This reminds me of Ghostbusters: they make like the greatest discovery in human history since the discovery of fire, and what they do with it is a small business
While I have scoffed at Reiki practitioners and their disciples, I am aware of the sensation when a person is close. We have electricity flowing through us and it seems logical that, like quantum widgets, they recognize and connect with one another. But.... healing without touch? I think burning sage or shaking a bag of chicken bones above the patient seems more effective. Historically, the laying of hands on a sick person can heal through the transfer of healing power. But, waving hands over a person seems less valuable than turning on a ceiling fan.
I think a much more likely explanation for being able to sense someone being close than an electrical field is the body heat, change in airflow, minor sounds, or minor vibrations, that someone's physical presence generates. We know we have robust mechanisms for sensing all of those things, while the electrical field generated by humans is very faint and our ability to sense electrical fields is weak (though not non-existent: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8809363/). We might not be consciously aware of what it is we're picking up on to sense another person's presence, but there's lots of information we could subconsciously be picking up on in any given situation
I have noticed that the hair on my arms sometimes stands out when in close proximity of another person. I suspect that is static electricity and it is not an exaggeration to say that in my old age, I am willing to consider that we are all electrical energy.
I also just wanted to say that I really enjoy your posts - you have a special knack in the way you put things across - may you keep on keeping on.
Thank you!

I definitely have questions about how Miss Rachel mesmerizes young children…..
🙂 Made me smile.
