Consciousness or reflecting from one mind and emotional body to another happens all the time.
If you watch someone being hit we react physically our blood pressure and pulse change and emotionally we absorb their blow to the other.
Why is this so? There is a process that happens in our brain.
It is called mirroring.
It takes place through certain neurons in an area of the brain called the anterior cingulate gyrus ( part of the emotional response centers of the brain).
It have been recorded through brain imaging that the brain of the observer of an event and the receiver of that event emotionally respond with the same manner, An example would be a mother is watching her child getting vaccination.
When the child is stuck with the needle and cries out in pain, the mother feels and responds as well in the same area of the brain.
Do you often react in a certain situation with an emotion response and have no idea where this response is coming from? These response patterns are part of the oldest learning systems we know.
Being able to sense changes and respond to stimuli and find integrated effective behavior is the goal.
It goes with the old adage of what you see is what you get.
From before conception a child is deciding and finding behavior patterns, and thought processes similar to his own.
A comfortable place to grow energetically amongst energy similar in many ways to the energy of his or her being a place to call home the womb.
