I just read a fascinating article about how babies' brains work titled Babies' brains 'reach' for toys. This is an occasion when science supports what we already know intuitively and spiritually: we are all connected.
Here's the gist of the article . . .
Scientists measured the brain activity of 9-month-old babies. The same area of a baby's brain lights up whether the baby reaches for a toy or watchs an adult reach for a toy. The same space. This ability is due to mirror neurons, which fire when we do an action ourselves and when we watch others do a similar action.
Let me say that another way. When babies watch people reach for objects, the motor region in their brains gets activated, as if the babies were doing the reaching themselves!
[But wait! It gets better.]
Scientists also noticed that once babies got used to observing an adult grab the toy, their brain activity occurred prior to the action. I hope you realize why I am excited about this, but allow me to continue with more info directly from the article:
The scientists used the word "predict" and state that babies use their motor system to figure out how someone will react. Being strongly clairsentient myself, I believe this makes sense. After all, during spirit contact my motor skills are engaged, so I often 'feel' the essence of the spirit and what it was like to be them physically and emotionally. Their reactions and impressions translate temporarily within my body.
One of the things I am absorbing from this research article is that as human beings we are hardwired to be intuitive and predict events in a clairsentient way using our brain and body responses. Could this be one of the reasons we are able to do healing and mediumship work?

"The fact that the brain activity in babies is 'predictive' — it occurs when the baby can predict that someone will reach for an object — suggests that babies (and probably adults too) use their own motor system in order to figure out how someone else's action will unfold," Southgate told LiveScience. "That is, by accessing your own motor plan for how you would, for example, achieve the goal of picking up an object, you can make a good prediction about how someone else would also do that." That information would help you to respond to the other person's action, say, to intercept their movements and take the object yourself, Southgate added.
