nothing that might be perceived as frightening or distasteful to the viewer. This is an important point, since you would not want to violate your viewer's unconditional trust of you or the process.
Write your name on the top of your page together with, "Target for today's date xx/yy/zz. I can do remote viewing." This is your affirmation for success. After twenty or thirty remote viewings, you can think about skipping this if you want to, but always write "Target for today's date," as an indication of your seriousness of purpose.
Your friend can then sit with you in a dimly lit room, with pen and paper, and tell you that she has "an object that needs a description." You should then close your eyes, relax for a couple of minutes, and tell her about your mental pictures relating to the object, starting with the very first fragmentary shapes or forms. These first psychic bits are the most important shapes that you will see. You should make little sketches of these images as they come to view, even though they don't make sense, and are not objects. Your hand may make little movements in the air over the paper  notice them and describe what your subliminal mind is trying to tell you. Take a break, and remember to breathe after each new picture comes into view. You should then look again, and hopefully you will be given another bit, or perhaps the same one again. You should continue this process until no new bits come to you. The whole process should not take more than ten to fifteen minutes. Remember: To be right, you have to be willing to be wrong. This is where the issue of trust is so important.
Since your interviewer in these beginning exercises already knows what the target is, she is very limited in what she can say to you. However, if you say that the object is like a tube of lipstick, for example, she can ask you, "Why is it like a tube of lipstick? What are you seeing that makes you think of lipstick?" She, of course, shouldn't give you any suggestions. Basically, all the interviewer can say in this situation is, "Tell me more." In a laboratory trial, of course, the interviewer has no knowledge of either the chosen target, or other items in the target pool. Often before I end a session, I will ask a viewer, "What is that recurrent thing that you are seeing, but not telling me about?"
