Bermuda triangle doesn't exit to a meditator. Energy doesn't exist.

Energy is just a concept in your mind. You only have 6 senses and none of them can sense anything called 'energy'.

@user12686 Sorry. It's EEG. fMRI detects blood flow changes. Take a look at [this video](https://youtu.be/slUv9TN3azI) by Tibetan monk and "world's happiest man" Matthieu Ricard.

By energy, do you mean motivation, confidence and high spirits? Or do you mean like electrical or electromagnetic energy? Or perhaps psychic energy?
