What is remote viewing? How do you know if you’re doing it right? Remote viewing is the ability to see people, places and things with your mind’s eye instead of with your 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.

How do you know whether or not you can learn remote viewing? Simply, because everyone can. How successful you are at it depends on whether you can relax into a trance state that is very similar to the awareness you experience when you’re hypnotized.

Experts have long stated that we only use about 10% of our minds’ capacity, but the other 90%, for most of us, is left untapped and untrained. As one illustration of this, think of learning a foreign language. Children who speak four languages from childhood do so fluently, with those neural pathways firmly established, such that they do so easily and without struggle. It’s the same with any ability; skills in basic math or reading are taught early so that those neural pathways are firmly established as soon as possible. They become part of your mind’s ability and power, and you think nothing of them.

Now, think for a minute. Remote viewing: how would it be if you’d been taught to do this from earliest childhood, just as you’ve learned how to speak, read or write? It would be easy, wouldn’t it? And you can still learn how to do it as an adult; you simply have to access your mind’s ability to do so.

Before you start to practice remote viewing, how will you get ready? Relaxation is key, and learning meditation is one great way to teach your mind to get into the state it needs to be in, in order to practice remote viewing. Self hypnosis, too, is another good way to ‘practice’ the relaxation and trance like state you’re going to have to be in to be able to do remote viewing.

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 get into a comfortable, relaxed state and prepare for remote viewing, how will you test your results? You should plan a way to verify whether your viewing was successful or not before you get started.

The easiest way to do this is to choose test views that you know are easily verifiable. This could be trying to view a friend’s home from the comfort of your bedroom. Look carefully and see if you notice anything out of place. You might see a coffee cup left on a bench or a newspaper left on a table.

These small things might not seem like much, but they can give you a clear indication of whether you’re seeing real places and events. Once you’ve awoken from your relaxed trance, call your friend and verify the objects you’ve seen.

Once you’ve practiced remote viewing, getting to that relaxed state will become easier every time you do it. Soon, you’ll find that you can get into a relaxed state very easily, and the technique itself will be much easier to practice and become more fluid.
