Perhaps the jaw clenching/twitching is also due to your anxiety ..or rather a way of your body to deal with the intense sensations you are experiencing. Let's be honest here, it can feel really intense, especially if you are not used to it. That was something that has surprised me tremendously. I knew it could be intense from a mental level but i never paid a thought to what my body would actually feel.
I used to remind myself, that i wanted this and that i would have to accept what was happening. Of course this is much easier after you were able to establish some trust.
The best mindset i have found is to give yourself over to the experience as much as possible. This is easier said than done though....
Here are some metaphors for the "approach" you can take:
- Imagine yourself in a pool of water, taking a deep breath to float on your back. Then, exhale and allow yourself to gently sink to the bottom of the pool....
- Imagine a knife going through butter. Then, imagine you are the knife and the butterstick goes on and on forever....
A merging, a sinking, allowing it to fully embrace you...allow yourself to be stared at by it and become the "stare". Allow that intense feeling to be the wind that carries you away like a feather. The vibration gets deflected somehow if we are tense, but if you allow it to do so, it will penetrate you and it might seem more like a soul massage of some sort.
