Involuntary Locomotor Activity

[GreaseBall]

I have tripped enough now to confirm that DMT/NMT causes distinct somatic hallucinations mainly in my face coupled with seemingly spontaneous muscle movement that flows with the loopy wave of the trip, such as my tongue pushing against the roof of my mouth and feeling it phase through, or my jaw having a strong urge to thrust forwards.
Nobody seems to have mentioned this kind of experience but it happens very often for me.

Did you search in the forum? There are many mentions of somatic effects and spontaneous movements.

I liked the video.

I'm struggling to find the right keywords, could you link some threads?

Here are just two posts I've made involving involuntary somatic experiences.

Everytime I drink aya at one point or another I find myself shaking profusely. At first it was unsettling but now I relish for it lol, definitely very cleansing for the nervous system.

I shake a lot with maoi+dmt combo, brews or vaped with harmala. At first it can feel like a lot but just let it move through you, it's blissfully intense. Letting the universe move through you and sing it's song into every cell of your body. Let it shake loose all the energy that's pent up and ready to be free.

Makes me feel like a good shake myself hehe.

I almost always take harmalas orally and vape dmt from a cart if I am not going the aya route. My lungs can't handle the smoke.

Then the threads broader context would have more.

It's quite normal, imo. I saw lots of spontaneous movements, shakes, and facial grimaces from myself over the years.
Aya analogs based on barks would always give me shakes on the come up.

Even biologically, shaking is a natural response to release built-up energy (from a trauma, for example). You can see it in other animals.
We as humans tend to have more control, and this leads to suppression of energy that finally builds up in the body. Psychedelics release it all and make it flow once again, so all these movements are a part of that release. That's how we experience it in the body.

"In an Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness" would be a good read about trauma and how we deal with it somatically.
