The electric feeling was energy.

You were either aware of the energy around you or your body could have been metaphysically glowing like a furnace and pulsing with energy.

It's a bit startling if a person has been closed off to energy all their lives and suddenly they slip into a mindset where they either create enough energy to be felt, or are suddenly aware of it all.

It's not as unusual or as odd as you think.

Some people wander about with their skin buzzing and their insides pulsing with "electricity" all their lives and never think twice about it because they assume its normal.
