There is a fascinating aspect of human physiology that I've personally experienced: the ability to initiate sensations akin to an adrenaline rush at will, without the need for external triggers. Through personal exploration and discussions with medical professionals, it's become apparent that this ability involves a deliberate activation of specific musculature, possibly connected to the autonomic nervous system. This activation induces a sympathetic nervous system response, leading to the release of adrenaline and subsequent physiological changes such as increased heart rate and pupil dilation. What sets this phenomenon apart is its self-initiated nature, devoid of any external triggers. While not extensively discussed in scientific literature, I believe it holds significant potential for further exploration. Have any of you encountered similar self-initiated physiological responses or come across relevant research in this area? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and engage in discussions about this intriguing aspect of human physiology. I’ve had this happen my whole life I don’t discuss it because rarely anyone can relate I can start it in my head then thighs and then torso area I’ll add I can hold it for subs four seconds due to intensity Van anyone relate or maybe she’d some light on the topic? Thank you ps-no, I’m not CRAZY nor have ASMR

Every first time poster here is here because the internet information on this topic is absent. I can’t find anything except for a few Reddit posts which have the same outcome- Nobody knows. It’s a strange thing to be able to do so we search. As a child I’d skip to my friends house and I’d be excited and I would envelope this sensation. I grew up and thought it felt like I was releasing some sort of chemical in my body. Mine starts in my brain where I believe it initiates. I think I want to feel it and I pull it from my brain. Starts in the torso mid area Then it goes right to the legs. Fizzles out after 6-8 seconds. I have begun to be able to hold it longer recently. No. It’s more of a release of chemical not like I know that feeling but I’m releasing something without mick f anything. I’d describe it as butterflies in the stomach, electric shock but less dramatic, tingling sensation and intense feeling that you cannot take for long. It’s not bad or great.

I too made an account just to read and respond to this question. I’ve had the same question for many years with no explanation. Since I was a kid I could voluntarily make this sensation just like you described. I could do it while walking and running as a child but today (47) I must be sitting or laying down. I can also wiggle my ears not sure why everyone mentions that here. I’ve only met in person one other person who can also relate. Did anyone find an answer yet? I need to know something more. It’s almost a special superpower and that’s the only conclusion I have. There’s been a few Reddit posts but they all end with some people relating with no answers.
