Physiology & Medicine / Re: Is it common or useful to be able to control goosebumps, and pulse, at will?
« on: 27/12/2015 18:31:30 »I kinda have that ability. I can control my body temperature and can make certain parts of my body grow warmer(without any physical movement), even under water. I can also handle temperatures pretty well, like picking up a glass pan out of 350° oven without being burned. I can not control goosebumps, but never tried. I do not know how, but I wish I knew, I kinda just wish to warm up by concentrating and I can... I am only 17 so I do not know that much about biology, but I am pretty sure that this is not normal[]. I can also not get cold if I wish too, like going outside in 20° weather or colder in shorts and short sleeves. I just found out I could do this last year when a friend was helping me dig a hole in the middle of the night and while we were resting I noticed his hand start becoming more visible. He then asked me if I noticed anything about his hand and then he was able to do his index finger. I have heard him say some weird things and finally decide to look up to see if anyone else had similar abilities as mine. I have also been able to burn people on the face and they said it felt similar to a rug-burn. I consider myself scientific, so I would like to explain this scientifically instead of mystically. I can also seem to control my breathing and heart rate, though I have not tested it on any machines. I also seem to be able to warm up my hand if I concentrate on another living thing that is close by, like a moth. I feel like I can sense other people's minds, but I think that is just me imagining things. If anyone can explain how I can do this, that would be wonderful. I have looked at other posts and found some terms I have not heard of like Yogis, charkras, and others that I am going to look up. I also heard people say that this is in a primal part of your brain and you should not be able to control it. But like I already said, any help would be greatly helpful.
