I have been experiencing electric shocks in my body, that seemingly had been triggered involuntarily. An hour ago I made a post on TwitterX. I am going to cut & paste the same thing here.
Recently I took a rough and tumble in my spiritual practice. Today I want to share that story with you. I intend to solicit your feedback so I may be able to climb back on the wagon.

Some of you may know only recently I got seriously interested in spirituality. This interest was ignited by the book "The Power NOW" by Eckhart Tolle.
Formerly, I had imagined that spirituality was something mystical or magical. Wrong.
It is, and it is not.

As I speak, I know full well, spirituality is very similar to physical exercise. One has got to do it and do it every day to maintain and enhance its benefits. When I started doing meditation following the guidance in the book, it felt exhilarating. Each day I would want to return to my practice. Then something remarkable happened, which put a long pause in the practice.

When I meditated I had communion with my inner body. I don't like the word body. In my meditations, I came into contact with my inner being. It is like a whole Universe there. That is certainly a mystical feeling.

One day I was lying on the bed and going through the meditative practice. As my observation of the inner universe progressed to an unexplored zone, all of a sudden, my body convulsed in a major electric shock.
The convulsions continued in intermittent jerks. It seemed like my body was lying on the bed and someone was applying defibrillator shocks. It was unsettling, to say the least.

I suspended the inner body exploration immediately. In the subsequent days, the phenomenon continued when I meditated. I could by now recreate a convulsion of demand.

When the electric shocks continued for a few days. I began consultations with certain individuals who were practiced meditators. Everybody became concerned. Some were surprised as well as amused.

One of the expert meditators, familiar with such shocks advised me to immediately suspend my meditations and consult with my Primary Care doctor.
The doctor advised that I get a consult with a Neurosurgeon.

I could not get an appointment until October 6, 2023. . . . . . .

So I am presently in a difficult state.

Hello @nickm. I noticed you had started another discussion a few months back on this same topic, so you will notice that I have moved your most recent post here:
- Is there hidden defibrillator inside my body giving me shock?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/is-there-hidden-defibrillator-inside-my-body-giving-me-shock/

I can understand why you are concerned, given that you continued to feel the shocks even when you stopped your meditation practice. Can I clarify if you have an appointment with a neurologist or a neurosurgeon?
