Goosebumps

Just wondering what your thoughts were on goosebumps.
I read a lot of things on spirituality to see what sort of agrees with me or whatever, and sometimes I'll get goosebumps all over when I read something.
It's as if something is saying "you're on the right track here..."
Also, when I meditate (I probably do it wrong, but what I do is breathe out and in audibly so I can hear it) I get goosebumps that seem to intensify.
Anyone have additional insight?

I'm finally waking up.
I love this shit.
I love you guys too.
But this goosebumps thing seems to only happen when I think of God or anything dealing with love, spirituality, and all of that gooooooood stuff.

Yes, I get this sometimes whenever I realize an epiphany. Also tingles traveling up and down my spine seems to be common; it also occurs whenever I hear a particularly beautiful piece of music or see an epic scene from a movie.

Happens when I come into contact with something profound

Awe is a feeling that hasn't been studied much. I read about it in some science magazine a while back and all I remember is that the evolutionary explanation offered therein seemed pretty weak. For me, it's always been a guiding force. Thanks to those awesome goosebumps I'm more interested in contemplation than, say, spectator sports or making money. It's just a different way of getting high I guess.

Yea IMO this is your energy body telling you it's an important idea. It's like a rush of energy that feels great, you know intuitively that your on track.

I don't know about energy bodies. They're hard to reconcile with Darwinian evolution and known physics, obviously. But whatever it is, it feels really great when that electricity travels upwards. Sometimes it's like you might go up with it. Never had an OBE, but I imagine that's one way to go.

The first time you enter the "vibrational" state before an OBE, you'll see it's hard to deny the energy body exists. I feels like these intense waves and vibrations throughout your body as well as a loud static-crackling in the mind - can be quite frightening to the novice.
You could also try Robert Bruce's method of tactile imaging for stimulating the energy body. Essentially, focused attention on specific parts of the body facilitate the stimulation of the energy body in those corresponding parts. It helps if you touch the areas you are trying to stimulate at first. Eventually when you practice more you can "raise your energy" while doing virtually anything - running, biking, etc.
We have these minor chakras located all over the body (as well as major ones) - that's what acupuncture is all about... which is now a mainstream accepted form of medication covered by insurance companies. Why? Because it works!

-------------------- The idea of heat death stems from the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy tends to increase in an isolated system. If the universe lasts for a sufficient time, it will asymptotically approach a state where all energy is evenly distributed. In other words, in nature there is a tendency to the dissipation (energy loss) of mechanical energy (motion); hence, by extrapolation, there exists the view that the mechanical movement of the universe will run down in time due to the second law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe

I can't say I'll easily come to believe in some autonomous "energy body", but if you can achieve significant altered states by "manipulating it", so to speak, then it doesn't really matter whether it's a psychosomatic phenomenon or something more than that. Whatever works, right?
What about u? Do you personally use Bruce's tactile imaging and has it worked so far?

I agree getting into the technicalities about all this stuff is missing the point. If it work it works.
I practice his techniques a couple times a week. I have used it to reenter lucid dreams from the trance state. I also use it during meditation to "raise" my energy.
