7.Some scientists will say it is impossible to read minds.They will also tell you that you can make educated guesses on what a person might be thinking or feeling.Perhaps there really is nothing mysterious about the power to read minds.Perhaps it is simply human sense based on observation and educated guesses after all,but that's really a useful ability to learn.Learn body language.How a person moves and holds their hands,and even what their eyes are doing are actually telling about what is going on inside their head.For example,pupils(瞳孔) tend to grow larger when you are interested in or excited about something.If you are talking to someone and making eye contact,finding their pupils are large and round,chances are that they are not feigning interest in the conversation.Someone biting their nails is probably nervous.Someone who folds their arms across their chest when they are not cold is probably trying to put a barrier between you and themselves.
Learn to mentally put yourself in another's place.Scientists have recently discovered that your brain has neurons(神经元) that become active when you watch someone do something the same as we did the action ourselves.So when you are able to open yourself to understanding how other people are feeling,you can figure out reasons and predict future actions,reactions,even thoughts.
Sometimes you can use Extra Sensory Perception(ESP)(超感觉力) to read someone's mind.This does not mean you will literally be able to read their mind like a book.Instead,you will receive impressions or feelings,which are difficult to explain.
To improve your ESP abilities,take up meditation(冥想).Because meditation helps enable you to purposely put your brain in a state of relaxed awareness,where you will be more successful in reading people and receiving impressions.
Practice and combine all of these steps.You will soon find yourself able to read people's minds.
