Blah awesome exotic fruits blah happy human blah

You know what is unexpectedly amazing? Adding a few droppers full of pure sea buckthorn fruit oil to coffee along with the usual dark cocoa powder and coconut palm sugar.

The oil tastes fruity and red and orange and yellow and juicy and thick and intense. And it is nurturing my whole insides, even my blood cells. Acid reflux goes away, digestive upsets go away, all my organs are happy, my joints are happy, my skin and hair and nails are happy. I mean, as long as I take it all the time. Sometimes it doesn't work. But that's medicine for you. Hit and miss. Nothing is a true panacea, but as long as I remember to do things right, take my life-saving pharmaceutical prescriptions, eat my nourishing foods, do my healing exercises, perform my personalized meditations, and work my personal magic, I feel all right.

I don't remember who first told me about sea buckthorn but I love them forever. It is still a step above moringa plant extract, but moringa is way up there too.

Fun holistic medicine is fun!

That's a good price, too :) and can't tell you're synesthetic at ALL, nope... ;)

LOL, it's so ingrained that I usually don't even notice. I don't even know what to call it.

I mean... things taste like colors. I can't explain it, and sometimes the tasty color thing shifts around and has patterns and stuff. It is REALLY hard to explain.

The only comparison I can honestly think of is Fry in Futurama. He says things like, "Hey, what smells like blue?" and "Huh. Did everything just taste purple for a second?" And when I went on the wikia site, they said that he was a "color-gustatory synesthete" and I thought, okay, that sounds like me.

Also, different fabrics cause different emotions. It's why I hate wool. It makes me cringe. And if suede or velvet is constantly touching my skin, I feel like crying. If I'm wrapped in silk, I feel aroused. Leather makes me feel happy. PVC and fake leather make me feel nauseated. Microfiber makes me feel comforted; it's why my couch is so awesome. The funny thing is, the couch is microfiber suede, so it's a kind of comfort crying.
It's not like I associate the fabrics with anything, I just have those feelings every time. They are just in the back of my mind and I can't shut them off. They get stronger after seizures, of course.
This is why I usually wear cotton blends. Cotton is my favorite. Also, bamboo. They make me want to laugh joyously. Basically, any plant fiber makes me feel like rolling around and giggling wildly.
I have no idea what kind of synesthesia that is. Tactile-emotional, maybe?

Definitely synesthesia, and I know that it can be triggered by different things... So sounds like you've got decent enough definitions even if they may not be the textbook ones!

[brightlotusmoon.livejournal.com]

I was always concerned that something was "wrong" with me since my synesthesia didn't seem to really match the textbooks. But it seems that science is constantly discovering new forms of synesthesia, so I feel better. :)

[phoenixsansfyr.livejournal.com]

Science can only move so quickly :) you're an empath, right?

[brightlotusmoon.livejournal.com]

I am an empath! Occasionally I need to shield myself really hard because things smack me around.

[phoenixsansfyr.livejournal.com]

Thought so. That's probably also partly why the different textures have interesting associations for you, I think. Most things have an emotional attachment/underlying thing, and add that to the synesthesia....

Ooh, how interesting. I hadn't considered that!

According to Adam, a lot of my psychic stuff comes from my nearly dying several times after my birth. He says that on the physical plane I'm slightly dimmed, but everywhere else I flare up like a beacon for spirit stuff. Whenever we're near a haunted place, I feel like shiny candy. I can always pick out the ghosts and leftover psychic imprints and such, especially the emotional things.
