Hi Joe
Yes - I get shifting tensions in the areas you talk about when resting. Sometimes they can be painful for a little while as the blockage is released - especially in the jaw area and for me I've had a lot of work happen in my neck over time as well. Stay with it and don't stop the sensations because healing is happening.
I know when I was first doing SFQ, I used to get a lot of movement like rocking when I was doing a sitting meditation and my body used to move into positions that were for me, quite impossible to achieve normally. For example - my head on the ground in front of my left knee - and the qi would hold me there for several minutes while the blockages in my spine and sacrum were releasing. I used to get afraid and think that I'd never be able to get back up and so I'd stop the process by sitting up - it would hurt. However, once I trusted the process, when the work was done, the body would gently raise on its own and there would be a wonderful sensation of freedom and openness within the body.
A lot of sensation occurs within me just about all of the time now - it can be through alignment or it can be through opening of minute channels on my face, around my mouth and nose, in and around my head, through my legs, back and torso. I feel very alive!
I can also waken from sleep to find that I'm having a spontaneous session of Qi Gong with or without any external movement or my conscious participation - quite a wonderful feeling.
SFQ is remarkable so enjoy!
