Remote viewing is the psychic ability that pertains to the ability to see places, people, and objects that are not within the range of the outer five senses. This means you wouldn’t be able to see or hear it by natural means, but your own innate psychic ability can be trained to perceive things without you needing to be there in person.

Unlike astral travel and some other psychic abilities, while remote viewing your spiritual and physical body will stay in the same place. You are able to see any place, person or thing you wish while your body, mind and spirit stay at home.

You can think of remote viewing as a sort of dowsing where your psychic abilities are used to find what you want to look for. Remote viewing involves using extra sensory perception to find and view what you’re looking for.

All of us possess psychic abilities which we have not yet developed. We use only about 10% of our brains; meaning that there’s a lot of untapped potential which we can do many things with if we can learn to use these undeveloped abilities.

There are many practical applications for remote viewing, such as making sure that your children are safe and sound when you’re away. Remote viewing can add to your security and give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that everything is OK.

What makes remote viewing different to other forms of psychic abilities is that anyone can learn how to do it. Studies on many non-psychic people have shown that once these people had been taught to enter into a sufficient trance-like state, they were able to engage in remote viewing with high levels of accuracy.

Here are some simple remote viewing techniques you can try on your own:

*Always practice your remote viewing in a quiet place where you’ll be free from distractions and where you can sit comfortably. Close your eyes and start relaxing your body before trying to remote view.

*Breathe deep, regular breaths through your nose. Hold your tongue against the roof of your mouth to get more control over your breaths and prevent yawning.

*In order to succeed in remote viewing, you need to believe in your abilities. You have to believe that you can and will see people, places and things which you cannot see with your eyes.

*Begin with a simple remote viewing target to show your mind that you are capable of achieving this kind of psychic seeking. Perhaps begin by viewing yourself from a place in front of you, as though you were looking back at your relaxed body as you sit there through a mirror. It can be a little difficult at first to allow your mind to view yourself from an opposite perspective, but be patient. When you do see yourself from the angle that others see you, you’ll be in for a wonderful surprise.

*Once you’re able to see yourself while remote viewing, you need to begin looking at places which are farther away. Start with a place which you are already familiar with, such as the house where you grew up. Best of all is to remote view a friend or relative’s home. Keep an eye out for details and when you’re finished remote viewing, call and compare notes; find out if the details you saw while remote viewing are really there. This exercise lets you assess your progress as a remote viewer.

You can then progress to more advanced exercises. Have a friend sit at their home or in another room in your home and ask them to perform a simple movement while you try to see what they’re doing through your remote viewing abilities. Ask your friend afterwards to see if you have been able to get an accurate picture; again, reinforcement is valuable when you’re trying to learn to remote view.

With practice and patience, your ability to remote view will steadily improve and it will become ever easier for you to achieve the trance state needed for remote viewing. Much like a hypnotic state, your body will be completely relaxed, but you will still be aware and your subconscious will be able to start working towards its potential.

It is in the subconscious that our psychic abilities are found; but with practice, remote viewing will be something you’ll be able to do at will.
