There is a similar thing that happen to myself and my students when we  
practice chi kung (sometimes called qigong).  It is called "Rocks in the  
Stream".  Chi kung is a yogic practice we teach in martial arts.  It opens up  
the channels in the body; the "nadis" in sanskrit or the "meridians" in  
acupuncture.  When these channels are open, the "chi" or "prana" (life force  
energy) can move more freely throughout the body. The energy then sets to  
work clearing blockages in these channels.  I have seen students  
involuntarily jumb three feet into the air, straight up, when practicing chi  
kung.  This is caused by the energy breaking through existing blockages and  
releasing them.  The blockage is the "Rock" and the "Stream" is the energy.   
Thus we get rocks in the stream. 
 
 Visualize a swiftly running stream passing over rocky rapids.....eventually  
the stone that is causing the turbulence in the stream is moved or worn away.  
 
 
That is what is happening when you jump during meditation.  Unless it caused  
some physical discomfort or injury it is usually considered a good thing by  
Kung Fu masters as well as other "energy pracitioners"
 
The "chill" you said you felt sounds like when you released the  energy that  
was blocking your "chi", your body took a few minutes to "readjust" to the  
new energy pattern.  This sort of thing happens pretty frequently for me.   
I'll get really scared for a few minutes.  I just have to trust the process  
of clearing until the fear subsides.  Then its pretty peaceful and tranquil  
for a while.  Give K a chance to work.  Try not to interfere too much.  There  
is really nothing to fear.  I 
  
Keep talking to us!
 
Love in each moment,
 
Jason B
