That was exceptionally well done, from the clothes to "like, the actual language and stuff", the slides, the name, everything! My favorite part was that she needed the money to bless the air with crystals. :-D

Brian Dunning wrote an article about how New Age enthousiasts use the word 'Energy'. The girl in the video mentions that 'air is 6% positive energy'.

"I asked what type of energy is it, and how is it stored? Is it heat? Is it a spinning flywheel? Is it an explosive compound? Is it food? These are examples of actual ways that energy can be stored.

In popular New Age culture, "energy" has somehow become a noun unto itself. "Energy" is considered to be literally like a glowing, hovering, shimmering cloud, from which adepts can draw power, and feel rejuvenated. Imagine a vaporous creature from the original Star Trek series, and you'll have a good idea of what New Agers think energy is."
