Communication is not always limited to vocalization or writing, we can convey thoughts or feelings by a look or a touch. Telepathy is removing all normal conventions and feeling through a long distance, and without technology like telephones or email. It is a meeting of the minds as it were. Many animals can convey thoughts or feeling without speaking or touching. This may be known as instinctual behavior, but many believe animals are more than likely telepathic. Many who study this behavior in animals claim it to be true and since there is no science that disproves it, it can be believed.

Historically human kind may have had telepathy as a survival tactic when tribes lived far apart from each other and needed to be in some sort of contact. This may have continued with peoples who are not modernized today.

It is not that telepathy is a cryptic thought process, it is that many do not know what it is or if they have felt it before. At one time in our historic history, humans have been telepathic. Just as easily as humans could read or write, they were able to communicate telepathically.

It is felt that there is the possibility that telepathy has evolved out of mankind through natural selection. Perhaps with all the modern advances we no longer need to be telepathic.

Some may know about our sixth sense, the intuition as some call it. The idea of telepathy may have just shifted to be called by a new name.

This instinct can manifest itself in many ways and can be regarded as telepathic in nature by some. I am sure we have all heard the instances of people who are just getting ready to board a flight for a planned trip, just to get a weird feeling and then decided to not to get on the plane. When they get home there are news stories of the flight they were about to take being in a bad crash with few survivors. Did that person who chose not to fly have a telepathic insight? What made them decide not to fly that day? Some might say it is a survival instinct that we all have. Others will say it was a telepathic intuition that made them feel the danger ahead and that is what made them falter and not get on the plane.

Oddly enough, the very people that show the resistance to telepathy as actually existing are the same people who believe in emotions and instincts! How is that possible? Is that not a form of prejudice in and of itself? The answer of course is yes. You see, the scientists that state telepathy is not real experience emotions themselves, therefore they believe. They also experience instincts, be they right or wrong, so they also believe in those. It is their inability to use their own telepathic skills that result in this prejudice.

It may be that as the world population grew, our need for telepathy began to wane as our survival was not dependent upon it and putting this sense on to a higher power made more sense at the time.

Of course, this also brings to light as to why organized religion is so adamant that this ability does not exist unless you are possessed by the devil. What is their fear of this natural ability? The opinion is that if anyone can have this ability, it would make the power of a deity less impressive. You would basically be admitting that anyone can see the future or communicate silently. These abilities are supposed to belong to a higher power, not the common man.

Don't ever believe that you can't learn telepathy; as a matter of fact, there is a good chance that you have already done it before. You may just not have been aware of it! You'll find that there are many people who have thought about a friend or relative, often for the first time in years, and the very next day, that person calls them. Does that sound familiar? Are you seeing a few incidents in your past with new eyes? This is all evidence that you are practicing telepathy and in fact that many people do the same every day!

Essentially, a telepathic connection was established that day. Emotions came into play, and your wish to hear about that person or to figure out what they have been up to translated itself into a connection that you ?communicated? your wish through.

With the telepathic contact between the two of you, it spurred you towards physical contact. You may have contacted them first, spurring them to phone you or contact you, or maybe you were picking up on their random thought without either of you being aware of it. Maybe they were getting ready to call you, and all of a sudden you were able to tune into their needs and their wants. This is something that is entirely possible and we have all been there at one point or another.

For one reason or another, too many people think that telepathy is something that they cannot or should not do. Perhaps they have strong religious beliefs and telepathy falls under the heading of something evil, or unnatural. They might also have discovered that they were capable of it and merely squashed it down and forgot all about it. They may also be in a situation where they think that there is no scientific proof of the phenomenon. The truth is that there most certainly is!

Another barrier that many people face who are interested in learning telepathy is one that is found in many people who already practice it, as well. There are people who believe that spoken language is somehow inferior and that was only developed after our telepathic abilities had decayed for some reason. This is also patently untrue. There was a time in our history when telepathy and spoken language were as closely linked as music and lyrics!

Take the analogy a little further and you'll find that it holds up. Music gives you a sense of things, while lyrics will help you understand it more clearly. You'll find that this is why words came up in the fist place. Over time, people became too dependent on the written word and because of this, there seems to have developed a phase inhuman history where they neglected their ability to communicate telepathically, to the point where they forgot it!

After hearing all that, there is a good chance that your interest is piqued and you are going to want to see what you can do to learn this amazing talent. You'll find that it is no where near as difficult as you might be afraid of and that all it takes is a little bit of practice.

