Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Seizure With Tingling Sensation In Body
Question: What do you mean by technique?
I am already quite mindful so I guess I aim more toward concentrated meditation.
What I have explained I can do when I am sitting down meditating or even just concentrating on the roof when lying in bed.
Just a correction to what I mentioned in the earlier message - The 'tingle' sensation comes before the 'seizure'. Sorry, I was not really expecting a response and wrote the first message a little fast without reading over.
Breathing rate 27-30 per minute but this is just during the beginning. Once I feel the tingle sensation come on it generally begins in my lower extremity and I can shift it around. I build on the sensation, basically intensifying it until my whole body is affected. This is when tremor starts. Then when the tremor stops, my muscles are all seized up. The 'tingle' is still there and remains intensified and my body slowly begins to relax to a point where I start to feel disconnected. It feels like I am sinking into the ground. This is when I pull out. I guess the main reason I pull out is because I don't know if I am breathing or not, though I have never had to gasp for air or anything like that. About 5 minutes into meditation, when I feel relaxed, is when I increase my breathing rate to 27-30/min and I only do it to invoke the 'tingle'. Once I feel it my breathing returns to a normal rate.
The tremor part does not always happen but the seizing up of muscles always does.

Brief Answer:
A complete guide to understanding your meditative experiences.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
1. You mentioned that you have been meditating for a period of time, when you experienced these issues of a "tingle" and a "seizing" sensation of the muscles, though not invariably or always.
2. You said that you were using methods of mindfulness, of which there are many styles.
3. I have analyzed your past queries in this same vein, and upon much thought, I wish to inform you that the experiences that you are having vis-a-vis the differentials in your breathing rate are expected.
4. The methods of mindfulness cause a time distortion effect in the brain, leading you from perceiving time as a continuum to seeing time as an accident of the central nervous system. I mean as mediation intensifies, you are in the here and now.
5. After a lifetime of conditioning in which you are programmed to see things in a certain perceptive frame, this can be a disruptive experience.
What you can do right now is to find a good teacher, just as a martial artist would seek guidance from a master in the martial arts, though he could evolve and learn to fight all by himself. This prevents injury.
Remember, meditation is the inner martial arts of the mind.
Secondly, I feel that as per these facts, that you suspect that you might be having ADHD / Temporal issues (as per the details in the link you have given)
I would suggest that you try Strattera, also called as Atomoxetine instead of potent mind altering medication like dextroamphetamine. Atomoxetine is midly stimulating but does not predispose to such issues nor is it dependence forming.
Conclusion: 1. The experiences you describe are normally felt as the brain takes the "G-forces" of the meditative experience [using a fighter aircraft metaphor]
2. You might refer to Taoistic / XXXXXXX Buddhist / Yogic literature of descriptions of such experiences to conform this.
Yet this literature is not religious, it is merely a description of technology of the mind, subjective it may be, just as technology outside, such as computers and cellphones have a temporal manifestation, the technologies evolved and developed in the mind through meditation are as real, though they may be subjectively invisible.
You mention being at the top of your class despite setbacks and I congratulate you in this.
I would like your opinions on this answer I have given to you.
Feel free to ask or debate points, I am open minded to cogitation and dialectic.
Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
PS This is my 21st year of being a meditator myself. I have tried various styles, like transcendental, Tai Chi Chuan, Vipassana to mention a few.
