Hi Christi....
Thank you for your input...sounds pretty reasonable. Was there anything in particular that you did that stopped this from happening or did it just go away on it's own? Can you attribute it to a certain "energetic stage" along the path or do you not know what caused this shaking for you?
Hi solo....
I have not found anything yet that makes any difference to the shaking. At this point I just have to let it run it's course. It usually only lasts around 5 minutes. I have been fairly limited in what I can try to do to end these "fits" at the time they are happening because they ALWAYS happen while I am in the middle of conversation with someone. I usually try my best to hide that it is happening, and I have never had anyone mention it so I don't know if they notice and just don't say anything, or if they just don't notice at all. What I HAVE been able to try is 1. Slow deep calm breaths (doesn't seem to make any difference) 2. Putting on a jacket or blanket (doesn't seem to help, just makes me sweat). Other then that I am usually too involved to do anything that might help. I remember having one of these fits, for example, while having a job interview at the Drop In Center (the homeless shelter). I was explaining to the HR lady about my past, including my drug addictions and my overcoming them with AYPractices, and all of a sudden I am tensed, shaking somewhat violently and having a hard time speaking because of the clenched jaw. It often seems to happen when I am talking about my past or my life experiences now that I think about it. Can't see how this could cause these types of physical symptoms though.
Hi seekingthelight....
I totally agree that there could be an element of anxiety/nervous excitement, but I have a hard time figuring out whether this is a cause or an effect. I know I end up feeling nervously excited while it is happening, but I can't remember if these feelings are there BEFORE the shaking or only during/after. From the times that I can distinctly remember I think the nervous excitement comes during and not before. I will try to remember to watch closely next time this happens though to see if I am wrong.
Hi stevenbhow....
I have experienced phantom cell vibrations lots but these shaking fits are quite different then that. These fits cause uncontrollable muscle clenching for me, and somewhat violent literal "shaking"....it is visible from the outside if you are looking at me closely. And it lasts for a good 5 minutes usually so.....Anywyas, thank you for the well wishes!
Love,
