Electricity, heat, or current moving through the body
The most commonly reported physical phenomenon in the collection, appearing in four in ten accounts broadly. Described as electricity, heat, current, or vibration moving through the body, sometimes gentle and pleasurable, sometimes overwhelming or frightening.
Many accounts describe this not as metaphorical but as a literal physical sensation: something moving through the nervous system, often beginning in the base of the spine or the feet and moving upward. This is closely related to classical kundalini descriptions, though many accounts come from people with no prior knowledge of that tradition.
