PSYCHOMETRY

The word psychometry comes from the Greek (Psyche and Metron) signifying soul measure. Psychometry may be described as the power to sense the condition of things, when the medium's mind is brought into contact with the object held. It can also be described as the divination of facts concerning an object, or its owner, through contact with it.

After its introduction and success in New York by Professor James Buchanan, news spread to England, France and Germany. It took a while to take root in England after its advent; but people that possessed the gift soon began to practice it, influencing many with their messages, and it gradually gained acceptance in European society as well.

Before I go further, it is necessary to understand that all people and objects give out an aura. While auras are not the subject under discussion, it is necessary to explain that an aura is an electro-magnetic force field which holds all things together. This force, also gives off signals and reflects the state of the individual being read, or of the object being used in a psychometric reading.

Therefore, an article being psychometrized can reflect the physical or mental state of the individual, as well as provide insight into the sitter's questions, fears, etc. This magnetic force also provides the link (or the source) between the object, the sitter and the medium during the reading.

How To Develop

To be a successful psychometrist, one must have a delicate touch, so as to be able to distinguish between various sensations and be able to receive impressions transmitted from the article.

1. The best way to do this is:
a) Get a number of small articles.
b) Handle these specimens about three times a week.
c) Concentrate on them.
d) Learn them by heart, close your eyes and experience the sensations or vibrations that the items will transmit to you.

For example, a piece of gold ore may have come from a specific country or place. You may start seeing, on your mental screen, the source of its origin. A piece of cloth, if imported, may also give out its source of origin.

Bear in mind that many textile workers or tradesmen, when buying a particular cloth or fabric, will take a piece of this fabric between their fingers and rub it ..... they can tell the quality of the merchandise by what they are feeling with the tips of their fingers. (PSYCHOMETRY) Other professionals such as surgeons, watchmakers, engravers, artists, hairdressers, all have a highly developed sense of touch. Most, however, take it for granted and never stop to think they might not be able to work in their profession if this sense of touch was not so highly developed or refined.

Blind people provide the best example of how psychometry works. Because they cannot see with their physical eyes, their sense of touch is highly developed. The sightless can get an impression of a person by touching his face; they get impressions of objects or equipment by feeling them. This force lives with and in them. We are familiar with popular musicians -- Ray Charles, Jose Feliciano, Stevie Wonder -- who have become famous despite blindness, but for every one of these celebrities there are thousands of other sightless people who not only function but achieve comparable success in lesser known fields.

2. Once you learn to analyze your feelings with regard to the different objects, you begin to learn the reason for the feeling and not the effect. Almost anything can be psychometrized. If you fail to receive any influences you must persevere.

3. If you cannot feel any vibration in your hand, you must put the object close to the center of your forehead and concentrate for a few minutes. You will soon be able to perceive various influences.

It is best to take particular notice of anything you do not understand. Study it very carefully and compare it with other influences. Focus on the unusual. The key most probably lies in the relationship of the new feeling to a more familiar experience.

4. You should set aside a special time and the sitting should last about one hour. Be very quiet, grasp any article in a gentle manner and let the sensations travel to your brain via your nervous system. This will put you into contact with the person whose article you are holding or who is being read. Remember:

Rule #1 -- Always give out your first impression. It will generally be correct.

Rule #2 -- You must speak out and not be afraid of any influence. The more you tell, the more successful you will be.

Rule # 3 -- Do not keep anything back, you may be sorry you did. Mention any influences you perceive, whether you feel it will hurt the sitter's feelings or not. You don't have to be rude, just honest. In doing so, you may be able to alert the person of a calamity - or of an opportunity.
