Have you ever thought that human beings can learn telepathy? Telepathy can be defined as seeing or transmitting feelings over a long distance; you don't use the five recognized senses and you don't use words. When you are thinking about telepathy, it is mental communication that can be conveyed instantly over any distance.

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!

The truth is, though, that you managed to make telepathic contact with the other person in one way, shape or form. You were able to transmit feelings of curiosity or wonder or affection and they were able to pick it up.

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.

Lots of people think that for one reason or another that they cannot learn telepathy. Perhaps they were raised with very religious strictures, or maybe they are were taught that it was wrong or even evil. They may have repressed their natural talent until they could no long recognize them. On the other hand there are the die hard doubter who claim that there is no scientific truth out there for telepathy, when the opposite is true!

One big barrier to learning to communicate in a telepathic fashion is a myth that even practitioners of telepathy believe. That's the concept that speaking and spoken language are inferior to telepathic content. These people believe that our development of language was due to the decay of telepathy. However, this isn't any more true than the idea that telepathy is a trick from the devil. Words and telepathy go hand in hand, the way a song and its lyrics complement one another.

In this context, think of spoken word as the lyrics and of telepathy as the music. Both can be heard on their own, but they enhance the other. Words will tell you more directly what the telepathic feelings are all about and this is why they came about in the first place. Over the the ages, though, people became so dependent on the word that they forgot how to develop their telepathic abilities.

So, if you're interested in getting closer to other people and opening up your senses, you should learn telepathy. It's not as hard as it sounds to people who don't know how to do it. Just like everything else, what's needed is 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.

Next, you should stop and separate from each other to the point where you can't physically see one another. Take some time to relax and to do some breathing exercises. Being tense will interfere with your ability to do it properly and keep you from succeeding. Remember that your mind should be free from stress and worries. Have a method to get in touch with each other right away, like phone or Internet chat.

Take turns. If you are starting out, tell the other person that you are going to be visualizing something. Picture the other person in your mind as clearly as you can, and then imagine something binding the two of you together. Maybe it is a golden light that shines on you both or maybe it is a glowing thread of pure energy that binds you together.

Using that glowing threat, send an image along it. Think about it like a telephone call or a transmission to a TV set. When you are just getting started, make sure that your thoughts are simple and that you are going off of something you can picture clearly, like a photograph or even an image.

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.

When you're just starting out, remember to take things slowly. If after fifteen minutes, you don't feel like you've been able to make a transmission, stop and take a break. Your initial efforts need to be brief to keep you from tiring yourself out, and to keep negative feelings from having an impact on your progress.

When you are learning telepathy, remember that you should keep yourself as positive as you can. Don't give up and you'll be very close to discovering brand new worlds!
