One almost paranormal ability some seasoned spiritual teachers have is pointing at things that are happening in your experience, i.e. something is described and that phenomenon is experienced directly. I have experienced this so-called transmission not only in the Buddhist context, but also with qigong masters and with Hindu teachers.

I've experienced what I believe is a very minor form of this in music lessons, where a teacher would say some phrase or metaphor and it'd click and suddenly I'm able to move a drumstick better. I know that wouldn't happen if there wasn't direct interaction with someone.
