Remote Viewing in Sidereal Time Can Enhance Telepathy
There appears to be evidence that psychic phenomena can be affected by external factors, including geomagnetic forces and our alignment with the cosmos. As strange as this may sound, researcher James Spottiswoode discovered significant data showing that remote viewing in sidereal time is directly correlated with success, or lack thereof, based on our orientation to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Though, he doesn’t know exactly why.
How One Researcher Knew to Calculate Sidereal Time
Sidereal time is a method used by astronomers to keep track of celestial objects. It is based on a time scale of Earth’s rotation in relation to fixed stars in the sky and was used to discover the mysterious nature of pulsars, the highly-magnetized, rotating neutron stars – a source of gravitational waves. But Spottiswoode’s use of sidereal time could point to something more intriguing than gravitational waves; possibly a source emitting or influencing our consciousness.
At a certain point during the day, our zenith, or the point in the sky directly above us, aligns with a particular point in the galaxy. Rather than measuring time based on the Earth’s orientation with the sun, one can measure time based on Earth’s orientation to this galactic point. Days measured in this sense are shorter than solar days by about four minutes, lagging by a little more than one day per year.
So, what does this have to do with remote viewing and psychic phenomena? It turns out that there are peak times during the day when our orientation to the galactic center can enhance success with remote viewing and psychic ability, what Spottiswoode refers to as anomalous cognition. There are also times during the day when psychic ability can be adversely affected by our orientation with the galaxy.
Spottiswoode came to this conclusion by examining a dataset of 20 years worth of psychic research, containing 1,524 trials, between 22 different studies. He found a 400 percent spike in the success rate of tests from remote viewing sessions and wondered what could be causing it. Upon initially examining the time of day when the sessions were being conducted, based on solar time, he kept finding discrepancies. But when organizing the data based on sidereal time, Spottiswoode found a correlation.
At 13:30 h local sidereal time (LST), the data showed that one would have 400 percent greater success with remote viewing. At this time, our planet is oriented with the Milky Way so that the galactic center is located directly on the horizon. This daily period of peak psychic cognition lasts for about three and a half hours, from 12:45 to 14:15 h LST. When the center of the galaxy is directly overhead, or at our zenith, psychic cognition drops to its lowest point, between 17.5 and 20 h.
This Spottiswoode Peak, as it came to be known, had to be connected with something outside of our solar system because sidereal time is based on right ascension, or a longitudinal line to a fixed point in the sky, which rules out anything local due to planetary movement.
But what exactly was this data that Spottiswoode was analyzing and who was he exactly?
Is Remote Viewing Real?
James Spottiswoode is a parapsychologist who has worked on an array of government-funded projects investigating psychokinesis and ESP. He also worked with the Stanford Research Institute during its CIA-funded remote viewing program, known as the Star Gate Project. During his time studying telepathy, Spottiswoode ran experiments testing quantum optics and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic waves on psychic functions.
In addition to discovering the sidereal effect, Spottiswoode found correlations between solar wind and geomagnetic activity in his measurements of anomalous cognition.
During times of low geomagnetic activity, he found that there was an increase in telepathic experiences. This he says, is the only known physical variable that affects anomalous cognition. Geomagnetism is due to interactions between solar wind and the ionosphere, when ionized plasma from solar storms hits the Earth, causing fluctuations in our geomagnetic field. So, if you want to optimize your remote viewing session, make sure you fall within the right sidereal window and plan to view when the solar forecast is clear.
But with all of this evidence, is remote viewing actually real? What did Spottiswoode make of all of this? While his goal was to look empirically at the data and not attempt to measure the quality of the successful sessions, he concluded that the effect sidereal time had on remote viewing was indeed real. He collected data from a new sample of 1015 trials to verify his findings on the original set, reaching the same conclusion. But could there have been a more mundane explanation?
He said that had he found it to correlate with our solar day, he would have associated the phenomenon with circadian rhythms or our scheduled work days, but this wasn’t the case. “…I’ve checked my data carefully and those kinds of effects could not mimic the sidereal correlation I found. Don’t ask me what it is, but it’s real,” he said.
Further research has found the same effect to occur on precognition in animals. One study found a correlation with the 13.5 h sidereal time on Zebra Finches’ precognitive reaction to a stimulus. A correlation was also found on a precognitive test run by Rupert Sheldrake, another researcher who studies psychic phenomena. During this experiment, subjects were tested to see if they could tell who was calling them on the phone before answering. They found subjects were significantly more likely to predict their caller during the peak, 13.5 h sidereal time, compared to the 19 h sidereal time.
If Spottiswoode’s discovery is real it warrants further research into the phenomenon and what could possibly be causing it. Unfortunately, government funding in projects relating to psychic phenomena and remote viewing was cut years ago, at least as far as we know. But for those who meditate, remote view, or astral project, sidereal time should be taken into consideration during your practice. It’s relatively easy to calculate, with websites that let you know what your LST is. Have you ever experienced enhanced psychic cognition due to sidereal time?

What Is Clairsentience and How to Develop It
Clairsentience is a psychic ability that allows one to receive information through physical or emotional sensations that arise without any apparent external cause. It is a form of intuitive perception that facilitates the recognition of energies, emotions, or subtle presences in the environment. In this article, we explore what clairsentience is, how it relates to channeling, and what practices help to develop it.

What Is Clairsentience?
