A telepath is a psychic who possesses the ability to sense the thoughts of others and to know what another person is thinking. This type of psychic ability is similar to empathy, which is when a psychic can feel what another person is feeling. Telepathy focuses on the inner thoughts of the mind, while empathy focuses on the instinctive feelings of the body. Telepathy is usually discovered at a young age, usually during childhood.
Telepathy works in such a way that it is always easier to feel the thoughts of those who are closest to you physically. In other words, the closer someone is, the clearer their thoughts will be. On the other hand, if someone is further away, it will make a greater effort to reach them telepathically. The same goes for emotional distance. If a psychic is spiritually or emotionally close to someone, it will require less effort to sense their thoughts, even if they are physically a great distance away.
Telepathy is a unique psychic ability because a telepathic interaction can have a sender and a receiver. This is rare and is unlike most other psychic abilities. For such a telepathic interaction, both individuals must be able to communicate telepathically. The sender will focus his mind on the thoughts he wishes to send and then direct this energy to the psychic receiving the telepathic communication.
In order to do this successfully, telepathic psychics practice exercises such as alpha breathing, lucid meditation, and deep concentration exercises.
Alpha breathing is an exercise in which the psychic practices slow, controlled breathing for long periods of time. This is done so that the mind enters its alpha state, in which the mind is focused, alert and open. When a psychic uses telepathy, he must be in this state of mind.
Lucid meditation is actually a common yoga practice. This is a relaxed, passive meditation during which the individual is fully awake and aware. During lucid meditation, a psychic will allow your mind to wander freely, focusing and contemplating at will. Lucid meditation allows a psychic’s mind to explore the energy channels immediately surrounding them.
Lastly, a telepathic psychic will practice concentration exercises. This is done to aid telepathic communication, as strong concentration is required to direct one’s thoughts to another person. To practice concentration, a psychic will choose something to direct the energy, such as a candle flame, and practice sending energy to that point.
