Remote viewing is the psychic ability that pertains to the ability to see places, people, and objects that are not within the range of the outer five senses. This means you wouldn't be able to see or hear it by natural means, but your own innate psychic ability can be trained to perceive things without you needing to be there in person.

Unlike astral travel and some other psychic abilities, while remote viewing your spiritual and physical body will stay in the same place. You are able to see any place, person or thing you wish while your body, mind and spirit stay at home.

You can think of remote viewing as a sort of dowsing where your psychic abilities are used to find what you want to look for. Remote viewing involves using extra sensory perception to find and view what you're looking for.

All humans have a form of latent psychic ability that was never developed fully when we were young. Considering that most of us only ever use around 10% of our brain's capacity, there's another 90% of dormant brainpower left untapped and untrained that we aren't quite sure what to do with.

Remote viewing can let you check up on your children to make sure that they're safe when you can't be right there with them. You can increase your security and gain peace of mind by using your latent powers of remote viewing.

Remote viewing is one of the psychic abilities latent in all of us which can be developed through practice and preparation. There have been studies on people who had never before exhibited any psychic abilities; but when they were taught how to attain the trance-like state of relaxation needed for remote viewing, they were able to use this psychic ability.

Here are some simple remote viewing techniques you can try on your own:

*Sit comfortably in a quiet place and close your eyes. You should be sure there are no distractions before you begin.

*Take deep breaths through the nose. You can get better control over your breathing by holding your tongue at the roof of your mouth. This will also suppress yawns as you relax deeply.

*Believe in yourself and your remote viewing abilities. You need to tell yourself that you can and will be able to remotely view things which your senses would not let you normally perceive.

*Start off with an easy object for your remote viewing to test your abilities. Try looking at yourself from across the room, as if you were watching yourself in a mirror. This is something which can be difficult to do at first; but focus and be patient with yourself. You'll be pleasantly surprised how quickly you'll learn to be able to see yourself from the perspective others see you.

*After being able to view yourself remotely, it's time to start looking a little farther afield. Try remote viewing a place which you are familiar with. You could try viewing a relative's home or your office. Look for the details and once you've finished your remote viewing session, call and ask if the things you've seen are as you saw them in your remote viewing. This is important, since you'll be able to know how you're progressing with your remote viewing training.

The next step is to try something a little more challenging. Try having a friend or family member in the next room repeating a motion while you try to remotely view them. Once you're done, see if you could perceive what they were doing. This exercise can tell you if you're really advancing in the development of your remote viewing abilities.

With practice and patience, your ability to remote view will steadily improve and it will become ever easier for you to achieve the trance state needed for remote viewing. Much like a hypnotic state, your body will be completely relaxed, but you will still be aware and your subconscious will be able to start working towards its potential.

It is in the subconscious that our psychic abilities are found; but with practice, remote viewing will be something you'll be able to do at will.
