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.

Whether you know it or not, you've already experienced telepathic communication. For example, when you start thinking of someone and you receive a call or letter from them right afterwards.

This wasn't a coincidence. What happened is that you or the other person initiated some sort of telepathic contact and there was an exchange of thoughts or feelings which one of you sent and the other received.

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.

There are also those who while not skeptical about the idea of telepathy are unconvinced of the value of telepathic communication. We have the power of speech; the reasoning goes, so why would we need this ability? Since it is not something which is generally considered important enough to encourage its development in children, why should one learn to use this natural human ability? The fact is that telepathy is just as useful of a means of communication as are written and spoken language, but it has simply not been made a part of our culture in the way that language has; which does not mean that it is not worth learning.

In fact, spoken language and telepathy can be complements to each other. Sometimes the spoken word is incapable of expressing exactly what we mean; conversely, telepathy can sometimes fail to convey the shadings and nuances that spoken language can. Being able to communicate with both allows you to make yourself completely understood.

Developing your telepathic communication abilities has a number of benefits. It is literally learning a sixth sense and lets you communicate in a more direct and intimate way with those around you. While it's not hard to learn telepathy per se, it does take practice like acquiring 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.

You'll take turns with your partner; one will go first and try to establish a telepathic communications channel. Visualize your partner as clearly as you can and then imagine something connection you and your partner. Most people choose to visualize a ray of light, but anything which works for you will do fine.

Use this link to send a thought or an image. Send simple signals to begin with which are clear and easy to understand; but complex enough that it would be hard 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.

You do need to be patient as you learn telepathy; it takes time to learn this skill and it's important not to let yourself get frustrated if it doesn't always work. If you dont think your transmission has been successful after 15 minutes, take a break and try again later. Otherwise, you'll just wear yourself 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.