Clairsentience, also known as sensitive perception, is the ability to receive intuitive information through the body. Those who possess it may experience physical or emotional sensations without any obvious cause, but which are related to energies, people, or places. These perceptions do not originate from the traditional physical senses, but rather emerge as internal signals that the body translates into tangible sensations.
This ability can manifest in various ways: from a sudden chill to pressure in the chest or an unexpected emotion. Clairsentience is especially activated in energetically charged environments or in the presence of other people, allowing one to sense emotional states or subtle energies. Often, this perception is accompanied by instinctive knowledge that cannot be rationally explained, yet proves to be accurate and revealing.
Clairsentience and Channeling
Clairsentience plays a vital role in the channeling process. Unlike other psychic abilities that operate through images or sounds, clairsentience allows the channeler to receive information through bodily and emotional sensations. This channel of reception enables a deeper and more empathic connection with spiritual entities or energy fields, becoming a key tool for interpreting and transmitting messages from the subtle realm.
In the series Channeling: A Bridge to the Beyond, available on Gaia, the multiple ways in which channelers access non-physical information are explored. Clairsentience is presented as one of the most direct paths to feel the presence of guides, subtle entities, or shifts in the energy field. This documentary series features experts and renowned channelers who delve into the use of this ability as a bridge between realms and a tool for spiritual transformation.
Types of Clairsentience
Clairsentience does not manifest in the same way for everyone. There are different types, and each one allows the perception of specific information through the body or emotions. Understanding these variations helps to better comprehend how this ability works and to strengthen the connection with the energetic and spiritual realm.
Emotional Clairsentience
Emotional clairsentience manifests as the ability to feel the emotions of other people, even when they are not verbally expressed. Those who possess this ability can perceive sadness, joy, anxiety, or tension just by being near someone, making them channels of deep empathy.
Physical Clairsentience
In this case, the sensations are experienced directly in the body. It is possible to feel pain, pressure, or discomfort that do not belong to one’s own body but reflect energies from the environment or other people’s physical states. This form of perception can be especially useful in practices such as energy healing.
Spiritual Clairsentience
Spiritual clairsentience involves feeling the presence of guides, subtle entities, or shifts in the energy field. These sensations may manifest as chills, tingling, or a particular vibration in the body. It is a common way of perceiving when a spiritual energy becomes present, even without associated images or sounds.
Exercises to Develop Clairsentience
Developing clairsentience is a progressive process based on regular practice and conscious attention to the body and the energetic environment. Through simple exercises, it is possible to train this ability and refine sensitive perception. The goal is not to force immediate results, but to allow the body to become a clear channel for intuitive reception.
One of the most effective exercises is energy reading of the environment. This exercise consists of sitting in silence in different spaces—a room, a garden, a public place—and observing the physical or emotional sensations that arise. It’s important to note whether these sensations change depending on the environment and whether specific areas of the body are activated. Over time, this exercise helps distinguish when a sensation corresponds to an external energy.
Another useful exercise is body scan meditation. Begin by closing your eyes and slowly directing your attention to each part of the body, from the feet to the head. Observe if any area produces pressure, vibration, heat, or cold without any apparent physical cause. This practice strengthens the body-perception connection and enhances sensitivity to the internal signals that activate clairsentience.
Can Everyone Develop Clairsentience?
Yes, anyone can develop clairsentience, regardless of whether they have previous experience with psychic abilities or not. Although some people are born with greater energetic sensitivity, this ability can be cultivated through practice, patience, and conscious attention to the inner world.
The key lies in learning to recognize the subtle signals that the body and emotions transmit. By training sensitive perception and strengthening the connection with intuition, it is possible to activate this ability at different levels, adapting it to each individual’s personal rhythm and process.
Benefits of Clairsentience in Spiritual Growth
Clairsentience is a valuable tool for deepening the spiritual path, as it allows for greater clarity in perceiving both the inner world and the subtle energies of the environment. This ability not only strengthens the connection with oneself but also expands the understanding of reality from a more intuitive and conscious perspective.
- Deep emotional listening: Enables identifying internal emotions with greater precision. This supports processes of personal healing and self-knowledge.
- Energy reading of the environment: Helps perceive whether a place or person has a harmonious or dense energetic charge. This improves decision-making in everyday or spiritual settings.
- Connection with spiritual guides: Facilitates feeling the presence of beings of light or subtle entities. This reinforces the sense of companionship on the spiritual journey.
- Increased body awareness: Clairsentience trains the ability to listen to the body’s signals as intuitive guidance. This allows acting with greater coherence between mind, emotion, and action.
- Development of conscious empathy: Enhances the ability to understand what others feel without absorbing their emotions. This enriches relationships and strengthens compassion from a balanced place.
Differences Between Clairsentience and Other Psychic Abilities
Although all psychic abilities belong to the realm of extrasensory perception, each one manifests through a different channel. Clairsentience is distinguished by its bodily and emotional sensitive focus, while other abilities operate through auditory, visual, or cognitive pathways.
- Clairvoyance: Is based on the visual perception of mental images or non-physical visions. Clairsentience, on the other hand, operates through bodily and emotional sensations.
- Clairaudience: Involves perceiving sounds or voices from the subtle plane. Clairsentience does not involve hearing, but internal physical sensations.
- Claircognizance: Is intuitive knowledge that arises immediately without sensory mediation. Clairsentience requires a concrete bodily or emotional perception.
- Telepathy: Is the direct transmission of thoughts between two minds. Unlike clairsentience, it is not based on feeling but on receiving ideas or thoughts.
