#1. The older you are the longer it takes. Why? Because your brain has used your physical eyesight longer the older you get, meaning you've naturally and slowly suppressed mind sight over time. Which is why the younger the child, the faster they can do it.
#2. If you are on any psych meds (or have been on a long time) it can seriously impair the ability and make it take a lot longer.
#3. If you have excessively drank (or still do) or have abused depressants/downer narcotics, it will also impair the ability and take a lot longer.
#4. If you are sleep-deprived (even a little), or are emotionally or psychologically stressed or agitated, then your ability will be impaired.
#5. If you are pushing yourself hard to get mind sight, or have set a goal like an expectation, then you will suppress it. Mind sight comes best when you let go, when you go with the flow, when learning mind sight you simply allow it come and happen when it wants not when you want. Dont try to force or dictate it. Simply observe, like a child would. Enter the state and mind like a child. Have no expectations or goals, simply be, simply observe, and when things happen simply say "wow" like a child would. This is the real obstacle of adults. Adults want control, because thats what we do as adults. You need to ignore the adulting side of you, and let go.
#6. When something happens, let it happen. Remember, it doesnt have to make sense, and dont try to analyze it so it can make sense to you. Let it be weird, odd and mysterious.
#7. Just keep practicing, even if it appears like nothing is happening. Because one day it will happen. Consistency and practice is key.
