tense feeling while practicing

[Blazewind]

The other day I woke up early in the morning, and decided to practice for a while, thinking about hopfully trying to project.  It was all going good.  I was feeling like I was getting very relaxed and yet staying quite aware of things.  I was hoping to get into mind awake, body asleep state, and I thought I was doing okay.  I just let the random images that I always get as I start to doze off, go through my head, and was putting effort into not getting caught up in them, just passively watching.  I was also taking slight notice of how much more relaxed my body was feeling, when suddenly I began to feel stiffness, and tension, mostly in my lower legs and wrists.  Oddly enough, I still felt like I was going to sleep and everything normally.  I worried though that this tension was a bad sign, and tried to focus on relaxing.
Anyone know anything about what this tension could have been all about,and how to deal with this?
Thanks. 
Blaze.

This has been happening to me too lately. The stiffness in my legs and wrist and ankles. I have actually just gotten out of bed a while ago to take a break from trying to astral project.

I really think it is related to me not drinking enough waer in the day. I am sure that I have only been drinking about 3 glasses of water a day, which is not even close to enough espeacialy since ai have a very physical job in the late evening.

Do you drink enough water?  When I was astral projecting a lot, I was also having the habit of running a few miles a day and drinking at least 10-15 galsses of water a day.

Also, the stiffness could be a good sign of coming to paralysis. Perhaps it is the mind that worries too much of the body, when you could just relax and soon astral project.

I'll have to take my own advice and drink So much more water throughout the day, and practice more mind stillness meditations.

Take care,
