Pins and Needles?

Hello everyone, hope you enjoyed the New Year celebrations!

I have a quick question, I have been mediating on and off recently, usually I feel pressure on my crown while mediating.

However tonight I began feeling pins and needles that ran down my side right and onto part of my face, but no crown pressure. I have to say it was probably one of the deepest mediations, at one point I almost felt myself "go" whilst in the mediation if that makes sense.

Was I doing something wrong to be experiencing pins and needles?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Light

Chris

Could I ask you, did the pins and needles kinda sweep over that area, or did the pins and needles happen all over the area at once?

Hi Gem,

I can't remember, it seemed to just appear and it would move between my arm and face, like the sensation would be stronger in my arm then move to my face, and then back to arm. Does that make sense?

Thanks

Chris

Yep, not exactly pins and needles then, coz pins and needles doesn't move around.

I had similar progression of the head tingling... then later on a feeling like moving pins and needles...

It can't be doing something wrong, that sensation just occured and who'd have known that would happen?

My experience is, the meditation causes new sensations that were not noticed before as the mind gets deeper and perceives more subtle body sensations, so it's a positive sign I think.

Thanks Gem, i'll be mediating again in the next day or so. It will be interesting to see if these sensations return or if i'll feel something different :-)

Yes exactly.

One of the problems we can have is desiring something we remember, make an attachment to a pleasent sensation and try to find it again, but you can not find what isn't there, so remain aware of what is.
