What do tingling lips & warmth mean during meditation?

I’ve only recently started exploring meditation, having attended a few short, group-led sessions. During my most recent practice, I experienced something unexpected—tingling in my lips, a slight pressure at the back of my head, and a warm sensation around my shoulder blades. While it wasn’t uncomfortable, it was definitely new, and I’m curious if others have had similar experiences.

I’m not looking for medical advice, just wondering if these sensations are common or if they might be connected to the meditation process. It would be great to hear from others who might have felt something similar during their practice.

While such experiences may not be common to everyone, they are indeed valid and reflect the unique way you perceive the world through meditation. Over time, meditation sharpens our senses, making us more attuned to subtle sensations, sounds, and emotions. It's as if the mind becomes a lens, focusing in on details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Many people find that their awareness expands, allowing them to pick up on things they hadn’t noticed before, like the faint sound of a distant bird or the gentle texture of the air on their skin. This heightened sensitivity is often seen as a positive sign of deepening mindfulness and connection to the present moment.
