Psychics may hold an item of your jewellery or keys to help connect to your energy. This is known as psychometry. This can be done for any item, even an item of clothing, a picture or a person\u2019s signature. Metal items are preferred.<\/p>\n
Psychometry uses clairsentience (clear feeling) when you tune into the energy of an item that you are holding. You may either pick up on the energy of the item or the energy that is connected to the owner or to previous owners of the item. Psychometry may also be referred to as clairtangency (clear touching). If you are clairsentient, you are sensitive to other\u2019s energy. You may know when someone is upset, without them telling you.<\/p>\n
Joseph Buchanan was an American physician and physiologist. He defined psychometry in the 1840s as token object reading, a form of extrasensory perception. Associations are made with an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object. Supporters of Buchanan agreed that an object may have an energy field that transfers knowledge regarding that object\u2019s history. Sceptics believed that there was no scientific basis to psychometry.<\/p>\n
You may practice psychometry by exchanging an item with a friend and tuning into the energy of these items. Clear your mind first and then pick up the item and start tuning into the energy. Write down what you pick up and exchange and discuss with each other. You may pick up something as soon as you touch the item, or it may come to you after tuning in. Either is fine. Be open to receiving any messages and how you receive them. When tuning in you may feel hot or cold, you may see or hear colours, numbers, or a location. You may have skin irritation or feel the object move in your hand. In summary, you may sense, see, smell, know, hear, feel, or taste something.<\/p>\n
Like anything in life, you will get better at psychometry with practice. Be open minded. Practice on friends or family. You could even practice with pets by holding their collar. You could practice mediumship by holding an item of a passed love one. Your perspective may change as you develop your psychic abilities, so be open to the signs. You may notice more synchronicity or coincidences. Practice and be patient with yourself. Have fun along the way.<\/p>\n
