Reconnecting with Intuition: What The Telepathy Tapes Reveals About Energetic Communication

Every time creator and host Ky Dickens of The Telepathy Tapes podcast reacts with surprise when a guest talks about communicating with or receiving information from a benevolent, all-knowing field of consciousness, I reflexively yell out, “It isn’t rare! It’s natural!”

Of course my frustration isn’t with Ky. The reason I feel like pulling my hair out when she exclaims, “Wow!” is because communicating with the seen (people, plants, animals) and unseen (spirits and other nonphysical beings) worlds, as well as that great mysterious field of consciousness often referred to as God or Source, isn’t surprising. It isn’t new and it certainly isn’t something only certain people can do. In fact, it’s the field my clients and I work in together during Depth Hypnosis sessions. 

The Nervous System Supports Intuition

Many animals, including us, have the innate ability to sense energy. Energetic communication was the first language we engaged in as infants. By “energetic communication,” I mean the ability to sense or intuit information without words, sign language, or body language. 

The nervous system, constantly scanning for safety and danger, plays a vital role in energetic communication. The same nervous system that helps keep us safe also gives us the sensitivity to notice subtle energy.

Like a baby scanning the person tending to them for signs of danger or connection, our nervous systems are always “reading the room,” or feeling the energy of a person or place to make sure we’re safe. It happens quietly and instinctively. The ability to sense subtle energies is part of our body’s built-in security system and we’re doing it all the time. 

Some people will read this and think, “Okay, so then why aren’t we all reading each other’s minds and communicating with dogs and trees?” To which my response is, “Many people are, but maybe not like you think.” 

You’ve probably experienced energetic communication more times than you realize. 

Have you ever thought about a loved one right before they called or texted? Perhaps you’ve walked into a room and knew something was off, only to find out there was some sort of disagreement going on before you arrived.

Some people are simply more sensitive to the emotional tone of people, places, and situations than others. If that’s you, the idea of communicating with visible and invisible energies may give you a sense of comfort. But without context or support, that sensitivity can feel overwhelming.

For those who are not currently experiencing energetic connection or communication with subtle energies, it does not mean you are unable to do so. It just means you may need to slow down and get quiet more often so you can begin to hear that quiet knowing inside you. When you do this, self-doubt softens and intuition grows, allowing you to connect and communicate energetically with greater ease and confidence.

Tending to our nervous system—especially if we’ve experienced trauma—is an important part of being able to hear and trust intuitive communication clearly.  Intuition Is Not a Superpower

What energetic communication is not about is being special. 

Yes, some highly sensitive people will find it easier to communicate energetically than others. For instance, some nonspeaking autistic individuals, unable to depend on verbal communication, may find communicating energetically easier and preferred. Many spiritual traditions, shamans, psychic mediums, and people who have had near-death experiences describe strong experiences of energetic communication as well.

But you don’t need superpowers to communicate energetically any more than you need to be a concert pianist to enjoy playing the piano. Learning to harness your unique ability to communicate energetically allows you to build self-trust and strengthen your relationship to your own intuition. Reconnecting with that calm, knowing part of yourself creates a deeper sense of connection—to yourself, to others, and to life itself. Why Intuition Feels Harder Now

It’s important to mention that in these busy, highly distracted times, it isn’t as easy as it once was to communicate energetically. Not because the signal is any less potent, but because we now receive endless streams of information from outside sources that make it difficult to hear the quiet, persistent signal of intuition within us. 

Add to that our broken connection to the land and lost ancestral practices for communicating with subtle energies, and it’s not surprising that this innate form of communication feels out of reach for so many of us. As a species, we have de-centered this quieter way of knowing and put our full attention and resources toward gaining knowledge through academia, science, and technology. While these are invaluable sources for obtaining information that we are better off for having, they are not the only way. All Ways of Knowing Now is the time to incorporate all ways of knowing, including energetic communication. It is my sincere belief that by reinstating this innate form of communication as a viable way of obtaining information, we will not only enhance the fields of academia, science, and technology, but also mend the broken relationship with our own intuition, an inner division that continues to negatively impact us all and our planet.  

Because we are both human and spirit—rooted in this earth while connected to something greater—we cannot truly rest until the two are in balance. Intertwining the innate technology of energetic communication with the modern scientific technologies of today is our greatest chance at bringing peace and balance to ourselves and the world. Reconnecting With Yourself Part of why The Telepathy Tapes resonates with so many people is because it reminds us of something we already know. If this way of seeing the world resonates with you—if you’ve always felt there was more happening beneath the surface, more communication than words alone can explain—you are not imagining it, and you are not alone. 

It isn’t rare. It’s natural.

The ability to connect with your intuition, your inner knowing, and the subtle energies around you is not reserved for a gifted few. It’s something we are all capable of reconnecting with, especially when we slow down enough to listen.

As a Depth Hypnosis Practitioner, I help people rebuild that trust in themselves. Together, we create space to quiet the noise, regulate the nervous system, and strengthen your relationship with your own inner guidance.

If you’re feeling called to explore that connection more deeply, I’d love to work with you. You can learn more about my work or reach out through my website.