First, you are going to need a partner. If at all possible, it should be a very close friend or partner that you have known for a while and who has as much of a burning desire to learn about telepathy as you do! At this early stage, the more in tune with the other person you are the better. This can be a formidable advantage.

Remember that you and your partner must separate to the point where you can't see one another or give conscious or subconscious cues to one another. You should both relax as much as possible, since tension and stress have a negative effect on your telepathic performance. You should take the time to clear your mind of worry and stress, and be as calm as you can. You also need to make sure you have a good way to get in touch with one another, like a phone.

Take turns and decide who is going to first. The person who is going first will visualize the other person as clearly as they can. Consider what the look like and imagine a bright line of pure energy stretching from yourself to them. You may also consider a bright glowing cloud that covers the both of you.

The next step is sending your thoughts over that thread or between those lights, just like an Internet transmission or phone call. Make the picture in your mind something simple and clear, like a photograph or simple concept – just don't make it easy for the other person to guess without telepathic contact.

Once you're sure that the telepathic transmission has been completed, get back in touch with your partner and ask if he or she saw anything and what it was. Touch base and compare notes, then switch who's doing the sending.

Don't exhaust yourself right out of the gate. Make sure that you keep your first attempts quick and easy so that you don't get discouraged. This can take some time so remember that practice makes perfect.

If you are interested in the idea of learning telepathy, stay positive and don't give up! You'll start to see results and then you'll be entering into a brand new world.

A modern piece of proverbial wisdom is that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Science and technology is the domain of human beings, and we use these unique powers to discover hidden things about the natural world, hidden principles that we can then use. What was 'impossible' 100 years ago is today routine. We have gone to the depths of the ocean and left this planet entirely…and come back (well, some of us have, but that proves that most or all of us could). We can convert sunlight into power and energy. We can write a message and have it instantaneously delivered, all in tact, to someone even if they are on another continent from us. And it's all thanks to science, not 'magic', isn't it?

Nearly all of the things that science knows and can understand today were once 'mystical'-that is, they were mysteries. And some people who were able to figure out a few of these mysteries back in a world when the concept of science as we know it today did not exist was said by others do to 'magic'. So-why can't telepathy be yet another mystery-a true natural phenomenon, one that science has yet to fully flesh out for itself, one which can be made into a 'technology' by those who do comprehend it.

The fields of paraphysics and parapsychology study (among other things) telepathic communication. Experiments are conducted in a scientific manner into the phenomenon of telepathy, with new data coming to light all of the time.

Some studies performed on the subject of telepathic communication have revealed results which show a great deal of promise. In order to be considered valid, these experiments must be conducted using the scientific method; in other words, they must produce results which are measurable, consistent and reproducible. However, the results so far have been inconsistent and are not always reproducible. Those who scoff at the idea of telepathic communication say that this demonstrates that there is no such thing. Others simply regard it as a sign that more research remains to be done in the field ? and that we have not yet figured out how telepathic communication really works.

So science has not succeeded in proving that telepathy does not exist, but how is it possible for people to communicate only with their brains and not involving any of the five known senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch? They would have to be using a means that our senses cannot detect. Artificially speaking, we already communicate in a way that our senses cannot detect, by using radio waves. Although we cannot see, hear, smell, taste or touch them, we know that they exist.

Or are our minds more similar to transmitters than we think? Brainwaves have been proven to exist; these are electromagnetic energy, just like radio waves. These brainwaves are what the study of telepathic abilities are based on. We'll try to explain this simply as possible.

Scientifically speaking, our thoughts occur as the result of biochemical processes which involve electrical impulses being transferred from neuron to neuron in the brain. These electrical impulses are very small, but they are measureable ? and of course, any electrical current will generate a magnetic field. In the human brain, there are thousands of these electrical impulses happening at any given time.

When you have electromagnetic fields, you have the possibility of communications-as our modern technology clearly proves. But, this brings us to another question: in these 'thought waves', is there truly content being carried, or is it all just 'white noise'? If there is content, can we be trained to control sending and receiving it? Is meditation so effective for so many because it's a method of tuning in the thought waves better, cutting out the noise and static, just as we do when we tune in a radio station and/or move the radio antenna around?

It is important to remember that electrical and magnetic fields much, much larger than the ones created by our brains are all around us all the time. Thanks to our stereos, televisions, computers, etc, much larger electro-magnetic fields can easily drown out ours.

