Never heard of that before, sounds really intresting! I can't really do it at will the adrenaline rush if it's even that what im feeling.. But when i listen to certain music or a movie, i get these goose bumps. Just searched some more info of it while writing this post.
"Another intense emotional situation that can cause goosebumps is the "fight or flight" response the body can employ in an extremely stressful situation. As the body prepares itself for either fighting or running, the sympathetic nervous system floods the blood with adrenaline (epinephrine)" It's probably this im feeling, might also explain my high metabolism lol.. "a hormone that speeds up heart rate, metabolism, and body temperature" Not sure how accurate wikipedia is though.
Kundalini energy!
It's being in tune with your energetic body therefore being in tune with your physical body, its most likely being able to set off certain chemicals in your brain at will. I get this sensation sometimes near the back of my head that feels like a pulsing radiant warmth. I always feel full of energy and content when this happens.
Basically being able to control your brain.
Hey Guys, been a while since I was on the forums but here is some updates.
I don't think it is adrenaline. It can be localized (like some users mentioned), but adrenaline/epinephrine like norepinephrine is secreted into the bloodstream by the adrenal grands and will activate alpha and beta receptors throughout the entire body.
Found some more people who can do this, most I found only associate it with increasing heartrate.
My best bet is direct sympathetic nervous activation (I can also give myself goosebumps, also an ANS function). Should however also release a bit of adrenaline so I'm not exactly sure.
Here is some questions to the people more inclined towards quantification:
Could you get a heart rate meter and do a before - during and after measurement of heartrate? (NOT CHANGING BREATHING PATTERN). I'm curious about what type of changes you guys will find...
Nice day to you all,
There's an app for iPhones that seems to reliably measure your heart rate by measuring the change of blood flow in your index finger (using the video camera and light). There's also one allows you to see your heart rate variance... which gives more insight than the average of that variance. Though I think that one costs quite a bit.
So if anyone wants to test it.... I'm sure you easily can.
Does anyone have a method they use to do this that you can explain to others that don't know how to do this?
I can do the same thing.. Idk what it's good for, but it's there. I use to actually play around with it on a device that measure my BPM, and I would make it skyrocket.
I'm not sure how to explain the process.. you just do it, like wiggling your ears. I suppose a way to begin is to take a deep breath in, and when breathing out, imagine energy flowing through your neck, to your check to your limbs and feet.. really feel the warmth and tingle of it. It makes my feet really warm and tingly. Soon you can do this without taking the breath. You can just induce it without preparation.
Hi my name's Sterling. I too have this so called "gift". Although after use it seems to have consequences. I can usually control this and use it when I want, but sometimes just thinking about it sets it off. I discovered this "gift" when I was 5 years old. I was at the park and had a play gun in my shirt so I could climb the jungle gym without holding it. When I slipped through the top of the Jungle gym the gun got caught in the hole on the top. I was left there hanging gasping for air. That's when it happened. I loud ringing in my ears and discoloration of my surroundings, as well as hearing my heart beat. I tore my shirt from the neck down with my hands. Dropping down to safety. I have problems with this "gift" going off without me triggering it. Does anyone have tips on honing this skill?
Hi. My name is not important. I wanted to say that I have this thing too.
Depending on my spiritual state at a certain moment I can produce a stronger or weaker 'rush'.
As to describe it, it is feels like a rush of energy, vibrating through your organism(or certain body parts).
I have studied this and got to the conclusion that it might be the well known qi.
Though I find it good, the only use i found for it is giving myself vitality and energy.
OK. Now for the teaching. In order to produce this I concentrate on it. You have to visualize this tingling sensation starting from the center of your chest. For a stronger experience try to be in a very CALM state of mind and body. After getting used to doing it you will be able to do this at any given time and also concentrate it on a certain part of your body.
Good luck with it. ;)
Later edit: The best describing is giving an impulse to the nervous system.
Hello everybody, i am Michael and a new member of this amazing forum..
since a few weeks i am digging a little deeper into releasing adrenaline on command.
Now the only times i release adrenaline is if i get really mad about something or someone. I CAN'T do it at will, yet.
Whenever i listen to music that have an impact on me or watch fight scenes i get some feeling, but it's just not the same feeling that i get when i am in this 'mad' state, i think the difference between them is that whenever i am so super mad i release adrenaline, and when i am watching these clips or listen to the music i guess its more of a testosterone release.. its like FUCK YEA LETS DO THIS! and i get this amazing feeling. a lot different then whenever i am mad.
