The other night I was talking to a Reiki Practitioner. She explained that she could see auras, which she incorporated into her practice, and considers it a healing gift. She also has a daughter who she says is "a really powerful healer" as the colours she sees are far more vivid than her mother's.
It was a revelation to me, that perhaps in the absence of any other explanation or understanding, so called 'healing powers', or 'energetic abilities' might be in fact synesthetic experience. I wonder how many shamans, healers, enchanters have synesthesia. Or indeed those conjurers of words, poets.
They are synesthetes. The have Fantasia-like orgasms, count by colour and can taste your name. I'm dead envious and determined to catch it.
