Remote Viewing – Seeing From Afar

One of the many different forms of psychic ability is that of remote viewing (RV). Simply put, this ability allows us to see things or events that exist across time and space. In some ways, it is like watching a television, or listening to a radio thousands of miles away.

But how exactly does it work? The truth is, no one knows for sure. Much like dreams, RV is a way for us to cross the normal boundaries of perception and expand ourselves psychically.

Unlike its cousins, such as out-of-body experiences (OBE), dream walking, or deep hypnosis, RV is done while fully awake and conscious. Some say it is similar to astral projection. The phenomenon has been around since ancient Greece, and in more modern times various military groups and the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have used it strategically, such as seen in the popular film, The Men Who Stare at Goats.

Does this mean it is a difficult skill the average person cannot master? No. As with any psychic ability, RV can be practiced and honed over time.

The best way to start is by clearing the mind through meditation. For the best results, it is best to start with a “clean slate.” Think of a blank chalkboard, for instance, or an empty movie screen. Once you have accomplished this, you can begin.

It has been said that the best “targets” for RV are those which the viewer knows little to nothing about. Once a target or goal has been selected, the process of “filling in the blanks” begins. At first, your mind may try to imagine things, so focus on the images and colors which persist the most. Like a Polaroid photo, after a while, you will see details coming in sharper.

Don’t be frustrated if you’re not getting much at first. When starting out, you may also wish to work with a partner or spotter – preferably with someone who is more experienced in RV. This partner can offer suggestions, help manage targets, and bring you back to full consciousness if needed.

“Targets” for beginners may be words or phrases written on pieces of paper, then sealed in an envelope held by the partner. At the end of the session, both the viewer and the spotter may wish to compare notes on the level of success.

Although RV is a form of clairvoyance or extra-sensory perception (ESP), it should not necessarily be taken as a form of divination, or predicting the future. We may ask, for example, “Why can’t I just see what the lottery numbers will be for tomorrow night?” As with many psychic gifts, this isn’t exactly how it works. We receive images, pieces of information, an overall impression, instead of concrete, hard details.

There may be exceptions to this, such as a psychic being able to remotely view the location of a missing child. RV is a gift given to us by the universe. It is our responsibility to use it wisely, and for good.

When you begin to practice remote viewing, remember that there is no “right” or “wrong” answer. Journal when you engage in sessions; you will start to see patterns. Maybe you’ll even find a missing item or connect with your soulmate!
