Hello,

I just joined this forum, and this is going to be my first post. It is a bit hard writing about what I'm about to write about because I have never shared this information with anybody ever. Not my family, not my close friends, not even my fiancee. I think the reason I have never talked about this is because I have ignored it, never really put any thought into it, and was just pain scared to even mention it. But here recently I have been putting thought into what has happened to me in the past and now, and I'm not sure if it is real or I'm making it all up. I know there will be a lot of people that will read this and think I'm making it all up and that I'm looking for attention. But I guess I'm tired of ignoring what is happening, and if anybody believes me and would like to add their input that would be great. I guess I will tell you all the reason why I have come to this site.
As long as I can remember a series of things has happened to me or around me throughout my life. I don't remember all of them but the things I do remember stick with me. How do I start this.... I have been able to tell when something is going to happen minutes before it happens, I can do things others can't do, I get feelings and senses that rush through my body like an unexplained energy. For example one thing that comes in mind that has happened over and over again. During professional sports games like the NFL and Baseball, I have predicted interceptions, home runs, things of that nature up to 50 seconds before they happen. I see things out of the corners of my eyes, things I can't explain, things that are not normal. Sometimes I get dreams that are bizarre and out of this world, dreams of things talking to me. When I go to bed at night I remember doing things, like sleep walking, having conversations with things that are not there, and doing things that I would not normally do while awake. I remember doing these things but I can't stop myself. It is as if my body is not mine at the time like something else is controlling me. My fiancee has told me she has weird conversations with me at night time. For a living I'm a network administrator for a diesel company, I work on computers for a living. One thing that I have always been able to do it fix something without doing anything. There has been countless times were I would get a call from an employee that their computer is down, something is not working, or the computer just will not turn on. I will sit at the desk in front of the computer in question, touch the tower or the monitor and everything starts working as if nothing was ever wrong. It is kind of a joke here at work they call me the computer whisperer. But the weirdest thing of all happens maybe once every two weeks, it scares me but at the same time I look forward to it happening. Just to set this up a little bit and let you all in on something. I have horrible eyesight, a bum knee from high school football, and one ear that is nearly def. And what happens can happen anywhere, anytime of the day no matter the conditions. I can feel it when it is going to happen, my hair will stand on end, I get light headed, and really warm. All of a sudden I will get a rush of energy that surges through my body, it is so.... I don't know the word to describe it but I feel light, almost weight less and as the energy sweeps through my body all my muscles will relax but I can't help to arch my back and throw my head back as I feel like I'm floating up and stand on the tips of my toes. At this time I normally get a blood rush and get dizzy, but for those few seconds it seems all my senses are stronger, and I'm alert to everything around me. My hearing is better, my sight is stronger, my sense of smell is increased. But it then goes away as fast as it comes...
Sorry it was so long winded but I had to get it off my chest in hopes somebody can explain what is happening to me. I know this must seem really hard to believe because I'm not sure I believe it myself to be honest. Take it as you do I guess... Thanks for listening.

I think you need to do that first, before seeking advice on a web forum.

Your post combines many different experiences. Some seem altogether plausible. What concerns me, though, is this

That is on its face the report of a sleep disorder, and so a medical condition. I think you want to at least run that by a healthcare professional.

But also this

These episodes are also something to be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Please do not take this post as being confrontational, or dismissive of the reality of your experience. But I think you will find a much better, and more useful, discussion here if you could post: "Hi, this is my second thread here, and I have checked with my doctor, and everything is OK."

Your probably right. But I'm still afraid that a doctor is going to think I'm nuts and put me on some kind of medication that is not right for me. But I should just get over my fear and make an appointment. Thanks for listening and giving the advice.

Hi, I agree with Eight Bits. And also want to add, if you don't agree with a doctor's plan of treatment, you are entitled to a second opinion. Good luck and let us know how you made out.

Welcome to the forum..... thumbsup.gif

The bits I 've quoted, above.....made me think that it might be something to do with kundalini energy...
There are places on the internet.....like support forums.....that can help people who have spontaneous
erruptions of kundalini......to share experiences and support each other.......you'll need to google for it.

