Looks like I stumbled on this conversation a little late but I have found it in searching for answers as yourself.
I too can bring about this rush of endorphins at will. I have been doing it for as long as I can remember but I don't remember easily lol.
It also takes some concentration depending on my emotions at the time. But if my emotions are idle or neutral if I may then all it takes is the simple thought and an exhale and it begins. It starts in my head, heads down to the torso, extends to the arms and hands, and heads down the legs and feet. It can linger in the feet longer than other extremities for some reason but I be leave I have poor circulation in feet to begin with. And it's in breaths so after I exhale and the rush begins I simply inhale again and he process starts over, sometimes with more of a kick sometimes less. And this is probably due to only having so much feel good sauce in you at one time until it is replenished. haven't kept record of how much at each attempt simply because I thought that it was normal and why would anyone want to keep tract with such a basic reaction.
Never really thought to ask someone if they had the same control over it until I got married and my wife thought I was talking crazy lol. That spawned the second question, who else can? There are no real numbers out there of us I be leave but if I were to guess then it has to be within the 1 to 2 percentile maybe lower. And if what I'm reading is correct then we are not ment to have this amount of control of our bodies. But here we are all evolved, or simply a rare slip up in our genetics.
Next question is this good or bad? Well let's start with bad. The only thing I can think of is being so used to doing it on command might trump your bodies natural instinct to do it on its own when it needs to. So far that's not a problem because that same rush takes place when it needs to but it doesn't mix well with the extra fear that is normally accompanied with the fight or flight reflex.
So can it be good? I suppose if you enjoy that sense of relief. Or just having the option to begin with. I believe there's more at play with this subject than the simple feel good effect it beings. I think it needs to be studied a little bit more or at all really but people that are much smarter than I. Because it seems the questions and theories that run through my head when im trying to wrap my brain around it only lead to very bold conclusions about reality in general.
I really would like to know more about other people who have this ability on a personal standing. I want to see how different and alike we are in thought process and decision making. Because if my crazy theory is correct then we shouldn't be far off at all in these aspects.
