EXERCISE ONE
Time to practice Controlled Remote Viewing. Remember the card deck from Over-the-Shoulder Divination? We’re going to press that deck into service for this exercise. Shuffle the deck face down. The hand-over-hand method of smearing them around on the tabletop with both hands works well for this. When you feel you have them good and truly shuffled, choose five cards at random, keeping them face-down as you do so. Line them up in a straight line, apart from the pile. Gather up the rest of the cards and put them back in the box.
Print out the PDF from the link above. More specifically, print out five copies of page 5 of the PDF, since that’s the page you’re going to be making notes on.
- A pencil is best for this exercise, but you can use a pen. Pull the first card over to you and hold it rest your hand on it, while you blank your mind and go into receiver mode. You can stick the card in an envelope or close your eyes if that helps. What shape comes to your mind when you touch this card? Can you draw a sketch of it on your observations sheet?
- It’s time to fill in the details. What color first comes to mind? Is it dark or light? Does it have a texture? Does any smell come to mind when you think of this object?
- Get a feel for size. Is it small, medium or large? Can it be held in your hand or is it too big and heavy for that?
- It’s time to get a little more abstract. Is this object natural or artificial? Are you getting any feel for its purpose? Is it old or new? Are there any people around it or is it standing alone?
- Look over your notes then touch or hold the target card again. Are there any more details coming to mind, based on the notes you’ve already written or sketched?
- Try to get a feel for the wider area around this item. Is it part of a grouping, or does it stand alone? What sort of area would it be found in? Could you draw another sketch of its environment?
When you’ve gotten all the information you can pick up about this item, set the face-down card aside with the observations sheet and move on to the next card. Go through the same procedure enumerated above for this card. Repeat this with the remaining cards. When you’ve gone through all the target cards, turn the cards over and compare them with your sketches and your notes. How close did you come to the object on the card’s face? Were there any target cards you really missed the boat on? Be patient with yourself if you did. Getting good at controlled remote viewing takes practice, and even experienced remote viewers don’t claim perfection at it.
EXERCISE TWO
This exercise is for Associative Remote Viewing. It works best if you have a decision to make from among two or more options. It’s further helps if you specify a time-period involved in this decision. For this exercise, you’ll want to print out a copy of page 6 of the PDF. You also need a person willing to act as Monitor for this exercise, because you need them to choose a symbol to represent each option. They should do this part without you seeing or knowing which symbols they’ve chosen. Of course let them know what the options for this decision are first. Your Monitor can use the deck of over-the-shoulder cards or think up symbols right off the top of their head. If using the over-the-shoulder cards, the Monitor should keep these cards face-down on the table and away from you. If it helps you focus, they could label the face down cards with Post-It Notes (Option A, option B, option C and so forth).
Close your eyes and clear your mind. Think about your question for a few moments, then clear your mind and go into receiver mode. What image or concept comes to mind? Is it anything you can sketch? What other thoughts come to mind about this image or thought? Fill in the right-hand column on the observations sheet with all you can pick up about it.
When you’re done with your part of the exercise, hand the observations sheet to the Monitor. In the left-hand column on the observations sheet, the Monitor will list the symbols they chose for each option, labeling them clearly as option A, option B, and option C symbols. Have the Monitor hand the sheet back to you and look over the results. Did your sketch and notes clearly indicate one of the Monitor’s chosen symbols or was it a total miss? If there was a clear favorite based on the data you perceived, go ahead with that decision and revisit your notes at the end of the time-period. Then answer these questions:
- Did matters transpire in the way your chosen option indicated they would?
- Did the symbol you apparently drew accurately represent the best outcome?
- If not, did the option indicated by another symbol appear to have happened instead?
Like the previous exercise, the more you practice this form of remote viewing the better you’ll get at it.
