scalp tingling

[Persephone81]

Has anyone ever had this experience or am i just a dumbass? Sometimes when I hear certain people's voices I experience a pleasant sensation of scalp tingling. I'll consciously seek out those people just to listen to them and get that sensation and its been like that since i was little. Anyone else?

[Daniel Herring]

Sometimes, when I hear a great oldie I have not heard in years, my head tingles - feels kinda like my scalp is shrinking.

[lost in smoke]

yea or your having a really good conversation with someone

[Persephone81]

Haha thank God someone knows what I'm talking about.

[FreakerSoup]

Like when you hear a beautiful song, and it feels kinda like a flow of water into your head?

[fuzz_acid_flowers]

my head is sort of tingling right now but i definetly know what you're talking about:p

[teana0]

Hmm-ive had scalp tingling moments but ive not paid that much attention to when they happen. Maybe i should from now on and see if specific events and stuff make a difference.

[Death]

It usually means you really really really really reallly like something or someone or an event or a song or a picture or something. i get the same feeling sometimes.

i get it sometimes too. when i meditate and open my crown chakra my scalp tingles like mad.I've heard about that. How does that work? The opening of the chakras that is.

I'll consciously seek out those people just to listen to them and get that sensation and its been like that since i was little. Anyone else?I actually joined this forum just because I had to comment on this. I was curious about this phenomenon and unfortunately there is nothing much out there about it. I googled it and this was the only place where it was being discussed. I though I was the only person who experienced this. Everyone I ever discussed this with thought I was crazy. Sorry to revive such an old thread, but it's cool to see I'm not the only person who is drawn to certain voices and/or actions.

I don't have much to add other than how it happens, which is either by certain voices or by watching people perform tasks that require slow, fluid motions, such as painting a picture. Bizarre? Yes. Enjoyable? Also yes. It is also very different than the chills I get listening to music that really moves me. That is all.

When People Talk in Soft Tones Describing Something...Barely Able to Hear...I Get Scalp Tingles...

Or just Some People Voices...

Like this Biology Teacher...

And a Certain Person Who I Call Often...

[Maggie Sugar]

Is it at the top of your head, or at the Crown of your head? That is your Crown Chakra, and often alerts people to paranormal activity.

It happens to me, too. Usually, when I am in old houses, or a family member is about to die or has just gone ect.

[Maggie Sugar]

Oh, someone already mentioned the Crown Chakra. At least I'm not alone in thinking this. :)

Hi Folks! So glad to find this thread!

I created a little website dedicated to this mystery way back in May 2005. Since I haven't experienced the phenomenon for years it's been off my radar screen a bit. For some reason I'm drawn back to the subject today.

Plus, coincidentally, someone put up a comment on that site recently. I really do think we are on to something here, and it is interesting that it doesn't seem common.

I also don't think it's nutty. ...and there does seem to be a common-thread regarding the experience... EG: Pleasant feeling, (search "head tingle" online and most hits will talk about a different, unpleasant physical reaction, usually medically related...), however the type of experience we are talking about also seems to more often be a mild, pleasant experience and occur during quite, contemplative activities. Yes? No?

Although I myself am a open-minded skeptic about the metaphysical, (IE Chakras), this has also come up in the comment thread on my site and/or in emails to me.

Up-front apologies on the limited commenting abilities there, I'm an amateur, Geocities is limited and we really need to create a blog to replace the website, which I might get around to doing soon, since I'm much more experienced with blogs now.

So please everyone with any interest, visit the site, leave a short comment (255 characters max., sorry) and feel free to shoot me an email, either from here or from that site. Thanks and keep tingling! ..."Dana" aka TinglyHead

Wow, that's crazy. I had no idea there was this much attention on the subject. Thanks for the link. If you have seen any other documents/pages on the subject, let me know. I too am quite drawn to this subject as of late.

[nightmonkey]

I've experienced the same sensation. It usually happens to me when somebody I don't know is teaching me something new.

[TinglyHead]

You're welcome "Sadosubliminal".
"nightmonkey": Actually that's not unlike my experience... I do believe it is some kind of social phenomenon, although for me it has sometimes happened even without direct interaction!

I've neglected to describe my experience, and draw-out more full descriptions from others. Hope we can work on this, maybe a blog that includes some polling as well... hmmm... Something scientific eventually...

This is different than hinted at above but I've experienced this, let's say while in a situation like a quiet, low traffic area of a library. Let's also say I'm perusing a book, a newspaper, (rarely do that anymore since being online!), and someone is browsing the shelves nearby. The weird thing is I might not have even noticed this person at first, but I have a strong feeling that their presence is the trigger. I don't know this person, I don't otherwise find them remarkable nor am I otherwise particularly drawn to them.... we might never make eye contact... yet... yet, I do feel that somehow there is some sort of casual link...

Perhaps it suggests a poorly understood aspect of human nature or even maybe something "metaphysical", as in the seventh or "crown chakra" as has been mentioned by others. I have had a "theory" that there is some affinity with the person in proximity that causes it, some "kindred spirit" perhaps. (Is it a "secret" affinity? A "tribal" link"?) I know, kooky sounding stuff...

But hey, the idea that people could fly used to be thought kooky too, no?

[ElectronauT]

Hah I love this. It's happened to me ever since I was a kid, and it's only ever been sounds. The way a weather forecaster on TV would talk would do it all the time. Generally though, like someone else said, it happens when I'm being taught something by someone. Sometimes I can't listen or take in what they are saying because I'm too focused on the pleasureful tingles all over my head(sometimes my whole body). For me, it really is quite euphoric.

I also get this from when other people are on a computer. The sounds of the keystrokes and clicks they make usually sets it off. And, somebody else playing the guitar often causes it, although it's never the sound the guitar produces, more the sound of the fingers moving on the strings.

[sandpiper]

Hi everyone just joined the forum after stumbling across this thread.I have been experiencing these headtingles since I was a kid,they seem to be getting stronger and more frequent now.Does anyone else feel tired and drained when they have the tingles ? Would like to know what it all means!

[Autentique]

I havent noticed.. I want it!.

[lisakb]

I have had Tingly Head since I was a child. I notice it happens when someone is talking softly near me but not to me. It's a good feeling and I get relaxed, my eyes get heavy sometimes. I have always wondered if it happens maybe because it reminds us of what things sounded like from our mother's womb. You know, soft muffled sounds. Or maybe when someone held us as a baby and spoke softly.

Gee, makes me also wonder what kind of sensation my kids will feel when they hear someone yelling! :) Remind them of their childhood??? heehee.

Anyway, I do feel sad for people who have never felt tingly head. it is a very nice feeling and they're missing out. Someone should do a study on us...see if we have dementia before everyone else, or keep our hair while everyone else thins. One common thread seems to be that it started in childhood, so we know it's not caused by the drugs we did in high school.

[PntbllKid5]

I have felt thes tingles in the back of my head since I was a child also. I've been searching for an explanation and this is the only place I can find anything on it.

It usually happens when I'm watching someone d something that takes them a long time to figure out or something that intrigues or interests me very much. Very strange but I'm glad I've found that I'm not the only one.
