I've heard some people claim paranormal powers like that. They ascribe them sometimes to an 'aura' that surrounds every living thing, even plants. I don't entirely dismiss them, as I'm quite aware of the feelings I described and you confirm. To give an example, overkill for sure, that might explain the principle: Men who maintain high tension electric transmission lines from a helicopter have to reach out and touch the line with a non-conducting pole of some kind which serves to equalize the electrical field around the line with the helicopter and crew. After making the contact, the line man can disembark the helicopter and walk right on the transmission lines. He wears a special suit that protects him. I saw a program that demonstrates how this works with a graphic representation of the electrical field around the line and how it migrates to the helicopter when touched with that special staff. If they didn't do that first, the man would be electrocuted when he touched the line. Our nervous systems and brains work on electricity, so the perceptions that you and I are getting must be somehow similar. It doesn't matter if it's just psychological--it's still electrical energy operating in our brain. I think tapping into it just requires accepting the sensations as real, as you and I do.
