Hi Michael-thanks for your response. I can see no way to respond on the link address supplied. You speak there of an involvement of willpower in the movement that I refer to as spontaneous. From my viewpoint there is no willpower involved in the movements, apart from a subtle sense of witnessing. The movements are no problem when they occur during meditation, but do require some conscious suppression in inappropriate settings (such as in the supermarket). This 'over-ruling' of what appears to be the 'dance-desire' of the hands and arms also causes a tightening and shaking of the TMJ causing a chattering of the teeth. At the same time there is a withdrawal of blood-flow from the hands and feet, to the extent that they can turn blue and become very cold. Thank you for your attention and advice.

The subtle sense of witnessing is the function which converts into willpower. A small part of it may convert but when there is great impulsion, then the whole of it converts into that.

This condition is a kundalini induced condition but only in the sense everything movement in the body is kundalini regulated in some way or the other. However my recommendation for checking these feelings is related to developments which come about due to practice of pranayama breath-infusion. The feelings are gaged during that practice and during the meditation which immediately follows that practice.

Other instances of kundalini arousal especially those which are or which evolve into a medical condition like TMJ, should be rated differently. This is because kundalini movement with breath-infusion and contractions are deliberately done by the yogi, where he can observe where a particular type of breathing in a particular posture causes a particular set of feelings and subtle actions.

When there are feelings which occur spontaneously, then these may or may not be positive towards spiritual realization and if they are, then how are such feelings to be repeated because they were not caused by a deliberate action of the yogi like breath-infusion and asana postures or particular mental movements in meditation.
