If it's more common for those with ADD or ADHD, I don't think it only happens with them. If I remember right, about 4 out of 7 of my immediate family can surge, so I suspect there's at least a small genetic factor in all of this.View Thread

The most frustrating part is trying to explain to someone how to do it. I tell them, "You know that immediate rush you get when something startles you? Try to make that rush," or "You know that feeling when your limbs get tired and twitchy? Try to make that feeling in your torso."
You can imagine their reaction to those explanations.
I've been Google searching based on the terms you guys have been using (having so many with the same ability has helped a ton), and it looks like pulsing may be a form of Biofeedback--which is basically manually controlling internal functions of the body. And this particular ability seems to have something to do with the Sympathetic Nervous System. But I really can't find anything more than that.
I'm only able to increase pulse rate. I can't dilate my eyes and I can't lower my pulse rate. I'm especially very curious about the slowing of blood pressure. Is it a similar function to the raising of blood pressure, or does it feel like different "mechanics?" If so, I'd love to hear more detail and learn to do it, if possible.View Thread
