Pins and needles and cramping from meditation - Crazy intense

[sjel]

While I don't experience pain during meditation (except for my knees, I have to sit in a chair now, or stand to meditate, which is really annoying because my favorite posture is sitting on the ground), I often experience a surge of energy in which I start to twist my body all around, stretching it, flexing it, for 10-15 minutes, before I can really sit still and meditate. I think it's my body working out the kinks in my energy channels.

I recommend iodine, gotu kola, and vitamin C - these three things have immensely helped me examine my blockages. Also marijuana. Marijuana is an extremely powerful energetic teacher, I immediately fall into a self-healing state every time I ingest it.
