How Anyone Can Learn Remote Viewing

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

The ability to reach higher levels of vibrations in our thought patterns is what remote viewing is all about. Everyone is born with the ability for psychic awareness and anyone can learn remote viewing. However, for most people the ability is lost or forgotten as they grow up or because it was never perfected and practiced. Often paranormal ability is discouraged as well.

As with astra travel, lucid dreaming and other similar controlled mind experiences, remote viewing is a type of paranormal experience. No-one actually knows how or why it works, and science is unable to explain it either, but the fact remains that it is possible to do it. While many people find paranormal activities and abilities to be rather peculiar, all these psychic experiences are natural to humankind, and so is remote viewing.

It might surprise you to know that remote viewing has in fact been used by various countries as part of their safety and security measurements. However, many of these governmental programs that made use of remote viewing were discontinued and declassified, making them available to the general public. It is interesting to note that those people involved in these government programs were in fact just regular, ordinary people. They had never known that they possessed the talent for being able to utilize their inborn, natural remote viewing capabilities.

What does this mean? This means that you can do it too. With some time and practice, you can learn remote viewing and after a while, you will be able to do it in hardly any time at all. However, you must keep in mind that as with all things, learning how to become apt at remote viewing will take some time and effort.

When you are doing remote viewing you are in effect using and perfecting what is essentially a power of the mind. Because of this you can realistically expect to feel tired as you use up energy. So it is therefore wise to not over-exert yourself and to pace yourself during your sessions.

Meditation and visualization are two key components for anyone who is learning to remote view. Being able to meditate and visualize will enable you to be receptive to what is an out of body, paranormal experience such as remote viewing. These two fundamental things will help you to relax and also still your mind sufficiently so that you are then able to experience remote viewing. Therefore you will need to learn how to do these if you wish to learn how to remote view as well.

In order for you to become really good at remote viewing, you will have to take you time to practice this art form on a regular basis. As we all know, practice does make perfect and this applies to developing our paranormal or psychic gifts and talents as well.

You will learn how to quite your mind and then focus your concentration intensely on a person, place or thing that is in another area than where you are currently. It is the ability to perceive, view or see something from a distance.

Often the images that you will see during your remote viewing session will be unclear and out of focus. Therefore it is important that you keep an open mind to what you are seeing or perceiving during the session.

The more often you practice, the better you will become at understanding what you are seeing. Be sure to keep a record of your remote viewing experiences, as this will help you to learn more about yourself and the types of methods that work best for you. It can also help you to figure out more about your own self and the world you live in when you record your progress in a remote viewing journal.

When you learn remote viewing you can travel anywhere you want to, you can explore the galaxies, a different time period, whether it is in the future or sometime in the past. You can link into the universal mind when you are practicing remote viewing if you choose to do so.

You will be able to see much when you remote view, so it could prove helpful to keep a pen and paper handy for you to sketch what you see. It is important that you take note of everything that you may see, including various shapes and colors. So it is important that you take note of everything.

There are various resources available to help you to learn remote viewing. Online or offline, you can find various books to help you. Also hypnosis recordings are a great help to retrain your subconscious mind. You should also check out something called ‘binaural beat’ audios which can instantly get your brainwaves into the correct frequency for psychic powers such as remote viewing to be possible.

Taking A Look At Mental Telepathy

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

‘Mental telepathy’ can be a broad term that encompasses numerous things. It typically means reading the thoughts between people without using normal senses. The difference is a huge between having an intuitive gut feeling and knowing information that could only be gathered by reading somebody’s mind. Very basic skills can be construed as mental telepathy but so can very complex. Different levels of mental telepathy can be summarized in this article.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Kinesics, or non-verbal communication, occurs whenever two people communicate without speaking, using their eyes, body language, and facial expressions instead. This can range from simple messages like ‘go away’ to entire conversations. Any parent who has tried to communicate something to their spouse that they don’t want their children to hear has experienced this. Non-verbal communication is achieved easiest and most accurately between people who know each other well”siblings, parents and children, husbands and wives, and close friends.

