That has been my experience as well. I have developed my own little technique around this idea, where you invite tight areas of your body to soften and spontaneously make tiny stretching or unwinding movements - without forcing, bracing, or following a scripted routine. I call it Intuitive Release.
This is remarkable! I arrived at a very similar place in the last few days. I've been working with painful negative beliefs and memories.
This evolved from my meditation practice, I simply observe sensations in my body. (I tried meditating "normally" (focus on breath) but all this pain kept coming up!)
One of the techniques I arrived on through trial and error is simply asking the energy if it wants/needs to release itself. And then just allowing it to do so. Giving it permission as you say!
So far in every case I have tested, every bundle of pain in my body, the answer has been yes.
The hardest part is just being willing to let it do whatever it needs to do, which can be very odd and a little overwhelming sometimes. But you get used to it very quickly!
In more formal traditions the focus on breath (or similar) is to develop concentration/samatha/samadhi.
The focus on sensations is the insight/vipassana component, and often this is where the tension bubbles up to the surface. Keeping calm (equanimous) during this process can indeed be non-trivial!
It sounds like you have come to a practice very similar to a lot of the Burmese traditions of insight meditation, which is quite fascinating.
Sure, so my experience is... It feels like something solid is dissolving. That's the most common experience. It goes from the sharp heavy sensation into a diffuse watery pleasant sensation.
There could be many other effects as well. There can be sharp pain. There could be dull throbbing. It can feel like stuff is moving around (especially in the gut area, which seems to respond to such a process with actual physical movement).
Basically it's pretty weird if you're not used to it.
But in my experience, the fear of what we might experience is almost always greater than what we actually do experience. Which I think applies to life in general as well.
usually when a sharp sensation arises in an area, there is a habitual tendency to counteract - unconsciously tense surrounding muscles or antagonistic muscles or switch posture etc.
the idea is to observe with clarity the counteraction and let the sharp sensation arise and pass without the counteraction/resistance.
Sounds a lot like qigong, there is a whole… not sure what to call it, system? which involves pretty much exactly this increase of mind/body connection and relaxing/manipulating of fascia/muscles.
Do you have any specific pointers concerning that "relaxing/manipulating of fascia/muscles" part? I have only dabbled a bit in qigong and hadn't noticed this. Would love to learn more.
check out flowing zen qigong school, it’s online, not terribly expensive, the guy has a book that you can probably find on the high seas or def on amazon if you want to dip toes. he’s much more focused on no-woo than any others i tried.
his program is basically exactly this, body awareness and manipulations. i felt better when i was doing it, need to get back on the horse too probably.
I'm sharing Kelora, a hobby project that I have been developing over the last 6 months.
It's a scriptable log processor for the command line, with 150+ built-in functions for parsing, transforming, and analyzing log files and streams.
My original idea was to have an easy to deploy, potentially faster and more correct "rewrite in Rust" of my Python log processing tool klp.
It quickly turned into an AI coding experiment: how far I could get with vibe-coding, in a programming language that I barely know?
Kelora's code and extensive test suite have been generated entirely by AI agents (Claude CLI with Sonnet 4 to 4.5, Codex CLI with GPT5-codex).
I come up with feature ideas and discuss it with the AI agents. The AIs then write the spec, the implementation, tests, docs and CI.
I don't review the code, but I use the resulting program myself and review the docs.
The result is fully functional and quite useful, in my opinion.
I am fully aware that this vibe-coding process has its problems. Without human review we cannot be sure that Kelora does (only) what it's supposed to do.
And although Kelora passes 1000+ automatic tests and several checks (clippy, cargo audit, cargo deny, cargo fuzz), that probably shouldn't be sufficient to use it in production.
In this sense, it's an experiment, or a prototype. So maybe just run it against the example logs I've provided in the GitHub repo.
Or read the docs to get inspiration for your own log processing tool.
Because that's what I want to share: My ideas about a log processing tool with embedded scripting that can help turn messy logs into structured data.
Some interesting features like level maps, windows and spans, tracking and state, JWT parsing, pseudonymisation, etc.
And last but not least, my joy of working together with AI agent on a software project that would otherwise have been much too big for me.
I've never had so much fun in 30+ years of (hobby) programming.
Yes, the 3B variant, with vLLM 0.11.2. Parameters are given on the HF page. Had to override the temperature to 0.15 though (as suggested on HF) to avoid random looking syllables.
For example: No buffer overflows, null pointer exceptions, use-after-free, etc. On ARM and RISCV64 not even the C compiler has to be trusted, because functional correctness has been proven for the binary. And there are more proofs besides functional correctness.
