Psychometry
is the ability to obtain information by psychic means by touching
or handling an object. The term psychometry literally means soul
measurement. The word is coined from the Greek: psyche-soul and
metron-measure. Psychometry is also called object-reading. In
a general sense, psychometry can be considered a facet of clairvoyance.
The
pioneer researcher in this field was J. Rhodes Buchanan (1814-1899).
He coined the word psychometry. Buchanan believed that some emanation
was given off by all substances including the human body and sensitives
were able to feel and get certain psychic impressions.
How
do I do Psychometry?
We
use psychometry in our classes to help people become comfortable
with receiving and interpreting impressions. To give a message
to someone using psychometry, you must first have an object which
has their vibration on it. This should be an object which they
wear or have with them often and which is not handled by other
people. A piece of jewellery is often best.
Hold
the object in your hand, take a few deep breathes and close your
eyes. Become aware of any emotions or impressions that move through
your mind. Look for images or symbols. Sometimes impressions are
literal and sometimes they are symbolic. Feelings and emotions
are often easiest to perceive. Do not dismiss what you receive
as imaginings. Listen to your guidance and trust it .
After
a few minutes share your impressions with the object's owner.
People are often amazed at how accurate these impressions are.
Remember to relax and ask for only constructive messages.
