Talking heart-to-heart is a natural ability for animals and people. Individual birds in a flock change their flight path at the same time. You “think” of a friend the moment before your friend calls. Coincidence? No. It’s telepathy. The cosmic communication system. Free unlimited anywhere, anytime minutes—local or long distance. Forever!

So how can we skip the phone and use our telepathic skills to talk with each other? An Aboriginal tribe in Australia and a dog in Arizona have some intriguing answers for us.

Wisdom from Downunder

Aborigines who talk telepathically—independent of distance—indicate that many people lost this inherent talent when they began hiding how they really feel.

In the book Mutant Message from Downunder, we find clues on how to reclaim this natural communication skill. Marlo Morgan, the author, describes what she learned about talking soul-to-soul from an Aboriginal tribe who call themselves The Real People:

“Real People can use telepathy because above all they never tell a lie, not a small fabrication, not a partial truth, nor any gross unreal statement. No lies at all, so they have nothing to hide. Real People are a group of people who are not afraid to have their minds open to receive and are willing to give one another information. … Telepathy is the way humans were designed to communicate. Different languages and various written alphabets are eliminated as obstacles when people use heart-to-heart talk.”

Ellie the dog agrees with The Real People. This furry telepathic expert proved to me that talking with an open heart bridges any language barrier—even the apparent gap between animals and people.

The Dog from Hell

“The dog from hell!” That’s what I called Ellie. Each time I saw Ellie and her owner on my frequent walks in the desert, the nightmare would unfold. The devil dog spots me. She barks. As I get closer, she gets meaner. A threatening snarl emerges. Writhing lips expose glistening white teeth. Restrained by her owner with a thick leather leash, the demonic canine lunges for me time and again. This 70-pound terror scares the bejesus out of me on every occasion we cross paths!

Why does Ellie act like she wants to tear me apart? After a year of hostile encounters, I decide to talk with Ellie and find out why she’s behaving the way she is.

Does Telepathy Really Work?

How can I communicate with this savage beast? Surely not face-to-face. It’s too dangerous!

Can I reach Ellie telepathically, soul-to-soul? I decide to experiment. After all, what have I got to lose?

Tell the Truth

While sitting quietly, I focus on talking to Ellie’s soul—not to the monster personality she displays. Then I get in touch with what my heart wants to express. “Tell her the truth,” my soul whispers. “Ellie,” I speak to her being, “I’m afraid of you.” Next, I ask her why she acts so aggressively towards me and listen for a reply.

“I’m scared of you, too,” she replies honestly. “When I see you walking, your heart’s closed. I can’t tell what you’re thinking or feeling. So I don’t know what you’re going to do. I can’t trust you. I keep you away. I’m protecting myself.”

Whew, what a wake up call! Ellie’s right. I love walking alone in nature. When someone enters “my territory,” I get upset. I didn’t realize until now that instead of releasing the irritation, I hold onto the anger. And on top of that, I try to hide the upset from myself and others. I pretend to be happy and nice.

In order to hide my true feelings from myself, I have to shut my heart. When a person’s heart is closed, so is their intuition. A person with a closed heart is no longer sensitive and caring to the people or creatures around them.

Naturally, Ellie’s inner alarm goes off, “Warning! Warning! Closed heart approaching. Don’t trust this person!” Ellie isn’t fooled by the superficial smile I flash at her and her owner. No wonder she wants to keep me away!

Still in a meditative state, I feel how sweet Ellie really is. She’s not the demon dog she appears to be. With a sincere desire to have a peaceful relationship with Ellie, I tell her, “The next time I see you, I’ll open my heart so you can feel who I really am.” The cooperative pooch agrees that when I allow myself to be vulnerable, she’ll stop acting hostile towards me.

My Heart Opens

I see Ellie the morning after our telepathic talk. When I spot her in the distance, my terror begins to churn. After all, “the dog from hell” has tried to attack me dozens of times—in fact, every time I’ve seen her over the past 12 months.

Then I remember our pact: Ellie will stop being aggressive when I open my heart. In this moment, I decide to shift my attitude. Silently I welcome Ellie and her owner. Energetically I transmit, “I’m open. Vulnerable. My defenses are down. Feel who I am.” The message I’m sending is the same as when a dog rolls onto its back, exposing its tender throat and belly. My heart broadcasts the signal, “Let’s be friends.”

