Does Long Hair Improve Psychic Capabilities?
Indigenous cultures have often connected long hair to psychic capabilities or improved intuition. Allegedly, the infamous Choctaw and Navajo Native American scouts of the Vietnam War, known as the “Code Talkers,” attributed their extra sensory capabilities to their long hair. According to these recruits, who were forced to cut their hair, their intuition dimmed with short hair, rendering them less effective as trackers.
Long Hair and Improved Intuition: Myth or Fact?
Western science is still catching up to Eastern and mystical knowledge. Currently, Western science considers hair to be dead. However, knowledge of the subtle body is growing. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that hair picks up on and transfers subtle information.
In biblical mythology, Samson, also known as the “Strong Man,” was forbidden to cut his hair; his long hair was considered a testament of his dedication to God. In the stories of Samson, his strength is connected to his hair length.
Is Hair Alive?
The short answer, according to modern science, is “no.”  Hair is dead by the time it is long enough to poke out through the skin. Yet, according to a study published at the University of Illinois, Chicago, “the hair cells of the inner ear have a previously unknown “root” extension that may allow them to communicate with nerve cells and the brain to regulate sensitivity to sound vibrations and head position, researchers have discovered.” Perhaps our medical technologies are unable to identify the “root” of other types of hair follicles at this time.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, “your hair begins growing from a root in the bottom of the follicle. The root is made up of cells of protein. Blood from the blood vessels in your scalp feeds the root, which creates more cells and makes the hair grow.” Quantum physics unveils the connectivity of all things, from our cells to the outside world: why would the hair-brain-heart connection be any different?
Sensory Capabilities: Whiskers Versus Hair
Hair serves different evolutionary purposes: whiskers, ground fur and guard fur are meant to 1) pick up environmental information, 2) keep animals warm, and 3) protect against the elements, respectively. While all made of keratin, whiskers have measurable innervation, meaning they send important information to the nervous system and brain (i.e., large object to the left!). Common knowledge considers human hair incapable of sending information even though it is also keratin, albeit much thinner.
Intelligent Hair: A Social Experiment
Consider for a moment this social experiment: stand behind someone who is unaware of your presence and place your hand close to their head of hair, moving closer and closer to their hair until you barely touch it (obviously, try this on someone you know). When do they become aware of your presence?
Often, the subject of this experience will acknowledge your presence (hopefully without too much surprise) either just before you touch their hair or as you touch their hair.
You may also try growing your hair yourself. Let us know if you feel more “in tune” in six months.
Why Does Hair “Stand on End”?
Everyday Health states that, “goose bumps are the result of a reflex that makes the muscles attached to the base of each hair follicle contract.” This reflex is triggered by adrenaline. Also known as “piloerection”, this evolutionary response in animals provides warmth (personal insulation via a layer of air) and protection (think of a Porcupine).
How to Take Care of Your Hair Antennae
Yogi Bhajan famously taught students to repair split ends with almond oil at night to repair and maintain hair antennae.

What Is Telepathy? Learn How to Develop This Psychic Ability
Telepathy is the ability to transmit thoughts, emotions, or mental images between two or more people without using physical means. Although historically it has been associated with science fiction, it is a skill that is part of human psychic potential. In this article, we explore what telepathy is, how it works between people, and what is needed to begin developing it consciously.

What Is Telepathy?
Telepathy is defined as direct mental communication between individuals, without the intervention of conventional senses. It is a type of extrasensory perception that manifests as the immediate transfer of thoughts, emotions, or information, beyond any verbal or bodily language.
This ability has been recognized and cultivated in spiritual traditions around the world, from indigenous cultures to Eastern philosophical systems. For these traditions, the mind is not limited to the body but acts as a frequency that connects with other minds when they align in resonance. Telepathy is not a supernatural phenomenon but a natural function of the human being that can be developed with practice and awareness.
In modern contexts, telepathy has been the subject of studies within parapsychology. Although conventional science does not yet provide a conclusive explanation, controlled experiments have shown that nonverbal information transfer does occur, especially when there is a strong emotional or energetic connection between participants.
How Does Telepathy Work Between People?
Telepathy operates through a shared mental field, which is not limited by space or time. People most prone to telepathic experiences are often emotionally connected, such as close family members, couples, or intimate friends. In these bonds, thoughts and feelings flow more easily due to emotional and energetic attunement.
This type of communication occurs when two minds enter into resonance, that is, when they vibrate at a similar frequency. It is not necessary for both people to be aware of the process; it is enough that there is a natural openness or a clear intention to connect mentally. The quality of the bond, more than physical distance, is what determines the intensity of the exchange.
