It could be a jhanic experience.
- It is not that uncommon for people to have jhanic experiences. In most cases, it happens to those who have practiced jhana in recent past lives. Some such people may not have even heard about jhanas.
The post you refer to is by a forum participant. The following post discusses jhanic experience: “Jhānic Experience in Detail – Sāmaññaphala Sutta (DN 2).”
- Your statement, “It seems like you have to deliberately permeate your body” is incorrect. When in a jhana, it happens automatically. You don’t need to focus on jhana factors.
