Telepathy is the ability to send or receive thoughts and feelings over a distance. This is a form of communication which happens directly between two minds without the use of any of the five standards senses. It's also an ability which every person has the capacity for.

You've more than likely already used your natural telepathic abilities before even if you were unaware of it. All of us have had the experience of thinking of someone only to find them getting in touch with you shortly after.

You may be tempted to chalk these occurrences up to coincidence. However, that's not what it was: these are instances where you have received a telepathic signal from someone else.

This person was already meaning to get in touch and the telepathic link gave you a notice that they were thinking of you and that they were going to contact you. Of course, this can also work the other way around; which is why you may call someone you haven't spoken with in a while and have them tell you that they had just been thinking about you.

Despite being very common, most people are doubtful of the existence of telepathy or that learning telepathy is something which they can do. A lot of us are held back by religious indoctrination which teaches us that these kinds of abilities are certainly the work of evil forces. Others are reserving judgment, doubting telepathy unless and until it is scientifically proven and accepted as fact.

Still other people think that there is no reason to learn telepathy. After all, if it was so important, why wouldn't everyone practice it from a young age? This is the wrong way to think about it. We have to learn to use all of our other senses and just because our culture doesn't place a high value on psychic ability doesn't mean that learning telepathy is not worthwhile " it can be very useful, just as learning to communicate verbally is.

Telepathy and speech complement each other and when used together, allow you to communicate exactly what you mean. Telepathy can't always convey everything you want to say, but words can also prove inadequate. Using both of these natural communication abilities lets you be a more complete person and relate better with others.

There are a lot of pluses to learning telepathy. This is quite literally a sixth sense which allows you to more fully experience the world and enjoy richer interpersonal relationships. It takes practice, but so does picking up any new skill.

Partnering up with a close friend who is also interested in learning telepathy is the best way to practice this natural ability. It makes learning easier, quicker and more fun too!

Your practice sessions should be done with you at your home and your partner at theirs. This keeps you from picking up on facial expressions and other cues. Make sure that you're both relaxed and free of stress before you begin; this will facilitate your communications.

One of you needs to go first and try to clearly visualize your partner. Visualize a connection between the two of you; many people find a beam of light to be a helpful image to concentrate on.

The next step is to use this visualized link to send your telepathic communications. Imagine your thoughts traveling over this link and your partner receiving them. Keep your thoughts simple enough to understand, but pick something to send which won't be easy to guess.

Call your partner after you send your signal to compare notes. Find out what they have received and assess how successful your telepathic transmission has been. You should both them take a brief rest and then try again, with your partner now being the sender.

Learning telepathy does take some practice, so be patient with yourself and your partner. Keep your transmission short; 15 minutes at the most when you're beginning. If you don't feel that youre able to send your transmission in this time, take a break and rest. Telepathy uses parts of your mind which are usually undeveloped, so overdoing it can tire you out.

You'll need to practice regularly and keep a positive attitude as you learn telepathy. Stick with it and don't get frustrated if you don't succeed at first. If you're patient, you'll be using your telepathy sooner than you think and you'll gain a wonderful new perspective on the world.
