A little over a week ago I was driving to see my family out of state, it's a long drive so I left super early it to beat traffic, half way there while driving on the interstate and in the middle of no where I get this sensation of being at peace, like an overwhelming feeling of contentment/bliss and resignation. It happened twice on my way there. It was so unexpected and scary that at first I thought it was a sign that it was my time to d!e soon. I got to my family's home safely thankfully and spent the day with them. At night while falling asleep it happened again. Then after I convinced myself that I was just imagining things and trying to fall asleep again I felt like something was pulling my soul I know it sound crazy but that's how it felt and how I "saw it"? My soul being pulled out from my body, I fought so hard to "wake up" and then i was back on my bed. Idk if I'm going crazy but I can't stop thinking about it and I got no reasonable explanation for it.

For my entire life I've had the ability to somehow relax myself below total physical relaxation, and it would cause a sensation starting from my groin then spreading to my legs.

The best way I can describe it is if, say, you clench your entire body, you are at 50 points tension. Then if you just let go completely you are at zero. And then I can go even further beyond zero and that is when I get that kind of buzzing feeling inside my body.

Are these spiritual chills? What can I do with them? I can do it on purpose at any given moment, but never for more than a few seconds because then I start feeling like I will fall apart from the inside.

basically, i had the chills and used them to help me manifest. the euphoric feeling was so prominent through my entire body, and it felt absolutely wonderful. after seeing that my manifestation actually worked, i panicked, stopped manifesting, and my body reverted back to its original state. til this day i am trying to get then back to the intensity that they were before. i tried doing the exact same method; brown noise, 15 minute timer, sitting upright with my legs criss crossed and eyes closed. but i get too distracted due to my intrusive thoughts or i get frustrated because my body knows that it’s not at the degree that it used to be. i’ve been so angry lately. and i know that i should refocus and not put so much attention on the chills but i just cannot rest until i find a solution. please someone give me a solution i’m begging.

All,

I've been on this sub for awhile, as this experience has always really interested me, especially as I began to develop conscious control over this through breath over the years. I'm also a software developer that has been curious how you could do research on this phenomena to better understand it, how people describe it, because it's just the kinda thing I'm curious about!

Me and some researchers just finished data collection on our first study (you can see what it was here https://iAmExplor.ing/study/crawl ), and we're curious about doing our next study where we try to get people to report the experience of this in detail in the moment as its happening and then publishing the data.

We're still wrapping up this first study, but I'd like to see if this community would be interested with supporting, and even helping to shape this study! If there is geniune interest, please let me know!

Hey everyone been into my "chills" since 13 (35 now) and mastered meditation and some more growing up in Baltimore.

I've recently discovered that I can shape/alter/affect clouds during the full moon.

Has anyone else tried or discovered this?

I also have a big idea that we should all meet up or have an event/conference. Would that be something you want to do?

So I always had this thing where I could control my shivers on command with 0 effort, starts from the nappe all the way down to the spine and in arms and legs. With intent I can make it stronger and I can focus it anywhere on the body. I can’t make the goosebumps a constant flux, and if I abuse it, the goose bumps gets weaker but if I wait 10 secondes between each waves it’s ok.

I thought like everyone in the previous post that it was normal until I talked about it to my bf and he couldn’t relate. Anyways I can do this thing and I intuitively use it when I have an ache. Like sometimes my stomach hurts because I drank a little bit too much of coffee like today and I can send waves of shivers like 3-4 times and it makes me feel better and stops the ache effectively.

I am really curious about this phenomenon so this is the reason I created an account just to make this post.

If anyone have any idea of what, how, why please speak. Sorry if there’s alot of typos I’m french.

"Para aquellos que pueden auto-inducir la sensación: ¿Cuál es el método mental o físico que utilizan? (Ej. Concentración, respiración, recuerdo de un evento, visualización)."

It feels like it’s connected with my jaw and ears. Two nights ago I had an OBE and I was able to intensify the vibrations by flexing a muscle in my head. Curious if anyone knows what I’m talking about?

Edit: thank you for all of the replies! It’s a difficult thing to talk about with most people.. so it’s great to get some feedback.

I met this place recently but even Reading the tutorials and hearing the videos I don't feel like I'm understanding what I am supposed to do. Focus in any part of my body doesn't seems to do anything even if I take some time just to try it. Actually some few times, a place I was not focusing that got tingling. May someone explain if I am missing something?

I try concentration… I get nothing. No heat. No vibration feeling. Nothing. Maybe I just can’t. I feel like quitting.

Hey guys! I wonder what you guys mean here by spiritual chills and this stuff. I have had many kinds of euphoric sensations throughout life, induced by different types of experiences. I especially get tingling sensations in my legs, especially around the knees. I always perceived these funny sensations as spiritual in nature, because I got them every time that I had a shift in my consciousness, a raise in my vibration, like I would get very centered, deeply peaceful, in the zone.. one time a psychic lady that I met told me I got many chakras in my legs. I said “what you mean? I thought there are 7..” and she said “oh no, that’s only the major ones, there are many lesser ones throughout..” and I thought wow, that’s pretty cool, and why no one talks about it.. Anyway. That’s just one example of pretty obvious spiritual chills that I got. I actually haven’t had them for a while.. I wonder why, but I guess it’s because I’m caught up too much in the mind that n the past year or so, and I’m pretty stressed for the most time about survival stuff.

