mudras and nerves

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam everyone!

 

On September 19 I had posted about the death of my step-father. I had

also asked a question regarding a strange sensation I felt in my

right hand during meditation. I was finishing a 90 day Ganputi

meditation at the time. And I hadn't experienced that sensation at

all before. I had originally chalked it up to emotional issues or

possibly attempted contact by my step-father. Today is exactly one

month since the accident. And I have that same sensation every time I

meditate. I've begun doing the Smiling Buddha meditation. And that is

done with arms raised to the sides (Ganputi keeps hands on knees). It

doesn't seem to matter if my hands are down and relaxed or held in

the air. I'm thinking maybe something else is going on.

 

The sensation I get starts at my elbow and goes down to my pinkie, in

a straight line. And it feels like it may be a nerve. I've felt prana

in my body and know what that feels like. This doesn't feel like

that. It starts with the feeling running down my forearm until it

reaches my pinkie. Then I get this 'boring' sensation in the pad of

my hand. The feeling is always in the exact same spot, and the area

is very small. It doesn't spread or move around. It will vary with

intensity and lasts anywhere from several minutes, to the entire

length of the meditation. It stops when the meditation ends.

The 'boring' sensation could be prana. It is kind of tingly and I can

feel energy moving in a circular motion, like a drill bit going into

wood. But the original sensation doesn't tingle. It feels like a

nerve ending is being 'excited' or something. Are there any mudras

that may put pressure or something on nerves to cause this? I'm

curious if maybe I'm doing something wrong. And I get this sensation

every time I meditate. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently.

Anyone have any thoughts?
