EDITOR’S NOTE: Please be aware, that if you practice Telepathy and Empathy enough, they will start working on their own (all the time) and you will start picking up people’s thoughts automatically. If this happened, create a shield and program it to block other people’s thoughts from coming to you. Also, Auric Sight may start working automatically too, but this isn’t too much of a problem.
Telepathy
By Ness
This article differs from the other articles in one major way; for the exercise below, you will need a partner. Your partner should be someone who is interested in learning telepathy and will put effort into the following exercise. Lack of skill is alright if you're a beginner, but lack of skill and effort will just result in failure.
In this exercise, you will be sending and receiving a number. The number will be a number ranging anywhere from one to nine. I don't believe zero should be included for this reason: if the thought is not well-sent or well-received, or both, a zero could resemble an eight, or vice-versa.
Sit down with your partner, preferably facing each other. Before you can go any farther, you will need to determine who will be the "sender" and who will be the "receiver". The names explain it all; the sender will attempt to send the thought, and the receiver will attempt to receive the thought. Once you have that figured out, you can continue.
Both you and your partner close your eyes and clear your minds. Visualize a connecting structure reaching from your forehead to your partner's forehead. The structure can be anything, but common examples are cables and small tunnels/tubes. Continue to visualize the cable, in this example, and see it getting stronger and stronger as you focus on it more. Try to see it from your mind's point of view, as if your mind was looking down it. Visualize that you are looking through the round opening of the cable and that you can see the cable run away from you and into your partner's mind. Try to make the visualization as realistic as possible.
While you are visualizing the cable, try to see a sort of "flow" to it. The direction of the flow depends on which you are; the sender or the receiver. If you are the sender, visualize the flow heading from your forehead, through the cable, and into your partner's forehead. If you are the receiver, visualize the flow heading from your partner's forehead, through the cable, and into your forehead.
After you feel that you have a strong connection established along with a strong flow, what you do next depends on, once again, which you are; the sender or the receiver. If you are the receiver, simply sit there, thinking of nothing but the cable and the flow of it into your mind. If you are the sender, however, you have work to do.
First of all, of course, you have to pick the number that you will be sending thoughts. Visualize it as clearly as you can, and see it sitting in front of the opening of the cable. Once you feel that you've visualized the number enough, visualize the cable sucking the number in, pulling it away from you. Visualize the number getting pulled by the flow of the cable through the cable and into your partner's mind. In my experiences, it helps to repeat the visualization several times, but it's up to you. At this point, the sender's job is finished (assuming they only sent the number once), and the receiver now has work to do.
The receiver sits there visualizing the flow of the cable pulling all thoughts in the cable to the receiver's mind. The receiver probably won't know when they have received the number, though. In my experiences, however, it was the first number that came to my mind. Just to be sure, I created a simple method to "check" your answer.
The sender will have to send the number repeatedly until the exercise is done. Each time the receiver receives the number, they will clear their mind again, but still remember the number that they just received. The purpose of this is to make sure that you're really receiving the number, and that it's not just your mind making things up. If you are the receiver, and you receive the same number over and over again, chances are that you are actually receiving the number successfully.
Once the receiver feels that they have a strong idea of what the number is, they should open their eyes and ask their partner if the number they were seeing was in fact the number the sender was sending. If so, it's very possible that you performed telepathy successfully. If the number was wrong, though, just try again; this does take a little bit of practice to figure out.
Good luck on your telepathy!
