In yoga,
telepathy is considered a Siddhi
(supernatural power) arising from deep meditative states, involving
thought transference via a universal mind, often linked to activating Chakras like the Ajna (Third Eye) and Sahasrara (Crown),
though yogic traditions often advise focusing on spiritual growth
rather than these side effects. Practices like intense concentration
(Dharana), meditation (Dhyana), Pranayama, and ethical conduct help
quiet the mind, allowing access to subtler levels of consciousness where
thoughts can be shared or perceived, bridging the gap between
individual minds through a shared energy field. Yogic Perspective on Telepathy
- A Siddhi: Telepathy is listed in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as one of the siddhis, or extraordinary powers, that can manifest with advanced practice.
- Universal Mind: It's believed to occur by connecting to a universal consciousness or mind, allowing access to others' thoughts by stilling one's own mind.
- Chakra Connection: The Ajna (Third Eye) and Sahasrara (Crown) chakras are key centers for receiving and transmitting thoughts.
- Subtle Body Interaction: It involves interaction between subtle bodies, allowing for communication beyond physical senses, as described in some spiritual texts.
How It's Developed
- Intense Focus (Samyama): Combining concentration (Dharana), meditation (Dhyana), and absorption (Samadhi) on specific points can unlock these abilities.
- Pranayama: Breath control exercises are used to build energy and refine the mind.
- Chakra Activation: Activating specific spinal chakras, particularly the Third Eye and Crown, enhances telepathic capacity.
- Mindfulness & Presence: Deepening presence and raising vibration through practices like meditation reveal innate telepathic potential.
Caveats & Warnings
- Distractions: Siddhis like telepathy are considered by-products of deeper practice and can become obstacles if pursued selfishly, diverting focus from liberation (Moksha).
- Ethical Foundation: Swami Sivananda stressed that a strong moral character (truthfulness, humility) is vital for spiritual development, including psychic powers.
