Hello everyone. I decided to make a post because there’s something I’ve been curious about for a long time.
As long as I can remember, I’ve felt a gentle warmth in the center of my chest—or possibly a little deeper behind it (it’s hard to pinpoint the exact location). It’s not painful or uncomfortable at all. It usually happens when I feel calm, relaxed, amazed, inspired, or experience other positive emotions.
I’m wondering what this could be. When I searched online or asked AI, I came across explanations like “natural biofeedback ability.” Some parapsychology sources even mentioned things like “healing energy,” but I’m not sure how credible those claims are.
Has anyone experienced something similar or knows of a physiological or psychological explanation for it? I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
Welcome @Asli It is a rule of this forum for all new members to properly introduce themselves so PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW and tell us about yourself and any experience you may have in magick, such as what you practice, how long you have practiced, areas of interest, etc.
It’s completely normal when doing energy working, such as via chakra work or qigong, to feel sensations including heat, pressure, tingling, cool, throbbing etc.
Don’t bother asking AI this stuff unless you give it WAY better prompts for a discipline, it’s only regurgitating the lowest-common-denominator stuff it finds of the internet, based on a weight score of what’s the most posted - and that’s your usual non-magick user blandness. Unless you already know enough to give it the right keywords it can’t guess that out for you - because the humans it’s copying aren’t talking about it.
The “Solar Plexus” is an energy center in both kundalini yoga (it’s a chakra aka wheel) and qigong where it’s called the Middle Dan Tian.
Feeling warmth here, if you are not coughing, having a raised heart rate or other symptoms of imbalance, just means you can sense the energy flowing in that spot. I doesn’t sound like a problem.
If you become concerned that it’s too much at any point, move your attention lower to your Lower Dan Tian - which is two fingers below and behind the navel. The energy will follow your mind and go there, relieving the excess in your Middle Dan Tian.