I've had 2 times i really exploded out of madness.
First time was at school, i had a lot of friends in my class. But there was this kid that just loved to irritate people, he was a friend of a good friend of me. We went to gymnastics and once in the locker room he started to bully on me (i have never been bullied before) at first i was just ignoring him because he wasn't really touching me with his words and everybody laugh about us both, but he was really waiting for me to snap, and i did. Me (55kgs) grabbed his throat (he 90kgs) and pressed him very hard against the wall, it almost felt like i could lift him up. and my friend who was also friends with him came between us and said STOP IT! Look at his eyes (my eyes) and of course i didn't know how i looked. But it seems that my eyes look very dominant and aggressive when i am in this 'state'
The second time was almost the same but then the guy was choking everybody in our classroom for fun because he knew he was one of the strongest, and once he grabbed me i got into the same state and got myself lose and again dominated him with my eyes, he never did it again.
Just want to share this with you all, and u r welcome to give comments (please not about my grammar:D)
I am planning to dig deeper in these things.

I have had this "ability" for some time now and I thought that I might be the only one.LoL But its nice to see that other have such Abilities.I can do this "rush" at will but I find it much harder to do when I am at a bad state of mind or physical/emotional state,but some times it works vice versa and it makes it stronger depending on the situation.But when it comes I fell very strong and I fell no pain.I have even had my vision blurred in a euphoric sense of rage/serenity.When doing this in a relaxed state my heart rate seems to stay the same and my vision is not enhanced, so an "Adrenaline Rush" does not explain it.And there is also no fear while this "surge" is taking place.Its almost like a drug. I use it at the gym by inducing it with music and when I do, I can lift more.I also use it at concerts to destroy mosh pits,"even at 165pounds"LoL It was like my secret weapon if fights when I used to fight a lot.The only thing I wonder is that if I can harness it and control it better, can I strengthen it and what are the possibilities?How strong can it get?
Side Note- There are different variations and intensities of this "Power"
I found this thread on google while i was searching for an explanation for exactly the effect described by lots of you.
I dont remember at what point in my life i noticed it, i guess it was really while listening to music and feeling "on fire".
You know, when you watch an awesome movie scene, listen to music, or think of a certain positive energetic situation.
What happens is this energy rush, the same kind thats talked about here.
The aftereffect of that feeling is similar to being surprised or scared, but without the negativity.
I can induce that effect at will, too. Hard to describe how i do it...
-Like pressing something in my body into a small "ball"
-Using some kind of "muscle", although there is none. What i mean is, i dont have to actually forcefully "contract" any muscle in my body, it just feels that way. Somewhere someone wrote "wiggling a muscle inside the brain". I can see how it could feel that way too.
-When meditating: When breathing out, there are a few seconds at the end where i dont need to breathe in yet. Sort of like the opposite of holding my breath, but naturally, without effort. Now when im rather deep in meditation, at that point i would induce that "rush". Sort of like pushing more "energy" into the "outbreath", and its at those times when it has the greatest effect. It feels like the rush is pushing me further into a certain meditative state that feels very "blissful". I have experienced the extreme forms of that state in other situations in my life, partially while experimenting with LSD or DMT. ( I use "harder psychedelics" only sparingly and for investigating spiritual topics.).
So for me, this rush thing could be helpful as a "catalyst" into certain positive states of mind. Those states that are also described in lots of Hindu/Buddhist/spiritual texts and books. This is just my hypothesis, based on my reading and information-gathering.
-Sometimes also feels like the onset of MDMA or extasy, if you ever tried that. (Im not saying you should, just for information. Im really not abusing drugs or anything, tried it a few times thats it.).
Now i dont really know what this thing is, and i would really like to find out.
Is it just plain old "adrenaline"?
If it were, i dont know if one should overdo it, could throw something "off balance" in the body or whatever.
If not adrenaline, what else could it be? The child-wannabe-jedi-superhero in me would really like it to be something like "chi" or "universal energy" or anything similar psychic-meta-related, but i cant find anything about such a phenomenon online, that would show me if i can use this thing in a good, helpful, or effective way.
Anyhow, i just wanted to comment on this, since apparently there is no info whatsoever found on the topic. Please anyone write to me or share your findings if you ever stumble on something helpful or interesting.
Greetings from Germany
I do hope it's not an adrenaline rush what the OP is inducing, that's not a very smart thing to do :P
This if the first time I've actually looked at this thread, even though I've seen its title there for a long time.
