I’ve come to believe that a muscle twitch, at least the ones that I have experienced, are more than just a random spasm. It is a glimmer of energy attempting to push it’s way through the system. Fluttering open the fascia or muscle or skin in such a sudden and forceful way, that one cannot control oneself.

I’m sure they can often be chalked up to a mineral difficiency of some sort, but the snese I’ve gathered is that they take place in places in which the body is typically numb. Not numb in the obvious, complete absence of feeling sense, but numb in the sense that sensation is dulled, there is lack of blood flow, a lack of awareness or consciousness in the place.

The spasm is a reminder that the body part is there, it is alive, and it is capable of transmitting energy. It is one step towards greater awareness, having the twitch. Then noticing the twitch, not as simply an annoyance, but as a teacher, one can begin the path towards deeper insight.

The twitch teacher.
