Body Tingles, Surrender, & Blissing Out

I’m currently sitting here feeling the inside of this body I have radiate with blissful tingling energy. It’s not the same sensation when your feet fall asleep. It’s more similar to the tingling sensation you feel when you’re very present.

For me, this sensation is typically activated when I’m in a state of deep surrender and allowing. It feels like my legs are orgasming as well as the top of my head. As I close my eyes and relax, as I allow the Now moment to be just as it is, the sensation spreads across the face, down the arms, up the spine, and all over the entire body.

It’s an inner feeling of “Yes.”

This is a physical manifestation of surrender. The more I can let go of resistance, the more the energy of Peace automatically fills my body. As I keep allowing it to be just as it is (as opposed to trying to increase it), the more I allow the personal “me” to step out of the way, the more intense the feeling becomes. It’s truly a state of allowing.

Mental chatter such as “Cool! This is awesome! How do I make it stronger?” or “How long with this last?” or “Let me see if I can verbalize a description of this feeling.” actually suppresses the feelings. The quieter the mind becomes, the more intense the feelings of bliss.

Interestingly though, mental chatter seems to suppress this feeling less and less. A few months ago when I first started feeling these feelings, the moment the mind started talking, the blissful sensations ceased.

Now it feels like there’s an undercurrent of peace and freedom on top of which is the occasional verbal thought. The key difference is that there’s full identification with Oneness and no identification with the thoughts in the mind. The silent awareness within is not affected by thought. Since my essence is that which is non-physical, the feelings that arise from essence are also not affected.

I look around the room and see everything at once, nothing in particular. Peripheral vision is starting to expand and supersede central vision. It’s becoming more difficult to separate one individual item from its surroundings. Mentally there’s no labeling going on. It is what it is and I am aware of pure essence.

Walking around shopping malls in these states is, well, it’s beyond amazing. That said, it does make it tough to pick anything out. The way this feels though, it’s not at all a bad thing.

I am the observer observing the observed, yet that which I observe is also aware of me. The observer and the observed merge into One. There is no duality. There is only One Consciousness.

There is no separate this interacting with a separate that. There is only energy flowing.

The whole world feels like a parade of form and nonform dancing, mingling, intertwining. I see the totality, am the totality, am Allness.

As I allow these feelings to be, they increase in intensity to the point where I’m essentially blissing out. The bliss is so strong that it’s practically incapacitating. At least it used to be when I first started experiencing them.

Getting used to these sensations and allowing them to continue, the task then becomes bringing this sensation with me in every moment of every day while actually living life, not just while sitting still, free from distractions.

From this state of Oneness, physical activities such as thinking, speaking, or even moving become almost undesirable. All the stuff that would please the ego become no longer of any value. Things like doing something in order to feel better or relieve boredom become unnecessary.

I will certainly do things, but not because it’s based out of egoic wants such as gaining approval or doing an external activity to change my internal state.

Rather, it feels like external activities become an expression of my internal state. There’s a complete non-attachment to the world of form. This is being in the world, but not of it.

This is what’s referred to as bringing the kingdom of God to earth. It’s a living heaven.

The underlying motivation for all external activity is simply play with form as a part of me. I am all that is and playing with one particular aspect of form is simply bringing awareness into a part of the Allness, my Self.

Aaahhhh, exquisite bliss. This is a feeling beyond description. The physical body is melting away as the higher reality of Oneness becomes my dominant state.

Time is an illusion…

Who am I?

I AM.

I feel the I AM that I am.
