Hello all,
CFTraveler, I have not read the stuff by Candace Pert but I have long considered this hypothesis as a possible explanation for the sensation felt during NEW. The body is full of sensations, like the circulation of the blood, but our nervous system has evolved to ignore these sensations, we block them out because they are unnecessary and distracting. When we start to focus on those parts of the body, and trying “sense†something there, then this blocking mechanism begins to give way. This would explain why the left side of the body is usually more responsive to “energyâ€Â; because the circulation of the blood is strongest on the left (hence the sensations will be stronger there). We also have to consider nerve clusters and the flow of nervous energy through out the body. There is a continuous flow of nervous energy flowing through all the nerves in the body, this too perhaps generates a sensation which we are not normally aware of; but that comes to the foreground when we focus on it.
magic, if you were asking if subtle energy is a scientifically acceptable explanation then the answer is no. Mainstream science makes no provision for this kind of phenomenon. I am sure however that there are some scientists that do believe in this and have developed theories for it, keep in mind that if you look for it you can find scientists that believe just about everything.
