I write software for a living too. I have also directly experienced stuff that is not so easily explainable, and work with it regularly. No, I can't sense the magnetic fields like that so directly, though I know roughly how to develop skills like that. I don't think whole area of consciousness and subtle energy is ever going to be scientifically valid. I think they touch on things that are replicable, but not objectively verifiable. There are very real lived experiences of those, and sometimes we can find foot prints left behind by people who walked that way. Generally, you won't know until you walk that way too.