This may not count as mental telepathy, as the two people are using their senses to communicate, just not verbally and this is correct. However, mental telepathy plays a role, because their minds are more attuned to each other because of extended exposure to the way the others mind may think and some predictability comes into play, so there is a sort of mental connection. Two people that know each other well enough to understand more subtle body language, or have created nonverbal signals to communicate, might be argued that it is not be classified as mental telepathy.

EMPATHY

Through empathy it is possible to directly experience the emotions of others or connect on an emotional level. Putting yourself in another’s shoes’ and understanding how they feel is not something everybody is able to do. Training and practice can increase empathy. Imitating the emotions of others, even to the point of spontaneously laughing or crying is something actors and sociopaths can do everyday.

‘Sympathetic pain’”feeling another person’s pain as if it were your own is something expectant fathers mention, some claiming they can feel the mother’s labor pains at the same time she is experiencing them. If someone close to you is experiencing an overwhelming emotion, you may feel an echo of the same emotion inside you, and mothers often describe this uneasy feeling when their child has been injured. The phenomena of long distance empathy, where a person suddenly feels that someone close to them is in danger, even though they are not near the person at the time is common in other relationships, as well.

There are some skeptics and psychologists who scoff at these kind of incidents and call them the work of an overactive brain. In certain cases they may have a point because we can see the injury and the hurt. However in cases of long distance empathy where a person doesn’t even know that his loved one is injured or hurt, then they don’t have an explanation about why a person who cannot even see the other person can feel the pain.

SYMBOL AND OBJECT PROJECTION:

Thought transference of symbols, numbers, or names of objects between two minds is beyond the regular five senses in communication. A designated sender and receiver, intense concentration, training, and practice are often involved in this type of mental telepathy, such as a mind reader or physic with a television audience, who is able to guess the names of loved ones or what card a person is holding in their hand.

The simpler the concept, the easier it is to communicate through thought alone. For example, a color or shape may be easier to convey than an animal.

Zener cards often used in mental telepathy test are an example of this principle. Simple, concrete black-and-white symbols (a circle, square, star, plus sign, and three wavy lines), gives even a random guess a 20% chance of being right. On the other hand, a shared, known, limited set of concrete symbols may increase the coordination of the thoughts between sender and receiver. A success rate of 50% or higher (which have happened) can not be explained away by simple statistics, but may indicate a level of mental telepathy, instead.

ABSTRACT COMMUNICATION:

Mental telepathy at this level involves abstract concepts like ideas or actions, which are more complex to communicate than colors and shapes. Telepaths rarely achieve this level, and lower success rates are indicated in experiments.

Interestingly there are certain animals which can communicate effectively and we have still not discovered their modus operandi. Telepathy may be one of the methods. In this kind of communication between animals very basic abstract concepts will be involved. Since animals do not have prefrontal lobes which enhance complex communication, this communication will be restricted to basic impulses like thirst hunger and even danger.

Some people feel that initially in the olden days man had the power of telepathy, which declined as language and man, evolved. Assuming this is true, and then right research can show us the right way to rediscover this lost skill.

Other scientists believe however that telepathy and other esp and psychic powers are in fact the ‘future’ for mankind. And if enough people can develop these powers, theoretically all humans in the future could become telepathic.

Lucid Dreams - An Awesome Experience!

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Dreams that you have where you know they are dreams and control the final outcomes of the dream are called lucid dreams. These are the type of dreams where you pick the subject or the person they are about and make the dream come out the way you want yet you feel like you are fully awake, similar to day dreaming.

Your dreams can be a fantasy, adventure or mystery. Anything you want. There are no limits to what you can experience!

The difference between normal dreams and lucid dreams is that you control lucid dreams, where normal dreams may wander randomly from subject to subject. You may even have to pinch yourself because they can seem so real versus normal dreams that may be strange, abstract and sometimes scary.

