    Visiting Makkah (Mecca) and/or Medinah for pilgrimage (hajj/Umrah). I wouldn’t describe myself as a vibey/woo woo person but both cities feel either spiritually peaceful or intense due to the frenzied energy of the tens of thousands of worshippers there. Several of us on a visit began crying for no reason at various moments during the trip.

      Very interesting! I have wondered in the past if humans are able to tap into some sort of social consciousness when in large groups (could explain mob mentality and such).