The key for telepathy to occur is mental state. Situations of calm, meditation, or deep relaxation facilitate telepathic reception. When the mind quiets and attention turns inward, it becomes more receptive to information coming from other planes of perception, including the mental emissions of other people.
Telepathy in Love: Connection Beyond Words
When there is a deep emotional bond, it is possible that the mental connection between two people is activated spontaneously. In romantic relationships, this telepathic communication manifests as silent understanding, constant emotional synchronicity, or an intense feeling of knowing what the other person feels or thinks, even at a distance. It is an experience that transcends language and is lived as a shared inner presence.
This type of connection often intensifies in moments of emotional urgency, danger, or physical separation. Many people report having felt sudden anguish or an emotion precisely when their partner was going through a difficult situation, even though they had no way of knowing it. The explanation does not lie in coincidence but in the energetic resonance between two deeply connected minds.
Loving telepathy is strengthened through intimacy, empathy, and time shared together. It does not require complex rituals or extraordinary states of consciousness, but rather conscious attention to the other person and genuine emotional openness. When both people are in tune, information flows effortlessly, creating an invisible network that sustains the bond beyond words.
Ways of Receiving Telepathic Information
Telepathic information is not always perceived in the same way. Each person has perception channels that are more active than others, and the information may arrive through different pathways depending on context, level of sensitivity, or type of connection with the other mind.
- Mental images: Information comes in the form of scenes, symbols, or internal visual figures. They often appear suddenly and are accompanied by a sense of certainty.
- Spontaneous thoughts: They arise as clear ideas that do not come from logical reasoning. They are perceived as mental messages from outside that break into one’s own mind.
- Telepathic dreams: During sleep, especially in deep phases, it is common to receive messages from others. These dreams are usually vivid and easy to remember upon waking.
- Physical or emotional sensations: Sometimes the body acts as a receiver and manifests discomfort, joy, or emotional pressure corresponding to another person’s state. These sensations appear without any apparent cause.
- Internal words or phrases: Some people mentally hear specific words or short phrases that convey direct information. It is a form of telepathy that is clear and internally verbalized.
Extraterrestrial Communication Through Telepathy
Telepathy is not limited to the human realm. Contactees, ex-military personnel involved in classified programs, and numerous UFO researchers claim that extraterrestrial beings use telepathy as their main means of communication. Unlike articulated language, mental transfer allows immediate, direct, and universal understanding without misunderstandings or cultural barriers.
Those who have had close encounters describe how messages are received with absolute clarity, often accompanied by mental images and emotional sensations that reinforce the content. This type of contact does not occur randomly but when there is an inner disposition and an elevated state of consciousness on the part of the human being. For this reason, many of these encounters take place in meditative states, lucid dreams, or moments of deep silence.
In the series Cosmic Disclosure, available on Gaia, these experiences are explored in depth. In the episode “E.T. Telepathy” researcher Clifford Stone recounts his encounters with beings from other worlds and how he managed to establish telepathic communication with them. The series offers a direct look at this phenomenon through the testimonies of those who have experienced these contacts in a real and conscious way.
Can Everyone Experience Telepathy?
In general, all human beings have the ability to experience telepathy. It is not an exclusive gift, but a natural skill that is part of the latent psychic potential within human consciousness. Like any other faculty, it requires attention, practice, and willingness to be developed.
Although some people seem to have a more refined sensitivity from an early age, this does not imply a limitation for those who have not had telepathic experiences before. Constant practice and the cultivation of inner perception make it possible to activate this ability at any stage of life. The key is learning to recognize the subtle signs that indicate a mental connection with another person.
Telepathy does not always manifest in spectacular ways. It often appears as a sudden certainty, a thought that coincides with another’s, or a clear sense of knowing something the other has not yet said. Learning to trust these impressions and to distinguish genuine perception from mental noise is a fundamental part of the process.
How to Consciously Develop Telepathy
To develop telepathy consciously means training the mind to become more receptive, clear, and focused. It is not enough to simply wish for it: it is necessary to cultivate inner attention and create the right conditions for this ability to manifest.
- Daily meditation: Quieting the mind is essential to pick up subtle mental signals. A consistent practice improves receptivity and focus.
- Shared visualization: Practice with another person by mentally imagining an image or word and asking them to receive it. This trains both telepathic sending and receiving.
- Inner listening: Pay attention to thoughts that seem to have no personal origin. Many times, they are real perceptions coming from others.
- Conscious emotional bond: Strengthen your ties with close people through empathy and presence. Deep emotional connections favor spontaneous telepathy.
- Experience journal: Keep a diary of mental coincidences, shared dreams, or synchronized thoughts. This helps you identify patterns and validate progress.
