Some background: I have regularly practiced meditation for a few years, and over the last few months, I have considerably expanded my practice by learning new techniques and meditating more frequently. The last month in particular has been the biggest step up, as my psychiatrist has decided to take me off medication and instead intensify other forms of therapy.
This has had a significantly noticeable and positive effect so far, but one thing happened earlier today after a meditation session that was about an hour long: when I opened my eyes at the end, I felt a tingling sensation concentrated in the middle of my head and lower back and then reaching my limbs, like a cold wave radiating outward. That was the first time I had ever experienced such a sensation after meditating, but it was so calming that I just paused for a minute or so to take it all in before going about my day.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? If so, how often has it happened to you?