One way to make sure that you are dreaming is to attempt reading a book or paper. If you are dreaming your words are sure to change and make reading impossible. If you can’t read then it’s a lucid dream.

Someone you want to be with may be impossible in real life, but in a lucid dream, you where anything is possible, you can be sitting and talking with a loved one that has passed or a guy you saw at the subway station.

In a lucid dream, you can change the outcome if you don’t like how the dream is heading. If you imagine you are with your loved one that has passed, you might dream that they are still alive because you were able to get to them to warn them of their upcoming demise, for example. Controlling your dream for the desired outcome is part of lucid dreaming.

Because your body has a biological need to sleep, your mind can remain in a semi-conscious state while your body is resting, which is what makes lucid dreams physically possible.

Lucid dreaming needs some techniques which can be learnt by some practice and patience.

Trying to remember your dreams and what they were about, who was in them and the outcome is a good way to start. Dream interpreters say to keep a pad and pen by handy so that you waste no time jotting down your images as soon as you remember them or awaken. It is possible the dream will repeat its self and you can finish writing it down. If you document your lucid dreams as you go, you may start to see a pattern develop over a period of time.

Lucid dreaming is a great tool for writers. You can actually dream about all the characters, the plot and the way you want your story line to move. You can use lucid dreaming for expressing all your dormant desires and manifesting them in reality.

You can sometimes continue the dream where you left off, if you wake up, recall everything you can about your dream, and go back to sleep. Lucid dreams have been found to have a pattern, so chances are you will be able to recall more each time as it reaches a conclusion to your liking.

If you wake before your normal time, let’s say you have a couple of hours to go; this is the easiest time for lucid dreaming. It may seem like you have been awake and thinking all the time, but you have actually been lucid dreaming.

With practice it will become easier each passing day. Self hypnosis is also a great way to enhance your lucid dreaming experience.

You can sometimes put your mind into the mode of lucid dreaming using other techniques, such as binaural beats, which are a recent development in sound technology. By using sound waves to put parts of the brain responsible for lucid dreaming to work to instantly put you into the lucid dream condition and help you recall lucid dreams.

Harnessing the Power of the Subconscious Mind

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

The mind is probably the most powerful and impact force in creation and you should not underestimate the power of your own subconscious mind. Remember that no matter what a person says or does all action originates in the mind. In some instances, the actions of the mind are manifested on a conscious level.

For example, if you wish to change the channel on the TV, you think about it and then you do so. But, have you ever noticed you picked up the remote and quickly changed a channel without ever once thinking about why you did what you did? If so, have you ever stopped to think about your actions? More than likely, you did not because the action was a subconscious one.

Your sub-conscious mind acts and reacts according to the stimulus it receives, whether you recognize it or not. This can mean that negative or upsetting images on the TV can have an effect on your sub-conscious thoughts in the same way as those negative comments you tell yourself when you feel doubt have the same effect.

By harnessing the power of the subconscious mind you really can unleash you’re full potential. On the reverse of that, if you allow your own inner thoughts to keep repeating negative thoughts or images, then your subconscious will take hold of these and allow those to manifest instead.

That is why it is helpful to also look at the positive aspects of the human mind and how we can approach the subconscious as a means of self-improvement. Now, some may read this and think it refers to an overly complex process that is difficult to attain. In reality, it is the opposite that is true. The guiding of the subconscious mind is no where as difficult as some assume. Through a series of simple processes, it is possible to use the power of the subconscious mind so that it helps one harness unlimited potential. So, let us take a brief look at some of the ways this is achieved.

The simplest as best known way of communicating with the subconscious mind is by using affirmations. This is basically a constant repetition of positive words.

