    Sooo I can cause what honestly feels like a small and constant electrical current flow through any part of my body. If I center this feeling on my chest it is easily more prominent than anywhere else with my head being second. Extremities are dead last. If I am hooked up to a heart monitor I can make it freak out at will. Any location I focus it on tends to want to tense up.

    I like to tell people this is the result of me grabbing onto a metal item when I was younger that was still hot. Couldn’t let go for a solid 6-10 seconds, can’t say exactly how long. What I am able to do feels very similar.

      Still hot as in temperature or electricity?

        Electricity. Hand curled around it to grab and got rooted. I still remember the sensation of my repeating mental command to “LET GO” feeling as if it was slowly travelling down my arm. Weird is a word that comes to mind.

          Wow that’s wild, my only experience with that tingling feeling is testing 9V batteries with my tongue. I’ve had a healthy fear of electricity and always LOTO at work, so I’m hoping it stays that way.

            The wild part is it didn’t hurt. I don’t remember any pain at all. Just an intense knowledge that something was very wrong and I needed to get away as quickly as I could. But like no matter how hard I tried my body would not listen until that signal I mentioned hit my hand and I let go.

            I was also surrounded by people and not a single person noticed.

            But yeah, Iiii wouldn’t repeat the experience.
