Excellent post, I especially liked the point that becoming familiar with one's own energy and how to recognize others' energies develops one's own intuition and confidence to act on it. I've found that Tai Chi has been very beneficial in recognizing energy. I just finished a post on it yesterday! Feel free to check it out here, maybe it will spur some more ideas for your posts:

Thanks for your insight @jspots - and yes, most eastern practices are very well tuned into the art of perception and working with energy.
I will go and take a look at that post. Thank you for sharing :)