It might however be possible to give the brains a boost. It seems that in times of extremely high emotional intensity, which might be brought on by a sense that one's life is in danger for instance, more neural synapses than usual fire simultaneously, temporarily spiking the brain's bio-magnetic and bio-electrical intensity.

Brief occurrences of telepathy have been documented in cases where a mother knows that her child is in distress even though they are apart from each other. During the heightened emotional state of the mother her synapses are firing more neurons simultaneously. It would certainly seem that a link exists between the spike in the bio-electrical and bio-magnetic waves and the occurrences of telepathy.

With the use of mainstream science there is just no way to prove that telepathy in hums exists beyond a shadow of a doubt. But we are seeing slow changes as science continues to increase its studies into telepathy. And with this increase in studies science is showing that telepathy does exist and anyone can learn to become telepathic with training.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

A form of non-verbal communication known as Kinesics can be construed as mental telepathy. Kinesics is the ability to communicate using eyes or body behaviors instead. Entire conversations can be had without saying a word, but the other person knows what you mean or are thinking, like parents communicating without speaking when they don't want their children to hear. Kinesics or non-verbal communication more easily attained between people who have a close relationship, such as?spouses, brothers and sisters, parents and children and at times close friends.

There are some people who feel this kind of communication cannot qualify for mental telepathy due to the fact that here senses are being used and only the sound is excluded. In a way they are right. Nevertheless mental telepathy has a very significant part in this method of communication. The fact that their minds are so in synch with each other is the reason that non verbal communication is more effective in people who know each other well than strangers. Conversely people say that since the people in question know each other well or may be are used to the sign language between them, that's the reason why it is so effective.

EMPATHETIC REACTIONS

Using empathy to perceive the emotions of others can be considered a level of mental telepathy. Being able to understand how they must be feeling is something that some people are better at than others and can be learned if the person has the right type of personality. It is not uncommon for an empathetic friend to cry when another friend is telling a sad story, or cry during a sad movie where somebody dies at the end.

Sympathetic pain is an empathy feeling of another person's pain as if it were your pain. For example, after witnessing someone that is pregnant and close to you go into labor, you may experience an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach, even though you know its fine. Experiencing an overwhelming emotion, such as joy, grief, or depression can also cause an empathetic level of awareness where you may feel an echo of the same emotion inside you. The phenomena of long distance empathy is where a person suddenly feels that someone close to them has been hurt, or is in pain, even though they have not spoken to or heard anything from the person at the time.

Some people scoff at these kind of empathetic experiences and call them imagination running wild. Even if we agree with them incase of events which occur when our loved ones are close to us; like would be physically feel the pain if we could not see the wound? Nevertheless, it still does not answer the question of feeling the pain of a person who is away from us or far from us. Science still does not have an explanation for long distance empathy.

CONCRETE CONCEPTS

This level of mental telepathy transcends the senses and moves beyond the physical realms. This is essentially a mind play where thoughts are used to transfer symbols and objects between two people. Needless to say here training, concentration and practice between the sender and receiver are paramount to make this a success.

The principle behind this meaning of mental telepathy is – simpler the concept, the easier it is to communicate through thought alone. For example, simple things, like a color or shape as used in the example above, may be easier to convey than something more complex like an animal or a person's name.

This kind of telepathy often involves a lot of trials. One kind of tests are conducted with what are known as Zener cards which are simple cards with symbols like star, circle and even wavy lines. However, critics of Zener cards say that since there are just five cards involved, the probability of guessing the right answer in more than 20%. Conversely it can also be pointed out that using shared known symbols can augment the mental coordination between the sender and the receiver. Though 20% success rate may be possible or even expected in such experiments, people really don't have an answer for 50% or more success rates which have been observed in these tests.

ABSTRACT IDEA LEVELS

Abstract concepts involve communicating more than just simple shapes and colors. In this level there are ideas and actions and values that are communicated. Hence it's increasingly difficult even for accomplished telepaths to master this level and it's quite normal to see a low rate of success here.

Scientists have a hard time figuring out how animals appear to communicate using abstract concepts, and mental telepathy should not be ruled out, even though some of the concepts may just be basic impulses and instincts. Animals lack prefrontal lobes where abstract ideas originate so they are only capable of communicating them on a level lower than expert human telepaths.

Some philosophers believe that there was time that humans could communicate via telepathy but as they evolved and language developed, this skill was lost. If this theory has some basis in fact then there are chances that this lost art can be revived with the right stimulus!

There are others still that theorize that having psychic powers such as ESP and mental telepathy are actually a "future" development in human evolution. If enough people develop these powers, humans in the future could become telepathic in communication as they evolve.

