Not able to Rez in world

I decided to return to the game and play more casually as my guild has relaxed a bit and I was doing my dailies in Vale of Eternal Blossoms where I died trying to kill more than I should. But upon releasing my spirit I realized I could not rez on my body even when sitting directly on top of my body. Not a big deal as I can just go to the spirit healer and deal with rez sickness for 10 mins but to a new player this bug could be off-putting
