Stimulation - In terms of its effects on physical energy levels, LSD is usually regarded as being very energetic and stimulating without being forced. For example, when taken in any environment it will usually encourage physical activities such as running, walking, climbing or dancing. In comparison, other more commonly used psychedelics such as psilocybin which are generally sedating and relaxed.

Perception of bodily lightness - The stimulation and energy LSD produces can often lead one to feel as if they are moving weightlessly. Spontaneous physical sensations - The "body high" of LSD can be characterized as prominent in comparison to its accompanying visual and cognitive effects. It behaves as a euphoric, fast-moving, sharp and location specific or generalized tingling sensation. For some, it is manifested spontaneously at different, unpredictable points throughout the trip, but for most, it maintains a steady presence that rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached. At moderate to high doses of LSD, many users have reported that if this sensation hits its highest level it can become so overwhelming that users find themselves writhing in pleasure.

Physical euphoria - This effect is not as reliably induceable as it is with substances like stimulants or entactogens, and can just as easily manifest as physical discomfort without any apparent reason.

Tactile enhancement - Feelings of enhanced tactile sensations are consistently present at moderate levels throughout most LSD trips. If level 8A geometry is reached, an intense sensation of suddenly becoming aware of and being able to feel every single nerve ending across a person's entire body all at once is consistently present.

Changes in felt bodily form - This effect is often accompanied by a sense of warmth or unity and usually occurs during and up to the peak of the experience or directly afterward. Users can feel as if they are physically part of or conjoined with other objects. This is usually reported as feeling comfortable in its sensations and even peaceful, compared to other substances that induce this effect like salvia.

Temperature regulation suppression Increased bodily temperature - Potentially dangerous states of overheating have been reported to occur in certain conditions, particularly with higher doses. Users are advised to monitor their core temperature and be cautious if taking LSD in hot or overcrowded outdoor environments.

Nausea - Mild nausea is occasionally reported when consumed in moderate to high dosages and either passes instantly soon after the user has vomited or gradually fades by itself as the peak sets in.

Bodily control enhancement

Stamina enhancement - This is generally mild in comparison to traditional stimulants.

Appetite suppression

Dehydration

Difficulty urinating Increased blood pressure

Increased heart rate

Increased perspiration

Muscle contractions

Muscle spasms

Excessive yawning - This effect is significantly less pronounced than it is with psilocybin and its related compounds, the four-position substituted tryptamines.

Pupil dilation

Salivation

Seizure - This is a rarely observed effect but is thought to occur in those who are predisposed to them, especially while in physically taxing conditions such as being dehydrated, undernourished, overheated, or generally fatigued.

I thought that LSD lowered your heart rate and that is why you tend to lose feeling in your limbs and that’s what gives the person the impression that they are “one” with the world (because they can’t feel their own body)
