The experiences are based on the sum total of your past [fabrications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%E1%B9%85kh%C4%81ra) and what has surfaced in a given time.

In the different times the [fabrications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%E1%B9%85kh%C4%81ra) that has surfaced are different hence the diversity of the experience.

Dwelling on matters like this will inevitably make you crave or be averse to some types of sensation hence regress in your pratice. You should just be aware regardless of if it is strong or not.

Having said this some times the strong sensations can be due to [rapture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%ABti).
