How to Remote View
What is Remote Viewing?
Remote viewing is defined as the ability to acquire accurate information about a distant or non-local place, person or event without using your physical senses or any other obvious means. It’s associated with the idea of clairvoyance and sometimes called “anomalous cognition” or “second sight.” The difference between natural psychic receptivity and remote viewing is that the latter is a trained skill that the average person can learn to do.
How Does Remote Viewing Work?
Remote viewing operates on the principle that every person has the innate ability to access information beyond the reach of the five senses. This practice involves quieting the mind, tuning into subtle perceptions, and allowing information from distant locations or events to come to consciousness. The process begins with setting an intention to view a specific target, which could be a place, person, or event. Practitioners then enter a relaxed, focused state, often described as a light meditative state, where they can receive impressions. These impressions may come through as images, sensations, or intuitive feelings. The outcomes of remote viewing sessions vary; some may yield strikingly accurate details, while others offer more abstract or symbolic insights. With consistent practice, remote viewers can refine their abilities, becoming more attuned to the subtle signals the mind perceives from beyond the physical senses.
Assignment: Increase Your Sensitivity to Unconscious Information
About 80% of the sensory information you experience each moment is generated by your brain. To save energy and time, your mind makes its best guess about what’s going on around you, using a small sampling of the environment. When you practice remote viewing, you’re attempting to describe very subtle information that’s much weaker than your conscious perception. Your assignment is to increase sensitivity to subtle information and learn how to collect unconscious information before your conscious mind interferes.
Spend time each day considering the sensory information in your immediate environment. Notice your surroundings, including the range of colors, sounds and smells. Take a second look: more presence in the moment increases sensitivity to subtle information.
Try Your Eyes at Remote Viewing
1. Select a range of targets
Ask a friend or family member (aka remote viewing assistant) to select 5-10 pictures. Ask them to cut the images from magazines and paste them on sheets of blank, white paper, with one picture per sheet. The images should be real-world pictures, such as people, architecture, nature, etc. Ask them not to pick a target picture that may be offensive or disturbing to the viewer.
2. Ask your assistant to put the images in an envelope
Ask your remote viewing assistant to stack the images in a manilla envelope face down and say absolutely nothing about them to you. You’ll view them one at a time, getting feedback after each session from the facedown target at the top of the pile.
3. Quiet your mind
You want as little mental noise as possible.
4. Let go
Write down the date, time and any ideas you want to let go of that may distract you while viewing.
5. Call the first target to mind
Begin the session by describing the most basic impressions you have of the first target site, event or person. What do you feel is the predominant thing in the target. Is it natural or artificial? Surrounded by land or water? Write several descriptors down.
6. Do not to second guess yourself
Write down the first thing that comes to your mind. The fainter, the better. Just make sure you write down the information as descriptively as possible and don’t judge anything.
7. Connect the dots unconsciously
Information is coming from your mind and autonomic nervous system. The idea is that your unconscious already knows everything there is to know about the target, it just has to communicate that to your conscious mind. It does that through your body with very subtle sensations and feelings.
8. Describe the basics
Write down sensory information that comes up, like visuals, smells, tastes and temperatures. You may start perceiving sizes, shapes and patterns — also known as dimensionals. You may even start to feel an emotional reaction to the target.
9. Draw a sketch of the target
Take your time and don’t worry about how your sketch looks.
10. Find a bird’s eye view
Imagine yourself floating several hundred feet over the target area. Is there anything surprising about the target that you can perceive? Make a note of your final impressions about the target.
11. End the session
Write down the time and a brief summary of what you perceived.
12. Get feedback
Pull the top photo from the envelope and see how you did. Take your time to really look at the colors and shapes of the image and compare it to your notes. You may be surprised at the results.
13. Review and repeat
If you didn’t connect with anything in the photo, don’t despair. The main point of RV is to learn about yourself, not just to be accurate. Remember that remote viewing is an ability you may cultivate. Repeat the process above for the remaining targets in the envelope.
14. Let go of being right
Most importantly, have fun.
How to Practice and Learn Remote Viewing
Learning remote viewing is like developing any other skill: it requires patience, practice, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.

What Are Psychic Powers?
Psychic powers are mental or spiritual abilities that allow a person to perceive, influence, or communicate with the world beyond normal physical senses. These abilities can manifest in various forms, from reading thoughts to visualizing future events. Many believe that we all possess some degree of psychic abilities, but these need to be developed and refined through practice and awareness.
Throughout history, psychic powers have been documented in different cultures and traditions. Shamans, mediums, and seers have used their abilities to guide their communities, heal, and provide information about the past, present, and future. These practices, although sometimes viewed with skepticism, have been an integral part of the spiritual and cultural life of many societies.
In the series Microdose, available on Gaia, these fascinating topics are explored, providing an accessible and in-depth view of psychic abilities and how they can be developed. The series offers an introduction to different psychic abilities and practical techniques to start exploring them on your own.
