Philosophy professor and author Michael Grosso, in his in-depth studies of world-famous spiritual healers and psychics such as Padre Pio, Sathya Sai Baba, and even Jesus, found his subjects shared an ability to feel deeply, and he writes of the ease with which they could laugh and cry. He contends that their natural, spontaneous openheartedness and emotional availability predisposed them to strong psychic ability, along with their other right-brained traits: a sense of humor, artistic talent, metaphoric thinking, spontaneity, natural authority, and charisma.