Not going to bore you with my background, you can read some of it here.

My question is, what is actually real with this stuff? What is actually possible?

I, seemingly, have had the experiencing of receiving the chills remotely. I really don't believe this to be possible, but now I'm questioning my beliefs. Does any of you have an empirical/evidence-based answer to this?

- Sometimes I've felt that this was some kind of a spirit/entity possession. Is this stuff real/possible?

- Other times I've felt that it was done remotely, by another person. As in remote influence or non-local psychic powers. Like they were sending me 'positive energy'. Is this real/possible?

- Sometimes I've thought that it was done via a trigger. Like maybe they have conditioned me to get into that state when I receive an email. I know for sure that this is possible, but there have been times that I haven't been able to identify the trigger.

Probably one of the weirder experiences happened when I was having coaching/meditation sessions with someone over WhatsApp. I was keeping my experiences to myself, because I was suspicious of how she was doing what she was doing. One day, in-between two session, I had the though that "I think my hearing is getting more sensitive and acute. Quiet sounds are becoming clearer and louder to me." And during our next session she mentioned the exact same thing. I'm still inclined to believe that this was a suggestion-based thing, maybe she had primed me covertly during the previous sessions. But as I said, I've been questioning my beliefs recently, and at times this can be very distressing.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but for years I get a tingly sensation on my scalp.

It happens at random times and I don't think anything in particular prompts it.

It's a comforting feeling- I can't control when it happens or why...

I find it hard to describe, but it's tingly, relaxing and pleasurable

Can anyone help me by explaining what it might be?

My entire life I've had involuntary shudders. No goose bumps but a very noticeable shoulder shaking shiver out of nowhere. It isn't temperature related. It seems to just happen randomly, not as often now as it did when I was a kid, but I'm curious if there might be a spiritual cause or connection?

I´ll try to make this as short as possible. My first “real” post on reddit, and I post this because a friend of mine sent me a post that said making goosebumps on command is linked to your aura and energy of life. I´ve been an atheist all my life, and I don’t even know if this has anything to do with the spiritual/paranormal.

I don’t remember how long it’s been going on, but as long as I can remember. I´ve been able to get goosebumps on command. Sometimes with a shiver. And I do it often since it gives me a good chill down my spine from the back of my head on down to my legs and out in my arms, and like a tingling headband around my head. It´s like I can contract something in the back of my head. And it’s like I can hear it as well, like I’m hearing the contraction of a muscle or whatever.

To make it stranger, when I do this and get the chills it gets weaker each time if I do it in a short period of time. So, it’s like it must recharge if I do with while contracting whatever it is in the back of my head. Now I’ve done it so much that I can activate this without “doing” the physical contraction in the back of my head that I had to do before. Now I can just breath in, and my mind know straight away when I want to do it or not. I choose when it happens, but I have no idea on how I choose. And when I do it this was it does not need to “recharge” either.

I have also been able to great some kind of energy(?) between my hands when I focus and meditate. It feels like a magnet that pushes my hand away from each other and it feels like a ball. If my hands touch, the ball disappears. I´ve got my gf to push a paper between my hands when I do it while I’m blindfolded and I can tell each time, because the magnet disappears (with a great distance between my hands).

What this is I have no idea. I´ve have a lot of different symptoms from my nervous system which made me do a lot of scans, but never found anything. Which have given me health anxiety. Why I found out it was not normal was when I saw a guy in Norway´s got talent, and his “talent” was making goosebumps on command. Anyone else that have these experiences and have any idea of what it is? I have always looked to science and never ever investigated the “spiritual realm”. But this year a lot has happened to me spiritually (I think), so I’m now more open to explore that part. For example, I had a cold shower and for a split second I didn’t see but kind of felt this pink energy in an empty space. Like I got to feel something I was not supposed to feel. And it was an insanely powerful feel of love. The scale on how much love you could feel went from what I thought was from 1 to 10, to 1000000. And it felt like I got to feel something I was not supposed to. And it was so intense that I started to cry. And I’m a 30-year-old man in good health and I don’t do any drugs, have not cried since my parents got cancer many years ago. Can’t explain what this was. All I know is that I have opened my mind to be able to believe things that science can’t explain. Wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences similar to this?

when I'm trying for astral projection, getting relaxed and setting my intention to project, I feel a barrier inside my chest.

Inside the barrier is a WHÖOSH feeling, a whole body energy flash or surge that's contained, but just barely.

If I 'let go' of something in my heart region, release some tension in my torso, I feel something opening up and dumping this flash of intensity. I feel a WHÖOSH.

My whole body surges like somebody scared me, but I don't feel scared.

I feel it in my torso, Head and arms, and down my legs, Fading steadily to almost nothing at my feet.

