Clenching Anus Related to State Raise?

[Sincerity]

Okay so I know this is very funny because "haha ass" but I have a serious question.

Every time I switch in the moment into intense concentration on experience/nature of self, my anus clenches inside. It's been like this for a long time now. Been wondering about it often but never cared enough to ask if others relate.

So, do you relate? Does anyone have some knowledge on that? Do you think it's better to unclench it every time I notice it, or just disregard it and continue focusing uninterrupted?

The way I go about raising state works. I'm just wondering about the muscle clench thing. The anus, and also eg. the sides of my head.

I actually know what you are talking about XD, but its like, im not quite sure id call it an ass clenching, lol. But sure i guess thats sortve what it is in a way. Its more like, your immune system drops down~shifts into a new gear, but Hey, its not like any of us have the science/right terminology. I certainly dont.

Like i use to get something when i was very little/young, and my parents would like, bring me / leave me in a wooded/forest area w/ all the horses and shit~Wildlife and like, desolate forest, And in those cases my stomach would churn and i was put off from that whole idea of nature at that point. But this was like what alot of ppl felt as well, like when you are sortve THRUST against your will, or against the nature of your immune system ~not quite havin prepared ur self, then yeah ur butts prolly gona clench up at that point cause its like , "Ah, Whats going on". But as you get more like, accustomed to switching gears, your body wont feel as staggered and whatknot, going from this like "stay still" mode, to a more *hyper mode

Tense energy and relaxed energy is a thing.  We act very differently when we're operating from tense energy versus relaxed energy.  Neither one is good or bad per se, but it's something that can be observed in oneself and in others.

Speaking of, if you go outside, it went from like, being ass cold — to now where its like its a warm spring day out w all the snow meltin° (or atleast where im @Est), like thats another instance where its like this thing w/ the body/And gettin' use to it, or trying to - where your body says something like, "Ah, what is going on", to then having to acclimate to those sudden changes.

I have it in roller coasters. Whenever it goes down very fast. I dont fear anything intellectually but my anus goes crazy. Or my root chakra. Something like this.

I wonder if it would help to lean into it. Consciously clench even harder, and then release.

You can bet I’m experimenting with it.

I’m just curious of others’ experiences/opinions.

I get tension headaches sometimes while meditating . It's very frustrating.

Hindus call it mula bandha. There are three main locks:

Mula bandha 

Pelvic floor

Lift energy upward

Uddiyana bandha

Abdomen

Draw energy inward & upward

Jalandhara bandha

Throat

Contain and regulate upward flow.

 

When all three bandhas are applied together, it is called Maha Bandha. When I'm in deep yogic samadhi I stabilise comfortably in Maha Bandha.

A weird thing that happened to me on a psychedelic trip before getting to know about kriya yoga is that my tongue wanted so deeply to do Kechari Mudra, it felt like breaking my tongue at that time but when you hit the spot oh God it's like a self-estimulating your own brain chemistry and glands.

So this a possible explanation, or it could be any other cause. As a general norm I prefer to be as relaxed and open as possible.
