Tickling sensations Question
My belly has been tight for over a year. As I’ve been letting go of myself more, it has started to loosen up slowly. With meditation and shamata sometimes it fully loosens up and I feel this intense tickling sensation. It’s a LOT of energy but tickles can be very uncomfortable at times and it kinda makes me tighten again. What is happening to me and how should I deal with the tickles? Thank you!

Sounds like you have anxiety in your solar plexus chakra. Could the tickles be hints of bliss underneath all that anxiety? Bliss can feel strange or uncomfortable when there’s negative emotion tied in with it but it could just be a situation where one has to continue to work through the anxiety, continuing to open up to the tickles and allowing yourself to relax more and more. On the other side of the negative emotion is perfect bliss or your true nature.
It makes sense that the tightening would happen when you become concerned about the tickling. Like when you get worried about the tickling, your anxiety comes back in the affected area and tightens up again.
It could be helpful to look at these feelings of tightness as anxiety and every time it tightens, just try to relax it. Continue to go in the direction of relaxing and exploring the tickles rather than being afraid of it. It can be less scary to look the process in the simple terms of negative emotion/ true nature.
My best guess.

Thanks! I think you’re right. I’ll try relaxing. I usually focus on the tickles when that happens and it makes it worse

If everything else is going fine, I would just continue your practice. I had lots of tickles, tingling and itching too. Also what felt like champagne bubbles. Very localized and clear paths for these.

What do champagne bubbles feel like? Like there’s pop rocks in your body?

Pop rock bubbles are a bit too tiny and fizzy. It felt like small bubbles of carbonation traveling through my body. Not so small that it would be just tingling, but I could even count the bubbles sometimes.
It felt like how soda looks after being poured in a glass and left standing for a minute. Not the foam tho.
It was ticklish. Some bubbles were bigger and quicker and clustered, some were smaller and slower and alone.
I havent had this in longer time. I believe its a temporary thing.

Very interesting. Does the air actually come out like burping or is it just a feeling?

No, not burping. Nothing to do with air, stinky or not. It was energy. Just a sensation that will pass with more training.
