Telepathy is the direct transfer of thoughts, emotions, or feelings from one person to another person using only the power of the mind.

Telepathy is an ability which every one of us innately possesses. However, this is also an ability which is not commonly practiced, so most people are unable to consciously use or control it. From time to time, all of us have moments where our natural telepathy comes into play. However, what if you could use this incredible communication ability consciously?

There is plenty of skepticism about telepathy, just as there is about any other less commonly used natural mental ability which humans possess. Think about a time when you have used telepathy; for example, I bet youve been in a great mood when you run into a friend who is feeling down. Even after speaking to him or her for just a minute, you start feeling these sad, depressive emotions yourself.

Its not the words the person is saying to you, its the transference of their emotions and feeling leaking into your own subconscious mind. This is a form of telepathy.

It has been shown in studies that the part of the subconscious mind which controls telepathy can be activated. What you need to do is to focus on the person with whom you want to communicate in this way.

All forms of communication have to be learned; you werent born knowing how to speak your native language, it is something you learned by observing and imitating your family.

Most likely, telepathy is not something your parents taught you; but this doesnt mean that you cant use this ability. It only means that you havent learned how to make use of it yet.

Here are some methods which can help you to develop your inherent telepathic abilities.

Mental-Muscle training

Just as we have to learn how to control our vocal chords as children to form speech, your telepathic muscles will also need some training.

It is easiest to access the part of your brain which controls telepathic function when you are in a trance state. You can reach this state of deep relaxation by using relaxation techniques including meditation.

You have to practice until it is easy for you to reach this state. Once you have managed to do this, you have started training your mind to use telepathy.

Focus

This can be difficult for many, it takes some practice to be able to stay focused while in a trance state. Practice by focusing on someone youd like to communicate with the next time you are practicing your relaxation techniques.

Imagine this person and project happy thoughts. Visualize the person receiving your happy thoughts and feelings. Maintain your focus for as long as you think it takes the person to feel the connection between you.

Then stop focusing on them at all. Stop the contact so that they can feel the communication being broken off; this should make them attempt to reestablish this link.

You should begin practicing like this individually so that when you start training with a partner you will have already laid the necessary groundwork to send and receive these mental transmissions.

Partner Practice

One of you should be the sender, the other the receiver. Start by sending simple thoughts, such as bright colors which will be readily recognized.

The receiver should have a pen and paper handy in order to write down anything which may be a telepathic communication.

After ending the session, the sender and receiver should compare their results and see how successful the session has been. Dont worry if its difficult as first. Like any other skill, it will become easier with practice.