Yeah it for sure could be that. But wouldn't you want her to check herself out medically first? Not to mention that doesn't even really address the other issues she explained.

It could actually explain a lot of the other issues that the OP talked about.

'Gigabyte' can decide for themselves if they want to take this to a doctor....but
a doctor cannot address the 'kundalini' experience, IF this is what it is....I don't
know what a doctor would make of 'fixing computers without doing anything'...

Gigabyte sounds like they're psychic....but with other special talents....I've just
read the OP again.....and I'm still going with Kundalini energy...that, classically
surges through the body....sometimes up the spine, intensely....sometimes from
the head down....and sometimes just all over.....

The problem is, with Kundalini, one must meditate in order to have any kind of experience or symptoms. I agree he should go to the doctor just to rule out anything medical and then take it from there. He seems to be having some amazing premonitions, and maybe some sleep paralysis, but time will tell..JN

Wrong a Kundalini Awakening can come from many ways such as:

-Concentration = Meditation
-Aesthetics = religious art
-Relaxation = prayer, ritual
-Disorientation =Zen koans (cults use more drastic measures)
-Trauma = fasting, flagellation
-Breakthrough = Zen
-Redirection of sexual energy = Tantra, celibacy
-Physical activities = Hatha Yoga, etc.
-Breathwork = breathwork
-Near death experince

We've been through this before and many of us here, I have found, feel a sense of responsibility and refrain from giving advice leading a poster to not seek medical assessment, that could potentially be detrimental to a poster. Its the reason giving medical advice is against the rules.

Given all of the other symptoms the OP gave, which you still haven't addressed, she/he could be suffering from something other than experiencing a qi, ki, out-of-body experience, kundalini experience or other. I think it is responsible of us to recognize that it just might not be mystical in nature.

And I agree with what JN said. Perhaps after a clean bill of health has been achieved, then he/she can move forward onto some interesting experiences. As JN said, time will tell.

First, off you are not as alone as you think, I find it rather funny when people refer to themselves as the only one, when it is actually very widespread. I've been to doctors, but I have nothing mentally wrong with me. I used to not share my premonitions as well, until one day I decided hey...no big deal. SO, I shared one with my mother in a casual converastion for kicks, just sharing a 'dream' no harm right haha...then two days later it all came true and my mother's jaw dropped...seeing as how I had a conversation with the russian people I had worked with, in russian (in my dream), and...I actually have the whole story if anyone wants to read it, to make it short...the person I needed came to me two days later all the way from Russia, to NY, than down south to me right at Publix haha. Life is too funny, when you need something you'll know tongue.gif

The doctor is not going to lock you away. You must first be considered harmful to yourself and others.

I definitely believe in precognition-I just have no explanation to what it is. Psychics can often see things peripherally.

I would first get some scans done and talk to a psychiatrist. If no cause is found then find a professional researcher with very good credentials in the paranormal (check-background) field who works together with psychologists. Yes, they do work together sometimes. The psychologist will first do psychological evaluation of you. If they are serious & professional they will send you to a doctor first to check for epilepsy, brain chemistry, tumors and any anomolies of the brain etc.


Don't hide or hold this in you but do keep it private- (neighbors, friends) but do get professional help.

As 'mysticart' says.....this just isn't true....I, myself had a couple of spontaneous kundalini experiences..
a year and a half ago.....the classic intense electrical energy going up the spine....I don't meditate....

I wasn't overly concerned from the physical point of view...in fact I was thrilled that it had happened...
It was an incredibly intense physical sensation....and because I was aware of what kundalini was...I knew
straight away this is what was happening.....but because I didn't know anyone who had had it happen...
I joined a kundalini support forum for a while....I found this useful and informative....and I was amazed
at the wide ranging effects/symptoms that people experienced......it wasn't all...wow, far out, spiritual whatnots...
some people were suffering and wished it wasn't happening to them...it made what happened to me....seem
quite straight forward....it's an ongoing process...I find that I'm now more intuitive and in touch with the
'collective consciousness' or what-ever you want to call it....and get energy rushes/tingling around my body
when I tune into something important.....I'm getting it now, talking about kundalini...

