What are Soul Abilities?
There are many different ways to use soul abilities that translates to psychic skills, intuitive skills, healing abilities or mediumship abilities. It is not how you sense but what you experience that makes a soul ability. Everyone has access to their soul abilities. Some people may be able to access more abilities than others. Some people will be able to have high skills in multiple abilities or modes. Which of these abilities is your strongest right now, how many can you tap into right now- these are questions that you need to investigate, have curiosity about and experiment with on your own.
For now, just being aware of the different soul abilities could open up definitions and clarity for the developing psychic, intuitive, healer or medium.
Here is your chance to get to know an ability and, upon reflection, see if you have experienced something that fits within this experience’s boundaries.
What is Telepathy
Telepathy is knowing information due to ‘picking up’ on someone else’s thoughts. Let’s give you some more definitions, just to really get the grasp on this term:
From Cambridge Dictionary: “The ability to know what is in someone else's mind, or to communicate with someone mentally, without using words or other physical signals.”
From Society of Psychical Research :”Paranormal passage of information from one person to another”, where paranormal is “phenomenon which is considered impossible according to the established scientific world view.”
From Merriam-Webster DIctionary: “Communication from one mind to another by extrasensory means".”
Now, the way we are going to talk about telepathy is by no electronic means, that is, telepathy via human to human transmission with no other tools- just two minds and ESP. Why do I put it like that? Because, telepathy (utilizing electronics) has happened:
And, between you and me, science is kind of getting grossly entangled in this and it makes me kind of uncomfortable (j/k)
Dominant Soul Senses Used In Telepathy
When I think about telepathy, I traditionally think of it as someone ‘hearing’ someone else’s thoughts, which would be attributed to ‘clear hearing’ or clairaudience. However, from my own experience, I attribute my claircognizance, or ‘clear knowing’, to my telepathic experiences. Additionally, I would also put my clairvoyance in there as well as I also will see words or images that pop up in my mind that could be attributed to what someone else is thinking or seeing in their minds’ eye.
I don’t think there is any one dominant soul ability for this in order to attribute a ‘mind reading’ experience as a definitive telepathic experience but, from my own experience, telepathy tends to be a ‘flash’ of ESP. I compare this quick, small bit of information to my mediumship experiences, communicating with other discarnate spirits (people who have no bodies), which can take an hour to really dive into and extract stories and messaging- a longer lasting, deeper process.
My Experience with Telepathy
Having sat down and really get to know the terms and scope of telepathy during the research of creating this blog post has made me aware of telepathic experiences that I may have had. I have never focused directly on telepathy for a long stretch of time and think that if I were to really focus on this skill for at least a couple of week’s I would have a clearer understanding of how I am capable of telepathic sensing.
But, right now, having taken the time to understand telepathy more formally, I would say I have small glimpses of it that appear during conversations when I have a ‘knowing’ of what will arise during a conversation- specifically, when the topic is about a person. I will have a ‘knowing’ that flashes in my head of who a conversation may be about that could be contributed to picking up on what the other person I am conversing with may want to talk about.
Additionally, I do think about an example of ESP that i had with my daughter that I have referenced a few times throughout my blog posts, videos and podcasts. I played a game of Headbanz with my daughter Lucy a few years ago in which I recall seeing a tree in my minds eye once I had to start asking her specifics about the card that I could not see but she could, this is the aim of the game. The vision I saw in my mind was not an exact replica of the image that was on the card, yet both images represented a tree and I was correct with my intuition. This instance continues to make me wonder, however, what specific kind of experience it was and perhaps telepathy may have had a hand, in which I was visualizing what my daughter was seeing. This is an example of my psychic past that I draw back on constantly and continue to dissect but, learning the different soul abilities and soul senses is helping me narrow down that experience even more.
I could attribute this Headbanz experience as visual telepathy but where it wasn’t the exact image I’m still keeping this one ‘inconclusive’ for now.
Ways to Develop Your Telepathic Skills
Meditation
Meditation is important to find ‘your baseline’, where you connect to your own physical, mental and spiritual self in order to compare experienced external energy/messages to. Practicing meditation allows for you to explore the psychic world and get to know yourself. This is your journey and this is how you lead your way.
For more information on meditation, check out my blog post 'Meditation Basics for Developing Psychic Abilities and Other Soul Abilities' and try out these videos so you can sit back and find your baseline.
Know Your Clairs
If you are not familiar with the clairs then you may not be able to identify how you receive with you psychic senses/soul senses. It is important to get to know them so you can get a clearer understanding of your own psychic/intuitive/mediumship/etc. abilities and the tools that you naturally use to receive energy and messaging.
Get to know the different kinds of clair by checking my previous blog post ‘Time to Meet the Clairs’.
Exercise Tips For Learning Telepathy
There are some tips I have for you when you are getting your psychic/intuitive/mediumship exercise on that will help you tremendously. In my previous blog post ‘Psychic Development Exercises: Developing the Soul Senses & Soul Abilities’, I had a section of tips that I infographed and you can see in brevity to the side here.
Here are your tips when practicing mediumship:
Keep an open mind
Meditate
Observe
Document
I had already mentioned meditation above, but I would also add a few more to include:
Keep an open mind - don’t dismiss or let logic take control
Observe - don’t judge what comes in, just receive
Document - keep a journal of your experiences and try to include details
Additionally, I would add that, with time, observing how your ego enters your receptive process will help you get messaging better and reduce the strain of picking up on things. My previous blog post ‘Identifying Ego In Your Psychic Messaging’ can help you out with that once you have your bearings.
Telepathy To The Next Level: Using Your Own Biology To Tap In
Check out this pretty intriguing article from Psychology Today written by Srini Pillay, MD from April 2018, ‘The Biology of Telepathy’. It talks about the hints that biology may play a role in ESP, in part telepathic communication being possible through the release of ‘feel good’ chemicals, like dopamine and oxytocin.
How do you get those chemical going in your brain? Here are suggestions to get your Dopamine levels up from an article written by Erica Julson, MS, RDN, CLT on healthline.com called ‘10 Best Ways to Increase Dopamine Levels Naturally’ from May 10, 2018:
Eat a protein rich diet- chicken, beef, legumes. These foods have amino acids crucial for creating dopamine.
Exercise. Or, at least find something to do where you are moving your body. Admittedly, this one’s still out as to a clear consensus of exercise and direct correlation with increased dopamine levels BUT, feeling good about yourself is also a reflection of how well your body works, physically for you.
Get your sleep patterns set. You have this body that needs to be maintained and sleep is one way that our dopamine gets released. The key is quality for quantity- quality sleep (7-8 hours of restful sleep) releases dopamine. The more regular you can be with restful sleep the better your dopamine levels.
Listen to music. I didn’t even have to make this one up- it’s for real!
Take a multivitamin.
Sit in the sun.
And, guess what, the same stuff goes for Serotonin levels, too! So, make sure to create a routine that has you taking a multivitamin, sitting in the sun, listening to your favorite music on the reg and prioritize your sleeping patterns as super important to not just getting sleep but as a way to increase your psychic/ESP/telepathic abilities as well.
