The mother wrote a letter to her daughter. Suddenly her hand shook and she dropped the pen. Less than an hour later, she learned that her daughter had suffered a serious burn on her right hand after spilling acid in the laboratory.
The family lives on a farm in the New York area. One morning, all eight members of this family, independently of each other, had a bad feeling that none of them could work. Then it seemed that on that day a guy from this family died in a car accident in Michigan.
The woman felt pain in her chest and said that her sister was ill. The woman later learned that her sister had died in a car accident, her chest had been broken by the steering wheel.
These stories are not about simple empathy. In them, one person feels pain, a person close to him at a distance, not knowing that he is suffering. “Even if this happens between mother and child, it goes beyond simple maternal intuition,” says Michael Haver, a researcher interested in research that studies the connection between body and mind. He co-authored with Dr. Mark Micozzi, The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion: The Connection Between Feelings, Brain, Body and Sixth Sense.
Dr. Dossi calls these experiences tele-somatic phenomena. The word "telesomatic" in translation from Greek is based on the roots "body" and "distance". He writes in the book "Healing the Mind" that such phenomena are usually positive. The woman feels a lack of air and feels that her child is drowning. She runs to the pool and manages to save the child. But sometimes they can be destructive. For example, a soldier lost his legs, and his lover had one leg paralyzed for no apparent reason.
The first two stories are described in Dr. Darry Dossi's books Healing Outside the Body and Rethinking Medicine. A third case was cited by Dr. Ian Stevenson, former director of psychiatry at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, and was quoted by Dr. Haver.
“These things cannot happen in the lab or on our command,” says Dr. Dossi, chief physician at Dallas Hospital Medical Center. However, this phenomenon is gaining attention for two main reasons, he notes. -Firstly, this is a very common phenomenon; over the past few decades, hundreds of similar cases have been recorded, some of them described in medical journals. Secondly, these cases have a clear pattern. They always happen between people who are united by emotionally close ties: children and parents, brothers and sisters, spouses, lovers."
“The most surprising thing about all of this is the role of emotion,” Haver wrote in a letter to The Epoch Times. -It seems that the insight that breaks into our consciousness in these cases is always associated with deep feelings, with closeness to someone. It is almost always a family member, close friend or pet."

Psychiatrist Dr. Bernard Bateman has personally encountered this phenomenon. His father, who lived thousands of kilometers from his son, was dying. Dr. Bateman began to choke for no apparent reason. Then he found out that his father began to choke around the same time.
He attended Yale Medical School, completed his qualifications in psychiatry at Stanford, and was chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri. He is the founder of a new discipline - the science of coincidence.
The first step towards establishing a clear research method is classification. One of the categories of coincidence is synchronicity. Synchropathy is a special kind of synchronicity: one person feels the pain of another person at a distance. Synchronicity literally means "simultaneous movement together." Dr. Bateman describes this type of coincidence as "the surprise that arose when an external event reflected a thought that appeared in the head, although there is no direct investigative connection between the two."
Dr. Bateman hypothesized the existence of the psychosphere. “The psychosphere is something like an atmosphere, it surrounds us and moves dynamically. We breathe in oxygen, nitrogen and air vapors, we breathe out nitrogen, carbon dioxide and even more air vapors. We receive energy information from the psychosphere and emit energy information into the psychosphere. Our thoughts and emotions contribute to the treasure in the psychosphere, and the psychosphere, in turn, influences our thoughts and emotions."
He believes that people have physical energy, and is interested in the possibility of studying the receptors with which we can perceive this energy. For more information, see the article "Fluids From People: The Quest for a Scientific Explanation."
Haver explains that veterinarian Michael Fox coined the term empathosphere. Fox described the empatosphere as "a universal space outside of time and space, where feelings exist."
“I suspect that body and mind are one, and emotions are the intermediaries for their interaction,” says Haver. - The empathosphere can allow us to feel another person, especially when we are under stress. This is especially true of close relationships and family ties."
