Fundamental Remote Viewing Practice

Doing the Impossible (An Article I First Published on EHow)

Remote viewing is simply a modern version of an old shamanic practice--in the old
days warriors and hunters and healers all needed to know things that are just
beyond the range of normal experience. Being open to those possibilities they would
pay attention to clues like unexplained feelings, mental imagery, and dreams--all
those things we've learned to ignore today. Remote viewing is a way of getting back
in touch with that invisible side of ordinary human awareness.

Prepare yourself by getting plenty of rest. Don't drink alcohol or take any
mind-bending drugs (that's not necessary and won't help). You'll need a quiet place
to do the viewing, and a place to relax (easy chair, sofa, etc.)

Select a target to view. A training exercise I've used successfully is to pick a place
on a map that I've never visited--somewhere within easy traveling distance so it will
be a nice day's outing--and use a spot on the map as a target. It's fun to do this
before you go on vacation to a new place; you get to see things you'll soon be doing
if it works well.

People started out by remote viewing map coordinates of longitude and latitude and
then checking out what was really there. The numbers turned out to be a hindrance
because it's too logical. This practice steps beyond logic, so anything that hints of a
logical system slows things up. Here's where the three dice come in.

Mentally state your intention to assign four numbers to your target. Three will be
physical locators and the fourth will be a location in time. You don't have to know an
exact date for your physical visit--a mental statement that's very general, like "What
will I see when I go to this location?" will do just fine. We are going to use three dice
to assign a string of random numbers to this goal.

Cast the dice four times and jot down the numbers from left to right, so you have four
groups of three digits. That's your time/space locator. Memorize it.

Sit back and relax. You need a position that's comfortable but will help you stay
awake and alert. Many old seers used a prone posture that was slanted upwards,
head higher than the feet and an angle of about eighteen degrees. Used to be a real
art. Propping yourself up with pillows on a bed or a couch works ok too.

Keep a paper and pencil handy in case you want to take notes on what you see.
Don't be afraid of forgetting, though, because the important things usually stick.

Close your eyes and begin repeating your targeting number string mentally. Don't try
to do anything, just reaffirm to yourself that the numbers represent the target. Keep
relaxing and chanting the numbers. Focus your mental vision on a place a few
inches beyond your eyelids, as though you're looking at a video screen there that's
blank.

Watch for images to appear. Usually they first show up as gray images, not color,
and they may even be surrounded by a "portal" as though you are looking through a
round window. They don't often last long, just flicker through your mind and then they
are gone. Some "experts" say that if you see color images that marks them as false
information, but I haven't found that to be true at all. Some of the most accurate
images I've received are in color and highly detailed.

Jot down some keywords of what you see. Many times the first impressions will be
geometric, the most basic shape of something physically at the target.

You can treat the entire thing as a game. It doesn't have to end with one session. If
you use the number string as a little sing song mantra and just keep chanting it
throughout your day when you have nothing better to do, reaffirming that you want to
see what is there, you should continue to get mental impressions. It often takes
several days of the silly chanting to get the best connection going.

Since many of us don't have a lot of time during the day to devote to such things,
you can do what many old shamans did and use this as a task for dreaming. Chant
the number string as you go to sleep, reaffirming your goal now and then. Record
any strange dreams you have that may hold clues about the target. Sometimes they
can be very literal--detailed "pre-plays" of things that you'll see and do.

It may help if I give an example of something I did some years ago. I was preparing
to go on vacation for a week of canoe camping on a lake I'd never visited before, and
I wanted to practice my "seeing" by checking the place out remotely, first. So I got a
map that wasn't too detailed but showed some basic features, like a dam that
formed some farmer's irrigation reservoir. I set things up like I mentioned and did a
viewing. I tried to imagine that I had just stepped out of my canoe at the mouth of the
little valley that led to the dam. I tried visualizing what I'd see as I walked up to it.

The first odd thing was that I saw my feet wearing flip flops, which I never wear. It
was a very brushy area, and I had to walk carefully because of dead branches with
spikes on them that were laying all around, and to get to the dam I had to thread my
way through a sapling thicket about a hundred yards deep. When I was almost there
I heard a crashing sound to my left, and I looked up to see three deer running across
the slope of the dam.

I broke off the viewing then because it seemed too easy and I was sure I was just
imagining all that, but I wrote it down anyway. Later on I had a dream about climbing
up a strange metal tower in an open field in the middle of the night, and sitting on a
platform at the top that was level with a long flat earthen slope. There wasn't any
water I could see.

Both things proved extremely accurate. I was in a hurry to get started on the trip
across the lake, months later when I began my vacation, and tossed a pair of flip
flops in the canoe to save time. My walk to the dam was just as I'd seen it, including
the three deer that ran across the slope in front of me. And I did get spooked at that
point and went back to the boat to get better shoes.

When I climbed the dam on my second try, I expected to see the big holding pond
the map showed, but the pond was dry and the field was just as I'd seen it in my
dream, with a tall metal tower you could climb with a ladder to service the intake of
the overflow pipe it held.

Don't be discouraged. Results are often not what you expect them to be, and you
find out much later they were accurate. Have fun with the process.

Don't get excited--strong emotions will break the contact with your target.

Don't try too hard--just look in the direction of what you mentally want to see, and
accept what comes.

Don't do these things if you have a weak heart. Now and then you'll stumble across
things that are very scary.

Don't believe everything you see. Some of it is just illusion, and you can pick up
false trails if you get too cocky. Test yourself on real targets--if you remote view
things on Mars you might see all kinds of things, but chances are you'll never know
if you're right. Illusions will build up and overwhelm anything accurate you do see.
