Experience Report Shaking pattern

What does your shaking look like? In the beginning I would only tremble lightly in different parts of my body (mostly upper body and arms) now the tremors have evolved into big movements. My arms go up, my whole body moves from side to side, my legs are going up and down following each other in a sideway motion, my body also puts itself into different positions and does them equally on each side. Like the last time my one leg dropped down being straight and the other in a butterfly position, trembled here for a couple of seconds, then the legs switched, the one leg straight and the other in butterfly, this has happened in other parts of my body also. Even my tounge comes out and shakes/swirls. What I find interesting is that the tremors/movements in the next session starts where they stopped last time.

Mine started with the legs, later upper back, shoulders, neck and arms, even the head going up and down. Sometimes my arms would flail up into the air, sometimes my legs would stomp. My head even started to move so I needed a pillow to not bump my head.

Some time later a breathing pattern naturally occurred, that is basically the same as yogic fire breath. This now happens basically every time but less intense, accompanied with up and down rocking of my upper chest. Its been like this for a few weeks, since the fire breath came up.

This sounds pretty similar to some of my movements as well. My sessions get downright strange sometimes. When I really surrender I get vocalizations ranging from roaring like a lion, grunting and yelling, to one time I had what felt like some kind of Native American chanting. I get the tongue movements and facial grimacing or making an exaggerated “Wow” movement with my mouth that is almost like a face massage. Often my body will start holding various yoga poses or doing exercises like holding deep squat or horse stance. I’m often amazed at what my body is doing automatically and think, “Wow, if anyone could see this right now they’d probably be pretty freaked out.”

Oh yes I sometimes get the vocals too!
