Hey guys! everytime i meditate I get near the alpha state and theres like a buzzing (like electricity) in my hands and in my arms and a little bit on my face, theres like a pressure on my hands that keeps them open, and theres also a big pressure in the middle of my chest. What are these symptoms, is it like energy movement or the vibes or something like that?

As you get deeper into meditation, and external sensations reduce, you will generally notice a lot of strange sensations. The reasons for these are many, firstly we can become aware of bloodflow near the skin surface (when we are tense, blood flows away from the surface in preparation to feed the main organs in a fight or flight situation). This feels like an energy sensation. Secondly, we can become aware of tensions in our body which we habdn;t noticed before, these once again can take many forms, from aching to buzzing and pulsing sensations. Thirdly, as our attention moves inwards, our body awareness is reduced. This leaves 'holes' in our sensory map of ourselves, and so the imagination fills these gaps. This can lead to spinning sensations, growing or shrinking sensations, body parts bending or merging, or pressure etc.
THere are countless other effects too which occur either due to increase body sensory perception and or increased awareness of internal stimulus over external stimulus.
All these are good signs that you are meditating correctly.
