Over the years, beginning in perhaps 1994, I have experienced in addition to the chi warming (sometimes cold fire) and tingling other effects such as throbbing/warming in fingertips or knuckles, and some spark/shock type
effects. Some may say that these are just static sparks, but they have
occurred in humid conditions when I am motionless and well away from metal,
and concentrating on swirling chi with music or on a yoga pose, or sometimes just sensing the environment. Sensitivity increases after walking for twenty minutes.

The first spark occurred when my then BC yoga teacher Gioia Irwin was demonstrating a pose where one leg is stretched back behind, one folded in front, and arms up and back, back arched. As she raised her forearms back I
got zapped with a spark to the centre of the right forearm. This was, I
think, at first Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (pigeon inlet pose), but as the spark zapped me in the centre of the inner right forearm, she was in Valakhilyasana (a pose related to the "little messengers of the sun”).

I discuss this and several other such sparks on http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/sparks.html

However I haven’t experienced such hummingbird sparks in a few years now, though perhaps they will return when the sunspot cycle starts to come up
again.

Has anyone else on here experienced such sparks?
