Remote Viewing - How Even A Complete Novice Can Get Started

By Vicki Porter

If you're trying to perfect remote viewing, how do you know if you're succeeding or not? Remote viewing is the psychic ability to see places, people or objects with your mind's power instead of with your usual five senses.

Remote viewing is not the same as astral traveling. With astral traveling, your ethereal body is able to leave your physical body and travel incorporeally to be able to view something. Instead, your mind is doing all the work using the power of your sub-conscious mind.

Every person on Earth has the ability to learn remote viewing. How successful each attempt is depends highly on how well you're able to descend into a relaxed trance state that is very similar to the level of awareness during hypnosis.

It's long been established that we only use around 10% of our brain's capacity, but the other 90% remains dormant because it's been left untrained. If you'd been taught from childhood to speak four languages fluently, those neural pathways within your mind would accept this form of thinking as normal. The same applies with learning to count or to read words on a page or to add numbers together. These are skills your mind is taught while you're still very young and so they form part of your adult mind's power.

Imagine if you'd been taught to access the power of your sub-conscious mind as a child? Just because you can't do something right now doesn't mean you won't ever be able to do it. It simply means you haven't been taught yet and that you need to train your mind to unlock the ability that was always hidden there.

Before you start learning remote viewing, how well are you able to relax? Meditation is a good precursor to teaching your mind to reach the correct state of relaxation needed in order to access your subconscious mind. Self-hypnosis is also an excellent way to reach the same, if not deeper, trance state.

Once you've relaxed your entire body, remember to keep your mind alert and aware. It can be very tempting to fall asleep when you're in such a relaxed state, so part of correct remote viewing is learning how to keep your mind awake while your physical body goes to sleep.

Before you engage in remote viewing, how are you going to test the results you get? Set up a way to verify whether or not your remote viewing session was successful before you get started.

One good way to do this is to choose test views that you know are verifiable, easily. For example, you could try to view a friend's home while lying at home on your bed, and take note of anything you think is out of place. For example, are there drinking glasses on a table that's normally clear? Is there a book open face down, such that you could read the title?

These are small things, to be sure, but they can tell you clearly whether or not what you're seeing is real. Once you've come out of your relaxed state, call the owner of the house you're trying to see and verify what you've seen.

When you've practiced remote viewing, how to relax properly will become easier each time you do it. Soon, you'll find that you're able to relax easily and the technique itself will become much more fluid as well.
