Agreed, Res. Funnily enough I was reading an article in the paper this morning about how druids have reduced the number of accidents on a bad stretch of road by erecting quartz standing stones and burying magnets to restore the natural energy of the area. It sounded wacky enough for me to believe, anyway.

As for my own experiences, yes, I totally believe in personal energy fields. I can usually read a person's energy and it often lets me know whether being around them will be beneficial or detrimental to my own wellbeing. I think most of us do this subconsciously, but it's quite tangible for me. My ability to read this, goes hand in hand with absorbing other people's emotions, but it is also subtly different. People can have good energy, even when they're not emotionally up, and vice versa. Some people thrive on being energy vampires, for example. They feel great, but they're doing bad things with energy. Anyway. I could go on for hours about this, but I'm sure you get my drift.
