I've been meditating for over forty years, and I still itch, and twitch, and sometimes find it hard to focus.  But the more we struggle, as you have discovered, the worse it gets.  It's okay to leave a meditation; that is, get up, and fix the itch.  The key is to always be gentle and patient with yourself.  \n\nTo ignore something tends to worsen it because you are using ego to "cure" what ego is using to keep you from finding out who and what you are.  \n\nIn other words, part of you is rebelling against your meditation.  But You, the part that matters, knows there is something within, and you will find it.  \n\nDon't give up.  With practice and discipline, you will find that meditation gets easier...and your life improves.

I suffer from allergies and occasionally end up with hives.  Try Benadryl or another antihistamine and it should relieve the itchiness.

look at this ewbsite, they explain how each constituent works, improving blood supply may be the reason but there is no scientific data suggestiong itching from improved blood supply to the skin, if itching persists or worsens, see a doctor, good luck

If it's really bad, you could talk to your doctor and he could give you something to take the edge off. I'm not really sure how I do it. I just take a long deep breath, and just do it, like pretending that I'm not afraid at all. After a while, I don't have to pretend anymore.

Why try to guess what this is when it is really bothering you? Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. You must consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

Sigh. You have hexed yourself! I will now give you a weaker hex for you to practice your skepticism:\n\nYou will be unable to forget what I am about to tell you ever, and when you think you have forgotten the itching it will come beck. The name of the curse is INTOLERABLE ITCH, and you will feel an itch for sure! Itch!\n\nThis is the reverse of the placebo. Its called negative suggestion, and it powers most "magic" and "miracles" used by Christians. I suggest the itch, you look for an itch, you find and magnify an itch.\n\nThere is something similar with more dire consequences used by priests and most witches where they suggest that something bad will happen, and then you blame the next bad thing that happens on whatever you did against the church or the pagan. The rain would have fallen anyway, but now you have something to blame it on. The witches call it the Evil Eye, whereas the priests prefer Wrath of God. Only true believers are effected: skeptics don't feel the effects.\n\nIn the event that you don't itch, your skepticism is strong enough. If not, practice disbelieving the first half of what I said and believing the second half! And Travis, I don't think God cares much about who tells the truth, or if he does he does not show it. Lawyers and politicians would cause flash floods in D.C.!

OK here it goes.. i tried not to think of this for years..sigh...A couple of years ago i had to have allergy shots once a week,since I'm not a huge fan of shots i usually turn my head.The doctor got me to roll up my sleeve and told me to take a deep breath,well i was trying to keep my mind off the needle so i decided to play with the leaves on the huge plant my DR keeps in his office.Turns out it felt funny so i turned my head to see with horror that i had my hand was below his belt area and i was molesting my Dr...I don't have that DR anymore...

Dear bobby b,\n\nI agree with itchy, it could be a sign of poor blood circulation.\n\nIf you're diabetic - or you are in a risk to be - consult a doctor.\n\nConsider using gingko biloba. The extract from this tree is supposed to get the blood flow in our body's extremities: arms and hands, legs and feet, and head.

Are you having a anxiety attack. I have had them over fear for my children several years back. Then again when I found out my Ex-Fiance was terminal. I totally freaked out. My skin was all prickly tingly numbness I couldn't  or had a hard time breathing. If you have ever done lamosse (sp) breathing it helped me allot. The Dr gave me a mild sedative but I don't like pills so I do the breathing. You need to relax, if it persists and is making you nervous push the issue with your Dr. change Dr's if you have to. But follow through and be persistent till you get the answer you need. Good luck

Meditation, maybe.\n\nI like simple breathing meditations, you just sit quietly and be conscious of only your breathing for about a minute.\nIt will feel like a year. It will be horribly boring.\nBut afterwards I feel refreshed and I have quieted my heart.\n\nGive it a try- you'll only be bored for a minute.\nIf it helps you at all you can find lots of helpful books and music, meditation guides etc. at this site-

This is a possible sign of high blood sugar levels. Dry, itchy skin is often an indicator of such a reaction taking place. You may not feel bad or have any other symptoms of high blood sugar, but this could be a warning to you. Test your blood sugar regularly and keep an eye out for this sign. \nIf the problem doesn't clear up and your blood sugar levels are normal / acceptable, consult with your doctor about it. He / she may be able to treat this annoying condition or recommend you to a dermatologist. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...
