Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response

You can't separate the mind/body/spirit.

We used to play games at infant school to elicit sensations like this - either playing with someone's hair, or lightly drawing letters on their back with a finger. It would typically be done while sitting on the carpet at story time. The other times that I used to often experience a sensation like this was when someone borrowed something belonging to me - my pencil crayons for example. I think it was something I experienced most often as a young child though I think it has happened less often more recently too.

Criss Cross Applesauce
Spiders crawling up your back
One here, one there
Spiders crawling on your hair
Cool breeze
Tight squeeze
Now you’ve got the chills!

I have never heard of it before. I'm not sure what you're describing, so I can't say if I've ever experienced it.

Oh, from what Biggles said about hair, yes, I've experienced this.

Haven't heard of it even after reading some of the wiki article.
I think that I know what this feeling is, according to the description this sounds familiar. I am not sure that I buy what they say it is %100. What I have always thought it to be is the cranial shifting due to nerve response to stimuli, and muscle shifting. I feel this happen when I eat something I may have an allergy to, or chemicals that I smell, visual emotional responses, or just emotiuonal responses can trigger a cranial shift.
Sometimes when I am really angry, I feel my brain shift, and the cranial bones shifting.
Most of the responses are of a negative nature when I feel them. It's difficult for me to think off hand if anything pleasurable would have this affect as it has been too many years since I haven't been pissed off or ill.

After reading Biggles and the rest, maybe I don't know what it is.

I had tingling in my scalp when smoking cigarettes after doing a drug long long ago. Perhaps this woman is on drugs.

On the other hand I've also seen auras years later while not doing drugs recently, so if she experiences it, I expect it's true in a fashion.

I don't recall experiencing this.
