That all sounds pretty typical, Collective. When your eyes are closed, many bodily sensations can seem much more intense than usual, sometimes quite odd. The longer and more you sit, the more unfamiliar and disconcerting feelings tend to evaporate as the mind stills. And still other feelings more intense but pleasant can arise.

Just keep watching that breath!
