But why does this happen with music? or when your having a conversation with someone?
From a psychological perspective your cerebellum (what controls body movement) becomes active. Music can stimulate your reward pathway in the brain, encouraging dopamine to flood the striatum. Like eating cake or having sex your body is flooded with feel good hormones. Neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, discovered that music modifies moods and emotions by interacting with brain mechanisms. For those who have seen it, you may have felt it during Susan Boyle's audition in 2009 Britain's Got Talent when she sang 'I Dreamed A Dream'. I think the entire audience and judges had their hair standing.
Others argue from a spiritual perspective sudden shivers or goose bumps means you are picking up on energy or a thought that you need to pay attention to or look deeper into. You might just be sitting there when you experience a sudden shiver. When I was growing up 'they' used to say 'oh that's someone walking over your grave'. This saying has been around for centuries. But I like to believe it could be a loved one who has passed saying hello or that something or someone is trying to tell you something that you need to pay attention to.
For me I get goose bumps when I'm in conversation with someone, and suddenly I have chills or when I am sitting meditating, or just thinking about something. I've learnt that this is called ‘Spiritual Chills’.
Next time you experience this. Pay attention! Your guides may have a message for you, or there may be something which was being discussed, or in your proximity which you need to understand. Notice what was happening around you leading to the spiritual chill.
