There are a few common reasons why someone becomes telepathic. For example, there are those who are simply
born with a sense of knowing. These people talk about seeing spirits. But they tend to suppress their abilities as

exploring their gift even further.
Also, there are times when a near-death experience or serious accident can also open someone up and cause a
telepathic awakening. And in some cases, hypnosis or healing sessions can help a sixth sense to awaken. Such
sessions help with getting energy flowing and causing a shift in awareness and consciousness.
