Why Do Some People Feel Energies ?

Why do some people feel vibes while others sense nothing ?
This mini book from the Essence collection (Publisher : Five Minutes) reveals the mechanisms behind sensations of energy. Through concise, well documented pages it explores sensory sensitivity, interoception, magnetoreception, the placebo effect and altered states of consciousness. Recent studies (2024-2025) show that 20-30 percent of people are highly sensitive, that listening to internal signals influences our perceptions and that the human brain may house a magnetic compass. The book also examines the promises and limits of Reiki and other energy therapies, as well as the benefits and risks of meditation.

By mixing neuroscience, psychology, culture and testimony, this book offers keys to understanding where our sensations come from and how to tame them. It is aimed at all those who want to separate fact from fiction, to explore mindfulness with full knowledge and to develop a nuanced approach to wellbeing. Immerse yourself in this fascinating journey on the border between the visible and the invisible and discover how to better listen to your body while keeping your feet firmly on the ground.
