She now lives in Nevada where she is a writer, researcher, and teacher. Currently, Dr. Smith’s interests and research are concentrated in the field of human consciousness where she is exploring mind-matter interaction (psychokinesis) and remote perception (remote viewing): exploring the "footprints" of human consciousness.

Distance Education in Remote Viewing: RV Education for the 21st Century.

Remote viewing (RV) is a trained mental faculty that allows an individual (a remote viewer) to describe a target location, event, or object that is hidden from the normal senses by distance, time, or other shielding. A trained remote viewer can access information from the past, the present, and the future with equal success. There are many students who want to take a remote viewing course but, because of time and other restrictions, cannot do so. On-site courses are expensive in terms of fees, travel, hotels, and other costs such as time away from your job and family. This type of course is especially helpful for students who are abroad, have a career that they cannot interrupt, or who are home-bound. [more]

Introduction to Parapsychology

This course will educate the student in the fundamentals of parapsychology, its history, key people in the field, major theories and discoveries, and includes examples and exercises for students to explore their own abilities. [more]

Introduction to Out-Of-Body-Experiences (OBEs)

An OBE is an experience in which a person seems to perceive the world from a location outside their physical body. In this state they can see and hear events and conversations that cannot be perceived from their actual physical location. It has been estimated that 1 in 20 individuals may have an OBE during their lifetime. Many individuals would like to recreate the experience and have OBEs at will. This course will give you the history, resources, examples, and exercises so that you too may be able to experience an OBE. [more]

While our current scientific paradigm does not include the study of shamanism, this fascinating vocation is commonly accepted in many cultures of the world. There is a need in our modern society to reconnect with this valuable ability, that can enrich both ourselves and our communities. This course will introduce the student to the fundamentals of shamanism, some of the researchers, historical text, modern examples, and exercises that give the student an introduction to the field of shamanism.
