Remote viewing was the scariest thing for me to try for the first time. Firstly because I’ve watched too many films like ‘Behind Her Eyes’, and on the flip side, in case it didn’t work.
What is Remote Viewing?
Remote viewing is the practice of perceiving distant or unseen targets beyond normal sensory perception. In simple terms, you’re not physically there in your body, you are travelling to locations, times and space out of body.
It’s one of those things that we find hard to understand like time, infinity, planet sizes, colours we can’t see. We have human brains with human constraints. It’s amazing to think that there’s more going on out there.
Remote viewing means that you have to let go of all of your reality and tune into the universe and other places geographically and in time.
It’s a natural ability that anyone can develop.
A Very Brief History of Remote Viewing
Remote viewing has been used historically in China, Tibet, India, and Egypt thousands of years ago.
The west was late to the party in practising it more.
The 1970’s 80’s and 90’s in particular saw military intelligence studying and using remote viewing.
The Difference Astral Travel and Remote Viewing
There are a few answers to this. The first of my examples is that remote viewing is purely viewing with your mind and astral travel is where you can be seen at your destination location.
The second is that remote viewing is undertaken with intent and purpose. You have an instruction of something specific to see in a specific place. Whereas astral travel is wandering around just to see what you can see.
The third – and as a marketing person I like this one – is that the military scientists rebranded astral travel to remote viewing so that it sounds non- paranormal.
How does Remote Viewing Work?
- You don’t need to be a working psychic—anyone can practice and improve over time.
- It’s about perception, not mind control or absolute accuracy.
- The practice is perfectly safe. You can come back at anytime. It’s not a Hollywood film. No evil can take over, or you’re not stuck while dangerous things are happening around you.
- The practice uses energy and works through your chakras Everything is energy we all know that.
- You are tapping into the collective consciousness, the “psychic internet.”
- The practice uses extrasensory perception (ESP) to access non-local information.
In my remote viewing training there were mind bending diagrams about the mind and explanations of how the scientists think it all works.
Remote View: The Mentor Method
My first experience of witnessing remote viewing had me in awe.
I talk about my first development class a lot, obviously because that was when the eye openings happened, and my exposure to the different possibilities and mind blowing experiences. We all seemed to come along with our own specialism or gift. My default was at the time a strong and sometimes debilitating empathy and clear psychic knowing for guidance.
We discovered that another of the students worked by remote viewing. She’d be walking around your house or your grandma’s kitchen describing it as if she was there.
I remember saying I wish I could astral travel, that’s amazing. It was just as natural to her as breathing, so it didn’t seem that big of a deal. I told her that I was going to do a remote viewing course and she said she would help me. That put me at ease and made me really excited.
Cognitrons and Project Stargate - what?
I wasn’t expecting the amount of background study required before the first remote viewing exercise. It was brain frazzling.
Ancient and modern history, important viewers – sure – expected. Government agencies and spy projects – yeah OK . Vibrational resonance, types of remote viewing, latent ability, CRV method, the concepts of The Matrix, Gestalt, Cognitrons, Limen thresholds and conduits – are all a bit beyond my double GCSE Science grades. It took a lot of brain power to understand and then remember it all for assessments, but it’s all fascinating.
I'm popping in!
With the theory completed, I was finally ready for my first remote viewing experience.
On a Sunday afternoon in 2021 I contacted that helpful student to warn her that I was going to remote view her house at 5pm. I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t see anything that would scar my mind.
I counted down and found myself sitting on a sofa in a living room over 100 miles away. Looking around I started to memorise what I saw.
I described the décor. One wall was papered but the rest were painted, silver ornaments stood on the windowsill, the description of the curtains, the view outside the window with the colour of parked cars. There was boy’s glass of juice on the arm of the sofa and a green and red rug in a spiral pattern on the floor. I sent her a hand drawn map of the living room detailing where all the furniture was.
Mind Blown
She was amazed. She said that it was the juice that blew her mind the most. I didn’t understand her reaction at the time because she did this all the time.
I brought up the rug as it didn’t sit right with me. The green and red spiral didn’t match the grey and silver décor.
She quickly corrected me. It’s not a rug!It’s my son’s car garage on the floor. It’s red and green and is one of those garages where the cars go from the top to the bottom in a spiral.
We were both really excited and she told me to do it again. So I went back in, and this time walked to the kitchen. Her youngest was at the table eating a cheese toastie, her daughter was at the microwave waiting for it to ping and her son was at the sink. It was brilliant! I was really nervous about checking in with the details in case the first time had been a fluke.
However, she confirmed that her youngest had just been called in for his tea. The other two children needed a switch, It was her son at the microwave waiting for his chips and her daughter at the sink.
Where to next?
My new found mentor of the moment told me to practice by going to landmarks then check the evidence on Google afterwards.
Remote Viewing Experience: Edinburgh Castle

