As stagnant energy begins to flow through the area, in this situation your shoulder, you may feel sensations such as tingling, warmth or pins and needles. After a little while, you will feel the warm sensation spreading out, down your back until the pulsating warmth has spread throughout the body from your toes to your fingers.