Success! Ellie’s affectionate response proves that the telepathic experiment worked. For the first time in a year, Ellie doesn’t bark. Instead, she wags her tail. She does lunge for me—not to attack—but to come over for a friendly pat. She kisses my outstretched hand!

The past year of dreaded encounters is over in a flash (of heart). The “four-pawed demon” vanishes. So does the “closed-hearted, untrustworthy stranger.”

Sharpen Your Telepathic Skills

If you’re ready to start using your telepathic ability, why not experiment with someone you’re already having a conflict with? What have you got to lose?

You can begin by talking to the person from your open heart to theirs. Silently tell them the truth about how you feel. Ask them why they act the way they do around you. Listen. Take action on what feels intuitively right for you to do. Then watch the power of the cosmic communication system—talking heart-to-heart—bring you more peace and happiness!

It’s that time of the year again when people scurry to the malls and grab the first available merchandise on the shelf that could adequately pass for a gift. Yes, gift-giving is fun, but sometimes it becomes obligatory. Fortunately, the adage “It’s the thought that counts”, still rings true. So, the next time you rummage for the perfect holiday gift, think hard.

Or that may not even be necessary anymore since listed below are just some of the neat gifts exclusive to Australia which you could give your loved ones.

Boomerangs. Much better if they are the returning kind, since, of course, that’s what they are made for. Boomerangs in Australia are personalized and engraved by authentic aboriginal artists, and each artwork is a masterpiece. Note that boomerangs are still a weapon though, so do your throwing only in a wide open area where there are no other people around. To throw a boomerang: simply hold in right hand almost vertically with arms pointing forward. Grip close to end with its rounded side facing you, then throw at approximately 30 degrees to wind direction, with a flicking, wrist-twist motion.

Animal plush toys. Koala, Platypus, Kangaroos, Wombats, Kookaburras, Emus, and lots of other animals only the Land Down Under has under its wings. Surely, everyone has a home in their heart for a stray adorable koala stuffed toy, or a charmingly behaved kangaroo doll.

Digeridoos and Clapsticks. The didgeridoo is a musical instrument of the Aboriginal peoples, consisting of a long hollow branch or stick that makes a deep drone when blown. Clap sticks, meanwhile, accompany didgeridoos and provide the ryhthm to make the most brilliant earthen music. Both digeridoos and clapsticks are hand-painted and burnt by Aboriginal Artists, and they sound full and rich for any occasion.

Merino wool. Knitted into most gorgeous of clothings including hand-knitted sweaters and jackets, as well as beautiful soft blankets and bedding. Australia’s 101 million merino sheep yields the longest, not to mention luscious wool fibres in the world. Always look for the Pure New Wool label to guarantee quality.

Australian flowers. The warm Australian climate breeds an almost endless, lovely and exciting array of flowers: kangaroo paw, eucalyptus gumnut, banksia, peppercorn, leucosperum, and wattle, just to name a few. Freshly delivered to your loved one’s doorsteps, a uniquely Australian bouquet of flowers sends all your warmest holiday greetings where no words can do.

For best results, deliver your gifts personally. After all, it’s the thought that may count, but your presence definitely speaks louder.

Come to the heart of the Tropical North – Cairns. Focusing on the tourism industry especially when it comes to the language of the world renowned Great Barrier Reef. Another remarkable tourist spot of Australia, with no doubt, Cairns generate increasing number of visitors despite the recent recession. Consider Cairns before jumping to the Great Barrier Reef.

Getting to Cairns would entail 2 hours by plane from Brisbane and 21hours by a car. You can also take a long journey from Sydney for 31 hours without stopping.     

The Central Cairns is relatively small, and do not offer a beach spot, but is nonetheless a popular tourist destination while it has built an artificial lagoon open for everyone. With accommodation facilities that offer from good all budget class to high end luxuries, Cairns does have a sense of fashion and style of its own. The center is compact that can be done by foot, refresh your travel and leisure with galleries and museums around in few walks or a quick ride. One of its famous is the Tjapukai Aboriginal Culture Park showcasing Aboriginal arts and culture, while its not the only one, treat yourself to a few others: Cairns Museum, Cairns Regional Gallery, and the Tanks Art Centre.

