Is Mirror-Touch Synesthesia Your Empath Superpower?
Science is catching up with the empath, literally.
Recently I came across a fascinating book titles Mirror Touch by Dr. Joel Salinas, a Harvard trained researcher and neurologist at Massachusetts General. It explores the phenomenon of mirror-touch synesthesia (MTS): a rare neurological trait that causes someone to feel the emotional and physical experiences of other people.
Synesthesia is “mixed perception,” or to blend the five senses. Science recognizes over 80 types of synesthesia.
Because of Dr. Salinas and other brave professionals, science is sitting up and taking notice and actually exploring the brain and how it functions in individuals with these traits.
Dr. Salinas uses his ability of feeling the emotional and physical pain of his patients to treat their symptoms, as if they were his own. The experience for him and others like him is challenging and draining.
Scientists now believe that MTS is linked to the neurons located in the brain responsible for transmitting electrical signals through our body.
These signals flow from the brain through the body and communicate what we are feeling and sensing. With MTS the neurons specifically are those linked to the premotor cortex. Interestingly, this is the part of our brain that is responsible for planning future action.
Tarot Forecast April 2026: Four Of Wands
This month, the Four of Wands predicts harmony, stability, and the celebration of steady progress. After last month, which was full of emotions and thoughts, April 2026 is going to be a nice change.
The energy moves from looking for something to enjoying what you have. This month, there is a feeling of arrival. It won’t be the last place you visit, but it will be an important stopping point on your trip.
The Four of Wands asks you to think about the good things in your life and be grateful for them. It speaks of the foundations that have been built with care, even if not perfectly, and now offer you shelter, support, and a sense of belonging.
In the Rider-Waite Tarot, the Four of Wands shows a happy scene with flowers between four tall wands.
These wands form a stable structure, symbolising a strong foundation and the framework of something lasting. They are often associated with home, community, or sacred space.
In the front, two people are holding flowers and are happy and proud. Their happiness is shared, not alone, and this shows the importance of connection, unity, and harmony within the community. This is not a victory achieved alone, but one supported by relationships and shared effort.
Behind them is a castle or manor, which represents safety, stability, and long-term success. It suggests that the celebration is based on something lasting, like feeling safe, being in a committed relationship, or having a stable life path. The flowers on the wands represent abundance, fertility, and the beauty that comes when effort and alignment meet. It also creates a feeling of ceremony, like at a wedding, a reunion, or a special event.
The Mediumship Messages That Matter The Most
After the passing of a loved one, many people turn to psychic mediums for confirmation that their deceased loved ones have transitioned safely into the Spirit realm.
Typically, during a mediumship reading our deceased loved ones will relay evidence through the psychic medium to prove that they are the ones communicating from the Other Side. This may include references to jewelry, or other personal possessions, they have left behind; mentions of the things they enjoyed while in the living; places they used to love going to; shared family memories; as well as very specific personal information, like their first or last name, date of birth and passing, and so on.
It’s always very rewarding to create this psychic link to connect with a deceased loved, because much information can flow through in such a short amount of time. Sometimes our loved ones offer guidance and advice to better our lives, and even predictions about forthcoming events in our lives.
Some mediumship clients are concerned that they did not get the opportunity to say goodbye, or show their love and gratitude to a loved one while they were still in this life. Some clients are also curious about opinions their deceased loved ones may have regarding current issues in their life.
For example, if there is family conflict about an inheritance, they may want to know how the deceased loved one feels about it, and what advice they may have to offer on the matter. Most of the time the departed loved one will encourage the family to strive for peace, compassion and forgiveness, but the rest of the decisions are usually left up to those in the living.
The Ancient Art Of Possum Bone Casting
I have spent some time exploring ancient forms of divination. It made me realize one can use just about anything, from bones to rocks, or even animal intestines… anything that may be handy at the time!
A few years back a friend of mine moved from Maine to New Orleans. We are connected on Facebook, so I decided to contact her to see how she liked living in New Orleans, and what she was doing for work. Much to my surprise she said, “I’m doing bone readings in the French Quarter of the city.” Well, that certainly peaked my interest.
