Find a quiet area with no chance of distraction from other individuals. Make sure the ringer on the phone is turned off. If traffic noise is a problem, use some form of white noise to reduce its annoyance. Also, have on hand a sketchpad, pen and a tape recorder. Write out your name and address on the paper. The next step is to get into a comfortable chair and meditate. Generally, most remote viewers meditate before the session in order to get themselves into an altered state of consciousness. However, there are individual differences to achieving this. The idea here is to get into an altered state of mind. (No drugs please, drugs degrade RV results.) After you have entered an altered state, think briefly about acquiring the target. Then become an "eyewitness" to all your inner sensory inputs: sight, smell, touch, hearing, and emotions. Trusting the vision that has come to your mind, make a brief (not detailed) drawing of it. This drawing will help you fix in your mind an image of the target. This drawing is to help you to connect with your inner experience. Each time you re-access the target, the image becomes more detailed. Likewise, add more detail each time to your sketch or start additional (simple) drawings. Spending too much time on drawing details has the tendency to move one out of an altered state. Make notes to other sensory inputs, like what is the color? Texture? Does it make a noise? Is there motion? For the majority of the time during the session these impressions appear vaguely. To describe sensory inputs of remote viewing is likening them to a "memory of the taste.” In addition, you can isolate the senses by focusing on any particular one. For example, touch. What is the target’s texture? Is it soft, rough or ridged? Remote viewing for the most part does not rely upon good visualization. What it does rely heavily upon is a sense of "knowingness.” For example, did you see an airplane in you mind’s eye? Or was it more of sense of "knowingness” about it? When remote viewing, tell yourself aloud, "I am life size.” Many times remote viewers who do not say this find themselves shrunken down or overly tall. The reason for this may be an object such as a doorknob may become the only object the viewer may focus his or her attention on. When focusing on such a small object, a viewer may lead himself or herself to believe, the doorknob was the target and not the larger but correct whole of the door. Likewise, you can enlarge yourself and shrink yourself. Some good experiments on atomic structures were done having viewers shrink themselves down. Losing focus is normal during a remote viewing session. When this happens, take a break for a minute or two. When you are ready to return to viewing the target, have the monitor or yourself say aloud "target” then repeat "target” again. Saying target twice will help your mind refocus. At times, your rational mind may take over and attempt to label what you are experiencing. Write the thought out on paper labeling it analytical over lay or AOL. If you do not write, it out the mind has a tendency to hold on to the thought making it a reality of its own. For example, the target may be a mountain range but the viewer’s analytical mind believes the outline of the mountains to be that of a two-hump camel. The struggle is to stop the analytical mind from trying to make sense of the workings of the intuitive mind. It is best for the viewer not to try to make sense out of the data until after the session has been completed. When doing a session having a sense of playfulness gives the best results. If remote viewing becomes stressful or boring, results diminish. For beginners, keep the session to no more than twenty minutes in length. Even professional viewers generally try to keep to shorter sessions. It is helpful if you can answer these questions:
