I find it to be a really strange occurrence. It's one thing when one is shaking from vibrations, but it's quite another when their body is moving with clear intelligence.
I guess in some ways, I have an academic curiosity about it. How? What's the mechanism?
google anatomy trains / Myofascial meridians / Tensegrity + internal martial arts

Jeff N.:
I was told by a Ayurvedic doc that it was a past life trauma, and that I was a Kung Fu dude in the past. This, I guess, amounts to sankharas.
Probably you've just let your unconscious get the command, with all its martial arts fantasies.
Jeff N.:
But the monks seem to see it as the Wind. And they perceive as normal and good. So like if your legs move without way and with ease, that's perceiving the Wind.
Have you guys ever experienced the wind?
Here's my question with the wind. If it's perceiving "the Wind" and these movements are just sort of natural, fine. But why, then, is Kung Fu/Tai Chi, not found coming from multiple places in the world. If it's somehow universal, why wouldn't it show up different places? And vice versa for Yoga.
If you're interested in the wind and the like, you'll find interesting information in tummo practices related to "hard" martial arts. It's a valuable tradition, but not my cup of tea.
I believe that energy practices are widespread around the world. It just happens to be best developed in Asia because of their mix of medicine, meditation and performing arts traditions. In the West, top athletes and dance performers have a deep deep use of anatomy trains but lack of the meditation and introspective work of the East.
