How to Do the CE5 Protocol: Contact with a Clear Thought and an Open Heart

Quick answer: CE5 (Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind) is human-initiated contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, a protocol developed by Dr. Steven Greer. To do it, relax deeply, fill your heart with love, and then send a very clear thought: a sequence of pictures that zooms from Earth seen from space down to your continent, country, city, neighborhood, home and the room you’re in. This is called vectoring. From that open-hearted state, sense an ET craft with your consciousness, invite the beings to visit, and close by thanking them. You can practice it indoors or outdoors, anywhere in the world.

Mira Kelley guides the whole process step by step in her recorded class The UFO Connection.

What is the CE5 protocol?

CE5 stands for Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind. Dr. Steven Greer, a retired physician, founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) in 1990. CSETI defines a CE5 as contact with extraterrestrial intelligence that humans initiate themselves. Seeing a light in the sky is one thing. A CE5 is a deliberate invitation.

Dr. Greer’s own story is featured in the 2020 documentary Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind: Contact Has Begun, directed by Michael Mazzola. Mira asked her class to watch it first. “There were two stories in that movie that really stood out for me,” she says. The first was Dr. Greer’s experience as a young man, when he felt a touch on his shoulder and was able to communicate with an ET presence. That encounter led to “the CE5 protocol, the protocol we are using today.”

What moved Mira about that story is how personal it was. Contact can be a relationship you feel, as well as something you see.

Do you need to travel anywhere to make contact?

No. “We’re not traveling through space and time,” Mira explains. “Our bodies will be where we are, where we’re sitting, where we’re lying.” Contact happens “within us, what’s already available, what’s already present,” and it simply asks you to pay more attention in that direction.

Mira compares it to quantum entanglement, the experiment in which two photons are created together as twins and sent to different parts of the universe. When the polarization of one changes, the other changes immediately. In the same way, she says, “that which we’re seeking to experience, it immediately is available for us to connect with.”

Later in the class, she puts it in one line: “Every point in space, every point in time is within you.”

Can you do CE5 indoors or in a city?

Yes. Traditional CE5 groups often meet outdoors under a dark sky. Mira led this class from home, and she lives, in her words, in a “heavily urbanized” environment. “It’s not a problem,” she says. You can stay inside or take the process outside, whichever you prefer.

She also believes contact is a skill anyone can develop: “The ability to create that connection is very easily trainable.”

What are the two keys to CE5 contact?

Mira teaches two elements that make the protocol work.

Key 1: An open heart

The first is to come from an open-hearted place, a state of bliss, connection and grace. Mira calls it heart coherence, “the emotional charge of love and openness.”

That love is the signal. As she guides you, she intentionally builds love in your heart, and her advice is simple: “Don’t hold back. Definitely go for it.”

Key 2: A very clear thought

The second element is “the clear thought, the very, very, very clear thought.” In CE5, this means clearly imagining where you are and directing the consciousness of the beings you’re contacting to focus on you. Dr. Greer’s group calls its version of this visualization Coherent Thought Sequencing.

The trick, Mira says, is that “you got to think in pictures.” Telling yourself in words that you’re in the U.S. won’t do it. You imagine the map and the globe and then focus in, because your subconscious communicates “through symbols and through pictures.”

How do you vector ETs to your location?

Vectoring is the heart of the clear thought. You give directions with images, one after another, each closer than the last. Here is how Mira teaches it:

1. See Earth from above. Picture the planet as it looks from space.
2. Turn to your continent. Spin the globe in your mind until you’re looking at North America, Europe, Asia or wherever you are.
3. Zoom in on your country.
4. Zoom in on your region and city. Mira’s own example moves to the West Coast and then to Los Angeles.
5. Zoom in on your neighborhood. See it from above.
6. Zoom in on your building or home.
7. See the room. Picture the layout of your home and exactly where you’re sitting or standing.

“An image after an image, zooming and zooming and zooming,” as Mira describes it. In the class she has everyone rehearse it with eyes closed before the trance begins, then repeat the coordinates three times during contact so the directions are unmistakable.

Why does specificity matter?

During the class, a participant recalled a story from the documentary. A man meditating on a mountaintop showed the ETs his hometown and then the place he lived at the time, and he later learned they had shown up in his hometown. The point the class took from it: the beings follow the pictures you send, so be precise.

How does feeling change what you send?

Mira links clear emotion to the power of consciousness with two experiments she loves.

In the first, shown in the documentary, a plant sits in a room with a light controlled by a random number generator. The plant’s need for light appeared to affect where the “random” light fell.