Communication is not always limited to vocalization or writing, we can convey thoughts or feelings by a look or a touch. Telepathy is removing all normal conventions and feeling through a long distance, and without technology like telephones or email. It is a meeting of the minds as it were. Many animals can convey thoughts or feeling without speaking or touching. This may be known as instinctual behavior, but many believe animals are more than likely telepathic. Many who study this behavior in animals claim it to be true and since there is no science that disproves it, it can be believed.

When looking back to primitive times, anthropologists believe that some ancient tribes made use of the ability of telepathy and still have the ability to do so today.

While it is sometimes equated to be far fetched, that is obviously not the case. The perception of telepathy needs to be one that is possibly inherited and an ability that can be learned. It is just like learning to communicate with a new language or learning anything new for that matter. Just because you can?t do it, does not mean that it does not exist. Maybe you are the one that is a little lacking on your learning abilities!

With modern times being what they are, our society has all but lost their natural abilities of telepathic power. These abilities are deep inside of everyone and are just as natural as the ability to speak, listen to music and respond and using your common 5 senses.

Telepathy has often been called the 6th sense. You may have also heard it called the third eye. While these are not nearly the same thing, they are both linked to the ability of being telepathic.

Have you ever had a gut feeling? We all have so it is nothing out of the ordinary. You hear stories of mothers who felt that their daughter was in danger on the other side of the country or of twins that could sense that something was amiss with their other half. This gut feeling or instinct is actually a form of telepathy. You may not want to admit it but there is no real argument here. You are experiencing the exact definition of what telepathy is!

Esoteric is often a word used to describe telepathy, but it should not be. It should be viewed in a like manner of any learned ability. If you have difficulties learning a language or reading, why can you not have trouble perfecting your ability to be telepathic? It is very possible that if you have some type of learning disorder, it will affect your ability to train this form of communication. It is not something that is readily considered but it should be.

Instead, our society has alienated this skill and has failed to hone it to perfection over the years. It should be groomed as we would speech, music and our natural senses but it is not.

Others feel that telepathy is just a form of our sixth sense. That what we are experiencing is not a true telepathic trait but a more common feeling that manifests itself through this sense. In the animal kingdom, it is more commonly known as instinct.

We have many ways of expressing our intuition, or telepathy. You may get sudden shivvers down your spine, some people say that is someone walking on their grave. This sensation is often a precursor to a telepathic thought or feeling. Perhaps right after that some thing very good or some thing very bad happens. Did you just have a telepathic moment or is it coincidence? Some may have a feeling of dread for no reason at all, then they may get some bad news that they did not want to hear. This also can be a form of telepathy in it?s purest form.

Why people starting to lose faith in telepathy or stopped practicing their ability to do so is hard to figure out. However, one reason that can be directly linked to this is the popularity of modern religion. Today, religion all but belittles the telepathic ability or treats it as some sort of sign of being a demon.

Because formal religion has gained in power over the last hundreds of years, many have been trained to put their thoughts and beliefs into their religion instead of into their own inner powers. By idolizing religious icons, the church has gained some power over the faith of its followers.

Some may argue that it is the other way around, that because of organized religion, that we have put telepathy onto holy leaders as opposed to an inherent trait. This is because some religious leaders have led, their flocks to believe that telepathy is a tool of the devil. This is a great way for the masses to ignore and eventually lose their telepathic ability.

But not nearly as well known is the truth that we can communicate with other people without speaking a word or even moving ourselves physically.

We are conditioned from infancy to think, speak, behave and act out as did our elders. They were never taught to use the powers of their minds to reach out in communications with others; therefore they never knew to teach it to us. Our innate abilities remain untapped and untrained.

And so the ability to communicate telepathically lies dormant except for those rare ?coincidental? moments when you hear the phone ring and know ahead of time who?s on the other end of the line.

Is this a form of psychic forewarning? Or did you simply receive a subconscious telepathic signal from the person that called you?

In our every day lives, there are many times in which we communicate with others on a subconscious level. Have you ever considered the possibility of training your mind to engage in conscious telepathic communication?

Human telepathy is a natural inborn ability. However, in the majority of humans this ability is never harnessed and guided into becoming one of the conscious senses for use in daily life. This is not to say that we do not use it. It means simply that the majority of individuals do not understand how to focus their minds in the degree of making communication likely.

