I've got one of those brains which produce odd experiences (which is why I'm so interested in neuroscience).

I've sometimes had a really strange sensation which can only be described as like walking into an energy field. It feels like I'm full of this energy on the inside as well. Scientists could investigate the bit of ground I'm standing on until the proverbial cows come home but they wouldn't find anything because the experience is purely subjective on my part. I have no idea why my brain does this kind of thing but I've often wondered if this is what New Agers call energy. If so, it means that the ones who experience it have brains which produce odd experiences too.
