Yeah,I tend to shake when on mushrooms, and if the
acid has a lot of impurities I can feel it rush through
my entire body. |

Yes |
My whole body. Since it feels so much like a wintery
chill, my friends and I call them "acid chills"
because they only happen on acid. |

This is actually what interested me in spiritual
concerns. When I was on acid I dn't feel specific body
parts after a while, I felt more like a mental cube.
(this is as best I can do with limited language to
explain.) The "cube" that "I" was
would be vibrating. (Sound nuts, but oh well) |

Yes |
It feels if they are coming in at front of my body
and going out at the back. But this is very hard to
describe. Maybe I don't remember it weel, there was much
more to pay attention to. |

Usually the "typical" (for me) goosebumps
sensation, arms, legs, torso, and back. More of an
excited "speedy" vibrating kind of
"chill" than a feeling of cold. I also get an
unbearable tingly-aching sensation in the middle of my
back, which I usually associate with feelings of pure
rage, or terror. I can often "tune it out"
though. |

When they did occur, it was up my spine all the way
to the top of my head and they were really intense. They
tickled to the point of giddiness. They were like funny
vibrating chills. They'd make my body go limp once they
reached the top. It felt wonderful. |

I have experienced this with MDMA and yohimbe, a
spirit energy lighting up my skin. Sometimes when I
listen to music that I am really into, and is very
symbolic to me, I also get this effect. I call it
mind-orgasm, because it is an orgasm, but non-sexual.///
Chills and vibrations run along my spine, back, genitals,
and across my arms. |