Scientists have worked on this and have figured out that our thoughts have a frequency, not unlike radio waves. They can be measured, actually. If you can master the frequency of your thoughts and learn how to chanelize them where you want, you can communicate with nothing but your mind.

There are various means for improving you telepathic abilities.

*Trance state – Your mind can best receive information when it is in a sort of trance. This is something most humans are capable of. At this stage, your body is relaxed and your mind open.

If you are honing your ability to communicate telepathically on your own, be sure to take some time to learn how to enter this trance-like state.

*Focus. While you are relaxed in a serene area focus on an individual you would like to contact you. Keep focusing on that individual while you imagine that individual receiving the message. As you are sending positive and cheerful emotions, allow your thoughts to express that you want them to get in touch with you. This is not concentrating to send a command as that will not work. Nevertheless, continue sending your positive thoughts and vibrations.

*Belief is very important. You have to believe that the person is receiving your message. Have an open minded attitude.

*End Your Transmission. Instead of letting your mind wander to other subjects, simply retract them back into your own mind and stop projecting. There is a simple reason for this.

When you release the positive impressions from the person you were attempting to contact, he or she should have the subconscious sense that those positive thoughts have been removed and will want to make an attempt to re-establish the positive connection with you. You might be surprised to find that the person you attempted to contact reaches out to call you very soon.

This is a resourceful technique for learning how to focus your mind and your inborn telepathic abilities. There are equally powerful ways to learn to focus when two people are involved.

When you are working with someone else you can practice this method of telepathic communicating.

*Sender and receiver – First decide who will be the sender and who the receiver.

The receiver needs to jot down all the thoughts of the sender even if he feels that the images are incorrect. If often happens that the sender focuses on a particular ?object?. This makes the receiver feel that the images he is getting are wrong. But tell your receiver to jot down ?every? image he receives.

*Visualization. Before beginning the sender should consider some prearranged clear image which is easier for the receiver to pick up on. Make sure to pick objects that are identifiable for most individuals. This might be a juicy orange, a red apple or yellow bananas for example. These are simple and direct images you can maintain and project when you focus and send.

*Transmit. Shut your eyes and focus your mind on making a connection thought-tube between sender and receiver. Visualize this thought-tube clearly in your imagination as a connection between you and the receiver.

Once you have visualized the thought-tube, imagine yourself placing the chosen object in the tube. Follow it all the way from your end of the tube to the receiver?s end. Try to clearly and vividly imagine the object as it leaves your end of the tube and travels to the receiver.

Visualization is one of the most powerful ways of focusing your mind to send your message.

*End the Transmission. Once you have the sense that the thought-object has arrived at its destination, end your projection and allow your mind to go blank. This interruption in projection serves the important purpose of allowing the receiver time to process and realize that he really did see an image. It also allows him time to make note of the images and impressions that he received.

*Receiver. It is important that the receiver remain relaxed and calm, as well as keep an open and willing mind. Openness to receive the images and impressions you send are crucial. The receiver should write down images as they come to mind.

Even if the receiver thinks the images they see are just a product of their imagination it is still important to record everything they see.

*Result – Once your training is over compare the images taken initially and towards the end of the session. Initially there will not be 100% match between the real object and the image taken down.

You can always improve your results with practice.

But not nearly as well known is the truth that we can communicate with other people without speaking a word or even moving ourselves physically.

Human beings are imitators. They learn by observation of their elders around them. This is how we learn to speak, think and behave in a given situation. But adults do not use the power of their minds to communicate with kids. That ability is not honed through a person?s life.

The ability, as a result, fades and comes up to the surface on times like when the phone rings and you just uncannily know who?s calling you.

Is this gut feeling a form of clairvoyance? Did you just pick up on a subconscious telepathic call from the individual who is calling you?

We often unconsciously telecommunicate with other people. But did you know that you can train your mind to telecommunicate consciously with other people?

Human telepathic communication is an inborn ability that most people have. In most cases, it is never developed or molded into a sense that we use purposely in every day life. This doesn?t mean that we never use our telepathic abilities; it just means that most of us don?t know how to focus our minds to make this kind of communication possible.

Science has proven that thoughts have a measurable frequency, similar to radio waves. By learning to control your thought frequencies and direct them in a specific manner, you can start learning how to communicate with only the power of your mind.

You can improve your telepathic abilities in various ways such as

*Trance State. When you can induce a trance like state you will be more receptive. Most individuals can induce almost hypnotic trance where their mind is open and their body is relaxed.

You really should take the time to learn how to induce a trance like state when you are developing your telepathic abilities.

