Conscious Release of Adrenaline?

Disclaimer: I'm not an endocrinologist, so I might have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

For about a decade, since my early teens, I've had an ability to induce a set of sensations within myself at will. First I feel like there is something in the back of my head that tenses just a little bit, then I feel a tickling sort of sensation throughout the backs of my legs. From the back part of the upper thighs down to the ankles. Sometimes I can't quite control the intensity. I get carried away and the tingling gets to be too much and I spasm for a second to let out the steam. I can repeatedly activate and disable this mechanism several times a second. My best guess so far is that I can somehow release small amounts of adrenaline into my system at will.

Does anybody else experience this? Any explanations?

I can will myself stoned... does that count? Well, I can react to people the way I would if I was, at least. And see things the way I would that way. I just have to think about it a lot.

Not sure I entirely relate, though. I just know I can will a certain state of consciousness on myself, but I've never had that out of control-ness about it that you have.

Sounds like seizures.

I have anxiety. I get bursts of adrenaline at random times, unwillingly.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I'm thinking the OP is referring to some sort of nascent Force abilities.

As an epileptic I can usually sense an impending seizure and make preparations (like lay down or get to a place of safety before they start).

I once managed to break a seizure to answer a door and talk to a neighbour in an odd fashion for a few seconds before resuming the attack.

I've never heard of anyone being able to will them into happening but the Seizure Condition spectrum throws a very wide net so I wouldn't be surprised (not like that time I picked up taxi cab radio on my fillings, now that was weird).

Sounds like an orgasm, to me.

Men don't have organisms dear...it's a myth.

Like the penis, everyone talks about penises but can you find one on a man?

I know I can't.

That actually sounds more like a mild panic attack to me. At least, when I have panic attacks, they are accompanied by a weird tenseness in the back of my head, tickling/tingling in my extremities, and an overwhelming desire to spasm to release a feeling of building energy. But a panic attack will also include a feeling of dread. How do you feel, emotionally speaking, when this happens?

The mind is an incredible thing, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that you are able to consciously alter levels of hormones, or release some neurotransmitters. There are monks that can raise their body temperature at will, so who knows?

Maybe it's like how I can close off my nose by flexing some muscle up there and not have to smell anything.

Very, very advantageous.

You may not have been talking penises back then but I can tell it was on the tip of you tongue.

No I don't feel "panicked" or a sense of dread like what you are describing. I can will this sensation in calm moments when I have no distractions and obligations and also when I'm behind the wheel on the way to an appointment/class/whatever. I think I might have myself MRI'd or something to get to the bottom of this.

Is this what using the Force feels like? :P

You should have your ears checked too. My current inner ear problems have created some very strange effects.

Also MRI results can be inconclusive.

Get someone to observe you doing it.

If you can will it to happen try doing that in front of a doctor.

Not really sure what this would accomplish. There's nothing to see. If I did this, the other person might as well think I'm just making up a bunch of BS.

Definitely worth pursuing. I've looked around the intertubes for others who have this condition/ability. Kind of concerned that there might be something wrong with me.

You might think there is nothing to see but it wasn't until an expert talked to me and noticed my absence seizures and listened to accounts of my then routine grand mal seizures that I was properly medicated.

Show someone what you mean and maybe you will present with symptoms that only an expert can understand.

Pink Floyd's "A Conscious Release Of Adrenaline"

doesn't sound too bad.

The double album would include a second album of unreleased material entitled "An Unconscious Release of Adrenaline."

Hi mate. Experiencing exactly the same thing since 15 yrs ago… was looking in the net if anyone knows what this is and i spotted this post. Interesting thing is that i use it when i am too sleepy and it gives me a boost and wakens me up for abt 15-20 mins. Would appreciate if you have found what it is.