I didn't read most of the posts, but reading the OP, I do believe I can do the same thing.
Or I can do something. I don't know exactly what it is. It's sort of a subtle clentching or something in my body. Or not 'clentching', just a focus. Similar to flexing your muscles I guess, but not that. Almost like in my genital area but not just there. There's a rushing feeling that spreads throughout my whole body, mostly in my torso but it goes to my arms and everywhere. I'd describe it like.. a combination between being shocked, getting an adrenalin rush, and a mild orgasm. I can do it at will at any time, but this if the first time I've really noticed it. I've always kinda assumed it's bad for me for some reason.
Damn I almost feel like it's some psychic power. Like I can move objects at will or something. Like if I extend my hand out I can focus the energy into my hand, and then it feels like my ability to touch stuff extends outside of my hand. :P I mean I'm sure that's bullshit but it won't stop me from trying!
Hello Mike,
Seeing as you are a psychology student:
It is a fight flight response yes. But where do you think that comes from? Indeed, the mind.
Let's say you see an animal running towards you, you anticipate a bloody collision and get an adrenaline rush.
Or maybe you are watching a sports game nearing it's end and you anticipate the final score causing an adrenaline spike.
Perhaps you are watching a movie waiting for the scary monster to come from around the corner, causing an adrenaline spike.
Etc etc.
If you have learned that the mind and adrenaline have nothing to do with eachother, change educational institution.
As a little background, I study a combo of human physiology and a whiff of cognitive neuroscience...
As a side note on this thread: I met someone who is having studies done on him (fMRI's and the whole shabam). He's able to control temperature, heart rate, sleep and even healing speed.
Cheers,
That is exactly it! For fun, hook yourself up to a heart monitor, sit perfectly still and do it. You will spike your heartrate. Autonomous nervous system control :)
I know what you're on about. I think it's either just the mind creating a fake tingling sensation throughout where you focus or you are actually sort of shivering your sking or muscle or something. The feeling is cool but it's probably the exact same as imagining you can see something or hear something which isn't there. Have you ever heard an insect flying around your face and you start to get phantom sensations that it's walking all over you? I can imagine that we are just simulating a tingly feeling in our body when we have this.
He sleeps 2:58 hours a day. Not in a polyphasic sleep schedule. Also when I did polyphasic I had trouble dreaming, he still dreams (lucidly by the way).
On this amount he functions optimally, he is experimenting in the next weeks to see if diminishing his meditation practices increase his sleep need. Intuitively I'd say yes, but normal logic doesn't really work with people like him. We confuse the hell out of our neurology professors (he: heartrate, temperature etx. Me: goosebumps and heartrate).
Sort of but not really, the thing is that it created a psychosomatic result. Heartrate is increased and other autonomous nervous elements are impacted. It is not just a placebo (which would be cool as well).
I never said it's just a placebo, I said it's probable that the majority of the effect is an actual sensation in the brain. Even if our heartrate is increased and other autonomous nervous elements are impacted it doesn't mean that the sensation isn't partially a placebo (as you said yourself).
I don't know what exactly happens to the body when we try to recall different feelings or emotions like fear or fright but as far as the sensations go they almost feel the same, which is more what I was getting at.
Getting into a different field here... All I know is that it is a form of psychosomatic control.
I have been able to do this since I was young. I was a gymnast at a young age and very into meditation/imagining and projecting in my mind my routines. I recall discovering and developing this ability as I meditated in bed and then imagined getting up suddenly, but didn't actually move my body. I did this quite frequently until the ability to trigger the contraction didn't require a second thought. Reading through this thread, it's very clear those who are describing what it is we are able to do and those imagining what it is like - attempting to connect it to emotion or something. It is as Chris and others have said. I can turn it on like any conscious decision. It feels almost as if there is a muscle tightening in the middle of my brain. During this "contraction", my vision goes blurry and I am weakened all over due to a not unpleasant euphoria. I generally need to take a big breath a few seconds after the "contraction". When I hold it longer, my hands shake - I feel energy rush around the top of my head, my forearms and hands. Following a "contraction" my stomach feels uneasy due to the falling feeling. It becomes increasingly more difficult to hold longer contractions - almost as it would with a muscle and a heavy load.
I don't know what this is any good for, but as it creates a very physical experience of moving energy, I act as if it directs energy out of my palms. I think it's possible that this energy can make people suggestible. It certainly doesn't move objects.
If someone wanted to try an exercise - I would experiment with directing the energy toward people who have an aura that looks good to you.
