One of the most precious in gift in the body of Christ is the blasting of tongues. Sincerely, if you are christian and you do not have this gift you are really missing a lot and your spiritual growth will be stunted.
This is my own personal experience, when I begin to speak in tongues for like 30 mins, 1 or 2 hours, I begin to sense the feeling of electricity over my body, as I continue the intensity will increase, my energy level will increase leading to increase in my vibration, then as the intensity increases, I begin to feel dizzyness and sometimes, I won't be able to stand at this point I will not know anything going on in my your environment again, at this juncture, I will not be using my own enerygy to pray again but only divine energy and I can go like that for hours and I will not want to stop.
One of the things I also feel, is the feeling of presence of heavily beings and sometimes there will be buzzling in my ear, I begin to ear sounds and the feeling of little burning in my heart will continue throughout the day as long I maintain my constant prayer life.
These are the few things I want to share for now and they are my personal experience. I want genuine christians to share thier own experience too here, sincerely the spiritual realms is the gateway to reality.

I find this topic particularly fascinating.

Historically while glossolalia (speaking in tongues) has been present since the early particularly at Pentecost, its modern manifestation often differs significantly from the biblical . The gift described in Acts involved speaking in actual foreign languages to spread the Gospel, whereas what's being described here appears more aligned with the charismatic movement that emerged in the 20th century.

What particularly interests me from a psychological standpoint are the physical sensations described – the electrical feelings, dizziness, and altered states of consciousness. These experiences aren't unique to Christian practice; similar phenomena have been documented across various religious and meditative traditions. The sensations described – buzzing, burning sensations, and dissociative states – are well-documented responses to prolonged rhythmic activity and hyperventilation, which often accompany intense prayer sessions.

But I'm concerned about the assertion that Christians without this particular gift are somehow spiritually stunted. This doesn't align with Christian teaching about the diversity of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11), where Paul explicitly states that different of the Body of Christ receive different gifts, all equally valuable. I worry about promoting any single spiritual expression as superior to others or necessary for spiritual growth.

What are your thoughts on this? I'd be curious to hear your perspective.

Stop talking rubbish both of you. Speaking in tongues has always been speaking in languages or those who are smooth with words.

And life has shown that some people are smooth with words (orators) while others do not.

It has never been gibberish speaking.

I really want to appreciate your for responding in a mature way. The Lord will continue to bless you. I'm not trying to project any particular gift above other, I was just trying to make us see the reasons why tongues speaking is very important. You cannot explain anything in bible by isolating a single bible verse or age. Speaking in tongues can be articulate lang but will not be understood by the speaker, it can also be totally unknown language as stated in the book of 1 Corinthians 14: 2 'For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. It is clearly stated in this scripture quoted that tongues speaking is not an articulate lang but mysteries that is uttered to God. In the book of Act 10:44 the stated it clearly that as Peter was preaching, Holy Spirit descended on the hearer of his message and they began to blast in tongues. It was not stated in that age that what they were uttering were articulate or human lang. The book of 1 Corinthians chapter 12 to 14 explains this further. So it is clearly stated in the bible that speaking in tongues can be human lang or totally unknown lang.
Concerning experienced I shared above is not limited to when I'm praying even when I'm teaching my class as Sunday school teacher, it can be activated, I begin to feel the burning sensation the moment that happens, Holy Spirit will just take over everything. The experience is different from what other religions have documented.