For example, if someone needed to complete a daunting task they were not truly inclined to become involved with, they might feel a deep tired feeling come over them. This is simple a stress response to the scenario that saps a person of the vital energy needed to complete the task. That is to say, it is a mental response to what would appear to be a boorish task. Through affirmation, however, one can completely overcome this state of mind and approach the task in a much better manner.

Using affirmations can help you to find the benefits of each task so the automatic response changes to become positive as you tackle it with new strength. The right affirmations can reinforce in you that you’re the right person for the job. No one can do it like you can, and completing that task will lead to bigger and better opportunities.

Affirmations also help you to change a habit such as stopping smoking or stopping yourself from overeating or drinking. Scientific studies have shown that the constant repetition of affirmations, either spoken or written down, taps into the power of your subconscious mind and changes your behaviour.

Hypnosis is another way to tap directly into the subconscious mind. You can do this using a qualified hypnotherapist or you can use self-hypnosis by listening to specific audio recordings. This can help you to change habits, like stopping smoking or over-eating. You can also change your entire attitude toward certain activities or actions to become more positive if you wish.

Another way to harness the power of the subconscious mind is to use brainwave synchronization or binaural beats. This is where you listen to specific sound frequencies through headphones. The sounds are different within each ear and create a synchronization of the two sides of your brain. This induces a deep meditation state that accesses your subconscious mind.

Buddhist monks utilize the full power of their subconscious minds to display mastery over themselves and on occasion even the environment around them. Able to break items without pain or levitate their physical bodies, this is achieved after years of mastering their own subconscious powers.

By using the power of our subconscious mind, we can actually manipulate matter on a subatomic level and all of the events around us. This has been explained in films and books such as ‘The Secret’ which explains the law of attraction. This shows that it is not only theoretically possible, but is in fact a physical law which allows you to manifest whatever you want out of life just by successfully communicating with your subconscious mind.

Quantum physicists are just recently learning that many ancient civilizations already understood their own ability to influence their concept of reality by learning to control their own subconscious power.

The power within your subconscious mind is much bigger than the majority of people understand. Learning to tap into and harness this power positively can seriously open your eyes to the amazing new life that awaits you.

Using Yoga For Weight Loss

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Is it really possible to use yoga for weight loss? It is. Many people think of yoga as merely stretching. But if you attend a class at your gym, you may come away with a completely different idea about this exercise technique. An average class can even burn almost the same amount of calories as would be used in another more strenuous cardio exercise.

You are doing resistance exercise when you do yoga, believe it or not. You may picture weight lifting when you think of resistance training. you are actually picking up your own body weight and this can be a good workout. You can strengthen your muscles with this type of exercise in the same way that could happen with other resistance activity.

You can find in yoga the same types of exercises you would do in other typical resistance routines. There are movements like push-ups, squats or lunges as well as many others. Yoga makes for a better and more enjoyable workout because the poses are so unique and not what we’re used to necessarily. Some people think of yoga as a form of art. If you do your poses in front of a mirror, you can gain a new appreciation for the beauty of your body reflected back to you.

Yoga can be a helpful aid to weight loss in that it works subtly in the mind as well as physically. As a way to begin your day, you can find some peace of mind that will cut down on your need for ineffective coping techniques. That is, the “emotional eating” that some people do. Whenever one is eating for reasons other than hunger, there is an issue to address.

You will reduce your total intake if this kind of emotional eating stops. Weight reduction would automatically follow. Yoga can give you a little vacation from your mind. While practicing this during yoga, you can learn to use this skill in your real life off the mat.

You can get positive weight loss results from just a few days of yoga a week. Very positive physical outcomes are possible from yoga. Although it may not strike you as the type of activity that can really change your body, you could be pleasantly surprised. Contrary to what you might believe, you don’t have to despise exercise for it to really work for you. Your body need not be tormented for positive results. Being kind and gentle to it can work even better.

The Importance of a Regular Chakra Balance

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Everything is said to be in its best when at equilibrium, the environment that protects us, the mind that guides us as well as the chakras in our body. Along with the physical existence in this world we also have a spiritual existence, what we call our soul, our conscience.

