Psychometry, Can it be developed? Options

Psychometry is an alleged psychic power which enables one to divine facts by handling objects. Commonly, the psychic handles some jewelry or clothing, claims to be able to see or feel the object's aura, and begins shotgunning. Many psychic detectives claim to have psychometric powers.

I'm wondering if this skill can be developed and what are the occult concepts and philosophy behind it.

Well I think I can add some good info to this:

From my experiments with sensing things from objects I describe the sensation as "picking up a vibe". Basically this falls along the lines of string theory that all atoms and sub-atomic particles are composed of mutating and vibrating strings, or strands of pure energy. Each type of object vibrates a certain way. Each vibration is characterist to the state of matter and what it is composed of. Ex: rocks like granite and lead each have strings that vibrate similar enough that both are considered minerals, yet different enough that one is granite and the other lead.

How this applies to psychometry:
I believe emotions are a state of matter, perhaps one not even considered by scientist -that being the state of matter of soul or spirit. This means people's emotions carry vibrations. These vibrations may even trigger "visions" where one sees where somebodies emotions come from or pick up on the details that tiggered a person to radiate that emotion. When we ware objects or keep them close the emotions we radiate will leave a kind of psychic residue on all inanimate objects. Perhaps this mechanism can be described like how glass picks up condensation because of humidity and changing temperature. This residue can be picked up by reading its vibrations. The greater the strength of the emotion the more mass it has and thus it creates greater vibrations. These are the esist to pick up on. Since the residue vibrates emotions and we (like how lead and granite are similar) can pick up on them as if we were feeling them ourselves (empathy). However since what we are sensing is residue and not hard emotion, as conveyed by speach and body language or one's personal state of mind, we sense this residue as a kind of back round noise and so we filter it out as garbage. This is because the vibrations from residue are far weaker than the vibes emitted by yourself or someone in your presance.

So with this philosphy in mind lets teach the mind how to pick up on that back round noise emmited by the residue that sticks to an object. Take a piece of brand new jewlery (any object will work but something you'll keep closest to you is best) give this to a friend to ware. Let them ware it for a month or more. This will create a lot of residue for the object. Take it back and some time when you can devote 30-60 mintues to meditation- meditate on the object. Hold the object. As you clear your mind of its daily chattering focus on the chattering of the object. Visualize vibrations with random colors if it helps. Or simply let any sensations come to you. The trick is to be patient and not hurry things. When you feel that you have picked up on the general state of mind of your partner finish the session by recording the sensations you think you've found. Compare to your partner what you have recorded.

If you're a psychic vampire you'll probably have a natural ability to read the vibes off of valuble objects. If you are empathic or practice empathy you will also increase you're ability to read vibrations.

To further one's ability in psychometry simply practice what is described above and use your own experiments to master this ability. Some tips is be patient, be open and start with easy things and work your way up to bigger things.

Excellent post! Thanks for posting that. Now I have a better idea on Psychometry and it is interesting to note that this somehow relates with spellworking.

Say an object was touched by a person 3 years ago, now - does the residue of continued to be connected directly to that person, or it is simply a residue?

I don't think a person would remain in direct connection with an object unless they had it on them, charged or enchanted it, or its meanng is just that significant that the emotional vibes remain connected to the owner. I don't know to what degree of importance it would take for an object to retain residue. But I imagine it would be hard to cast a spell on someone using an object that has little importance to somebody. Another situation that can leave a mark is when a person undergoes a significant emotional experince- rape, death, murder, heart ache and so on. This can cause a person to radiate powerful emotions whose residue would retain the emotions from that expereince for probably a very long time. Thus a person can use a peice of personal jewlry for spell craft or a piece of clothes or hair and so on because an object important to somebody will carry psychic residue and thus be a way to connect to them via empathy or divine intervention (spell craft). However I believe that all things are in a general state of decay- so the older and the residue on an object the less impact or the less likely an empath would be at getting an accurate reading. However in cases or murder or where a person dies and is not properly buried or cremated I beleive the vibrations an object that may have been in close proximity to the decesed could carry those bad vibes for a very long time. Like possibly centuries. I say centuries because of this: the tower of london is reported to carry many ghosts and of course the tower itself was used as a prison/torture chamber. So if people in the presant can pick up on ghosts and other bad vibes than this leads me to beleive psychic residue can carry vibrations for a very long time provided the person who generated that residue does so with a profound enough emotion. Again the stronger an emotion is the greater is weight and the greater of an impact it'll have on an object.

My wife, Chris, is the psychometry expert. She has a REAL knack for it. Friends (and clients of mine) have given her some of their jewellery (and a large glass of Bacardi to relax her) and pow! She is dynamite. Within moments of holding the jewellery (best with an item belonging to a deceased person) she is in contact with the deceased. Holding a mental conversation and passing on information which she couldn't have possibly known.

Best example ... she was handed a pipe by a client of mine after a consultation with me... the client's Dad's pipe. Within moments she handed the pipe back and told the client he Dad had said 'what are you doing with my pipe? Nobody touches my pipe. Tell ****** to put the pipe back in the rack. She shouldn't have given it to her!!!!'

The wife had been spot on .... the pipe wasn't handled by anyone but my client's Dad and he told everyone to leave it alone. The wife had never met her Dad and hadn't a clue who he was or who's pipe it was. The information was the perfect proof he was there. She then went on to provide two or three hours of 'conversation' with the client's Dad .... all information she didn't know ... and names and places my client didn't even know .... but had to go home and check up on.

Asking the wife would herald an answer her not knowing how she does it ... but her being aware of the person beside her .... her being able to describe the person perfectly and then pass the 90% accurate information on just by holding an item of jewellery.

I use psychometry myself but not to the same level of accuracy. My forte is a large quartz crystal which I ask clients to hold for ten minutes ... I then 'psychometrise' the quartz crystal providing accurate information about the person's health and current situations ... I have trained myself 'to become' the person in these instances. Absorbing the energy through my hand and being sensitive enough to recognise its traces and differentiate it from my own thoughts and my own feelings and health conditions ...
