Psychometry Readings
Psychometry experiences: Have you ever held an object and felt a rush of emotions, images, or sensations flooding your mind?
If so, you might have already put psychometry in practice. It’s a fascinating psychic ability that allows individuals to perceive information about an object’s history or its owner through touch.
This blog shows you a glimpse into the fascinating world of psychometry through my personal psychometry experiences. As someone who is naturally comfortable with psychic abilities, discovering psychometry was like an exciting and game changing extension of what I could easily already do.
So it's not moving things?
My first conscious go at psychometry readings was on my psychic Facebook group during our Advanced mediumship course. This took place during lockdown, so everything was on Zoom and Facebook.
There I am, geared up to start moving objects with my mind, only to find that I had been thinking of telekinesis. They don’t even sound the same! It was a bit of a relief as I found myself effortlessly reading pictures of objects, simply by just looking at them through my screen. The objects were, revealing glimpses of their past and the emotions and people attached to them.
So psychometry is not a connection just through touch?
Most sources will give the definition of psychometry as using an object to perceive information through touch. Howeber, it’s probably more correct to say your using an object to perceive information. Full stop. That’s it.
Photographs of objects and people work just as well. Photographs of photographs also provide results. That’s because you’re connecting with the energy around the object or photograph. You’re tapping into the owner’s energy to find the history, emotion and all sorts of information surrounding that object. However, because energy is everywhere and everything is energy, objects and buildings can become contaminated with the energy of people besides the original owner. This just means that you have to have focus, ask the right questions, and you can also ask for spirit or spirit guides to assist you.
Seeing the truth: Awkward!
If you’ve already read my pages that describe my style, you’ll have worked out that I’m to the point. I know when to be direct and when to be subtle and soft, but most people come to me for my directness.
So, imagine my discomfort, when early on in the development course where we’re all new to each other, having to look into the personal history of our objects. There was a photo of a ring that I knew had been stolen before it came into great grandma’s hands, and a family portrait that strongly projected that great grandpa wasn’t a nice man at all. He was cold, mean and a cad, his wife was worn down and despised him. How on earth was I going to report back on my practice exercise with that?
From what I remember the owners of the ring and the photograph couldn’t confirm that either things were true. However, I know that they would’ve been in order for me to ‘think’ it.
Keeping an empty head
You see, in order to know that it’s my psychic or spirit talking I have to open up to it and turn my own ego and mind down. Preferably off. Otherwise I it is just me thinking things. When I’m working with my psychic energy, it’s quite natural.
I just have a knowing. I know things without having evidence or knowing how I know, so generally I know about a person or situation without really trying. It’s words, feelings and images that come to mind.
A surprise visit
However, it wasn't until a peculiar encounter with a photograph back in 2021 that I truly understood the extent of my abilities. After practicing with a few photos and reporting back to the class, in a lighthearted moment, I found myself joking with a photo, only to witness a figure from a previous image bound out of my wardrobe an important message. He had already given this particular message but he seemed more frustrated and urgent this time.
This is when it was confirmed that I am in fact a medium as well as a psychic. It wasn't something that I wanted as Hollywood has made it look like a far more scary experience than it is in reality.
Psychometry Readings: When Symbols Take Over
The bay, the clock and the tortoise
While trying to put psychometry readings into practice during lockdowns, I asked my dad if I could work on something of his. In a way, my dad is good for training as he’s the awkward guy. He’s was the unmovable sceptic at that time. My dad gave me a small plastic bag, and I was instructed not to remove the bag, and this is how it went.
Immediately I was shown a bay with seaside houses and boats on the sea. It was a side view overlooking from a height and I was moving away from it.
Aware that I was in a car, I was travelling down country roads, passed farm houses and fields. In the corner of the picture in my mind I could see a tortoise and a pocket watch. My dad said that he had a tortoise when he was a kid, but nope, this wasn’t about a tortoise or a pocket watch.
I just kept repeating the same scenarios and because he couldn’t take it, we couldn’t move on.
My dad announced that I wasn’t even close, then revealed that his friend had handed him the object last. It contained written directions describing a shortcut so my parents could get home much sooner.
His friend had said that the way they had always travelled was slower and longer.
These written instructions were for a trip from a house on the coast in Devon up to to a house in the midlands.
What could I take from this?
So when talking about my psychometry readings and experiences, this was another lesson for me in how spiritual symbols can make it easier and also make it harder to do a reading. As time goes on you get to know what your own symbols are. It's just they can throw you a curve ball. So rather than being a clock and tortoise belonging to my dad at some point in the past they represented the scenes along the journey, speed and time. The journey is now quicker and they save time, and get home earlier. My dad still wouldn't have it. He argued that not once did I say it was a written set of directions from his friend. He's not wrong. I didn't, and to be fair, to have received that as a vision would have been easier.
Why is it so difficult?
Do you have any thoughts on why we can’t just be whispered to with the words “it’s a note from my friend with faster directions to get home. It’s the last thing that he gave him”? Why not make it quicker by just flashing up his friend and the paper with directions on?
It’s a conversation/debate I’ve had many times and not just when putting psychometry in practice. Some mediums love their symbols, some find it a confusing mess of images that relate to the client and some that could be just meaningful to medium. When practicing I had occasions like, “you’ve bought a beachball”. “No? Oh that must be one of mine then – make a note, beachball means holiday”.
A lot of the image confusion will have been to do with the fact that I was really early into my development. I hadn’t worked out questions to ask or the meaning of the symbols. Now, it’s pretty obvious what a tortoise and a clock together means. Put it in with driving away from the coast into the country side and voila!
It's as clear as day!
This is the point! We are given images and symbols in psychometry readings because it’s the fastest way to get a message or situation across. Similarly when I was looking at the photo of the family, I wasn’t seeing smiles. I was seeing distain and feeling arrogance, there was just a knowing of what this person was like. With knowing it kind of goes straight to your stomach. Have you ever felt that you’re so sure of something that the feeling comes from the pit of your stomach?
Experienced mediums will have information flowing out of them like a waterfall. They have got it down with their own psychic working and their spirit team. Even then it can be a jumble of images, symbols and spoken words that they are receiving, they just know what they mean and it’s as clear as day.
Mysteries and histories
These experiences serve as testament to the profound insights that psychometry can offer. It’s not just about reading objects; it’s about tapping into the energy imprints left behind, uncovering hidden truths, and deciphering spiritual symbols and messages. It’s a boost to help a connection and an amplifier of the feeling inside a situation.
As I continue to worth with psychometry readings, I’m always excited about the mysteries and histories, waiting to be unravelled and heard. Each object holds a story, and it’s a privilege to be the conduit through which those stories are told.
