Dear Allen:

My guess is that your Hermetic work is affecting your energy bodies 
(in particular that part sometimes called the aura). I think most 
people sense auric changes at some level and react to it. I have 
frequently had the kinds of reactions you describe when working 
magick. My 25 cent patented cure? Deliberately focus on sustaining 
feelings of goodwill to all and everything. I know that may sound a 
little "new age fluff bunny from California" but it really does seem 
to work. Good luck!

Sincerely, /RM/
