In this episode I discuss energy work. What it might be, what it might not be, and if it might be real or fake? I propose some rationale of how it might be real, and I confront some of the claims that I have a hard time trusting. I try to discuss what might be scientific, what might be based in belief, and what might be something else entirely. So, what are your thoughts? Do you agree with me, disagree, or have totally different ideas to add?
