WHAT IS MIRROR TOUCH SYNESTHESIA
Synesthesia is a neurological condition or trait in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (for example, hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (such as vision). Simply put, when one sense is activated, another unrelated sense is activated at the same time. This may, for instance, take the form of hearing music and simultaneously sensing the sound as swirls or patterns of color. *Psychology Today
Polysynesthete is the term used to describe a person who experiences multiple forms of synesthesia.
Mirror Touch Synesthesia (MTS) is a rare trait in which the person literally feels what they observe or sense happening to another. According to current research 1.6% of all people experience MTS. My particular experience with MTS is that, when you choose to allow it and I choose to open to it, I can feel what you are feeling where you are feeling it and in the way that you are experiencing it. I was born this way and have learned to work with this gift to assist in healing body, mind, and spirit. For those who want to dive deeper into MTS, this article contains a lot of research information.
