Energy penomena: "needle sting" & jerk

Hi,

despite the hypnagogic jerks I mentioned [url:12gfmyvk]http://kennethfolkdharma.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26[/url:12gfmyvk], I experience another energy phenomenon:

The last one I just had was that I felt something which is similar to being stung by a needle for a split-second.
This happened at my knee on the surface/skin.
At the same time my torso jerked a bit, I think it were the muscles in my back which contracted.

Any idea?

Hi Sven,
these sensations are standard. They typically occur in the manner you describe. I was once "stabbed" in the torso and flew over the floor. Another time (typcial A&P) my legs flapped so much from spasms that I had to lean towards a wall in order to stay on cushion while meditating. I suggest that you pay no attention to these energy phenomena.

I experienced a huge zap in my foot yesterday. It was like being shocked and my foot flew up involuntarily quite violently. Like Max said, I just ignored it. All kinds of weird stuff happens the more you meditate. If you like these types of experiences I recommend kasina practice. It is very surprising the things that appear in your visual field with your eyes wide open.

Thanks for the replies. I am also not concerned in any way despite curiosity.
