Look...I changed the name of the thread. Hope it doesn't disappoint Barry. Your talk of buildings and such brings to mind "vibes," of course.
It brings to mind energy signatures, or something like that...that I've read about in one of Donna Eden's books. Which brought to mind HeartMath of which folks here may already be familiar. In (at least some) of HeartMath's past studies, gratitude showed to be the most powerful "heart tool" (I think that is HeartMath's term) to help bring the mind and body into better sync. Here's a link about some of HMs research: http://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/introduction.html I was out hiking today, and again thought of blood soil. I've often thought of that through the years...what has walked where I put my feet? Who has walked? What blood has been shed where I trod? I feel the ground lives with these memories of peoples and animals from the past. Similar to the buildings whereof ya'll speak. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@ wrote: > > > > "There could be many explanations for what a person experiences when > > entering a building that have nothing to do with metaphysics or religion. > > Simple expectation is one.
