"Embrace the fatigue and trembling of your body during meditation, for it is the release of repressed tensions; trust the process, and deeper balance will emerge."
According to Osho, bodily tiredness or aching hands during meditation are natural signs that repressed tensions are being released; the moving or aching limb is where the catharsis is happening. Don’t stop—let the body tire and tremble; within a few days it settles, fatigue disappears, and deeper balance and health arise. Even whole-body fatigue is temporary; continue trustfully.
If your hands or body ache while meditating, old stress is leaving—keep going and it will ease in a few days.
