What are the essential chrisitan mystics? I really want to get

If their texts have survived this long and they aren't obvious heretics (Hermeticism and the like), then they're probably worth reading.

They're probably worth reading even if they are. Heretics are interesting.

Meister Eckhart
St. Faustina
Edith Stein
Thomas Kempen
St. Teresa of Avila
St. John of the Cross

These are my favs, still have massive amounts of Catholic reading to go.

What is Christian mysticism? I've seen Eastern Orthodox accuse the west of being "too philosophical" but I have no idea what that means.

We tend to analyze things and prevent the intuitive and organic approach.
I think that's what is meant there.
