Remote viewing is a somewhat complex process. Isolation from distractions and possible environmental "clues" is essential to insure greater accuracy. For this reason, eye masks and pink noise are often used to cut down the level of outside stimulation. There are a few different styles and types of these tools, but their use is essentially the same.

Uses of Eye Masks

There have traditionally been a number of reasons a person might want to cut down on excess visual stimulation. Someone who suffers from insomnia might find that something as simple as cutting down on the level of light he or she perceives helps them to sleep. Especially for city dwellers, this can be a very helpful tool.

In the realm of psychic development or extended intuition, sensory deprivation or reduction can be quite useful. Extended periods of sensory deprivation, alone, are known to stimulate psychic abilities. Many programs and training methods use some form of this as part of the training process. Eye masks can help create this type of state or are useful for invoking a mild form of it, say when a person is sitting in a chair.

This type of sensory reduction forces the individual to rely entirely on their inner perceptions. As a result, this can greatly improve accuracy and speed the learning process. The fact that ancient religious rituals were sometimes held in caves indicates that this kind of technique has been known and used by humanity for thousands of years in the context of spiritual development.
