What is E.S.P and How Does it Happen?

Psi is the collective term for various hypothetical mental abilities (called extrasensory perception or E.S.P.), along with other paranormal phenomena.



If you have thought seriously about E.S.P, and developing it, you must know that it is a prerogative of your subconscious mind and for it to develop; your conscious, waking mind should take a backseat.

The common way to initiate this is to relax your mind to the extent of pushing it beyond waking consciousness, so it reaches to a floating, dreamlike state. When this is completed, your subconscious will automatically begin perceiving your suggestions and E.S.P. will set in. Look up audio files on the net which can help you reach this state of mind, the altered state that favours E.S.P.



These are the major types of E.S.P.:-



Telepathy: The ability to read the minds of other people.



Clairvoyance: The ability to "see" events or objects happening somewhere else.



Precognition: Similar to Divination, the ability to see the future.



Retrocognition: The ability to see the distant past.



Mediumship: The ability to channel and connect with dead spirits.



Psychometry: the ability to read information about a person or place by touching a physical object



Telekinesis: the ability to affect the material world with the mind alone is a psi phenomenon too, though not strictly E.SP.



The idea behind E.S.P has been around for centuries, only in different forms. The modern concept began to take shape only recently, the beginning of 20th century onwards. The bottom-line behind this is that the human mind can perceive matters beyond the scope of known bodily senses.

1934 saw the coinage of the term E.S.P by Duke University professor J. B. Rhine, one of the most eminent researchers in the field of paranormal psychology.



The possession of Extra Sensory abilities is a widely debated topic. Some people are of the opinion that everybody possesses them and experiences involuntary moments of manifestation.

Others will say that only a handful of psychics, shamans or mediums are blessed by it. The widely agreed upon belief though, is that all of us have the potential for E.S.P, only some of us are more in tune to our subconscious and hence to our Extra Sensory Perceptions than others are.



Debates also run about how this actually works. One theory says that, like our ordinary senses, ESP is energy moving from one point to another point. This energy is then electromagnetic wave-like in nature, similar to light, radio and X-rays, which have not been physically detected, but are just streams of packets of energy.



Like other other-worldly concepts, even E.S.P has no concrete scientific basis. Believing in it is a bit like believing in God. It needs faith more than facts. But once you begin believing, it can work wonders. The existence and reach of this has been proven the world over time and again and it is truly wonderful once it begins to manifest.