The second involves baby chicks that had bonded with a small robot. Mira’s takeaway always makes her smile: “If little chickens can do it, you can do it.”

She returns to the chicks at the moment of invitation. Just as the chicks drew the robot toward them, you extend your invitation with excitement, gratitude and loving appreciation, feeling the beings being pulled toward you.

What happens during the guided CE5 meditation?

The core of The UFO Connection is a long guided trance. Here is its arc so you know what to expect.

Deep relaxation

You settle in (an eye mask helps) and let your body rest while your mind stays focused and awake. Mira invites a feeling of “complete surrender, being held by the universe.”

Building love in the heart

You slow your breath to bring your heart and brain into coherence, breathe in and out through your heart center, and then “fluff up” and stretch that heart energy with your awareness. To make it bigger, you recall:

• a child you love or a pet you adore
• a time you felt lucky, blessed and supported
• a mystical moment when you felt awe

An empty, open mind

Next you picture “a big empty space behind your eyes.” Any thoughts that come through become clouds that drift in and drift out. “You don’t have to follow those thoughts,” Mira reminds you. Then she invites you to play and pretend like a child, and to step outside the person you think you are.

Perceiving an ET craft

In a deeper, highly focused trance, your consciousness becomes “a tool of perception.” You use it “to discover, to feel, sense, to know where this ET craft is,” and Mira describes this as creating “a safe channel.”

Connecting and vectoring

You connect with the beings inside the craft and “create a relationship” with them. Then you ask them to visit. Mira guides you to connect with their communication system, “knowing that their consciousness is entangled and integrated with their communication system,” and to send your coordinates in pictures: Earth, continent, country, city, neighborhood, home, room.

Time together

Mira then stops speaking for several minutes so you can be with the beings, communicate and share the experience.

Closing and returning

You share final thoughts, give your coordinates one more time, thank them, and “make an appointment to see one another soon.” Then you travel back down the same path to your body, feeling the air on your skin and wiggling your fingers and toes.

How does telepathy work with ETs?

In the Q&A, Mira shares what taught her the nature of telepathy. A friend of hers who works as an animal communicator explained that she succeeds with animals because she communicates in images. Mira noticed she would see whatever her friend was describing before her friend finished speaking.

Her conclusion: real telepathy is a picture carried by feeling. “I picture the image of a fork in my head and I send it over with the emotion,” she says. That’s exactly what vectoring does. You send images of your location charged with the strong love you built up first.

“It always operates,” Mira adds. “It’s a matter of how well we allow ourselves to use the channel of communication.” She encourages using this method everywhere, with animals and with people.

What did people experience in the class?

Participants described a wide range of experiences. These are their own reports, shared in the circle:

• One felt as if someone were touching their head, then saw beings on a ship, including a guide they already knew.
• A participant in London said that if they met an ET in a local park, they would now have “absolutely no fear.”
• A participant in Nottingham saw orange and red egg-timer shapes and felt light flowing into their heart and down into the ground. They sensed the beings “were like trying to help Mother Earth” and told them, “You feel sacred.”
• Another saw two ships and two visitors with four digits on their hands, who placed their hands on theirs and said, “Same same, we’re the same.”
• One participant said nothing special happened during the session, and another noted that, after an earlier circle, experiences arrived later that night or week.

Every experience is different, and there’s no right way for contact to look.

What if contact feels uncomfortable?

One participant saw beings resembling praying mantises, felt something was off, and pulled back, then turned to beings that felt calm and safe. Mira’s response was to meet that unease with love. She suggested treating the unsettling image as part of your own field that wants to be loved and reassured: send love, “bring them home,” and then be done with it.

The circle also stressed intention. One participant recommended being clear that you invite only benevolent contact, and another uses an intention for the highest good of all. A third reminded everyone that contact can be mutual, so it’s worth asking, “What can I offer to you?” Mira loved this and said she would include it as a prompt in future circles.

Tips for your first CE5 session

1. Begin with love. Spend real time filling your heart before you send anything.
2. Practice vectoring first. Rehearse the zoom from Earth to your room until it feels easy.
3. Set your intention. Invite only benevolent beings, for the highest good of all.
4. Ask what you can offer. Make it a relationship.
5. Stay open to form. As one participant noted, beings may not travel in the kind of craft we picture from movies and TV.
6. Close with an appointment. Thank them and agree to meet again.
7. Repeat it. One participant said they planned to listen to the recording again right away to go deeper.