Oh, and kundalini is a very physical experience.....and not just 'mystical in nature'...although there are
mystical/spiritual aspects....depending on the person.

First off Gigabyte, Welcome to the forum, and let me see if we can get you some answers.

Let me speak to Bee reall quick though-

You have gone on in your next post to describe an experience that you have had happen to yourself, a unique situation, something that I have not heard of in other people, and then gone ahead and rather quickly applied it to this person (who is also exibiting medical symptoms you have all too quickly overlooked) without any training or understanding of what is going on in the situation. It really is careless to do so. So yes, there is an issue of responsibility here. Once there is a clean bill of health then what paranormal experiences happen are wonderful and that is great, I encourage those experiences, but when folks are talking about symptoms that have implications; all bets are off.

Gigabyte You have some very interesting things going on in your life that are exciting to say the least, but I think that the most important thing that can be offered at this point is that it may very well be that you are experiencing some kind of sleep disturbances among other medical issues that really do need to be addressed by a doctor that are pretty serious in nature; folks are not qualified to deal with those kinds of issues at this forum; we have some medics and nurses, but this is not a medical forum and for that reason we stay clear of medical advice in our threads; it is just something that we really arent qualified to do...you know what I mean?

I think that it is important for you to speak to your family doctor and explain what you have explained the feelings you have described, (They border on seizure like activity)and issues that have happened at night with your wife. I believe that there may possibly be more going on than just a paranormal experience, but I think you need to speak to a doctor about it.

Your doctor wont think you are crazy, he wont put you in a straightjacket or anything like that original.gif He will want to make sure you are healthy though just like everyone else.

As for the premonitions that you are getting, I'd be interested in keeping a log of the events...that is just me...I have never had it happen, but I would want to know if there was any kind of trend...time of day...day of week...that kind of thing.

As for the fixing the computer without touching the computer...hmmmm...IDK.


Good luck, and please speak to a doctor ASAP.

In my own defence....no-where have I suggested that 'Gigabyte' does not go to the doctor.

I have put forward a suggestion that they may or may not wish to consider or look into.
As this person is holding down a job and has a significant relationship...and has written their
post in a clear, well-thought out way....I'm giving them the respect of them being a grown-up
rational person....that can handle a SUGGESTION of a POSSIBILITY.

If everyone else hadn't suggested that they go to the doctor.....I might have suggested that they go
for a general check up, myself.....but as everyone else has said go to the doctor...there was no need.

Wow, I'm really impressed with all of the responses I have been getting. Sorry I have not responded sooner been busy with work, and plus at this point and time I do not wish to view this site at home. I still have not told my fiancee about anything just yet, but I'm getting more confident that I can. I have been reading up on a lot of the forums here about astral projection and other members experiences. It has helped me gain I guess you could say some confidence to seek help, but at the same time it has given me time to think. Think about my medical history and things that have happened to me medically. I was in the doctors about a month and a half ago because I was getting chest pains. They took x-rays, and did all the basic things I guess they would do. They came up with nothing, and told me I was as healthy as an Ox. But then again they did not of course go as extensive as they would I'm sure if I told them what was going on with me. I can tell this is going to be a long post because I have a lot to say in reference to what everybody has responded with. First off to let everybody know I'm a 23 year old male, I'm of healthy weight and I'm physically active. I have yet to take the time to look up this kundalini energy but from the list that was given of way to achieve this. I'm a very active member of martial arts called Goju Ryu Budo Kai, an ancient Okinawan martial arts that is centered around meditating, and focusing our chi. So maybe this might fall under one of those categories? I have been doing this for 12 years now, don't ask my belt rank because I have no clue our system does not believe in it. Now when I was younger I did go through some surgery on my right ear because of an infection, I went through many different types of scans, and testing on my head. Then nothing came up and besides the ear infection I was healthy. But that was maybe ten years ago, so I'm sure something could of developed in that time period. I'm not sure if I said this or not but I do not smoke, or do any drugs of any type, but I do drink cider every other weekend on my payday so I can't say that I don't drink alcoholic beverages but it is pretty limited. I have setup a doctors visit for this Friday, and I will speak with a doctor about what is happening. So hopefully everything will be ok now. But until then I'm going to look more into this kundalini energy it caught my attention. Oh and one more thing that came to mind that I can do that I have yet to find anybody else that can do is I can raise my body temp on the inside and outside pretty high at will. All I have to do is do my breathing exercise from Goju and concentrate on warming up I guess you could say. I have done this before and made my body sweat, I also seem to be able to channel I guess is the proper way of putting it, to my hands. I have done it to my fiancee many times and it freaks her out that I can do that. Not a bad freak out but kind of a wow how do you do that kind of awe. My fiancee I think will be understanding of all of this because she is very much into paranormal happenings. Thanks for all the responses and ideas, I hope to have some good news to report when I get back from the doctors visit.

