I’ve heard a lot of musicians and music lovers say: ‘I can feel the music inside of me.’ Is there a word for that?

This might be taking the question a bit too literally, but I thought I'd post the answer anyway because it's an interesting word.
There's a neurological phenomenon called Synesthesia that can cause people to literally feel music (or other sounds). From wikipedia:
Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia; from the Ancient Greek σύν syn, "together", and αἴσθησις aisthēsis, "sensation") is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
Specifically for sounds causing physical sensations:
In auditory-tactile synesthesia, certain sounds can induce sensations in parts of the body. For example, someone with auditory-tactile synesthesia may experience that hearing a specific word feels like touch in one specific part of the body or may experience that certain sounds can create a sensation in the skin without being touched [...]
Probably not. It's analogous to seeing images in "your mind's eye," and I don't think there's a single word for that either.
