One of my favorite books on remote viewing was written just three years later (1930). This book is titled Mental Radio and was written by the American novelist and social activist, Upton Sinclair. It describes a series of experiments he conducted over a period of three years with his psychic wife, Mary Craig Sinclair (MCS). Although the Sinclairs refer to the phemonenon they studied as telepathy, modern readers will recognize it as pure RV. Mental Radio has descriptions of over 100 sessions the Sinclairs conducted. Chapter 21 of this book provides a detailed description by MCS on her method for remote viewing. It can be summarized simply as relaxing the mind and body and entering a slighty-meditative state and then simply describing the mental images one develops.

Some of the best remote viewers involved in the early RV research at SRI and the government's RV program--Pat Price, Hella Hammid, and Joe McMoneagle--all used unstructured methods. Russell Targ, both in his books (such as Mind Race and Limitless Mind) and workshops (which I have attended twice) strongly advocates a "keep it simple" approach, stating "All that is necessary to remote view is to quiet the mental chatter and describe the images which come to mind."