One more thing about the being able to "heat up" my body, I try not to do it to much because it drains me is the best way to put it. When I stop I feel a little sick to my stomach and sometimes get a very slight headache and I feel weak like I just ran a few miles non stop.

Also when it comes to the fixing computers with a touch it happens maybe 1 out of 5 times it does not do that every time, and it has been a while since I have umm... Predicted anything, well I take that back at least once a week I will all of a sudden be thinking of a song and I will turn on the radio and it will be playing on the local radio station. But always considered that to be a coincidence.

I never knew what it was either so what? Knowing a 'word' usually does not change your whole perspective, if you were scared before you probably still would be after knowing. For me I just knew that what was happening was for the best and sure some of the things I didn't want to see, but that's life and I wasn't going to be 'scared' by it...but em that's probably because I am naturally stubborn ha-ha


Other person as for the 'heat' you are burning energy...usually it is a calming sensation for most but for some it makes you very tired, for most just relaxed...aka massage therapy. Something to think about.

The other things can be psi or a side effect of things that are caused by sleepwalking. I would get the sleepwalking checked, as it can cause cognitive problems during the day that may lead you to believe that you are predicting things. Sleepwalking or a loss in sleep can cause problems in the way your mind perceives time and can cause a sort of mental "glitch" were you are led to believe you precognated something that has actually just happened.

The ability to fix a computer on the other hand does strike an interest. There is a psionic ability that some people have ( myself included ) sometimes called "machine ghost". When you do this are you...


A ) just touching the computer and wishing it to be fixed ? In this case it may be coincidence or related to the sleepwalking in the same way ( time perception )


B ) touching the computer with intent to fix it, and sending any kind of energy through the system as you attempt to "jump start it" by spiking your own energy ? Problems with a computers power supply can often be fixed this way. So if the main problem your fixing by doing this happens to be that the computer wont turn on, you may have something going on there.

Sleepwalking or a loss in sleep can cause problems in the way your mind perceives time and can cause a sort of mental "glitch" were you are led to believe you precognated something that has actually just happened.

The ability to fix a computer on the other hand does strike an interest. There is a psionic ability that some people have ( myself included ) sometimes called "machine ghost". When you do this are you...


A ) just touching the computer and wishing it to be fixed ? In this case it may be coincidence or related to the sleepwalking in the same way ( time perception )


B ) touching the computer with intent to fix it, and sending any kind of energy through the system as you attempt to "jump start it" by spiking your own energy ? Problems with a computers power supply can often be fixed this way. So if the main problem your fixing by doing this happens to be that the computer wont turn on, you may have something going on there.



