what is this feeling?

[shizomou]

There is this "thing" I can do where, when I do it, I feel this sensation of energy or something going thru my whole body. I've been able to do it for a few years now but it's progressively has gone thru more.
When I first started doing it, I could only feel it below my waist, but as the years have gone by I can now feel it throughout my entire body, all the way up to my head.
It's kind of the a pulsating feeling,going up and down my body, and it's a little hard to hold for long periods of time. Although, after all these years, I am able to hold it longer than I was when I first started it.
I asked my doctor if there was something natural about this, but he acted like I was delusional or something. So has anyone heard of anything like this?

I'm not sure if its the same thing but I believe your spirit. I can kind of do that but it usually forms a ball in my chest. Last night I got more like you described.

that pulsating feeling is what you call chi. I practice meditation everyday, and i get the exact same experiences as well. when i was a kid, i didn't do anything to cultivate my chi, but sometimes at night i would get the same sensations as described by you. most adults have been drained of much of their life force and therefore virtually, if not, ever feel it.

see the thing is I can control whether I feel this or not. at another forum someone said it was kundalini, is that the same thing as chi just different word for it in another culture?
