Knowing any facts about the history of a location or information about an object, can often validate evidence collected from paranormal investigations, including apparitions or voices. Spiritual theorists believe psychometry may provide the means to find the facts or answers to these questions.
Psychometry is the most common term given to the alleged ability, or the extrasensory perception of, being able to discover information or facts about an event, person or inanimate object, simply by making physical contact with the associated objects. The theory is, people are made up entirely of energy and this energy leaves an energetic or psychic imprint on the objects touched. For humans still living, we refer to this as their aura, and for those that have passed, these psychic imprints may manifest, present as residual hauntings, or simply stay imprinted in the inanimate object. The knowledge embedded in the energetic or psychic imprint is then transferred to the person holding or touching the object. People who can perform this skill are often referred to as 'empaths'.
Have you ever picked up an item, touched a person or object and experienced a Deja Vu moment, an overwhelming emotion, seen an image or even had a thought which seemed random and not related to your current line of thought? If so, you may be in fact experiencing this extrasensory perception ability of psychometry.
So how do you know if you have this skill? Can you learn it?
Well, the answer is yes, with practice.
There are some identifying features or situations that will help distinguish whether you may be inclined to perform psychometry, or at least identify that, with practice, you may be able to develop the skill of psychometric reading.
The most common ways to identify if there is a predisposition to reading an object's energy or a possession of psychometric ability are:
- you avoid touching old metal objects, especially items like chains, gates, shields and swords as metal objects tend to hold more energy and hence, you feel 'different' when you pick up older metal objects
- antique stores make you feel uneasy or give off a weird vibe or feeling. You may find yourself getting fidgety, uncomfortable and you do not want to touch any of the items or furniture that is on display
- you find it difficult to own used furniture and feel uncomfortable around it or sitting in it
- you feel uncomfortable in a room or space with too many objects, or a space that is cluttered, especially if the room is full of older vintage or antique style items
- you feel the urge to sage cluttered spaces or rooms in older homes
- you can not wear or buy used or second-hand clothing and hated the 'hand-me-downs'
- you do not like looking at old pictures or you feel overwhelmed and emotional when you look at them
- you can not wear pre-owned jewellery or feel the urge to cleanse any used jewellery that you have or wear
- second hand or opportunity shops make you feel overwhelmed and uneasy and you do not usually buy items of a second-hand nature
- you feel the need to wash your hands after you have touched or picked up a second hand item
Don't feel disillusioned if you are comfortable with some or all of the above, you can still develop the ability of psychometry through determined practice. With the right amount of concentration, empathy and focus, you can learn how to, and improve your ability in performing a psychometric reading.
So, to improve the skill in psychometry, I strongly suggest working through a regular routine. It may take months before validated and accurate readings occur, but once skills are honed, this will be a valuable asset to use when investigating. Even the most experienced readers have inaccuracies, but what is imortant, is to keep trying and improving the number of accurate readings to that of
- Set up an EVP recorder, or have someone scribe responses
- Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. You want to ensure that no energy is left on your hands that may interfere with your reading.
- Rub your hands together to create friction, warm them up and create static energy (this can be tested by placing your palms parallel, about a centimetre apart and sensing whether you feel a sensation, like a denseness or energy between your palms)
- Centre yourself by taking deep breaths and relax
- Close your eyes and focus on your senses. What can you hear, see, smell and taste?
- Move the focus down to your hands and the energy within your hands.
- Pick up the item you are wishing to read.
- Imagine the object is an extension of your hand. Shift your awareness to the object and the object only.
- Open yourself up and allow emotions, memories, images and thoughts to enter your mind
- Ask yourself questions in your mind or out loud
- who was/is the owner of the object?
- show me the emotions, memories and experiences the owner had while using/wearing this object.
- is the owner still alive or have they passed?
- Say out loud any impressions and thoughts that come to your mind. Say anything you see, hear, feel, smell or taste.
If you are reading a piece of jewellery or photo, the owner may be able to validate your responses for accuracy. With time, emotions, memories, thoughts and impressions will become stronger and more detailed.
Best items to start working on psychometric ability are:
- Jewellery (preferably someone you are not close to, so that you can test your reading without bias)
- Metal objects like swords, platters, shields, chains, family heirlooms
- Photos
- Diaries, books
- Homes, especially the walls in old buildings
- Furniture, armchairs, desks
- Toys, dolls, blankets - toys can contain information about emotional and mental states, especially if the child has a favourite toy that they kept with them all the time
Remember, psychometry is meant to be fun and with practice, can be an effective, interesting and no cost tool in your paranormal investigating repertoire of methodologies.
