Psychometry comes from the Greek words “psyche” meaning “soul” and “metron” meaning “measure”.

Psychometry is a psychic ability in which a person can sense or “read” the history of an object by touching it. Such a person can receive impressions from an object by holding it in his/her hands or, perhaps, touching it to the forehead. Such impressions can be perceived as images, sounds, smells, tastes- even emotions.

Psychometry is a form of scrying- a psychic way of “seeing” something that is not ordinarily see-able. With psychometry, this extraordinary vision is available through touch.

The psychic may be able to sense what the person was like, what they did, and perhaps most important, the psychic can sense how the person felt- the emotions of the person at a particular time. Emotions are most strongly “recorded” in the object.
