Hi again everyone
Im trying now phasing methods from Xanth's book ( great book btw I highly recommend ) and I have problem (?) with hypnic jerk.
I have two types
first will randomly occurs like finger micro jump in the middle of session - i dont care about this one it comes and it goes
second one is the one that bother me and it almost always happens when im doing " Noticing " after i dont know 20min of staring into blackness and seeing few random white flashes im drifting away and then boom my head or leg or arm jump ( i don feel falling sensation )
now i dont know :
Is my body doing me a favor because i would fall asleep ( like normal sleep )
or
it prevents me from projection for some reason ? if it is, how can i overcome this ? or how use this for my advantage ?
I dont have these jerks when im going to sleep only ap attempt
And what is interesting [for me] is that this happens only with " Noticing " , when im using "Mental Rundown" (visualization / imagining your self in some scenario to project ) i have only first type of hypnic jerk
( i read lots of posts about these jerks but i didnt find any useful information,i understand that it is natural
someone said that this is happening because of irregular sleep schedules but i dont agree with this one
please dont post wiki link ;p )
Thanks
Stan
Who are you calling a jerk?! ;)
Seriously speaking now...
Stretch out the body part of whatever is "jerking".
Other than that, just relax and accept it. Don't fight it. :)
My eyes seemed like they were having a siezure the other day. When your focusing it's very difficult not to tense up. Frequently make sure your relaxed
I always get 2 or 3 of them when I meditate. I actually look forward to them because it means my body is moving into a more deeply relaxed state which means I'll project soon.
