Do you know what remote viewing is? It's a psychic ability that allows you to see people, places and things that are not within range of your normal sight. That is, you can't see or hear what's going on by conventional means, but you can use your own natural psychic ability and learn how to see things without actually being there in person.

However, there's one distinction that needs to be made. Remote viewing is not the same as having an out of body experience. Having an out of body experience, also called 'astral travel,' occurs when you travel in spirit form to go and see an event or place.

When you practice remote viewing, you are practicing a form of psychic dowsing. You're using your psychic power to see a particular location, person, etc., within your mind's eye. That is, you are using a kind of ESP to locate and view what you're looking for.

Every person on this planet has latent psychic ability that he or she may not know is present. It may not have been developed in us when we were young. Most of us only use 10% of our brain's actual capacity, which means that 90% of our brainpower is untouched. In addition, it's untrained, so we don't know what to do with it even if we can access it.

Let's take a look at a few things remotely link can do for you. For example, as a parent, you always worry about your children. Imagine being able to 'check in' on them and simply know that they're okay even when you're not physically with them. Using remote viewing for this kind of benefit gives you peace of mind that simply has no price.

Remote viewing is different from other psychic abilities because anyone can learn how to become proficient in remote viewing. In fact, studies have shown that even so-called non-psychic people can easily use remote viewing once they've been taught to put themselves into a trancelike state sufficient enough to access it. And the results from this remote viewing were also very accurate.

Let's take a look at some steps you can take to try remote viewing for yourself.

*Sit in a comfortable chair where you're not going to be disturbed and close your eyes. Make sure it's quiet and that you have no distractions before you get started.

*Inhale deeply through your nose and relax. You may find it's easier to control your breathing if you press your tongue to the roof of your mouth very lightly. This will also help thwart any urge you might have to yawn while you're doing this.

*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.

*Try something simple to get you started. For example, you could see yourself in your mind's eye as though you were standing in front of yourself in your relaxed state and looking back toward this relaxed self. It can be hard at first to allow your mind to see yourself in this manner, but with patience, you can do so. When you do achieve success and see yourself in this angle as others also truly see you, it will be a very pleasant and wonderful surprise for you.

*Once you can see yourself from this kind of relatively simple remote viewing perspective, make it a little bit more challenging. Pick a location that you're very familiar with but that is nonetheless some distance away from you. For example, perhaps you can use a family member or friend's home as the location you want to see. As you train your 'remote viewing' on this location, take note of anything that may not be as it normally is when you've been there before. Perhaps there are books stacked on the coffee table or some scattered toys on the floor. Make note of these 'out of place' things that make this particular view unique from any others you have seen previously. As soon as you get a chance, call and ask your friend or family member to confirm what you saw with your remote viewing. Confirming that your view was accurate is very important, because it will give you greater confidence in your ability to do this type of remote viewing.

As you become more practiced, you can also try another type of remote viewing exercise. Instead of viewing places or people you want to see, try seeing if you can 'view' a friend who is doing a particular motion. Have a friend or family member sit in another room so that you can't see him or her, and then have them repeat a simple movement like hand waving or twirling hair. With your remote viewing skills, see if you can see what your friend or family member is doing and then compare notes to see how accurate you are.

One positive side effect to spending time practicing remote viewing is that you may find yourself much more adept at getting into a relaxed state as you do so. The relaxed state you put yourself into when you practice remote viewing is very much like the trancelike relaxation people are put into when they are put under hypnosis. Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is a state where you are very alert and aware of what's going on around you, but you are also very relaxed. This state of extreme relaxation and alertness at the same time makes it much easier to get in touch with your subconscious mind.

Your psychic abilities are more easily reached via the sub-conscious, so the more easily you're able to sink into your relaxed trance, the more powerful your remote viewing techniques will become.