*Focus. While you are relaxed in a serene area focus on an individual you would like to contact you. Keep focusing on that individual while you imagine that individual receiving the message. As you are sending positive and cheerful emotions, allow your thoughts to express that you want them to get in touch with you. This is not concentrating to send a command as that will not work. Nevertheless, continue sending your positive thoughts and vibrations.

*Belief – With an open mind, you need to believe that the person you want to communicate with is getting your message.

*End your projection – Do not let your mind stray. Pull your thoughts back in. stop projecting. Want to know the reason?

When you release the positive impressions from the person you were attempting to contact, he or she should have the subconscious sense that those positive thoughts have been removed and will want to make an attempt to re-establish the positive connection with you. You might be surprised to find that the person you attempted to contact reaches out to call you very soon.

If you are practicing on your own, this is a great technique to learn to direct your mind and your natural telepathic abilities. Techniques involving two people can be just as powerful.

Here is a helpful technique for two people to practice using telepathic communication skills.

*Sender and receiver – First decide who will be the sender and who the receiver.

The receiver should keep pen and paper at the ready to take notes on whatever impressions he may receive. At first, the receiver may feel as though he is simply making up images out of his own mind, especially if the sender is using simple images. Nonetheless, the receiver should record any thoughts and impressions for comparison later.

*Visualize. The sender should come up with some simple images of ahead of time that will be easy for the receiver to pick up. Most people will easily recognize a yellow banana, a red apple, or a full white moon, for example. These are common and simple items that help you project while maintaining your focus.

*Transmitting your message – Close your eyes and imagine that your message is being actually received by the receiver. Imagine a thought tube between the two of you. It is a connection between you.

Then you will place the object that the receiver should see inside the mental communication tube and send it to him or her. Create a clear image. If you choose to focus on the yellow bananas make sure you follow the bananas all the way to the end of the thought-tube.

Understand that Visualization is a very powerful tool.

*End Transmission. When you feel that you image has been received, end the transmission and then permit your mind to become as a clean slate. It is vital to end the transmission because it will provide the receiver time to recognize that there was an image that appeared and time to realize exactly what the image was.

*Receiver – The receiver must be in a relaxed state so that he allows his mind to receive all images freely. He must also take down all the images in writing.

When the mind and thoughts are quiet anyone can experience images or flashes in their mind. The receiver may entertain doubts. However, it is very important to record any impressions of images.

*Results. At the end of your telepathic practice session, compare notes with the receiver about the impressions and images that were sent and received. You should quickly realize that even minds inexperienced in telepathic communication can often receive vague impressions. Even though you will not get them all right the first time you try, you should see a few that match up.

With practice this will improve.

Each and every one of us already has the ability of telepathy. Why doesn?t everyone use telepathy then? Most people have not spent the necessary time training their mind to use their telepathic abilities consciously. Like any other kind of skill, it takes practice to use telepathy well. Sometimes, however, out telepathic abilities come to the surface without our being aware of it; but you can develop telepathy to the point that you can control this ability with your conscious mind.

The use of ones powers, of the mind, are largely looked at with skepticism from the population at large. How many times have you encountered a depressed and gloomy person when you were having a great day? And within a very short period of time had your own feelings changed and become like that persons.

It is the change of emotions that is transferred onto you, not the words they said to you. Their feelings seeping into your subconscious. This is a type of mental telepathy.

Scientific tests have proven that by accessing the center of your subconscious mind and also understanding how to concentrate your feelings and thoughts towards a given person, that you can arouse your long forgotten telepathic abilities.

Think of telepathy as if it were a foreign language. As a child, you learned your native language by listening to and imitating the people around you. Your parents taught you to speak; but almost certainly, they did not teach you to use telepathy to communicate. This however does not mean that you don?t have telepathic abilities.

If we have never been taught by our parents to use the 'other'ability, does that mean we will never be able to use our minds communicate? Will we be unable to do it?

It just means we have never been taught its use and the answer is no, it does not.

?Mental-Muscle? training

Young children learn to develop their vocal abilities and to control the mouth movements and learn to form words, in much the same way, you need to control and strengthen your telepathic abilities.

In the same manner that young children learn to talk by strengthening their vocal cords and mouth movements while learning to make sounds and then words. You need to learn control of your mind to develop your telepathic powers. Your mind as different areas that control different things and the part of your brain which controls telepathic abilities is the subconscious or a deep hypnotic (trance) state a level of total relaxation reached which all humans are capable of achieving easily.

