Do you or do you know anyone who has medium senses. I think I do in a way. I have a twin sister and I can read her thoughts and sense pain or joy from a large distance away.
I do have some sensitivity, not so much being a "medium", my mother and her sister did, and their mother, beyond that, we're not sure, as it was looked upon as being crazy back then, but back in our family tree, way (way way way way) back, there were prophets and the like, so .. who knows..maybe it's gone all the way down the line. I believe you have to want to develop it or try to do it, if you want, you can ignore it, and something will happen to make you see it eventually, my sister Laurel is totally blocking it out, doesn't want to see it, hear it, or anything, but trusts me. Could be it skipped her..?
From my own personal experience, I believe that we all have psychic/mediumistic abilities. It seems to run in families quite often. Twins tend to have that sort of a connection even more than most family members.
It is pretty awesome that you are still so connected though! Most people manage to shut it down by the time they are teenagers.
