Luckily we have a "switch" inside our physical body to counteract stress. Even though it goes unnoticed and is unknowingly activated daily by most for other reasons.

    You might have noticed it before, it's this extremely blissful subtle energy that's activated when experiencing Frisson, or as the Runner's High, as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, during an ASMR session and as Chills from positive events/stimuli.

    In ancient Chinese culture and ancient Indian culture, they observed that when activated, this can cause a few physical reactions like controlling your temperature, dilating your pupils, controlling your heartbeat, perspiration, smiling, teary eyes, flooding yourself with euphoria or activating in certain parts of your body and of course goosebumps.

    This soothing subtle energy can be learned to be activated as you please without any outside stimuli, with just the simple intention of experiencing it. So imagine how helpful it can be when faced with unwanted stress/anxiety. You can even feel it over your whole body, flooding your being with its natural ecstasy and master it to the point of controlling its duration.

    In the eastern part of the world they discovered that it can be made to flow through the body via channels coined as Meridians or Nadis that encompass the entire human body.

    It has been documented in various cultures and has been coined under many names like Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Qi, Runner'sHigh, Euphoria, ASMR, Ecstasy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Mana, Vayus, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

    Now for some of you that say that stress is good should consider that there are two types of stress and oxidative stress has been linked to several neurological diseases (i.e., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, depression, and memory loss).

    If you are interested in learning how to active this whenever you please, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth on how you can control this subtle energy and to understand where it comes from.

    P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on the community r / Spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.

      Reading Wim Hof’s articles was life changing for me. I am a stressed person. Part of it is my genetics but another part of it is growing up through a time where fear mongering is constant.

      Rather than distracting yourself with dopamine hits, you can hijack your body’s production of serotonin by exposing yourself to extreme cold. I’ve started taking ice cold showers in the morning and it sets you up to feel amazing the whole day.