Anything that we do requires an apt combination of both sides of our existence and while nutrition plays the role of the energizer for our body and provides us with the strength and the power, the chakras play a similar role for the comfort of our soul. Hence the maintenance of chakra balance is highly critical.

Chakra balance is a follow up after the cleansing of the chakras is completed. Once the chakras are able to free themselves of the negativity and bring in the positivity their cleansing process is said to be over. The heavenly bodies are said to play a significant role in the exchange of energies in this way.

Chakra balance is obtained by ensuring that the energy exchange takes place for each chakra so that not only the individual chakra is balanced but an overall chakra balance can be seen for the human being, which would mean that all your body parts are in the best of conditions and you are in great health.

As one would know that there is a specified organ linked with each one of these circles of energy and hence you need to take care that all the chakras are in a balanced state or else a small disorder in a critical body part could lead to quite a few health problems.

An important component of the chakra balance in our body is water, the association our body has with this liquid shares a big impact on the physical body as well as our chakras.

As soothing as the colors are for our eyes, certain colors can also be soothing to the chakras. They play a definitive role in helping maintain the chakra balance and their introduction into your life can drive away problems caused by the particular chakra with which the color is associated.

Meditation is a very effective way of relaxing your inner body, while you sleep your physical body is at rest and it recharges itself to maintain the balance of energy in real world however in order to maintain chakra balance it is important that your spiritual self is also relaxed and can focus and refresh itself, meditation plays a defining role in providing the adequate amount of required rest to the soul.

In fact also sleeping is a form of meditation and it not only relaxes the physical body but also recharges a good amount of the chakras and hence it is very important that a person gets adequate sleep.

It is very important that along with all activities to maintain chakra balance, an individual should also include adequate amount of exercising in his/her habits, this not only beneficial for the body parts but it also helps the re arrangement of the chakras physically. The duration of the exercise need not be long but then it should be strictly followed.

Various chakras are impacted by the kind of food you consume and hence it is very important to change your eating habits to healthy food so that the chakra balance is not disrupted. There are many illnesses that are caused due to the type of food consumed and hence you should be careful about your diet.

One can be sure of the fact that the chakra balance impacts the various aspects of your body and personality and its maintenance is very crucial for effective survival.

The Essential Tools of Chakra Balancing Therapy

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

According to the ancient Hindus, chakras are the human body’s main energy centers; they are acknowledged as an essential part of our life force which help keep our mind and body functioning together harmoniously in top-notch condition. Although not physically visible, chakras are associated with our body’s major endocrinal glands (which are visible).

Our chakras are responsible for controlling the flow of energy into and out of our bodies. We depend on this constant flow of energy both internally and between our bodies and our environment. To keep in good health, our chakras must be in a balanced state.

Our seven primary chakras each correspond to a particular part of our endocrine system. Everything we experience is intimately related to our chakras.

Any kind of stress, whether mental, physical or emotional can negatively affect the balance of our chakras. We can have a loss of energy, even illness as a result of this imbalance. This is a clear sign if there ever was one that our chakras are out of balance.

Chakra balancing must be done regularly to maintain good health, just as regular maintenance is important to the proper functioning of a machine.

Importance of Chakra Balancing There are many different ways to balance your chakras; others are always being developed to help people reach a state of perfect balance in their chakras. This is the goal of those who want to have a more healthy, happy and productive life.

To begin with, people must understand that each chakra has its own different resonant frequency which corresponds to naturally occurring frequencies. These frequencies which facilitate the energy reception and transmission functions of the chakras; otherwise referred to as qi, chi or prana.

During periods of illnesses, our chakras are still functioning but may be out of synch which can hamper the free flow of energy to further aggravate our physical and/or mental and emotional illness. Other contributory factors to the malfunction of our chakra system are undue stress or the inability to cope, suppressed emotions, unhealthy food intake, and lack of exercise.

