The key to improving your psychometric skills is to practise on a regular basis. First choose a like-minded friend to work with you on this development. If possible, work from your home. Choose a room where you will not be disturbed, preferably a room with no television or telephone.

Get your friend to choose an object whose origin you are unaware of. Hold the object in the palm of your hand, move it around and touch all the way around the object until you begin to sense an energy or a feeling come over you. Start to talk to them about what you see or feel when you begin to understand what you are picking up and are able to put it in a coherent order.

The impressions that you can pick up from psychometry are limitless. Always structure and keep what you see as practical as possible so the person who you are reading for understands what you are telling them. You may see images that appear not to have any physical relevance, such as an animal or a picture of a sunset or a raging fire. These images could symbolize the person’s emotional or spiritual life and indicate an interpretation rather than a prediction.

1 THE OWNER

Talk about the character of the object’s owner, how you see them. Just guess and go with your instinct. Are they tall, small, male, female, old or young? The colour of their hair, eyes and any physical disabilities, etc.

2 THE PAST

Next focus on their past – childhood, relationships, family, siblings, and any births or deaths that have ocurred in the family.

3 LIFE HISTORY

Gradually move forward in time and pick up their current profession, emotional relationships, marriages, children, etc.

4 THE PRESENT

Keep going until you reach the present and then describe events that have recently happened, the car they drive, their home, their profession and family life.

Note: when you open up your sensitivity, you must then close down afterwards (see Psychic Protection, pages 92–105).

Images that come through from the psychic realms have their own linear level so it requires a grounded and practical mind to discern all the symbols and images. This takes the most practice, as you need to know when you are actually picking information up or when it is your imagination interpreting something else.

Later, when you learn about the development of other psychic gifts, such as mediumship and clairvoyance, you will understand the importance of getting your impressions into a workable order. The work you do now is the cornerstone of the clear, concise and evidential clairvoyance that marks a good psychic. Students who come to my psychic awareness workshops work hard at developing their psychometric skills so after a few months of laborious practice they are able to move on naturally to reading auras and communicating with the spirit world.

Once you have practised psychometry a few times with familiar people try using it with someone you do not know – this will really test your skill.
