EXERCISE FOUR

This is another group exercise and can be practiced with either friends or strangers. This exercise calls for actual personal touch, so it should be a group not adverse to holding hands with another person. The group should do this straight-away and avoid socializing, as pre-socializing may color the results.

  1. Start with a brief relaxation exercise.
  2. Pair off with someone you haven’t seen all day, if you know them, or a stranger, if there are others in the group whom you know and sit in chairs opposite each other.
  3. Hold hands with the other person and close your eyes. Try to feel their energy. Are they relaxed or stressed? Have they had a fun day or a challenging day? Are they feeling discomfort in any body part? (Your body’s own sensations can help with this form of detection). Is something troubling them? Are they harboring a secret, or does their energy feel open? Do any random thoughts occur to you as you hold this person’s hands?
  4. Trust whatever you feel from the connection, and trust whatever thoughts occur to you as you ask yourself these questions, because such thoughts are usually the subconscious mind trying to communicate to you what it’s perceiving about the other person.
  5. Share your perceptions with the person you’re reading, and they should do the same with you. Only by sharing with each other what you pick up can you verify and clarify what your detecting. This will increase your confidence in your psychometric ability.

Obviously, this exercise will call for a certain amount of trust between the participants, because it’s entirely possible they will be picking up on what the other person would consider confidential information.

EXERCISE FIVE

This exercise is called image transference, and it can be practiced with just one other person, ideally a friend.

  1. Have your friend hide an object that’s important to you.
  2. After they hide this item, have them sit across from you and hold hands. Spend a moment or two simply breathing, possibly synchronizing your breathing.
  3. The individual who hid the item should form and hold in their mind a mental image of where they hid it, while you try to tune into their thoughts and figure out where they hid it. Pay attention to anything which occurs to you. You may get only a color, or an impression of a teapot or a book or a sofa cushion.
  4. Mention everything which comes to your mind out loud as you tune in on the other person’s thoughts. They can offer verification or ‘warmer-colder’ feedback as to how close you are to the hiding place.  

Don’t feel discouraged if what you’re picking up on is wrong. (Hey, your friend could be misleading you!) Approach this exercise in a light-hearted way and treat it as a game. Also, don’t try this hide-and-seek exercise more than four times in one setting, or frustration or a certain weariness could set in, which could in turn create blocks to future psychometry efforts.
