Vibrations and self pacing

[gkrheera]

I have been having vibrations running from my spine to my head for a long time (amplified after I started AYP). Tried self pacing a lot but they just refuse to die down.
The only option was stopping to meditate.So when I stop meditation they go away only to return back when I start meditating. I do yogasanas, nauli followed with AYP method of pranayam (spinal breathing, dynamic jalandhara,bhastrika) and 20 min meditation. Same routine twice a day.
The vibrations are very intense during meditation (each vibration lasts for anywhere between 2 - 5 secs). Sometimes I feel like I am thrown off the floor. My observation is that this is also caused by certain people, environment, words/sounds or certain talk. The vibrations are actually pleasurable.
Has anyone had such experience(s) and any tips on dealing with it?

The thing I hate about it is sitting in a meeting at work and having this vibration take over me (my whole body visibly shrudders).

Lately I have seen that I make this happen voluntarily by shifting my focus to the base of my spine and feeling the energy trickle up the spine and there is a mild energy discharge through my hands. The energy wave from the base of my spine terminates somewhere behind my forehead (ajna area). This voluntary energy buildup is very mild compared to the one I have involuntarily.

maybe you could try cutting out all other practices except for meditation.
I'm assuming you're doing ayam meditation, and see if that helps.
Or cut down the amount of time of meditation. Some people have had to cut meditation down to once a day, and only a few minutes for a while.

Hi Heera,

Yes, Etherfish's advice is good. If you study AYP Lesson 69 http://www.aypsite.com/plus/69.html the main recommendation is actually to keep at least some spinal breathing and meditation, but maybe reduce them to as little as 5 minutes of pranayama and 10 minutes of meditation, if needed. But this much reduction may not be necessary in your case, I would reduce some of the more advanced practices first. Yogani refers to spinal breathing as one of the best means there is to stabilize energy imbalances and kundalini surges.

Thanks for your advice.
I have actually tried various combinations of cutting down time and dropping parts of practice with limited results. Usually it returns when I take up meditation again. The experience is a mild annoyance in the whole scheme of practices which I am hoping will go away soon.
I am planning to take up Tai chi which Yogani refers to as a very grounding exercise. Will post how it affects me.
