Answer
I think it is some kind of mind suggestion. Be careful.  There are many people in Thailand who has strong mind power and can do this.  Some people use it in a good way and some are not. See her intention and her practices and those who surround her, then you know exactly if you should go with that or not.  Good luck.
 Thanks so much for the rating and comment.  Make sure your mental state is ok. I worry about that, truely. Hope Lord Buddha bless you for the right way of thought.
