Orloff in the previous section, or use some other brief meditation technique to relax yourself. Now you are ready to describe any bodily sensations, feelings, or experiences that pertain to the person described in the envelope. I prefer to speak aloud all my feelings and responses, rather that writing them down. I keep my eyes closed while my partner makes notes for me. Part Two: The Visual Stage In this phase, "visually" scan the body of the person in your mind's eye. I always scan from top to bottom, but I find in the literature that everybody else scans from the bottom up, in the order in which chakras are usually described.

You may feel sensation in places you never even knew existed. This is good. From my long friendship with Judith, I would describe her as a loving, peaceful person longing to be quietly in touch with the Divine. There is an empathic element in the physical body of the intuitive, as well as a visual diagnostic aspect. In addition to her natural empathy and psychiatric training, Judith has extensive experience as a remote viewer. She is in touch with the phenomenology of discerning the psychic signal from the mental noise.

Other trainers, such as Prudence Calabrese at Trans Dimensional Systems or Wayne Carr at the Western Institute of Remote Viewing, take a more holistic approach. The right-brained (or non-analytical) approach to the same reading I just described might stress feelings of fullness or even pain (which I did not report). It would definitely include impressions of the person's mental and emotional states (how the patient's life was going and what was weighing on that person's mind). One might sense a systemic problem and suggest that it be looked at by a doctor.
