The motions when you close your eyes are the visible effect of your visual neurons relaxing. This is basically what I'm told meditation is about, to inhibit the brain until you are in a state of no thought. They should not be mistaken for energy though. You see the same phenomenon looking up in the sky on a bright day. Only then it's over excitation of your visual neurons.
The Buddhists keep saying to new practitioners about most questions... "Don't worry about that." When we finally sit still long enough to observe and see the subtle motions of our bodies for the first time, we often mistake them for big events.
The ego clings to matter again and tries to convince us we've escaped it's grasp.. See, I'm free I can see this energy now.
There's a whole circus of events we go through when relaxing. Not that I'm a first grade practitioner. I just can't seem to get it right. But I do know neurology. (Beware the purple flashes, they be dragons!
)
Oh and this link might be useful to you guys. I hear it's good.
