The Meaning of Frisson

Frisson is the feeling of alignment.

Frisson, (pronounced free-sawn or free-zohn), is a French word that translates to "shiver" or "thrill." It refers to a sudden, brief rush of excitement or emotion, often experienced physically as goosebumps or a tingling sensation running down your spine while in full body, mind, and spirit alignment.

Think listening to a beautiful song, watching a powerful movie scene, or viewing art.
