I used to get them more often than I do now... I miss them...
...phantom limbs and sensations has always been a really appealing aspect of therians to me, ever since i first heard of that possibility.
...i don't think i'd say i am a therian, though not opposed to becoming one, but i'm still trying to find ways to feel those phantom sensations.
currently by learning how to lucid dream, so i could try out new forms. even if i'm... not that successful... as of yet...
I don't even count myself a therian, but I'm inhuman-adjacent enough that being a different shape is very appealing to me.
I can only really 'force' phantom limbs through sensory deprivation and concentration, and even then only one or two at a time really.
Oh it's very appealing. To me, it's mainly a sensory thing, why I'm so interested in the phantom sensations, but I also deeply feel the appeal I often hear of finding a body that's more "you", or even just more comfortable than being human.
I also see some Therians bring up meditation, which I guess is just concentration, like you said, although I have no idea how meditation really works.
Anyway, happy for you, that you've actually gotten to feel phantom limbs, even if only in specific circumstances so far. It feels like a very distant thing for me...
Not saying this is universal but for me it's actually kind of an annoying sensation. Basically rn I can feel my fangs in my mouth, except the other half of my jaw is clipping through where they would be.