I went off to Edinburgh Castle and saw a bright red room it was like a ballroom and had a lot of detail to remember. At one point I was following a young woman who was excitedly leading me down corridors and telling me to look in rooms. Some of the rooms fell away down the cliff as I looked. My guide went into a bedroom and the viewing session ended. I quickly Googled Edinburgh Castle but there aren't many photos. I saw photos of the red room, however I couldn't see a gravel driveway looping around. Furthermore, my search came up empty for anything about rooms collapsing.
Remote Viewing Experience: Bristol Museum
Bristol Museum was a suggestion late one night by a friend. I did the countdown and my remote viewing preparation exercises. When I went in it was pitch black. I chuckled and reset my intention for visiting the museum by saying, “err in the daylight”. Here’s what I wrote to my friend afterwards in a text message.
I don’t know where I was but not sure if I was there. When I was trying to go under there were so many images coming in.
There was a Greek looking guy who wrapped himself in a blanket, loads of things came and went. I kept zoning out of being present.
This manta ray shape in a fog swam by then went through an arch in the wall. A boy was blowing bubbles.
There was a turquoise/teale shape.
A turquoise fleur de lis that changed into a flower shape then something else.
The room then changed from a pale stone to having wooden borders around the arches and a wooden staircase.
I think wooden panelling and a suit of armour at the bottom of the stairs on the left.
Then a man was on the floor having a fit.
Other bits are shapes I can’t describe. A bit liney like a whales smile. I have just been given the image of a harp but it didn’t look like that at the time.
I was in there for 10 minutes but that’s all I can remember.

Discovering New Orleans: A Journey Through Remote Viewing
If you could have remote viewing experiences and remote view to any destination anywhere in the world (or universe), where would you go? What destination would you love to explore from afar? From the peaks of the Himalayas to the busy streets of Tokyo, there are beautiful, awe inspiring and fascinating places. Too many. It makes me panic that I’m on my iPad writing posts and not out experiencing them all.
Remote Viewing Destination
New Orleans has captivated my imagination for years. My fascination only deepened after watching an episode of “Gypsy Sisters” and the third season of “American Horror Story: Coven.” Anything filmed in Louisiana instantly draws me in. The rich southern history, charming accents, historic buildings, different cuisine, intriguing landscapes, and that unsettling mystery kind of vibe.
Excited to have easy access to this city, I decided to try remote viewing New Orleans.
The Journey to New Orleans
Getting there
I began with a guided YouTube video to get me to the destination. You could try a guided YouTube video when you’re first engaging in remote viewing experiments to help get you into the right state.
In official remote viewing tests by the CIA and Project Stargate and the like, there’s usually someone called a monitor to take you through it. They put the viewer into a meditative state, then asked questions about what the viewer could see.
I easily go off somewhere without trying or wanting to sometimes. However, on this occasion I just felt like I wanted the YouTube vid to do the work allowing my mind to be free to simply view.
Upon my arrival in New Orleans I consciously looked for a street sign to use as a tangible piece of evidence to help me verify later.
Frustratingly, I can’t find any notes about this visit. It’s not in my journals, and all I can see in my phone messages is me telling a friend, “I looked up the street.”.
While the street does exist, it didn’t match the vision I had seen. I remember that on the map it looks out of town, whereas I felt like I was further in to the town.
Remote Viewing Experiences

As I continued my journey I passed a plainly dressed black woman standing behind a waist-high wrought iron fence. She stared at me with a serious expression, her arms at her sides. She might have been a confused local trying to suss me out, but I sensed she was a spirit. Her gaze was intense and conveyed a clear warning that I didn't belong there.
Moving on, I found myself at a black church. It looked old and traditional, with all the brickwork in black. My research later revealed that the search term “black church” or “black bricked church” returns references to churches serving black congregations. I don’t enjoy hours of searching so left it at that.

After the church, I walked down a main street and entered a shop. I knew it was a tattoo parlour in one half of the premises and hoodoo or voodoo place in the other half. An oversized top hat appeared, either on a low-hanging sign or as part of someone's outfit. A voice spoke in my head, “You shouldn’t be here, you’re not strong enough. You should leave.” Taking the warning to heart, I promptly exited. I didn't need to be told twice.
My Thoughts on This Experience
This remote viewing experience of New Orleans was both intriguing and unsettling. It deepened my curiosity and respect for the city’s unique and mystical allure. I don’t have all the answers to what I saw, and this is often the case. The things you see can get jumbled up or lost in translation of what you perceive you are seeing.
The mysteries of New Orleans continue to shout out to me. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to go in person.
