There are many guides” to remote Viewing…Many are dis­ap­point­ing and frankly mis­lead­ing if you don’t know any­thing about remote view­ing. Below are some prac­ti­cal point­ers to get you on the right track…

How To Exper­i­ment with Remote Viewing

From Stephen Wag­ner, Your Guide to Para­nor­mal Phe­nom­ena.

Remote view­ing is the con­trolled use of ESP (extrasen­sory per­cep­tion) through a spe­cific method. Using a set of pro­to­cols (tech­ni­cal rules), the remote viewer can per­ceive a tar­get — a per­son, object or event — that is located dis­tantly in time and space. What makes remote view­ing dif­fer­ent than ESP is that, because it uses spe­cific tech­niques, it can be learned by vir­tu­ally any­one. Here’s how you can exper­i­ment with remote viewing.

Dif­fi­culty: Hard Time Required: Up to 6 hours

Here’s How:

1. First Deci­sions. Decide who will be the viewer (the per­son who actu­ally does the remote view­ing) and who will be the sender (the per­son who “trans­mits” the infor­ma­tion to the viewer).
2. Cre­ate the Tar­gets. Have a third, per­son who will not be involved in the remote view­ing exper­i­ment, select 15 to 20 pos­si­ble tar­gets — the places the viewer will be remote view­ing. The tar­gets must be actual places, prefer­ably within dri­ving dis­tance. This third per­son should write down details about each tar­get on an index card. Infor­ma­tion should include key fea­tures of the site: land­marks, geo­graphic fea­tures, struc­tures and direc­tions. The more strong details, the better.
3. Secure the Tar­gets. The third per­son should place each tar­get card in its own unmarked opaque enve­lope. Seal all envelopes.
4. Choose the Tar­get. Have a fourth per­son ran­domly select one of the tar­get envelopes and give it to the viewer.
5. Plan a Time. Decide on a span of time that the actual exper­i­ment will begin and end. For exam­ple, let’s say you choose to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 11 a.m. From this point, the sender and viewer should have no con­tact until the exper­i­ment is over.
6. Open the Enve­lope. In a place sep­a­rate from the viewer, the sender should open the enve­lope and for the first time find out what the tar­get loca­tion is. The sender should then go to that loca­tion, plan­ning to be there by the start time (in this case, 10 a.m.).
7. Viewer Prepa­ra­tion. Before the start time, the viewer should pre­pare by being in a quiet, com­fort­able loca­tion with as few dis­trac­tions as pos­si­ble. Dress com­fort­ably, dis­con­nect the phone or turn off the cell phone and go to the bath­room to avoid any pos­si­ble inter­rup­tions. Get as relaxed as pos­si­ble; try some breath­ing exer­cises.
8. Start Send­ing. At the agreed time, the sender is at the tar­get loca­tion. The sender should look around and begin trans­mit­ting by thought detailed impres­sions of the loca­tion. The impres­sions should include spe­cific col­ors, strong shapes, struc­tures — even smells.
9. Start View­ing. At the agreed time, the viewer should be totally relaxed and be sit­ting com­fort­ably with paper and pen­cil or pen. Write down the impres­sions that come across. Draw the shapes seen; note color and smell impressions.
10. Notes. Before the exper­i­ment is over, the sender should also jot down notes about the specifics of the tar­get loca­tion. Per­haps even pho­tos or video can be taken.
11. End­ing the Exper­i­ment. At the end of the agreed time, the viewer should sign and date all notes and draw­ings made. These are then given to another person.
12. The Judge. After the exper­i­ment is done, the viewer’s notes and the sender’s notes (and pho­tos, if any) should be handed over to an impar­tial per­son (who thus far has had no con­nec­tion with the exper­i­ment) who will act as a judge. The judge will com­pare the notes of the sender and the viewer to deter­mine how suc­cess­ful the remote view­ing exper­i­ment was.
13. The Ver­dict. Finally, all per­sons can gather to hear the judge’s opin­ion, view all of the mate­ri­als and find out the num­ber or per­cent­age of remote view­ing hits.
14. Plan Another Exper­i­ment. Whether the results are sat­is­fac­tory or dis­ap­point­ing, plan to try again. Psy­chic exper­i­ments take time and prac­tice. Don’t give up.
15. Share Your Suc­cesses. If you’ve con­ducted a suc­cess­ful remote view­ing exper­i­ment, let me know about it. Send me the details for pos­si­ble shar­ing with read­ers on this website.

Tips:

1. When the third party selects the tar­get sites, it will be help­ful to choose spots that have strong, bold and unique visual fea­tures. This will help make the trans­mis­sion and recep­tion of the tar­get eas­ier and more specific.
2. At no time before or dur­ing the exper­i­ment should the viewer see or speak with the peo­ple who choose the tar­gets and cre­ate the cards and envelopes. This pre­vents the acci­den­tal leak­age of any infor­ma­tion about the tar­gets to the viewer beforehand.
3. When the viewer is writ­ing down and draw­ing impres­sions, don’t try to inter­pret, ana­lyze or second-guess them. Record your first impres­sions with­out cen­sor­ship or judge­ment. Just let it happen.
4. For some view­ers, it’s prefer­able to just sit and relax while impres­sions are received. Say what is “seen” and have some­one else write down what is said. Con­sider record­ing it on audio or video­tape. (This record­ing per­son should be absolutely silent dur­ing the recording.)
5. Keep try­ing. Unlike a chem­istry exper­i­ment in which you mix two chem­i­cals and always get the same result, a psy­chic exper­i­ment like remote view­ing is not always sure-fire. Results will vary with the peo­ple involved, the time and place, and other cir­cum­stances. But keep exper­i­ment­ing. You may find that your per­cent­age of “hits” will improve over time.
