Have you heard of remote viewing? How do you know whether or not you can do it — and how do you know whether or not you\’re doing it properly if you think you are? With remote viewing, you can see places, objects or people with your mind\’s eye instead of through 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.

Can you develop the power yourself and actually learn remote viewing? Absolutely; every person on the planet can do so. Just how successful you are at it depends on how well do you can relax and go into a trance like state, something very similar to what you feel when you are hypnotized.

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.

In addition to learning relaxation, though, you are also going to have to learn how to remain alert. It\’s very easy, of course, to fall asleep when you are that relaxed, but don\’t. Make sure you are well rested and calm, and let your mind stay alert as you fully relax physically.

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.

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.

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.