The balance of your chakras can, happily, be restored; although they will get out of balance from time to time, but this can be corrected.

Tools of Chakra Balancing: The most commonly used ways of restoring chakra balance are light, sound, crystals and gems, aromatherapy and color.

Colors: Commonly used colors and their corresponding chakras are red (root chakra), orange (sacral chakra), yellow (solar plexus chakra), green and turquoise (heart chakra), blue (throat chakra), violet (crown chakra) and white for all chakras.

Crystals and Gems: Gems, crystals and stones have been used in chakra balancing for thousands of years. Each chakra corresponds to a different color, as we now know; so the laying of gems or crystals of the appropriate color on the location of a chakra can help to restore balance. This can help the body properly heal.

The light reflected by these stones can also help by getting this light into the body (and your chakras).

Light: Light therapy uses light on the eyes, the meridian points used in acupuncture and the areas where the body has the strongest reflexes in order to deliver the proper frequencies to restore chakra balance. Light is made up of both visible and invisible frequencies, including those which are beneficial to the chakras. The spectrum of light is very broad, so this is an effective means of chakra balancing.

Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy uses essential oils, scented massage oils and scented bath soaps to assist in the restoration of chakra balance and to help the physical body heal. Aromatherapy can also relieve depression and stress, provide relaxation and aid in meditation.

Sound: The use of tuning forks, soft music, quartz crystal, Tibetan bowls, and other objects to generate an agreeable resonance is also utilized to achieve a healthier well-being. Sound has natural vibration and resonance therapeutic effect because it affects us emotionally. Beautiful and melodious sounds can induce serenity and calm whereas chaotic sounds produce dissension and discord. Sound can be used to achieve a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in order to better faster healing and achieve higher levels of consciousness.

Chakra balancing up until recently was a quite time consuming process, but recent advances in audio technology such as listening to binaural beat frequencies, subliminal messaging and self-hypnosis meditation recordings have made the process of chakra balancing far easier and quicker for most people.

Past Life Regression - Future Happiness!

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

They say, only twenty five percent of people believe that reincarnation exists. This does not prove it does not exist. Have you ever felt inclined towards or perhaps realized you had the ability (talent) for something and wondered where that talent came from? You are, I am sure, what I am referring to. In our daily lives we sometimes feel a strong connection to something and can think of no reason for it. It could, perhaps, have been something in your past life that was important to you.

Unfortunately, its possible existence or validity is overlooked by many people and tends to be ignored. The opportunity to expand personally is missed out by that person or persons. To discover who they were in the past and who they are today, in the present. Ignoring information received on their past lives makes it easy to impede personal growth and to achieve success.

As a matter of fact extensive research has shown that past life regression is a very powerful tool in helping people with emotional problems.

The clearing and healing trauma, is a very common benefit of life regression. We have two choices when trauma happens and we can either try to change it of face it straight on. As we talk of life regression and of facing trauma, the option to rescue the past and help the individual (him or her) to continue to move ahead and get into a position where the trauma will be available for viewing by a higher self, as a whole.

Contacting our creative sides is possible with the help of past life regression. Without exception, everyone is imbued with many talents and abilities which can help with guiding them in making choices and dealing with situations that they experience throughout their life. Going back into past lives with life regression makes it possible to bring these abilities forward to use as a inner guide.

A past life regression can also help you rewrite a past-life contract. Karma is a wonder of a thing it always comes back to us. When it involves another person it can have something to do with a promise or an agreement that we made with that person in a past life. To free yourself from this agreement you can go back to that lifetime where you created the promise originally and you can decide, most often with the help of an Inner Guide, whether or not the is an atonement that can be done or if the contract can be modified to help you with a current situation.

There is also the most significant benefit for going through past life regression and that is grounding and affirming ones self.

People who go back to a past life through past life regression want to feel more grounded and this is not uncommon and they also become more aware of themselves as a person.