Types of Psychic Powers
There are numerous types of psychic powers, each with its own characteristics and methods of development. Some of the most common include telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, precognition, psychometry, telekinesis, remote viewing, channeling, astral projection, and mediumship. Each of these abilities offers a unique way to interact with the spiritual and energetic world.
Telepathy
Telepathy is the ability to communicate with others through the mind, without using words or physical signals. This power allows the transmission of thoughts, emotions, and sensations directly from one mind to another. Many people practice telepathy through meditation and visualization exercises, trying to tune in to the minds of others.
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the ability to see events, objects, or people that are not physically present. This ability can manifest as spontaneous visions or as visualized images during meditative states. Clairvoyants often describe their visions as highly detailed and vivid, providing information that is not accessible by conventional means.
Clairaudience
Clairaudience is the ability to hear voices, sounds, or messages from spiritual or energetic dimensions. Unlike physical sounds, these messages are perceived internally, as if they were whispers in the mind. Clairaudients can receive guidance and knowledge from spiritual guides, beings of light, or deceased loved ones.
Precognition
Precognition is the ability to perceive future events before they occur. This psychic ability can manifest as visions, dreams, or a strong intuition about what is about to happen. People with precognition may receive warnings about imminent dangers or glimpse the outcomes of future situations, allowing them to prepare or change the course of events.
Psychometry
Psychometry is the ability to obtain information about a person, place, or event through contact with a related physical object. Psychometrists hold an object and receive sensory impressions that can include images, feelings, or even complete scenes related to the object’s history. This ability is often used to solve mysteries or uncover hidden details about the past.
Telekinesis
Telekinesis, also known as psychokinesis, is the ability to move objects with the mind without any physical intervention. People with this psychic power can influence the movement, direction, or speed of objects simply by concentrating on them. Although telekinesis is popular in mainstream culture, its existence and the possibility of development are subjects of debate among scientists and paranormal enthusiasts.
Remote Viewing
Remote viewing is the ability to obtain information about a distant place, object, or event without being physically present. Remote viewers can describe precise details about locations and situations beyond their immediate reach, often using meditation and deep visualization techniques. This power has been studied by government agencies and is used to gather information not available through conventional means.
Channeling
Channeling is the process of receiving and transmitting messages from spiritual entities or non-physical beings. Channelers act as intermediaries, allowing these entities to communicate through them to provide guidance, wisdom, and spiritual knowledge. This practice may involve automatic writing, speaking, or even art, and it is used to access higher levels of consciousness and understanding.
Astral Journey
An astral journey refers to the experience of consciously traveling beyond the physical body into the astral plane. During these journeys, individuals may explore other realms, visit faraway locations, or connect with different astral beings. Often occurring during sleep or deep meditation, an astral journey offers a sense of liberation and a deeper connection to expanded states of consciousness.
Mediumship
Mediumship is the ability to communicate with spirits or entities from the afterlife. Mediums act as intermediaries, transmitting messages from deceased beings to the living, offering comfort, guidance, and sometimes detailed information that helps resolve conflicts or understand past situations. This practice can include verbal communication, automatic writing, or channeling spiritual energy during mediumship sessions.
Can Everyone Develop Psychic Powers?
Definitely. Everyone has the potential to develop psychic powers. These abilities lie dormant in all individuals and can be cultivated through practice and dedication. Like any other skill, such as learning to play an instrument or practicing a sport, developing psychic abilities requires time, patience, and an open mind. Through techniques like meditation, visualization, and regular practice, anyone can enhance their sensitivity to subtle energies and strengthen their psychic skills.
Psychic development also depends on factors such as individual predisposition, consistent practice, and the learning environment. Attending workshops, reading books on the subject, and joining practice groups can provide the necessary support to progress on this path. In the series Microdose, various methods and techniques for activating and strengthening psychic abilities are explored, demonstrating that with proper guidance, anyone can access these gifts and apply them in daily life.

Myths and Realities About Psychic Powers
There are many myths surrounding psychic powers that can cause confusion. One of the most common myths is that only certain people have “the gift” of psychic abilities, creating a barrier for those who wish to develop these capacities. In reality, although some individuals may show a natural predisposition, everyone can improve their psychic abilities with practice and dedication. The key lies in perseverance and using appropriate techniques to strengthen perception and energetic sensitivity.
Another myth is that psychic powers are always infallible and produce accurate results. The reality is that psychic abilities can be subjective and influenced by the emotional and mental state of the practitioner. It is essential to approach psychic development with an open mind and without rigid expectations, allowing the abilities to develop naturally and progressively. Practice and experience are crucial to improving the accuracy of these abilities.
Many people believe that developing psychic powers can be dangerous or attract negative energies. While it is true that working with energies requires responsibility, with adequate preparation and energetic protection, psychic development can be a positive and enriching experience. Practicing protection techniques, such as visualizing a protective light or setting clear boundaries, helps create a safe environment to explore these abilities.
