Sometimes when I'm lying in bed waiting to fall asleep I feel really intense energy coursing through my arms, legs and sometimes chest. Has anyone else
experience this?

hi baba
what i experience before falling asleep, i describe as a change in brain wave frequency, a change in state of consciousness ~ perhaps a similar thing described differently? ~ ~

Intense energy through the legs and feet, yes. Hot feet, very hot feet -notably between the 11:00 and midnight hour. Often I will have to get up and run them
under cold water. Once usually does the trick. Anything like this for you??

This happens to me, too. Sometimes it keeps me from falling asleep. A hot bath helps a little. I want to try the letting go suggestion.

i'm now less likely to see it as something to deal with
and instead welcoming what is going on in my inner space... i'm realizing that any discomfort is the "stuff" inside blocking what is a beautiful, powerful energy... the stuff needs to go and not the energy... lil |

It's a side effect of exposure to latin rhythms, Babak. More salsa dancing should do the trick!
Just kidding. I haven't experienced anything like that. But the more latin music, the better...that's always good advice. |

I feel the vibration mostly at night as I am settling down and I love the feeling. Some times I direct to where it feels like I need it.

It sounds like the flow of Reiki, to me.. One of my before bed rituals: I have an Epsom salt bath, candle light...chant om in the tub with my ears in the water
for 3 minutes....oil or lotion rub/tap/slap/brush the body from head to toe, then with the headphones, listen to a cd of Erich leading a meditation when he was
at Feather Pipe Ranch...meditate...then lie down with a bolster under the knees, eye pillow and off to watching the breath and muscles realign, release and
relax....
try it you might like it...this helps facilitate more ease with the energy lines neutralizing itself. Sweet dreams Frangipani

Frangipani, your bedtime ritual sounds wonderful.
I feel the energy at night too, often most vibrant at the back of the neck, upper back and chest. Somtimes I wake in the night and feel it and sometimes it is as I go off to sleep. It seems to be happening with more frequency . It's good to hear how others experience it --have previously wondered if I was imagining it

The last few night have really been something. I wonder what specifically triggers the amping up. You are surely not imaging it, Jeannette . .

Last night it was my head, like a little troop of ants running barefoot under my scalp. All night! But mostly the intense energy is through
the leg lines -hot hot feet . . Anyone else get this?, hot feet? |

I've experienced it too! It's like being tapped into the universe...lovely. I'm going to try to send it where I need it.

Goodness, I know that feeling -this feeling is more like finally being tapped into my BODY, and discovering that somehow my body is on fire . .

So Casey, are we same the same thing or two different things? I've always wondered about this. Like if I see the ocean as the color blue is the blue I
see the same blue that you see? I would love to hear what you think...

Susan--I would love to hear what YOU think!
My view is rather quantum-like in regard to perspective.. Meaning, in using your example, the ocean is nothing until I look at it, at which point it is what I am saying it is--what I am seeing is what I am saying it is . . And, yes, this will in some instances and in some ways align with what you are saying it is, yet it some ways it will not, therefore what you see and what I see will always be in some way unique. Specially because we are seeing with our beingness, with who we are as individuals - in relationship - and you in relationship with the ocean is not the (exact) same as me in relationship with the ocean. In this way, the experience you enjoy will always enhance me, and vice-versa, infinitely.. your turn!--how do you see this? . |

Casey,
I see it in a similar way. Since everything is energy things are going on whether I see/sense them or not. My filter, state of mind and location give me unique perspective but not the only perspective. If I stay open I can experience what you experience more closely. If we're both open the experience is more tightly shared. If I shut down I can only experience from my limited point of view...more so if we're both shut down. I think it's the same or similar for plants and animals because I've communicated with both. Right now, discussing this with you, I feel like I see it a little bit my way and a little bit your way which is joyful to me! I think it's time to make another pitcher of virtual lemonade! |