Well, with the computer issue I have never really thought about it. I have always been really good with pc hardware ever since I was in school, I would be allowed to leave class to fix an issue with the computers when I had an internship at the local vocational college. I know I never go into a job or go to fix something wishing it would just work. I always go in with the info given to me by the user as to what they know is happening. Then I think of all the different things that could be affecting the hardware in question, before I actually go to work on it. And I would say 1 out of every 5 PC's I work on will all of a sudden start working again after I sit down at the pc. To give you an idea of what I work with and how often this is I have a network of 12 server, 84 desktops, 26 laptops, and 21 access points. Over the last weekend we had some violent storms that knocked out two of our servers and one of them happened to be the DHCP server. My boss called me up early Monday asking me to come in asap to see what I can do. I arrived to find him pulling wires and doing things that did not need to be done. I plugged everything back in and pushed the power button and everything came back online and the network was running 100% once again. He informed me that nothing was working before I arrived, that the server would not even power up. Oh and the doctor I'm seeing Friday is also going to help me find out if I have any sleeping issues.

I have known many gifted techs - sometimes the way people are wired up cognitively just lends itself to fixing electronics, etc. Same thing as people being more logically or artistically inclined.

Again, sorry, not an uncommon experience given the number of false reports, or elementary errors, by users - let alone unexpected glitches in the rather complex interactions between modern software and hardware.

Do you have surge protection/UPS? If not, you were indeed lucky to be able to get those servers to boot let alone work perfectly - I wouldn't be surprised to hear that those servers now give you more issues.
How do you know the wires didn't need to be pulled? Did your boss replace any of the cables?
Is your boss technically qualified? If not you essentially have a user running loose in the server room and I wouldn't trust them to turn on the light properly.

Good to hear that, and please make mention and go into detail of these situations:
QUOTE
All of a sudden I will get a rush of energy that surges through my body, it is so.... I don't know the word to describe it but I feel light, almost weight less and as the energy sweeps through my body all my muscles will relax but I can't help to arch my back and throw my head back as I feel like I'm floating up and stand on the tips of my toes. At this time I normally get a blood rush and get dizzy, but for those few seconds it seems all my senses are stronger, and I'm alert to everything around me. My hearing is better, my sight is stronger, my sense of smell is increased. But it then goes away as fast as it comes...

as they are some of thye symptoms of an aura and some of your other descriptions match a general absence type seizure; I am not saying that is what you had, or are having, or am trying to diagnose you, but in my field if someone came to me with those symptoms I would be trying to transport them for a checkup...



QUOTE
Simple partial seizure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simple partial seizure
Simple partial seizures are seizures which affect only a small region of the brain, often the temporal lobes and/or hippocampi. Simple partial seizures are often precursors to larger seizures, where the abnormal electrical activity spreads to a larger area of (or all of) the brain, usually resulting in a complex partial seizure or a tonic-clonic seizure. In this case they are often known as an aura.
Presentation
Simple partial seizures are a very subjective experience, and the symptoms of a simple partial seizure vary greatly between people. This is due to the varying locations of the brain the seizures originate in, and a simple partial seizure may go unnoticed by others or shrugged off by the sufferer as merely a "funny turn".

When the seizure occurs during sleep, the person will often become semi-conscious and act out a dream while engaging with the environment as normal, and objects and people usually appear normal or only slightly distorted, being able to communicate with them on an otherwise normal level. However, since the person is acting in a dream-like state, they will assimilate any hallucinations or delusions into their communication, often speaking to a hallucinatory person or speaking of events or thoughts normally pertaining to a dream or other hallucination.

However, there are some common symptoms experienced by those having a simple partial seizure.

While awake some common symptoms of simple partial seizures are:

preserved consciousness
sudden and inexplainable feelings of fear, anger, sadness, or nausea
experiencing of unusual feelings or sensations
altered sense of hearing, smelling, tasting, seeing, and tactile perception (sensory illusions and/or hallucinations), or feeling as though the environment is not real or detachment from the environment (depersonalization)
déjà vu (familiarity) or jamais vu (infamiliarity)
laboured speech or inability to speak at all
amnesia around the seizure event and sometimes events which occurred before the seizure
While asleep symptoms include:

onset usually in REM sleep
dream like state
appearance of full consciousness
hallucinations and/or delusions
behavior or visions typical in dreams
ability to engage with the environment and other people as in full consciousness, though often behaving abnormally, erratically, or failing to be coherent
complete amnesia or assimilating the memory as though it was a normal dream on regaining full consciousness


QUOTE
Auras and warnings

People with tonic clonic seizures may or may not experience a warning. Some people experience a sensation called an aura before a seizure starts.

