Is there a book, website, or resource that scientifically explains why people may feel an altered state of consciousness?
For instance certain Native American tribes...
I just practice with a friend.X)
Think something and have them say what it is (maybe in categories, like numbers, colors, cereals LOL). Start small until you get better and switch off.:)

ba da da ching… nice psychic joke there. but seriously get a friend and some cards, get your friend to think about the card in a different room, or you’ll actually pick up their body language not their thoughts. and try to “see through their eyes”. that’s the best I got.

My yoga teacher said that human beings have long hair on their heads to act like antenna. He said that when he let his hair grow long (he is a sikh) that he could hear people’s thoughts. I tried it and it seemed like I could send thoughts, but in 90 degree weather it is a little bit too hot and too troublesome with many knots. Sikhs wrap a turban on their heads, so that might decrease the knots, but it would be even hotter, I would think and still there would be knots when washing it perhaps.
Also try meditation. You could try going to a Buddhist church near you. You can sit there and meditate without having to be a Buddhist. They teach you how to meditate by emptying your mind of thought or at least letting them pass quickly through your head and count your breaths to 21 over and over.

Nobody knows, since nobody can do it. Sure, it’s easy to make claims on the internet, but that’s about as far as it goes. If you want to test out your ability, get a deck of cards. Have a friend draw a card and concentrate on it. You try to use your telepathy on your friend and determine the card. Then the friend puts the card randomly back in the deck and reshuffles before pulling another card. If you go through 20 trials (20 cards), the probability that a non-telepathic person will get at least 3 correct is less than 1%. If you can get 3 or more correct pretty consistently, you may have telepathy. Think about it — only 3 correct is still a 85% failure rate! Certainly this is not asking too much of a psychic or telepath. Give it a try.

Um. Well, if you mean talking to people in their minds? Not gonna happen. I’ve never come across someone able to actually put their voice into someone else’s head.
But, if you mean establishing a psychic connection with someone so that you have sort of linked thoughts – sort of like a twin connection, where you guys get little “tuggings” when the other is in trouble, speak the same words at the same time, etc – then just spend a lot of time with them and make the effort to reach out psychically. A lot of times just thinking about the person almost all the time will establish the connection. If you change your mind later, you can sever the connection by cutting off contact with the person and doing some sort of meditation where you visualize the ties to the person and cut the ties; this usually takes anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks to completely sever.
You may realize now that the processes involved are a tad stalker-ish. Yeah. that’s the downside haha. So make sure you want it 😛
Since it is of a fictional venture, and a futile, you may use any method your feeble brain can conjure up. Practice that for the next 10000 years and you still will not be able to perform anything that even vaguely represents telepathy. Scientific method has proved it does not exist and there many organisations that are trying to prove it existence and give out cash rewards for it. Randi.org is one organisation that is trying to prove, not disprove its existence, but it cannot prove it no matter how much they try. Hell, they even offer a million bucks for whoever can prove it.

This happens to me unexpectedly, it happens usually when I see spirits, and at times with people, that their usually personal thoughts pop in my head telepathically. At first I thought it was something to do with expressions, but then I realized that most of the spirits I see don’t have any facial details to see, so I ascertain it was basically when they were thinking about me the same time I them. And that sensitive people can read auras or countenances, almost the same as reading thoughts. Hope this is helpful to you!
I am a Christian (free-thinking fundy) interested in connections between Christianity and other religions.
I have been thinking about the word "sacred" and how it...

One opinion: meditation that develops your inner sense, coherency, calm will help; http://www.freemeditations.com is one source.
The general examples given in “Autobiography of a Yogi,” Yogananda, http://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda are worthwhile.
“Ethical ESP,” Ann Ree Colton, and
“Man’s Psychic Life: Elements and Structures,” O. M. Aivanhov, also worthwhile.
