Did you ever get a "good" chill(s) energy surge most usually through music which shot through the top of your head down through your body? Most people have. Recently I wrote about my initial questions to people as to what did they thought it was?
Now while I believe the chills phenomenon is universal, I next wondered what people of different religions would say. So I asked people of various religions what do you think the chills a person gets from time to time is? Hopefully you will find the responses interesting and enlightening.
Oh, I start with an atheist, even though atheism is not a religion, I believe.

I listen to music quite a bit so yes, I get the chills all the time. I have no idea what they are but they are pleasant. I do not think about it. It comes and goes. The scary feeling (I seldom get) from scary movies is a different feeling than the good feeling I get from the chills.
A young Mormon woman said.....
The chill(s) are felt when I hear music and hence am touched by the Holy Spirit or God. It is only a good feeling. I also feel the chill(s) when I hear something that is truth. I invite you and others to come to our church to feel it more.
I have felt the chills. Mainly when I have heard old music like the Doors. I believe it relates to past feelings from the time when I was in Vietnam during the war. But I do not know what feeling it brings up. Be careful to focus on Jesus, and avoid things beyond understanding.
A Catholic Priest said.....
I have gotten the chills listening to music. Classical music mostly with no words. I did get a huge energy chill feeling once during a service I was leading when the song Gloria (note-not the song G-L-O-R-I-A) was being sung.
The chill feeling is always good. It is like a natural buzz, "a rush," a high feeling for a moment or two. There is a story about a priest who asked for something to change his life and he had a rush of energy and his life was changed for the better. Sometimes I suppose the chill or energy is just something to "lift" us and sometimes it is life changing.
I believe the chill or energy is the Holy Spirit going through us in a positive way. This chill happens to everyone, not just Catholics. This has been a enjoyable conversation.
A Buddhist woman said.....
I do not get the chills I think as you describe, but I do get electrical firing impulses throughout my body when I pray for someone else. I do not get the chills from music. Oh, I do get a chill or chills when I get cold. It goes away pretty quick. Wish I could be of more help to you.
A Unity Church Minister said.....
I do not get chills but I do get a warming. What I mean is that my whole body gets very warm and my right palm gets hot. I use this energy to help people in need and it usually only happens when someone needs help.
A Mega Christian Church Minister said.....
I feel the chills and believe it is a connection with God, the Holy Spirit, and/or the divine. It has always been a positive experience for me and I experience it with music and if something I hear is true.
A Islamic man said.....
Yes, I feel the chills. I do not think they relate to my religious beliefs. When I pray, I pray. The chills are separate and not related, they just happen and are always a good feeling.
Seems to me the Chill(s) are universal when they are experienced. And religion does not seem to matter. Are the Chill(s) a gift to us all? and if so, what does that mean?

It’s funny how people with opposing views argue with each other as often as they do. More often (at least here on thoughts) do I see someone to say your wrong about this this and that, then I hear someone say, great post I totally agree with you. But here specifically in the religous sections this is so much more evidant. It’s like we’re attracted to what sets us off. Or attracted to what we must correct (regardless if intentions are positive or negitive).

For the Good of Mankind,god should leave our Planet at this Time.Hypeblackdog is severing you god your Eviction Notice. You have until Sun down to be off our Planet. The little Peace you give us on this Planet. Is not Worth the many lives that are Taken in your Name. I ask you god to Please leave out Planet Peacefully. With-out you god,WDM won’t be need it,so Please take all nukes with You. Also Please remove all your Worthless,Unbalance bibles.
We suffer over at ours from loads of traffic but very few commenters apart from our own group. Maybe this will help them? Love the blog.
For your next post, perhaps you can address the issue of commenting addiction, and tell me how to get my life back
I don’t know about anyone else,but christians,jews,muslims,have me totally paranoid with their continuing fighting and killing each other. These 3 religious groups claim to be about peace,love,happiness.But they continue to show hate for each other since the origin of their religion began. When you ask about their intention for peace, christians, jews,muslims,have no answers.Leads me to believe they will never stop fighting and killing each other anytime soon. My peace plan for christians,jews,muslims,is to Ban their system of beliefs,for the safety of All Mankind? I would like boarding a plane with-out being searched. Who has a better Peace Plan?
Very good post. Will you please write much more about this subject.
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
love the blog, thanks for sharing your thoughts
What you do is great – but more frequent updates, please?
Many threads here seem to try and disprove other people’s faith. I have no problem with the idea of faith – there are a few things that I take on faith that I have never seen myself with my own two eyes – such as the brain in the person next to me, and the theory of the atom etc. I have looked at the evidence and made a decision that it is probably true.

Hi. I read a few of your other posts and wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging blogroll links?
I wonder if that’s one of the reason that people don’t post comments? That even though you might like what someone writes, you’re not sure how to reply?