The aura may occur far enough in advance to give people time to lie down and prevent injury from falling.

The type of aura experienced varies from person to person, as auras are in fact a simple partial seizure, for example: a change in body temperature, a feeling of tension or anxiety, a strange taste or smell, even musical sounds or visual disturbance. Auras are not necessarily followed by a tonic clonic seizure. Where this does happen, it is known as a secondary generalised seizure.

Some people report a sense of heaviness, depression or general feeling of not being quite right in themselves before a seizure. This experience can happen for hours or days before they have a seizure. Doctors call this a prodrome and, if a person can learn to recognise it, it can be a useful guide.


Although what you described does not match perfectly the symptoms, it is close enough, that I would urge you to at least mention it to your doctor.

I would seriously doubt anything paranormal is going on here. Machine ghosting is a calculated and intentional attempt to pass energy through a mechanical system at a specific point in order to change its functionality. As far as I know, it is something that is always learned and no one has ever been born with it. If you had this skill, you would know it.

The occasional computer that turns out to have no real problem or seems to "fix itself" is not uncommon. I used to work in a small offroad computer shop, and we received many computers that either had no issue, or the issue was different and trivial then what the client claimed ( PEBCAP ). There are also cases were the problem may have been related to overheating or server/bandwidth overload or an external device causing the issue ( one customers computer was crashing at startup due to detecting an external ethernet adapter. Of course once we received just the computer there was no issue tongue.gif ).

Point being: follow the others advice and good luck on your doctor's visits.

One more thing about the being able to "heat up" my body, I try not to do it to much because it drains me is the best way to put it. When I stop I feel a little sick to my stomach and sometimes get a very slight headache and I feel weak like I just ran a few miles non stop.

Also when it comes to the fixing computers with a touch it happens maybe 1 out of 5 times it does not do that every time, and it has been a while since I have umm... Predicted anything, well I take that back at least once a week I will all of a sudden be thinking of a song and I will turn on the radio and it will be playing on the local radio station. But always considered that to be a coincidence.



My son can heat up his body and so can I.

I used make myself get fevers so I wouldn't have to go to school.

My son can heat up the whole room. Our friends and his friends are baffeled by this. But i don't think its paranormal. I just think it's the same as controlling your heart rate or people being able to fool a lie detector test. It's a mind-body connection, that's all.

I just asked my son about if he feels drained from doing it, and he said that yes,it is very draining. It drained me mentally and he said that he is mentally & physically drained afterwards.


His clothing and bed are soaked wet from doing this afterwards. Oddly, I didn't sweat as a child when I did this.

It doesn't have to drain you, if you do it properly. It's like overdoing something of course it is going to tire you out, but not if you are redirecting the heat...that means moving it on to someone else, thus making them feel 'mildly relaxed', while you are gaining energy. I do this to people all the time, especially if I am giving someone a massage, deep massage is ususally best for this and makes them unaware of what is happening for the most part...so they just feel relaxed.

The body is amazing it can do so many things, pain is just our brain sending messages. I too am physically able to change my temperature, pulse, heart rate and all of that stuff...I've proven it on machines at biofeedback places, neurologists, and regular doctors in general. By controlling my body more in the past few years alone my blood pressure is really good, because when I was littler it was abnormally high for certain periods of time without any explanation (because I always ate healthly/exercised)

I soon began to get scared when I had my blood pressure measured because I was scared it would get high, so I began tricking my mind into 'behaving' to calm down when they took it, and after I did that for a while I actually got so low as to be considered into a 'triathalons' range...though you have to be careful not to get too low as it can be harmful. Since I am more sensative to things in general compared to most people, I have to constantly remind myself to control my breathing, muscles, temperature or so forth...if I don't it becomes out of wack again.

