for either a clear or fuzzy pronunciation.
Do this procedure for twenty minutes, and, then, with your eyes closed, take a few minutes to rest before you get up.
This practice is to be done twice each day, before you start your day and before you begin your evening activities. It is best done before meals, as digestion can interfere with the process of meditation. Make a commitment to yourself to do it for a few months. Give it some time to work. You will be amazed at the results, and then you will want to keep going forward to more and more.
Wish you all the best Stacey.
