I've realized it's not my torso and above and it seems even my cross legged legs are also jerking so the whole body is jerking back and forth in rhythm which started as weak and subtle then gathering its pace until the whole body is jerking back and forth but never violent and I can still stop it.
Sometimes the jerking would not occur though. I'm not sure what actually triggered it. I tried it again just after waking up today and it's there and it wasn't because I was jerking my own body but just now it seems not to be there or I'm not sure if it was me who was jerking my own body. It feels like my natural movement while sitting cross legged on the floor and with my mind focused is jerking back and forth in rhythm.
I'm just looking what could be causing it. I'm not expecting it to be God actually. I'm just afraid of neurological disease or brain damage  |
I'm not a physician by any stretch of the imagination, but I have suffered "permanent" nerve damage resulting from an automobile accident, so I'm somewhat familiar with the processes.
Other than the motion you described (which sounds like spasms), are you experiencing any numbness/loss of feeling, especially in your legs? Have you noticed any recent change(s) in your ability to move (stiffness, pain in your joins, headaches w/dizziness) when NOT engaged in this activity? (In other words, are you aware of changes in how you use your body outside of this particular act?) How is your range of motion for your limbs, neck, head? Important: Have you experienced ANY head injury - at all, no matter how minor - in the last few weeks? Have you a history of head, neck, or spinal injury?
There are a lot of factors involved, and the nervous system is perhaps one of the least understood human physiological structures. If you're truly concerned about this, I would recommend seeing your physician, especially if you answered YES to any of the questions in the above paragraph.
Good luck.
