Thinking more about it, others have mentioned the same thing in this thread, because there's no one term for it, searching for it can be a bit difficult but here are some I found:

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks, truthseeker! The different perspectives will help refresh my EE practice and maybe see the sensations in a different light. :D
Also I thought this part was particularly interesting, forge expressed it well. Captures the feelings in that moment.

When properly done this feels like leaving no desires in my spirit but expelling all sinful desires outward. This process has to be concentrated on to be visualized properly. Usually crying urges, disburdening sensations and candid "i want to be cleansed" feelings are driving this visualization.

Today just sitting around mostly, I noticed how much my trapezius area gets tensed up constantly. It's quite a regular thing and I think many people have mentioned it too. Pipe-breathing tends to ease it a little but nothing beats lying down and getting "through" it with some meditation.

This week’s experience of EE on Monday and Thursday consists of tears and yawning during three-stage pipe breathing extending into the start of PotS, and zoning out for all of PotS and until the end of the music.

Just adding some experiences of mine.
My next-door neighbours had a big party last week-end and played house music for hours on end until four or five in the morning. I had fallen asleep, but woke up after a couple of hours feeling as if my brains were going to explode. I am sure it was the music. I started pipe breathing immediately. I have found that pipe breathing is helpful, but doesn't do the trick for me. Reciting POTS afterwards clears up a lot. The same happened this time. After POTS I felt much better and not anxious anymore. Went downstairs and saw these light effects in my garden. I thought I was going mad...
House music coupled with these light effects must do a lot of damage to the mind and soul. Maybe that was why my head was exploding.
Today I saw the picture of Bradley Manning (the picture of him taken in prison) on SOTT, which produced a very strong reaction in me. I had to get up and start pipe breathing. Felt much better afterwards.
EE is truly a great gift to humanity IMHO.
Hope Bradley Manning has access to meditation and breathing exercises.
I hadn't done EE for a couple of months (started last year in June) and was astounded how much better I felt after only one session. Previously I had felt very stressed, but as soon as I started EE again it seemed to disappear instantaneously. Amazing. :O

Just imagine what it would be like if you did EE twice a week, or even three-stage breathing and PotS (especially before going to sleep) every day! :)
For me, this week’s experience of EE on Monday and Thursday consists of tears and yawning during three-stage pipe breathing extending into the start of PotS, and on Thursday, a restless left foot during PotS, and a feeling of great sadness.
beetlemaniac:
I think I've identified a problem in my posture while sitting. I seem to have some discomfort which makes me sit in unhealthy postures, like hunching my back or letting my behind slide to the front of the chair, leaving my spine in bent position. This seems to have exacerbated certain issues like poor circulation, whereupon I'd experience syncope/fainting upon standing up and stretching. Recently one day it was particularly bad, I got up and stretched, minutes (not sure how long actually, I totally "zoned-out" so to speak) later finding myself in a heap with my face in the rubbish bin. I somehow managed to rip my wall-mounted shelf off the wall in the whole ordeal. I'm relieved that I wasn't terribly injured, just minor cuts and scratches.
The reason I'm posting here is because I feel there is a connection between the emotional releases of EE and the incidences of syncope that I have been getting. So I'm going to go exclude Beatha from my Monday-Thursday sessions for now, while focusing on calming meditation before sleeping.
Also I'm going to take extra precautions about my sitting postural tendencies, and also to take care to go to a safe place before performing any stretching exercises. The blood flow to the head can literally knock me unconscious.