Learn the art of relaxing the mind so you are able to go easily into a trance-like state of mind. Once you have reached the trance, you can start to teach your mind on the art of being controlled on queue.

Focus

Maintaining and focusing your mind in a trance might be difficult to master. However, when you are having a deep relaxation session, think of an individual you want to contact you.

Keep visualizing this person as you enter your trance. Project positive thoughts toward them and visualize these signals moving from you to them. Visualize this person receiving your thoughts; do this for a few minutes to make sure that they receive them.

Then stop your concentration all together. This is vital so that the person can feel the lack of communication from you, which will hopefully urge them into trying to reconnect with you and contact you back.

This exercise should be done regularly; it will prepare you to be able to send and receive telepathic communications, which will be helpful as you begin practicing telepathy with a partner.

Partner Practice

In this exercise, one partner sends, the other receives. The sender should begin by projecting simple messages to the receiver, such as images of bright colors.

The receiver should write down all telepathic messages that they receive during the exercise.

Afterwards, compare notes and take a look at how well you did in the exercise. It will take some time to sharpen your telepathic abilities, so don?t get discouraged. Practice is the only way to develop telepathy, but you will become better at it with time.

Most of us are not aware of the fact that we are all born with the ability to communicate with our brains without the slightest usage of any other part of the body.

This ability remains unused by us since we don?t cultivate it. As we grow up we are encouraged only to talk, and not to explore this innate ability of the mind.

Consequently those abilities have faded into the background simply to surface on those occasions of instantly knowing who is on the other end of the phone when it rings.

Could this be a precedent to clairvoyance? Maybe your mind got a subconscious telepathic call from the person who called you.

Very often we will communicate with other individuals on a subconscious level during the daily events of our lifetime. You can train your mind to focus on consciously communicating too.

Human telepathy is a natural inborn ability. However, in the majority of humans this ability is never harnessed and guided into becoming one of the conscious senses for use in daily life. This is not to say that we do not use it. It means simply that the majority of individuals do not understand how to focus their minds in the degree of making communication likely.

It has been scientifically proven that there is a frequency of thought. It is possible to train your mind to control this frequency of your thought and not just that you can also direct your thoughts at the direction you want to. This is the main principle of telecommunication.

To improve your telepathic abilities, try the following.

*Trance state – Your mind can best receive information when it is in a sort of trance. This is something most humans are capable of. At this stage, your body is relaxed and your mind open.

If you are working on improving your telepathic abilities you should devote some time to bringing your mind to the trance state.

*Focus Your Thoughts. After you are calm, quiet, and relaxed, turn your thoughts toward someone whom you?d like to have contact you. Direct your energies toward that person. Imagine the person?s mind opening to receive your message. Project positive energy and happy thoughts, and let your thoughts send the message to the person to get in touch with you. Don?t try to command; this approach does work. Just make sure you project positive impressions.

*Belief. Have faith that your message is being received, while remaining open minded as you begin developing your telepathic focus.

*End your projection – Do not let your mind stray. Pull your thoughts back in. stop projecting. Want to know the reason?

Once you end the projection of positive thoughts and feelings, the person you just tried to contact will more than like experience the lack of your thoughts and be urged to reestablish contact with you. When this individual calls you shortly, do not be surprised.

When practicing all by yourself, this is an excellent way to work on focusing your mind and natural telepathic abilities. With two people, there are other similarly powerful ways to harness your telepathic abilities.

Here is a helpful technique for two people to practice using telepathic communication skills.

*Sender and Receiver. Determine who will send the message and who will receive it. For this example, we will make the assumption that you will be sending the message.

The receiver should scribble down whatever impressions he receives. The sender might concentrate on a simple object, but the receiver should put all his ideas down in writing for comparison later.

*Visualize. The sender should come up with some simple images of ahead of time that will be easy for the receiver to pick up. Most people will easily recognize a yellow banana, a red apple, or a full white moon, for example. These are common and simple items that help you project while maintaining your focus.

*Message Transmitting. Close your eyes. Focus on building a communication thought-tube between the two of you. In your mind?s eye picture it clearly as connecting the sender and receiver.

After that, visualize the item you are attempting to transmit to the receiver and, in your mind?s eye, place it inside the thought-tube and send it directly to the receiver. Follow the red apple all the way from the beginning to the end of the thought-tube.

You can train your mind to focus and send messages with the help of visualization since it is a powerful tool.