There are tours available in several areas of the business district, or take the usual way of discovering attractions is through campervans. This should save you from accommodation expenses especially during the peak season. Pick the right Campervan in Cairns for your trip.

To enjoy your vacation in Cairns don’t miss visiting its top destinations, aside from Cairns take time to pleasure the The Daintree Rainforest, Cairns Skyrail, and the Kuranda.

Australia is a huge country, almost as large as the contiguous United States, and one of the most important tips for any traveler would be to give themselves enough time to really see the country. Most international visitors fly into Sydney, the country’s largest city, but the rest of this vast country, which also happens to be a continent, is well worth visiting too.

One of the biggest challenges is negotiating the huge distances; the distance from Perth on the west coast to Brisbane on the east coast is almost 2500 miles. The easiest way to travel is to fly. QANTAS serves the major cities as well as smaller places with intriguing names, Wollongong, Lord Howe Island and Doomadgee.

If you plan to see as much of the country as possible, consider buying one of the many air passes available which allow you to save money by taking a certain number of flights within a specific time period. The cost depends on the itinerary. A ticket from Perth to Cairns to Alice Springs and Melbourne might cost around $1200. You generally need to purchase these tickets outside Australia, and often in conjunction with your plane ticket to and from Australia.

If you have the time, driving is an excellent way to see the country, and to appreciate the sheer size. Car rental is easy and convenient, you will need a valid driver’s license to rent a car and you need to have it with you while driving. Many travelers even find it more economical to purchase a car and then sell it before returning home. Australian drivers are polite, and won’t tolerate drunk-driving, driving without a seat belt or talking on a cell phone while driving.

Roads are generally good in Australia, although some roads in the Outback are unpaved (or unsealed, as they are known) and can only be driven safely in a four wheel drive vehicle. If you are driving in the more remote parts of Australia, be alert for animals and “road trains”, huge tractor-trailers up to fifty yards long. Never venture into the Outback without extra water and fuel, spare tires, a rope and perhaps a satellite phone. And don’t forget, they drive on the left.

There is also a surprisingly good rail and bus network in Australia, there are several long distance bus companies, although Greyhound Pioneer Australia covers the entire country. Also, if you have the time, the train journey from Perth to Sydney is considered one of the world’s most spectacular; it also boasts one of the world’s longest straight stretches of railroad track.

If you don’t want to fly or drive, consider an escorted tour. These can vary greatly in the quality of accommodation, the length of the trip and exactly what you will see. Most tours take in the popular destinations, Sydney and the surrounding Blue Mountains, the Gold Coast, Uluru, (Ayers Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef. Darwin makes a good base for exploring the tropical north of the country and Alice Springs is convenient for exploring the Outback.

Many people visit Australia to experience native Aborigine culture. If you plan to travel on Aboriginal land, other than on a designated road, you will first need to obtain a permit from the Land Council in that state. There are plenty of places throughout the country to see Aborigines and purchase their art and crafts, but you are also expected to show respect for their sacred sights.

The unit of currency in Australia is the dollar; divided into 100 cents. At the time of this writing, Australia is affordable to American and European visitors, due to the rather favorable exchange rate. ATMs can be found in all the larger towns and the major tourist areas, although they are often hard to find in the Outback.

Credit cards, particularly Visa and MasterCard, are widely accepted. Tipping is not as common as in the US, although it’s appreciated. An inexpensive hotel room might cost somewhere between $50 and $80; a more luxurious hotel room may cost in the range of $260 to $300. Hostels and campgrounds are also widely available, reasonably priced and popular with families and backpackers.

The internet has meant that trip planning and keeping in touch has become easier. Australia is no exception. Internet access is widely available, even in the remotest Outback settlements. Australians use 240 volts AC, so you will need to take an adaptor for electrical appliances.

One of the easiest aspects about traveling through Australia is that the language is familiar. Although, you may come across such strange things as thongies, billabongs, sheilas and, as Australians are well known for their hospitality, possibly an invitation to a shrimp on the barbie.
