Examples Of Extra Sensory Perception

For example, a person may hear a sound but experience it as colour, i.e. they will “hear” the colour red.

The skill I am going to discuss is self- monitoring. According to Interplay, The Process of Interpersonal Communication, self monitoring is best defined as, “The process of paying close attention to one’s own behavior and using these observations to shape the way one behaves” (24). This definition means that when you have a conversation with someone you listen closely to what they are saying, but you also pay attention to yourself in order for you to modify your behavior accordingly. By being aware of the way I communicate towards people both, verbally, and non-verbally gives me an effective way to deliver an understanding message.

To know anything about the external world on the basis or your sensory experiences, you have to know that you are not dreaming.

The average human is born with the five common senses: touch, hear, smell, sight, and taste, but there are a few individuals who are born with a supernatural sense. One of the rarest supernatural senses that a human may be born or diagnosed with is a psychic ability. Psychic is defined as a supernatural or magical power that is viewed as extraordinary. Television broadcasters, scientists, and other skeptic individuals will interview the people who possess these psychic abilities. The public questions these individuals’ abilities for true or false answers; therefore, they can provide evidence such as an experience or encounter. Psychic abilities take on many forms such as telepathy, synesthesia, and telekinesis.

Carol Dweck said, “People may start with different attitudes and different aptitudes, but it is clear that experience, training, and personal effort take them the rest of the way.” Therefore, that's saying that if your not focus on what you need to do, you’re not going anywhere in your life. Robert Sternberg said,”The present-day guru of intelligence writes that the major factor in whether people achieve expertise is not some fixed prior ability, but purposeful engagement lots of practice or as his forerunner, Binet, recognized, it’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” However, if you build your confidence and set your mind on something you will

be out of comfort zone. In order to get to the point of reflection and how we can re-programme our

Throughout the course of history,there have been many psychic occurrences. Some people talk about having psychic powers or psychic abilities, such as having a sixth sense. A sixth sense is a sense that is beyond the five physical senses – touching, seeing, smelling, hearing and tasting. The five senses are so common, most people do not even notice they are using them. A sixth sense is often referred to as a metaphysical ability, so in its most essential form, psychic power is knowing or seeing the future before it happens. Although science has proven billions of facts, and has not definitively proven its existence, that does not mean that it is not existent. There are many different types of psychic abilities. Some abilities that have been reported in the past are Clairaudience, Telekinesis, Mediums,and Psychic Surgeons. While science has been negating psychic abilities throughout history, there have been several reported unexplainable events of these psychic powers.

Improve on listening skills, by increasing my patience; which I feel is achievable through meditation.

Individuals learn in different ways, whether it be verbal, auditory, kinaesthetic, visual or logical (Brady, 2013). A range of methods incorporating each learning style needs to be considered.

I think I have the following strength (1) when it comes to my audio-visual skills:

I also liked learning about the auditory challenge. In the test there was a video of a woman making a sound. I watched the woman’s mouth move and it did not match up with the sound I was hearing, therefore this created an auditory illusion. One way I found to decipher sound and sight was to close my eyes and only listen. That approach worked and I learned why sometimes what I hear and see do not make sense. (Senses Challenge, BBC)

     With respect to my stronger skills, there are still underdeveloped areas of learning which I would like to improve on. Reading, for example, is my biggest struggle. I have a significant amount of trouble remembering and comprehending what I read. This has ultimately caused my lack of interest in this type of learning. I also struggle with lecture style environments, which is again due to my deficient ability to retain information in this type of setting.

- Quiet environment - if you are a beginner, meditation will be easier if you are in a quiet place, where no one and nothing will disturb, including off the TV, radio and mobile phone. As you become more adept at meditation, you can do that anywhere, especially in very stressful situations, where you meditation most used, for example, in a traffic jam, at a stressful business meeting or in a long line at the

Hatchinson and Waters (1987) asserted that “ESP should properly be seen not as any particular language product but as an approach to language teaching which is directed by specific and apparent reasons for learning” (p. 19). In addition, “it is an approach to language learning which is based on learner need. The foundation of all ESP is a simple question: Why does this leaner need to learn a foreign language?” (Hatchinson & Waters, 1987, p. 19).