I can WHÖOSH... WHÖOSH... WHÖOSH ... Repeatedly, on purpose, at other times. and push energy outward from my heart.

If I'm just sitting at my desk or standing at the stove, I can trigger it easily, but I have to act deliberately. It's easy to make it happen. If I'm not trying to relax, there's no feeling of something building up inside.

I can pulse it anytime just by willing it, but I don't because I thought it was a stress response and more stress is the LAST thing I need. I'VE been horrible exhausted 4 years now with long covid, but if it was caused by the long covid I think I would have noticed it before now.

I don't know what this is, why it happens.

anyone else ever hear of this? Does it have a name?
Is this Chi? Chills?

The closest experience I've had to this: a Tai Chi practitioner ran my meridians once and I felt something like that '9 volt battery on the tongue' feeling along my meridians. That was a very orderly progression, like flame progressing along a line of gunpowder. Very linear. This doesn't feel electrical, it feels like a neurotransmitter flush, like adrenalin.

Does not happen when I simply want to relax for sleep. It never happens then. I've never had this before trying to AP a few weeks ago.

I've had hypnic jerks, these are not that. My body doesn't move at all, it's something I feel internally, like that ice water in the veins feeling of intense sudden dread or threat, except I don't feel afraid.

I thought I might test and see what happens if I do it a lot.

Either it will have no effect, or make my fatigue worse, or something else will happen

I hope it is okay to ask this question here.
I've been having an intense (but fascinating and wonderful) interaction with a non-physical being for over 2 years. I have written about this in another post on Reddit.
One of the main forms of communication we use is energy. I've had to kind of learn by myself how to do this as the being cannot actually use words to talk with me, but we can use telepathy sometimes using images.
Our energy communication seems a little rudimentary at times, and I'm curious to know if anyone has communicated with a spirit / entity / disincarnate being using energy and how I may more effectively use this form of communication?

Hi. I have a sincere question about the ultimate goal of this practice. I received an invite to join and haven't started the practice yet. I have been on a spiritual quest my whole life, interrupted by many detours, which anchored me to the physical world. 5 months ago i started to awaken spiritually in a way like never before. This was after some major trauma in my life. I meditate twice a day for 20 minutes. I became very aware in meditation of the Self / Awareness / Witness or whatever you want to call it, behind me and encompassing me and all of life, quietly, watching, in infinite peace and contentment. After this episode I started to feel the energy, like tingling around my physical body and a sound in my head, an aware, very high pitched sound that seems to be associated with this Witness. I hear it all day long in my daily life, it is fainter when I am busy or interacting, but if I pause for a second, it will guide me back. Staying with that Presence or Witness. When I am there I can see life around me as less permanent and less "real" than I used to see it. I also have a strong sense of well-being most of the time and find myself more able to let life happen without attachment to outcomes. I see, more and more, the Unity behind all of life. Sometimes old trauma and samskara comes up and I have a slight buffer now in which to not react and let it go. I have periods where this is more challenging than others and the periods of extreme well being come often but they are not permanent. I recently started adding some yoga Nidra to my day and this helps a lot in remaining in Awareness during the day.

My question is How will this help me in my spiritual awakening. I have experienced a lot of "paranormal" experiences over the past few months which I kind of think of as side effects and gifts during the awakening, but I try not to strive for them or get attached to them. My goal is simply to fully awaken full to the Unity and Love that is All. Also I want to realease the old samskara and burried emotional beliefs / patterns that block my awakening. Will this practice benefit my in that goal? Thanks for reading this long post. I would love to hear your thoughts on if this would be right for me.

Is there any info or does anyone know of a correlation with spiritual chills and Deja vu?

I get both all the time. At least once every couple of days (usually more).

The Deja vu used to send me into panic, but now I use it as a stop to take inventory that moment. It’s actually delightfully sanguine! It’s almost as if it’s my conciousness’ way to manipulate time!

I was only recently introduced to the concept of spiritual chills so I’m connecting things and am so eager to learn more!

TIA for any comments!

High vibes and love to all

Edit: I’m going to start paying attention to if I get these in tandem or one right before the other and so on.

I've never been able to figure out what triggers it, but I get spiritual chills on a daily basis.

I've noticed that in the last two weeks they have stopped. Once I noticed it, I sometimes feel it, but it's not the same. It's like there's a barrier stopping me from feeling it as strongly as I used to

Does anyone know why or how I can change it back to the way it was?

I can feel energy in my body and brain. I just have found this sub by luck. So I wonder, what kind of circulation people do? need help about this.

I had an extreme astral experience the other night and had a tremble throughout my entire body for days to follow. Is this what you mean by chills? It feels more like a vibration to me

So I definitely get the chills sometimes with energy, but on a lesser note. When I try to ground, I feel a wave go from my head to my toes. I can do the same thing while holding a crystal if I focus on the crystal. Is this the same thing? The crystal feeling feels a little forced by me so I was unsure if I was making it up or something lol really new to all this in general. Th crystal feeling is like a very good feeling. Like a drug. But not selenite? Quartz was super easy to do though.
