The questions I get asked most often are: How can I progress faster as a remote viewer? How can I be more consistently accurate? And one of my favorites: How did you become a good remote viewer?
I am going to answer these questions right here!
Now, this may seem contra intuitive, but if I could go back in time and talk to “little Lori” and teach her anything to help her to have progressed more rapidly as a remote viewer, I would say, “Lori, make friends with yourself.”
Why would an instructor of Controlled Remote Viewing write so often about self LOVE? Crazy, I know! But self-love is the secret to becoming a world-class remote viewer!
Everyone thinks that the key to good remote viewing lies in accuracy. Accuracy is not a goal; accuracy is a by-product of having a good, solid partnership between conscious and subconscious minds. Accuracy happens when the viewer finally develops a friendship with him or herself
Remote Viewing and the relationship between the two minds
The key is taking the emphasis off accuracy and put it on developing this all-important relationship between the two minds.
When you care so much, and you focus on perfection, every im perfection seems to be HUGE FLAW — and you become self-critical. That voice I refer to as the ‘Inner Bitch’ takes over. (Men, you have the Inner Bitch, too…)
When you hinge your self-worth on the outcome of your remote viewing sessions, discouragement and self-doubt are the result. The more discouraged you get, the more you hate yourself. Thoughts like, “I can’t remote view my way out of a paper bag!” and “I suck!” become your inner conversations.
So, how do you become more consistent and more accurate?
Here’s how: When you practice, make the session be about curiosity. Ask yourself, “What will I learn about myself today?” Don’t let it always be about how high your accuracy scores are. Americans especially are programmed from childhood that our self-worth is dependent upon our grades in school or our test scores. It can be difficult to shift to a different mindset.
But when you make your sessions and the purpose of practicing is just to see what happens and learn from that, you’ll discover that your subconscious mind responds well to the excitement and the adventure!
You may miss the target completely one day and instead discover that your subconscious mind wants you to forgive your father for that unfair scolding he gave you when you were five years old.
Whenever a student tells me that he or she “missed a target completely”, I always say, “There is a reason for that.” It never ‘just happens’ for no reason.
The subconscious mind and practice sessions
The subconscious mind uses practice sessions (when no one’s life is at stake) to tell you things. CRV opens the door to the subconscious and gives it a voice. Your subconscious mind may have some things it needs to get off its chest. Buried memories may show up in your sessions when you least expect them.
One viewer had a warning about an impending disaster show up in a practice session! She thought she was just missing the target until subsequent events showed that her practice target had become inconsequential in the shadow of something far more important. The practice targets you miss can become the most revealing when it comes to self-discovery.
If you really want to become a consistently-accurate remote viewer, first befriend yourself. That means shifting your focus from self-perfection to self LOVE.
Love means loving yourself, warts and all. As the self-love and self-acceptance become a true habit, you’ll find that the rivalry between conscious and subconscious minds eases and accuracy is the natural result.
The contra intuitive part of this is — if you want to be a better remote viewer, stop caring so much about accuracy. Practice consistently but shift your focus from perfection to FUN. You’ll find that you will enjoy your practice sessions much more, and you’ll learn a ton from them!
Ultimately, it comes down to the questions: Why am I here? Why are you on this earth? Why were you born?
Perhaps love --- learning to love wholly and completely — is the answer.
If we are here to learn to love — which includes forgiveness and acceptance — we have to start with ourselves. Often, the questions themselves are the journey. We may never find the answers, but the journey is the ultimate goal.
Would you like to regain that sense of wonder you had as a child? To explore with wild abandon? Children never have a goal in mind when they play. They wander outside and get lost in watching ants build an anthill. There is no goal, no purpose, no expected outcome. The journey is just the wonder of the experience, itself.
I love you, and I know that whether you are a remote viewer, someone who is interested in CRV, or just my friend, this message is for you. We all need more love in our lives.
Until next time, be kind to yourself. You’ll be amazed at how your life changes.
Big hug,
Lori
This is so amazingly helpful, Lori. I’m grateful for you – for how you teach, your authenticity and vulnerability, and the grounded nature of the information. I’m so glad to be in your course.
Barbara,
Thank you so much; I really appreciate this so very much!
Love,
Lori
I really needed to hear this! Thank you.
Wonderful, Joanne! I am so glad to hear that!
Love, Lori
I appreciate the help. I know I have ability. I had a very good record in telephone support on HP printers. one time I saw a roll of paper we had sent for testing under the plotter. the woman I was talking to accused me of witchcraft!
I got here looking into enhancing my intuition. I am Seventy Eight years. Thanks for your site.
Thanks for your note, Robert! I am so happy you are working on enhancing your intuition! That is wonderful!
Big hug,
Lori
Hey Lori, great article. Just found your blog and going to enjoy reading through your posts.
I also would love to pay an affordable monthly plan, it would be perfect for me.
Also are you able to tell through intuition or even psychically whether someone has the potential to be gifted?
Hi, Gavin!
Usually, after watching a new student do his or her first session, I can tell how this student will do with CRV. It isn’t a matter of how gifted anyone is. It is more about the balance between left and right brain functions. Psychic ability is a great natural talent to have, but often, natural psychics find the structure of CRV to be frustrating. That being said, I have several students who earn their living as psychic mediums, and these students LOVE CRV. Why? Because not only do they have the strong right-brain function that allows them to be psychic, but they also have to have strong left brain functions to handle the paperwork, taxes, and other business aspects of earning a living. That means they take to the structure of CRV very well, and they find it actually enhances their abilities.
Thanks for writing!
Hugs,
Lori
I hope I get to meet you one day, Lori. You really seem like a wonderful human being.. Well, that and I hope you’ll teach me how to become a remote viewer!
Hello Lori and others
I am very interested in learning along with others and just joined very recently. I am inquiring about the videos are they closed captions or have transcripts/subtitles to serve the Deaf & Hard of hearing as well with other groups who might benefit to access learning to gain our knowledge for our spiritual awakening and guide to spread goodness to others.
Thank you.
Have a great learning experience. Looking forward to this new tools..
Hi, Jan!
What a wonderful suggestion! I will definitely look into closed captioning. We are also looking into Spanish subtitles!
Big hug,
Lori
Thank u Lori for what u r doing for humans. My life is slowly changing. I’m seeing things I never thought possible. I thank u from my whole heart. Much love
Thank you, Justin! I am so happy for you! You can stay in touch and write us with questions and comments to Info@IntuitiveSpecialists.com.
Thank..have nice day..!
I needed to hear this. Thank you for this, truly. I started out practicing RV for connecting with myself and a few other things that don’t matter.
After reading this, I see that I have been too critical of myself- the exact opposite of my initial goal.
Thank You.
This was fascinating, I definitely walked away with the gem of understanding that missed practice sessions were missed for a reason!
Self love changed the ambiance of my bathroom ….. by using self love in leaving little past reminders for the present and future, that someone loves and cares for you. Something I noticed, remembered and appreciated about walking in to this space. Setting a bath mat, towels, ready prior to a shower, preparing things for yourself a head of time, a notes, reminders, feeling touch, if required comfort yourself holding your own hand, hug yourself, caress is not only more than just thoughts and mantra words, when you actually use in to your daily actions to show yourself that you do care … and love.
We all do need more love in our lives. And to be less critical of ourselves.
Thank you for this note Lori?
I’m so glad you are spreading love.
Hi Sheryl!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment; we really appreciate the encouragement.
Hugs,
Lori
