There is still a large amount of skepticism surrounding the use of mind powers of any degree but consider this: how many times have you been in a great mood only to meet a person who is gloomy and depressed. Within just a few minutes of talking with the miserable person, your own mood starts to reflect the same thing.

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.

Of course, your parents probably never taught you to use your telepathic abilities, but this does not mean that you cannot use them. All it means is that you have not yet been taught how.

Lets look at some ways you might use to awaken your own latent telepathy.

Mental-Muscle training

In much the same way as young children need to learn to strengthen their voice boxes and learn to control how their mouth moves as they learn to make words, youll need to learn to strengthen and control your telepathic muscles.

The part of your brain which is responsible for telepathy is most readily accessed while you are in a trance state. This is a state of deep relaxation which can be reached through meditation and other techniques.

The key is to practice relaxation techniques until you can easily attain this trance state. Once you can do this, youll be well on your way to developing your telepathic abilities.

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.

Visualize them and project positive thoughts. Visualize them receiving your thoughts. Remain focused on this until the recipient has had enough time to absorb these thoughts.

Then withdraw your focus completely. Its important to stop the contact so the person will feel the loss of communication, which will prompt them to re-establish the connection and contact you in return.

The point of learning to focus while on your own is so that when you begin your training with a partner, your mind will already be receptive and ready to receive impressions and images more easily.

Partner Practice

Choose one person to be the receiver and one to be the sender. The sender should choose simple items to project. Choose items with clear, bright colors that are easily recognizable.

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

At the end of each practice session, compare notes and see how many images and impressions are correct. The more practice you get, the more accurate your image reception will become.
