Bubbling under the skin

Yesterday while I was waiting for something to finish baking I did some arm swings and then some standing. When I was standing I felt like underneath my skin or maybe between my skin and my fascia there was some bubbling or some kind of pulsing feeling going on, maybe related to my hearbeat but it didn't seem to quite sync. This was going on in the space in between my shoulder blades. Is this the kind of stretch we are trying to accomplish with this warm up or was this maybe just a coincedental feeling.

Backstop Feeling

Yesterday when I was doing my standing meditation I felt something in my foot but I wasn't sure whether it was the backstop feeling or not. I thought the backstop feeling was described as like a right angle sort of sensation where it feels like the back of the heel is up against a wall (maybe I'm not remembering correctly). I was feeling a stretch that felt like it was stretching from the bottom around going upwards but it wasn't in the back of the heel more like in where I imagine the center of the bone is in the foot.

Filling/peng

I have started to experience something interesting. When I Stand and relax my soft tissues they seem to "empty out". This void between the skin surfaces is filled with an empty support that pushes out in all directions and the muscles soften even more. I'm neither light nor heavy. The support in the tissues does not produce a feeling of high pressure. It feels simply full and soft yet there is some power when I move. It's very interesting. I can tell that it's a weak version of something that will continue to increase as I train. I've never felt this before. It's really exciting!
