'''Spontaneous tactile sensations''' can be described as the physical experience of an activation of nerve endings across the body occurring without any obvious or immediate physical trigger. The experience of this results in feelings of distinct random tactile input and general tingling sensations. Depending on the [[psychoactive substance]] consumed, these vary greatly in their alternative styles of sensation, but can be broken down into three basic levels of intensity. These are described and listed below.
'''Spontaneous physical sensations''' can be described as the experience of sensations across the body occurring without any obvious or immediate physical trigger. This results in feelings of seemingly random but distinct input and general tingling sensations that occur across the skin and within the body. Depending on the [[psychoactive substance]] consumed, these vary greatly in their alternative styles of sensation, but can be broken down into three basic levels of intensity. These are described and listed below.


#'''Mild''' - The lowest level of the sensation can be described as light and fleeting tingling sensations across the body that do not impair physical motor control and can essentially be ignored if one wishes to do so.

The differences between each differing style of "body high" can be broken down into the following basic variations.
The differences between each differing style of "body high" can be broken down into the following basic variations.


*'''Moving vs. Motionless''' – Feelings of tingling nerve endings will either move themselves up and down various parts of the body in spontaneous directions or they will remain still and consistent in their position.
*'''Moving vs. Motionless''' – Spontaneous physical sensations will either move themselves up and down various parts of the body in spontaneous directions or they will remain still and consistent in their position.
*'''Constant vs. Spontaneous''' – Feelings of tactile sensations will either be constantly present throughout a significant portion of the psychedelic trip or they will spontaneously and temporarily manifest themselves at random points for differing lengths of time.
*'''Constant vs. Spontaneous''' – Spontaneous physical sensations will either be constantly present throughout a significant portion of the psychedelic trip or they will spontaneously and temporarily manifest themselves at random points for differing lengths of time.
*'''Sharp vs. Soft''' – Feelings of tingling nerve endings will either be perceived to feel soft, warm, and gentle on the skin or sharp, cold, and electric.
*'''Sharp vs. Soft''' – Spontaneous physical sensations will either be perceived to feel soft, warm, and gentle on the skin or sharp, cold, and electric.
*'''All-encompassing vs. Location specific''' - Feelings of tactile sensations can either be felt across every square inch of the skin in an evenly distributed fashion or in very specific locations such as the ends of the fingers and toes, up and down the spinal column, or across/within the head.
*'''All-encompassing vs. Location specific''' - Spontaneous physical sensations can either be felt across every square inch of the skin in an evenly distributed fashion or in very specific locations such as the ends of the fingers and toes, up and down the spinal column, or across/within the head.
*'''Euphoric vs. Dysphoric''' – At appropriately high dosages, feelings of tactile sensations and tingling nerve endings can either be interpreted as immensely and overwhelmingly pleasurable or they can manifest in the opposite direction and become extremely uncomfortable.
