So this releasing crap just keeps going, huh?

My experience with tajiquan has been such that I feel like I'm constantly experiencing new epiphanies. I'm obsessed wth training and thinking about it, reading about it.
My latest epiphany is really dialing into the relaxation and release. I feel like it's getting incredibly deep.
And then hiding under that "last" bit of tension is not only MORE tension, but ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF TENSION!
I find myself holding energy the way I hold muscular tension and having to make sure I keep it moving to keep from hurting myself by inducing cramps and spasms.
I thought this was supposed to get easier and I feel like I'm in more danger than ever. It's not fair.
My wife was watching me do my form this afternoon and she told me it looked like I was vibrating.
I showed her how in my arms there are points in the movements where they do vibrate, always in the same place, always in the same way. I only noticed it in my right arm but she said it was all over my body.
I can only think that it is due to reaching a certain point of release. I have found and mainly removed the excess energy and tension mentally but there is still a residual tension that my movements are fighting against that causes friction them to catch and vibrate like rubbing your finger on the rim of a wine glass.
I don't feel any vibration but it is pretty visible.
Sound familiar at all to anyone?