*End the Transmission. Once you have the sense that the thought-object has arrived at its destination, end your projection and allow your mind to go blank. This interruption in projection serves the important purpose of allowing the receiver time to process and realize that he really did see an image. It also allows him time to make note of the images and impressions that he received.

*Receiver – The receiver must be in a relaxed state so that he allows his mind to receive all images freely. He must also take down all the images in writing.

When thoughts are still everyone will have experiences of images and flashes within their mind?s-eye. At first the receiver may have doubts; however it is essential that any impressions should be written down.

*Results. After completing the telepathic training compare notes of the recorded images that were received. Of course, your first attempts may not produce a correct answer every time; however you will find several matches. You will find that even those with untrained minds do have the ability to send and or receive.

With practice, you can improve upon these results.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Being able to use kinesics or non-verbal communication to transfer thoughts between two people has been considered mental telepathy on some level. This can range from simple messages like 'go away' to entire conversations that don't involve language, other than body language or facial expressions. This form of communication is realized more easily and more exactly between people who are very close and familiar, such as spouses, children and their parents and sometimes even friends that are very close.

Many people however do not call this kind of communication as mental telepathy since as per them the people in question are using their senses and not just thoughts to communicate. However, mental telepathy does have a part to play in this mode of communication since studies tell us that this type of communication has a great success rate with people who known and are mentally in sync with each other than with mere strangers. However, some people may even turn down this statement and say that people who are familiar with each other are also used to each others body language or may have even developed non verbal cues and signals to communicate over a period of time.

EMPATHY

Using the ability to directly experience the emotions of others is known as empathy and it is another level of mental telepathy. Some people may not have any skills in this area while others are very good at being able to mentally understand how they must be feeling. Empathy is also a skill that can be increased with training and practice over a period of time. Actors can imitate the emotions of others, when the script calls for it, even to the point of being able to make themselves laugh or cry with real tears.

Sympathetic pain is another form of emotional mental telepathy, like feeling another person's pain as if it were your own. For example, you may experience a pain in your arm after witnessing someone close to you breaks their arm. Even though you know its fine, it is still an uncomfortable feeling. Overwhelming emotion, such as joy, grief, or depression, may cause you to feel the same emotion inside you, if it is somebody close to you. Long distance empathy or emotional mental telepathy is where a person suddenly knows or feels that someone close to them is in danger or is in pain, even though they are the person may be far away.

Psychologists think an overactive imagination could be to blame for these types of reactions rather than mental telepathy. There may be senses being used, such as seeing a medical procedure, but long-distance empathy, where it is a gut feeling and no visual or audio communication has taken place is quite another story and certainly does not reflect any direct communications.

CONCRETE LEVELS OF PROOF

The thought transference of concrete symbols, such as card tricks is considered a higher level of mental telepathy. Mental telepathy at this level moves beyond the regular five senses because it involves un-related and unbiased participants. Intense concentration on an object or symbol is necessary to send the thought or picture using mental telepathy.

A color or shape is easier to convey through thought than something more complex like an animal or a deceased persons name from the beyond.

Experiments in mental telepathy are often conducted using The Zener cards. These are the cards that are used in tests of mental telepathy they contain symbols such as a square, circle, plus sign, star and three wavy lines. When it comes to the Zener cards, since there are only 5 cards, critics and skeptics have pointed out that a random guess would give a 20% chance of being right. One could argue that is easier to coordinate thought transference if a shared, known, limited set of concrete symbols is used between the sender and receiver. A success rate of 50% or higher can not be explained away by simple statistics and has happened to those that believe in this mental telepathy meaning.

ABSTRACT CONCEPTS

Mental telepathy at this level uses abstract thoughts, actions and ideas and goes beyond simple colors and shapes. Rarely do telepaths achieve this level of mental telepathy, and experiments have shown that do not do as well on these types of tests.

Science is not able to explain how it is that some animals appear able to communicate. Mental telepathy should not be ruled out and in some cases it appears animals are using abstract or non-concrete concepts, although they may be very basic. Since animal brains lack prefrontal lobes, ideas such as this would probably not go beyond simplistic impulses to express emotions such as ?danger', ?hungry', ?thirsty' or ?horny'.

Some philosophers believe that there was time that humans could communicate via telepathy but as they evolved and language developed, this skill was lost. If this theory has some basis in fact then there are chances that this lost art can be revived with the right stimulus!

Another school of thought says that psychic powers, telepathy and other ESP functions are a thing of the more evolved future. Many people feel that with the advent and further evolution of man, almost all humans will be accomplished telepaths in the future.
