Psychometry
Psychometry is the ability to
read the history of certain objects by holding the
object in your hand or placing it to your forehead.
Usually small personal objects such as a watch, ring,
key or other personal objects are the best. People
with the ability to scry this way are called
Psychometrist. The term psychometry was invented in
1842 by J R Buchanan.
Buchanan experimented with some students from Cincinati
medical school and found that when certain students where
given an unmarked bottle of medicine they had the same
reaction as if they had taken the medicine. Buchanan
developed the theory that all things give off an emination.
These eminations contained a sort of record of the history
of the object.
Buchanan believed that objects recorded senses and emotions
and these could be played back in the mind of the
psychometric scryer. Some theosophists attempt to explain
psychometry in terms of the Akashic records. Psychometrists
usually scry in a normal state of mind. In other words
there is no preparation needed or any need for trance, etc.
Scryers are sometimes unable to hold certain objects
because of that objects past. For example if the object had
been used in a violent crime.
In some cases if a scryer has been handed an object of
someone who recently died of illness the scryer may suffer
from symptoms of the illness. Psychometric impressions may
come in the form of emotions, sounds, scents, tastes or
images.
The visions are usually very rapid in nature. The visual
images occur with no logical sequences. Psychometrists
usually experience a loss of energy and an increase in body
temperature when scrying. Some scryers report an irregular
heartbeat.
It is generally thought that psychometry is a natural power
of the human mind, but some people believe that it is
controlled by spiritual beings. Some scryers feel that they
act as an instrument and that the spirits do the actual
scrying.
