The call of the mystic is often accompanied by the gift of empathy - the ability to feel what other people are feeling, and to feel things that are happening in the world.  This gift of empathy is often identified by strange, otherwise unexplainable physical and emotional symptoms: physical pain, vertigo, ringing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, migraines, visual disturbances, unexplained sorrow, anxiety, grief, fear, etc.  While it's important to consult a medical doctor in the event these symptoms have a medical and treatable cause.  If not, it might just be that you're an empath.   www.lauriannlumby.com
