Esoteric interpretation
Telepathy imagines minds relating without the separation imposed by speech, distance or ordinary senses. In the poster’s cosmic society, it helps make advanced beings and collective awareness intelligible: communication would arise through consciousness itself. It also offers an image of intimate connectedness. A strong feeling of understanding another person, however, is not by itself evidence that information passed through a paranormal channel.

Telepathy is claimed by Sivananda to result from control of prana → Prana
Sivananda’s Kundalini Yoga explicitly lists telepathy among supposed siddhis resulting from control of prana through pranayama. This is an attributed yogic teaching, not a demonstrated effect of breathing exercises.
