You have the option to gain certification to work with children + adults or, adults only.

What is the ideal age for children to learn blindfolded sight?
The ideal age range is 6 to 9 yrs of age.
Children younger than 6 years generally learn easily but many find remaining focussed challenging. If you can, it’s best to start children at a young age and continue working with them for years to come. I encourage families learn to practice together. Many people who take the Original Sight Practitioner Training do it so they can teach their own children on a regular basis.
Children over the age of 9 generally find it more challenging to learn blindfolded sight but most can. They may take longer to gain the skills and require more practice and healing.
Will I personally learn to see without eyes as part of the OS Practitioner Training?
I cannot accurately predict that. On average about 1 in 4 adults who take the Original Sight Practitioner Training open to the point of being able to see letters and read words. Nearly all learn to see colours and some images as well as to sense light, shadow and movement.
Without going into a lot of detail, I noticed that adults who learned to read were very heart-based people and/or were from parts of the world where the energy is lighter or if I may say, the consciousness is higher.
If your light does open during the training, then you will need to practice regularly, preferably every day to maintain and further develop the ability. Generally, a lot of self-discipline and commitment is required.
Where exactly is the course held?
I rent different teaching spaces depending on the size of the class. I strive for good clear energetic space to do this work and prefer countryside locations to receive maximum support from nature.

Are there any prerequisites for taking Original Sight Practitioner Training?
I ask all students to read my book first to gain a basic familiarity with the work. This frees up more class time for practice and allows for a deeper experience.
You need police clearance to work with children so you cannot have a criminal record. Most countries police do a simple background check that can be completed online for low cost. In Canada it is called a Vulnerable Sector Check and costs $71.72 CAN (2025).
You need to be an emotionally mature, grounded, compassionate individuals.
Having a spiritual practice such as meditation or energy work is an asset.
Who teaches the course?
Myself, Karen Osborne, in English. I am the originator of the Original Sight Program and author of the book ‘Original Sight, A Blindfolded Sight Manual for Accessing Your True Potential.”
I have more than 10 years of experience offering sessions to adults and children and have been a practitioner trainer for more than 9 years. I outline my personal history with this work in my book.
I have been a healer and spiritual teacher for more than 30 years.
Are participants, especially children, usually able to read, walk, or even ride a bicycle blindfolded after receiving several OS Sessions?
Most children can see colours and read text during their first session.
I usually teach children to walk during session 2 or 3, sometimes session 1. We always practice safety first when learning to physically navigate indoor or outdoor environments while blindfolded.
Is your methodology based on skin vision, energy work, neuroplasticity, or another approach?
My methodology works with human consciousness. I feel this is where we can access the greatest potential as consciousness has no limits. The practice includes a meditation for grounding and expanding consciousness, working with energy, shamanic practices and most importantly, a powerful healing method for purifying one's being.
I think that if you read my book, you will have a good idea of where I'm coming from. My goal is to teach children about the unseen world of energy - how to perceive and work with energy and apply higher consciousness abilities and skills in daily life. I want to empower them to achieve maximum healing and to develop their abilities to live their highest truth and chosen path.
