Telepathy is commonly described as mind reading, the ability to impress the mind of another person with a definite thought or thoughts without traveling through the usual avenues of sense. The word "telepathy" literally means, "sensing at a distance. (Tele - at a distance, and Pathos - feeling). So now we generally refer this to mean "thought-reading".

How telepathy happens is still open for debate and we can't say with any certainty why this is possible. Some are inclined to believe that vibrations travel from brain to brain, much like the signals in wireless telegraphy. While others contend that we have no proof that these brain waves exist and therefore can't predict with any certainty the avenue of transference. However, most will agree that telepathy does exist.

The following exercise will help you to prove to your own satisfaction that it does exist and we can develop our ability to do it.

* Select a friend that will be sympathetic to the experiment you are going to do. One of you will be the sender and the other will be the receiver.

* Sit facing away from each other. Both of you with a pen and paper in hand.

* Dim the lights and leave the room in semi-darkness.

* The sender will draw a geometric figure, such as a square, circle, triangle or any other uncomplicated object.

* Clear your mind of all thoughts and look at the figure intently. Try to impress the picture on your friend.

* Keep each trial under a minute in length. When you go beyond this period your mind will tend to wander and lose focus.

You should will the receiver to see the picture, but don't strain yourself in the attempt. Have complete confidence in the fact that he will see the impression of the picture that you are sending him. You must be positive and have no doubts that your friend will in fact see the picture. You must remove all self-doubt for this to work. This is very important.

Do not become frustrated and allow thoughts of negativity to enter your conscious mind. Imagine your thoughts traveling to him in a definite form, either in the shape of the picture or in the word, triangle, square etc.

The receiver should clear his mind as much as possible and write down any pictures or impressions that come to him, regardless of how insignificant they seem at the time.

Above all, early failures must not discourage you. This is inevitable, but with continued practice you will begin to see that the successes you are experiencing are more than mere chance. You will be well on your way to developing your powers of telepathy.

If you are having trouble clearing your mind and only focusing on the task at hand then it would be helpful for you to practice meditation at least once a day for about twenty minutes a day. The benefits in clarity of mind and success with developing telepathic abilities can't be measured.
