Remote viewing is the psychic ability that allows you to view people or places that you can't see with your regular five senses. This means you can't physically see or hear those things using physical senses, but you really can train your own latent psychic abilities to see those things without actually being there in person.

Remote viewing is not the same thing as an out-of body (OOB) experience. OOB, or astral traveling, is where your spirit or ethereal corporation leaves your body and travels to view a person or a place.

With remote viewing your spirit never leaves your body at all. You're simply using your own ESP to locate and view the things you want to view.

Every human being has some kind of psychic ability that may or may not be latent. Some people may indeed use psychic ability freely as adults, but others have not been able to fully access their psychic ability when younger. It's perhaps not surprising that we only use about 10% of our brains capacity, with the remaining 90% idle and unused, untrained and untapped instead of being used to its full potential.

Imagine being able to focus your mind and be reassured that your kids are okay when they're away from home. This kind of peace of mind is invaluable.

Remote viewing is different than other forms of psychic ability because literally anyone can learn how to become proficient in remote viewing. In fact, studies have shown that even so-called 'non-psychics' can do remote viewing if taught properly to enter into the right kind of trancelike state. In this state, they could do remote viewing with very accurate results.

Try these remote-viewing techniques for yourself.

*Find a comfortable chair in a quiet place and close your eyes. Make sure you're not distracted by anything like noises, television, bodily discomfort like having to go to the bathroom, and so on. You want to be completely free of distractions before you begin your remote viewing exercise.

*Regulate your breathing and try to breathe through your nose. If you feel the urge to yawn, try pressing your tongue gently against the roof of your mouth. This will suppress the urge to yawn and help control your breathing.

*You should allow yourself to sink deeper and deeper into your relaxation. As you go into a light trance, you need to have a strong conviction or belief that you really are able to see people or places that you've never encountered physically.

*Always start your exercise by viewing something you really can verify, such as looking back at yourself as though staring into a mirror. Besides, viewing yourself in the same perspective as others see you can give you a very nice surprise.

*Once you've got this first remote viewing exercise down, practice doing remote viewing that's a little bit more distant. Choose a distant but very familiar location you know very well, such as a friend or family member's home. Now, take a look around this location. Are there toys on the floor that weren't there the last time you were there? Are there books on the coffee table that weren't there the last time you were there? Choose something that's out of place or different from what you saw when you were physically there. As soon as you can, call your friend or family member and ask him or her to confirm what you saw. Being told you've had accurate results reinforces your belief in yourself that you can truly do remote viewing.

You can change these remote-viewing exercises once you practice enough so that you can include another person nearby you. This will give you more varied feedback and will also further attest to your accuracy. It will also give you results much more quickly. For example, instead of viewing people or places you want to see from a more remote location, have a friend sit in another room and repeat some kind of physical motion, like twirling hair, or waving a hand at you. Use remote viewing to try to see what your friend is doing and then have him or her give the results when you finish with this exercise.

When you've done your mind exercises a few times you'll notice that its suddenly much easier to get yourself into the trance-like state you need. This is very similar to the deepened level of relaxation people experience when undergoing hypnosis. You are still wide awake, but you're so relaxed you're able to reach into the sub-conscious levels of your mind.

If you are new to tapping into your psychic abilities, you can access them much more easily by your subconscious. The more you work on getting good at your remote viewing techniques, the better you'll get at them.
