Seldom is it mentioned that such an ability could be used to help people as well. Indeed, greatest potential of telepathic influence is in helping others, as most people will respond far more actively to helpful suggestions than to orders that will hurt or embarrass them!

Now, for my own caution…

The techniques outlined here are real and effective. With enough self discipline and practice you can indeed influence way others think and what actions they are likely to take. This can be used, as any tool, to help or to harm. It is my most sincere hope that you will use them to help. It is also my strong belief that most truly uncaring and selfish people will find these skills too much effort to practice regardless of their wish to control others.

By now you should have basic concepts of telepathy and empathy down, if not, please read “Telepathy and Empathy: Getting Started” by Dale Power, before you attempt these techniques.

All telepathic (and empathic as well, but for rest of this article I will just refer to telepathy) influence require certain properties. The influencer will need focus and synchronized brain-wave patterns. These can be reached through meditation, bio-feedback and perhaps, on a temporary level by brain-wave synchronization technologies such as Hemi-synch.

The influencer will also need to be able to hold concepts on a sub-conscious level. This sounds difficult to many at first, but while it does take practice and effort, it is very useful in active psychic practice. To do this you want to think of pure ideas. You will know you have it down when you understand what you are thinking, but are using no word or pictures in your mind. Last, it is useful to have a plan before you start, trying to “wing-it” while in a deep mental state does not work very well. In fact it is often enough to kick you into a less mentally organized and synchronous state!

These following steps are needed for each level of influencing. You will want to start at very beginning with “Basic Telepathic Influencing” information each time you start a project, then work your way through more complex levels.

Basic Telepathic Influencing.

*Start by finding a quite and comfortable space inside your mind. This will aid you in focusing your thoughts and in holding concepts later.

*Next, focus your thoughts on person you are going to be influencing. At this point you are really just holding mental “feel” of person. Let a feeling of relaxed connection come over you. There is not need to force it, or even try to make it happen, as it is a natural process that takes place whenever a person with more synchronized brain waves focuses on another person.

*Once connected, let your mind shift into a deeper and more focused state, this will draw other person into deeper entrainment and condition their mind to reflect your thoughts.

*Now all you have to do is hold concept you wish them to receive in your mind. Because you are linked with them, you will feel when they have accepted information.

At this point you have successfully passed information to their subconscious mind. If you wish this information to have an impact on conscious thought process you might have to continue to hold concept for a while. Generally I have found that a minute or two is more than enough, as long as idea I am transmitting is clear and easily acceptable to other person.

For instance, desire to stand up and stretch is a normal and simple thing that everyone can understand and are willing to do in most circumstances. (Most circumstances. I know that if I was lying on a table having an operation, I would not be hoping up to have a good stretch!) However getting a person that is very shy to suddenly stand up and start singing in public would be a much harder thing to do! You would also have to think about whether this benefited them in any way. If they are standing on stage to perform in front of a group it will be easier to influence them than if they are in middle of a crowded restaurant.

At this level of influence though, you can easily help to calm an upset person or cheer up a person that is feeling down. It is also a simple enough method that with a little practice you can do this anywhere at anytime.

Complex Telepathic Influencing.

This is such a big problem that I have been asked by several people, in last two days, to explain some techniques they can use to find a bit of peace!

First I want to clarify what is going on with Empaths, as opposed to say, Telepaths, or Clairvoyants. It makes life much easier to deal with when you understand why a specific type of psychic phenomenon happens to you all time, and other types hardly happen at all. At this point in time it seems that we have only one psychic “organ” which is our brain. Most specifically it seems that actual sensing organ in brain lies in more primitive regions near base of brain. We don’t have a special organ, like eyes or ears, for each psychic ability. Rather empathy, telepathy, precognition, post-cognition, remote viewing and a whole host of other abilities seem to be a perceptual difference of same sense. A different approach to same thing, if you will.

It would be like being able to see in all colors, but only noticing red, lets say, or blue. You still have equipment to see them all, only you focus on one type of color, ignoring others.

So it is with psychic abilities.

We tend to pay attention to certain kinds of data and disregard, on a subconscious level as often as not, all of other information coming in. This seems to be a kind of protective mechanism. Without this natural tendency to disregard most input we would be bombarded with a vast flood of psychic data. So much so in fact that it is likely that no one could function for any length of time.

Another part of our natural defense mechanism is a field of energy and information that surrounds our bodies. This protective quality seems to be one of primary jobs of our aura. It acts as a natural filter for incoming data and energy. We can strengthen this field using various methods, which will help to control how much we have to deal with on a deep internal level.

For now, we will work with these two key components, as they can be brought to bear fairly easily in an emergency situation. From these two essentials we get several ways to protect ourselves from outside information.