I have since began studying the art of bone casting. As with anything, I found lots of ideas and several different opinions on the matter.
Using my own intuition, I settled on learning to read possum bones.
But now the question became…where and how does one find some proper possum bones to cast? I have never seen a possum where I live in the state of Maine (even though I’m sure possum is here.)
So, the hunt was on to get me some authentic possum bones to work with. I thought this would be easy; something one might find easily online? I mean, you can find almost everything to buy on the Internet these days.
Well, it turns out that to get the real deal, it is not really that easy.
My sister and her husband winter in Florida. Possums are plentiful in that area, so I hoped they might find just what I wanted. Not a live one, of course, but one in the form of ‘road kill.”
Psychic Predictions And Divine Timing
During a psychic reading it is perfectly natural for the question to arise, “When will this happen?” Our minds are trained or geared toward planning, strategizing, and looking for patterns. Asking ‘when’ supports our goals to ensure progress in the hopes of achievement.
Our penchant for wanting to know, or at least estimate, when something will occur stems back to ancient times, when our ancestors relied upon the movement of the planets and changing seasons for planting seeds, harvesting crops, and so on. It was vital to plan when things will be most likely happen.
In our everyday human life there are schedules we adhere to and time is dictated by clocks and time zones. However, in the realm of Spirit, the truth is, there is no such thing as time. What if all clocks were obliterated and we had no more calendars saying which day of the week it was? Some metaphysicians believe that people made up what we refer to as time and dates as a means to measure progress and spiritual growth of our species.
True psychics are able to see into the future of probable outcomes for their clients, to help them make choices that will support a specific outcome. These predictions come from the world of Spirit, as well as everyday life on Earth.
Remember, in the world of Spirit there is no such thing as time. When a psychic is shown a particular event during a reading, a number of factors can change or determine the timing of when something will occur.
Tarot Forecast March 2026: Two Of Cups
This month the Two of Cups predicts connection and mutual attraction. The atmosphere will feel intimate and present. Emotional exchanges will carry weight and conversations matter. What we say and how we show up will make a difference.
The Two of Cups represents harmony between two forces. It speaks of emotional reciprocity, shared intention, and a sense of equality.
This card’s energy is not about proving yourself to other or chasing validation. It is about mutual recognition. It is the quiet but powerful moment when two souls meet and acknowledge one another with authenticity and sincerity.
Throughout March, we may feel less tolerance for surface level dynamics. There will be a stronger desire for “keeping it real.”
Relationships, romantic, professional, and personal, are highlighted under this influence. The focus shifts toward one on one interactions where honesty feels safe and emotional balance becomes the foundation.
At its core, the Two of Cups represents union, partnership, attraction, and shared values. It can symbolize romantic love, but it also reflects business partnerships, creative collaborations, friendships, and even the internal harmony between mind and heart. The key theme is balance: equal giving and receiving.
How To Get More From Your Next Psychic Reading
There are several ways you can ensure to get the most from a spiritual reading session with a psychic or medium.
Firstly, proper etiquette is important. Show respect for Spirit by being prepared for your reading. Have your questions ready. Clear your mind. Focus on what is being said and what you can learn. If you are not sure of the context, ask for clarity.
There are also things you should refrain from doing during an online or phone psychic reading.
Do not pour drinks, go to the bathroom, turn on the TV, or let the dog out during your reading. You would not do those things if you were in person at the psychic’s office. Get those things out of the way before you call.
Although people sometimes think they are fully engaged while doing additional tasks, they often miss the point altogether, or attach a completely different interpretation to what Spirit is saying.
Furthermore, you can get much more from a reading session by allowing time afterwards to sit for a moment, and reflect. Think of additional examples where the information and learning can be applied.
If something is true for a work situation, it might also be very relevant to your personal life. Set a goal to keep this learning front and centre, in such a way that you can continue to benefit from the reading in the coming days.