We never tried to transport the heat to someone else. I don't think I can do that.

I can do the blood pressure thing too. I usually do it to mess with the doctors wink2.gif . Childish I know. I think all people can change their blood pressure by their moods/thoughts. You can raise it by thinking of something that makes you angry also.

Mr. lost, scared and confused. How old are you? I used to sleep walk as a kid. The last time was as a Freshman in college.
Scared the bejeebers out of my roommate. Of course, he was a little weird himself. He slept with his eyes open. Made
him look like like a corpse.

So I am suggesting that you might just grow out of it.

While we are waiting for Gigabyte's return with his clean bill of health, I think it is OK for us to discuss the heat buisness without intruding on the forbidden realm of medical advice.

While Fluffybunny did call attention to that as a possible element of some people's prelude to an anomalous episode, because it is for some people, what Gig reported about himself was the ordinary, usual, and healthy achievement of conscious control over an autonomic function.

It has been fully understood, and uncontroversial, for about thirty-five years that a principal reason why many autonomic functions are not routinely consciously directed is the lack of direct sensation of the state of the autonomic function.

For instance, we cannot "take our own bloodpressure" without artificial assistance, nor perceive changes in it directly. So. most of us simply fail to learn how to influence it.

The experimental demonstration that we can influence it is straightforward. Provide some consciously apprehensible signal, like the output of a monitor. Give people an incentive to control it (perhaps as little as "wouldn't it be cool to..."), and in the best tradition of learning to walk, we learn. And how does the newly adept manage this feat? "I just do it."

All the Star Trek sickbay trappings of "biofeedback" can be dispensed with. Some people will simply "stumble upon" control without artificial feedback. One day, they "just do" something, enjoy the effects, and find that they can "just do" likewise whenever they want, with similar results.

Blood pressure is a dramatic example, and clinically controversial. If someone has a physical problem, then that may prevent them from controlling their blood pressure enough for good health. Also, as with conscious control of anything, just because someone can control something doesn't mean they will.

Nobody, not even a nicotine addict, needs to smoke. Nobody needs to overeat. So, no matter how good natural control might be, there remains a role for other kinds of clinical interventions. (Translation: nothing in this post is advice to anybody to contemplate their bellybutton instead of taking their prescribed meds.)

Surface temperature is primarily a matter of bloodflow. Almost everybody learns some conscious control of some aspects of bloodflow.

How to say this delicately? Most people of both sexes can dramatically redirect bloodflow to selected peripheral sites simply by a few moments' contemplation of how the species continues.

There is no mystery here. Directing warm water (such as blood at core temperature) to the surface of your body will in fact warm the surface of your body. Much of your direct perception of warmth is located at the surface, so you will feel warm.. If you warm your surface enough, then you will sweat. Other people will feel the warmth of your skin because your skin is warm.

Will this be draining? If you do it enough, then it will. All that warmth is heat lost from the blood. You need the blood in your core to be at core temperature (that, too, is an autonomic function, and there is some wiggle room - but I think it is a lousy idea to mess with that). That's the same blood that was at your surface moments before, losing heat to the environment. So, you must consume energy to heat the blood up again.

That is, you must do work, and if you work, then you will feel fatigue. Work a little bit, and maybe throw in some fun like social interaction, and you won't notice it, or even enjoy it. Do it enough, and you will keel over from exhaustion. Whether running marathons, or just radiating heat with abandon, work is work, and you can only do so much.

This is not "psi." It is as mystical as turning on the hot water tap.
puridalan
I redirect my bloodflow as well, but you should be careuful when doing that because your body can fight against it causing massive headaches and prolonged fatigue, but again if you NEED to change it..your body will let you know.

