Tree Huggin, I get. I'm a tree hugger myself. Hippie I get, I was a teen in the 60's where we had Love In's and have been to many, many Grateful Dead and now Further concerts.I've never had my own "ask me" thread, so I figured I'd face the board and take on your questions. No question is too big or too small, and I'll do my best to keep up. *pulls up a beanbag chair and some knitting*

The energy that all living entities produce can be felt by anyone, but most people don't readily identify it as such. A book I once read described it best - it's the feeling you get when you're scared/anxious/excited and you get what most people refer to as "butterflies in your stomach". That's energy welling up inside your body. If I, say, touch a tomato plant in my garden I may be able to feel slight (or strong, depending on a number of factors) vibrations coming from the plant against my palm. This isn't a supernatural experience, as the energy is already there within the living subject; however, the vibrations are usually so subtle that you really have to be "looking" for them in order to feel them. Sometimes it is a pulsing sensation or a tickle or, if it's a weak energy, like cobwebs against my hand.Razeontherock said:
Honestly? There isn't anything New Age about herbalism or meditation, as that's been done for centuries. What tends to make it more modern is how we interpret and put into practice these ancient methods of healing and relaxation and how, since the 1960s or so, there has been a resurgence of the practices.

. I don't follow any of those teachings. The only one that even slightly piques my interest would be Indigo/Rainbow/Crystal Children, only because I think there are many kids in the world who are undeniably bright and different and they're oftentimes misdiagnosed as ADHD or Autistic and put on medications that alter their personality and stifle their giftedness. Not saying Autism and ADHD aren't legitimate disorders, because they are. I'm not even anti-medication. With that said, I think there are many children out there being suppressed by medication that they don't necessarily need to be on due to a hasty diagnosis being made.
