While doing small universe, I'm noticing that I'm straining my head and neck. Is this normal? When you push the energy to the next spot, is it just visualization, or is there actual physical muscle movement, which is produced by tuning into the muscles in that specific area, which can produce strain?

If that comes up, it's usually some sort of unconscious tension--but not always the case. If you were fully conscious of why you were doing it, you'd change it. But the good thing is that you're aware that you're doing it. So in your case, it's probably just a subtle block that needs to open. The 'neck up to the third eye point' has usually been the more 'tricky' to work with, due to the 'solidness' of the head--though 'solidity' is illusory in the Energy World. Just be careful and be more gentle. You want to breath smooth and gently allow the visualizations to effortlessly flow to the next spot.
I used to do this a lot, here's something that can help.
When you catch yourself doing that, just remember: "Smooth and relaxed" repeat this message a few times, eventually, you'll find yourself doing it less and less.