There is nothing wrong with talking about the heat, I've actually discussed it with several doctors and none of it is really that shocking, transfering heat to someone is not difficult. Just put your hands near them, and 'push' the heat out...something to that degree.

O, and you don't have to be angry to heat yourself up, just thinking about it...or better yet not thinking about it sometimes makes the difference

Ok well I got back from the doctor just about an hour ago. I told the doctor everything, and well he actually kind of laughed at some of it. But needless to say he said he was glad I decided to get checked out. He ran the normal checkup on me and hooked me up to one of those machines were they put the sticky tabs on your chest. And in the end he said I was very healthy but I did have a slight irregular heartbeat. But I knew about that and a few years ago another doctor put me on a 24hr heart monitor and it turned out to be OK. He said with my sleeping habits there was not much he could do but refer me to a specialist. But to him what I described he said it could be sleep apnea. So when I have the money I will set up an appointment with the doctor he referred me to. That is all I have for now.

That's good news. But they need to do a scan additionally.My husband has sleep apnea and my daughter used to have night terrors and sleepwalk. But someone told me the sleepwalking runs in families. Don't know if true.

Sleep apnea is very dangerous to your health (damages heart & brain) over time.

That's great, Gigabyte. Sounds as if you accomplished a lot today.

To me it sounds like your condition is made up of several underlying causes.

One part sounds like a physical medical thing, which I'd go to the doc and check up with.

Secondly it sounds like a mental thing, which I'd go to either a psychiatrist or hypnotherapist to check out (personally I prefer hypnotherapy as that usually goes more to the bottom lying cause of the effect and resolves it, while the psychiatric institution have an over-tendency to just hand out pills)

Thirdly it sounds like a spiritual thing, such as possible psychic abilities, kundalini rising, and other energy sensations. For that I'd check out with some healer, psychic, shaman etc.

IF you want, feel free to check out my post "Offering an helping hand" at: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...howtopic=124456

Good news that your general health is ok.

The doctor has made a suggestion of getting tested for sleep apnea.....in the meantime....
before you get tested.....I'd suggest that you try and sleep on your side, rather than your
back....because I think this can help if it is apnea....my mother went through some hair-raising
experiences in the night regarding apnea....but found sleeping on her side was a big help.

I think 'darkbreed' has made some good points in the previous post.

Gigabyte
Ok I have another update for everybody, I went to a sleep specialist that a doctor referred to me. They ran a few tests on me, blood work, and did a physical along with other "normal" routine testing. The doctor then had me sleep over night hooked up to two different machines that monitored a few things while I slept. He also had a digital recorder that recorded anything I said as I slept. The next day I went home and he said he would contact me when he got the news from all the data. He called me two days later to tell me that I do not have sleep apnea, but he said I'm still not getting a full nights rest because I have nightmares. He said that it is caused when the body is tired but the mind is still awake because I might be going to bed soon after doing something active. Which does not give my mind time to slow down and chill out I guess you could say. And now that I think about it I do play video games at night time and the doctor told me to give myself 30min-1 hr before I go to bed after I play game. He can give me a sleep aid that helps relax everything and give me better sleep, or I can go see a shrink... So there is the up date, I didn't know dreams could do this to you but I guess I living proof it can.

Hey, Gig. Sounds like you're really on top of all this, and great news about no sleep apnea. Well done!

hi Gigabyte!,
I am kind of late reading this thread but read it from start to finish tonight. Very interesting wink2.gif

I'm really glad that you updated everyone so well. Very happy that the doc's give you a clean bill of health too! I think you got a lot of good input and advice. Obviously, Nightmares can cause a lot of strange things (even when we are awake) but could they be the cause of all of your experiences? IMO, I don't believe so (JMO). Like Darkbreed.. I think more than one thing might be at work here. After you settle into a new relaxing routine as prescribed by the doc I hope you come back again and update us. Let us know how your doing. If indeed this does fix/change Every Thing, I will be surprised. Don't get me wrong, I will be Very happy For you, grin2.gif Just surprised! ohmy.gif

I only wish you the best!
