I have been studying endorphins (chemically similar to morphine?). Endorphins are very interesting and I have been studying people during what I perceive to be strong endorphin activity during situations of strong positive feelings. I notice people to become more relaxed after eating eating a nice meal or enjoying a relaxing bath or shower. Well I bring this up because wouldn't it be awesome if we could train ourselves to release endorphins at any time we wanted?. I believe I can to a small degree. If enter a daydream state I can recall positive experiences and feel a small relaxed high that I believe to be an increased level of endorphins or a release of them. Maybe I'm nuts or something.... I do actually weird people say. Anyone else?
Yeah that kinda happens with lots of meditation, breathing exercises etc i suggest you take a look into meditation and yoga and stuff if you havent already, lots of simmilar ideas to what your saying
Dude same thing happens to me.. sometimes when I'm listening to music I'll feel my head get all tingly and relaxed.. maybe this is endorphins being released in my brain??

Like when a really badass part of the song hits. It's a crazy fucking feeling.
Don't we release Dopamine after eating, not endorphines? Endorphines are created from stressful situations, like exercising?

Endorphins have many functions in the body but I think the stockpile is for emergencies mainly.
