Evening, 8/22/07
Tonight, it was restlessness, the creepy, crawly feeling. When I first sat down to meditate, I was comfortable. I had been looking forward to meditating. My breath became easy and steady. Then I started to notice a slight muscle spasm in my left leg that would tighten up and release in cycles. Had I not been sitting still and meditating, I might not have noticed it. I made an effort to consciously relax. For a while there were no spasms. And then there was a big one. And, the restlessness got more intense, like something crawling all over me. I broke concentration and moved my feet a little. I quit the meditation about 11 minutes early. I'm thinking I'll have a nice hot bath and then go to bed. The restlessness seems to come up more often when I'm tired.

The similarities continue...i often get muscle spasms...
i speculate they may be linked to my underactive thyroid as they seem to get worse when i dont take my thyroid meds...

I have type II diabetes, and I suspect my spasms may be related to diabetic neuropathy. In any case, as I said, I might not have been aware of the spasm had I not been meditating. So, awareness of the body and health conditions is a good thing, I suppose.
