Psychometry – the supposed ability to discover facts about an event or person from inanimate objects associated with them. Oxford English Dictionary.
Psychometry must not be confused with psychometric testing, which some companies use in their recruitment process. Psychometry is a psychic thing!
Many psychics and mediums use this particular method of divination, especially when giving a private reading. It is often a very interesting, and yet relatively easy way, to glean information, but it does have its drawbacks.
If the item you are given to psychometerise once belonged to someone else, you may find the vibrations of the earlier owner are still on it. This could lead to a lot of negative responses from the sitter. They may well not know anything about the earlier owner’s life.
Of course it may work well if you take a recently passed loved one’s watch or jewelry, or other possession. You may want the medium to tell you something about them. In this case you would know about the person’s life and will therefore recognise the message.
The psychic or medium takes hold of an item, any item will do except something made of pure silk. Silk being the one thing we know of that does not hold onto vibrations.
Preferably the item will have had just the one owner. The medium then tunes in their sixth sense to the vibrations held on the item. This may sound weird and spooky but it is a very simple and straight forward thing for a medium to do.
Every object holds vibrations and all the vibrations give off energy which is full of information. The information gleaned from it may be about the owner of the item or about the history of the piece or, an amalgamation of both.
Psychometry is sometimes used whilst the medium adjusts to the person for whom they are giving the reading. Basically this means whilst they tune in. Especially if they are giving several readings in succession. It gives a breathing space in which to adjust the level of consciousness.
Flowers or foliage are often used for psychometric purposes. It is always best when giving a flower reading to ask that the sitter picks the flower themselves and lets no one else touch it. The flower will then only hold the vibrations of the owner. Don’t buy a flower from a florist or you may end up getting the florist’s reading!
A really good reading using psychometry would begin with the reading of vibrations from an object or flower and continue into a a mediumistic reading, when the medium has settled down and tuned into the spirits. When the spirit communication begins to flow, the object is no longer needed.
Flower services are sometimes held at churches but not on Sunday, when it is a Divine service.
