The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have always been able to, I guess sense is the only word, things by touching them with my hands. I can think of a few examples but the best one (and the most stupid) is bingo cards (yeah, I get stuck playing with my mom sometimes). I can 'feel' good cards and win all the time.

I get a warm sensation when I touch whatever it is. Like the cards, I good one will feel warm in my hand. It's not always accurate, i'd say at i'm accurate at least 75% of the time. What is this called (if there is a name) and is there anyway to practice, or train, this ability?

Did a bit of quick research on this.

The technical term is: Psychometry, also known as object reading

The first page I got on this:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Psychometry---Reading-Objects-the-Psychic-Way&id=535252

I did not dive too much deeper. The article claims that they can help develop the ability, but it was starting to sound like and ad at that point.

Hope this is useful.

It is a form of psychometry. This is where you pick things up by touching objects.

As with anything else, practice is a good thing. Try holding old pieces of jewellry of your parent's or grandparent's and see if you can pick anything up from them, then confirm your results with them.

Psychometry, would be correct and a lot of psychics and mediums use this in helping others that are trying to contacts loved ones on the other side or to find lost people, the more you do it the stronger it will become for you, just make sure you don't drain your self and drink a lot of water.

I also sense things with the warmth in the fingertips. The best way to refine this power is to keep doing it! Its a cool way to know things!

Why not test it further? Have someone pick objects of their own and have you touch them and see what you sense. You never know? could be a matter of just having been lucky or maybe you are a physiopath (I might be off on the term, but it is something to that effect).

The gift you have should not be taken lightly or for granted, as it is a part of you, it will help you in your daily life.

There is one excercise that I can think of that may help hone this gift of yours. Place some playing cards on a flat surface and try to guess what each on of them are, pick them up and feel them as needed, then flip them over to see if your assumption was correct.

i wonder if maybe a visualization exercise might help too...*shrugs*

Strictly speaking I would'nt call it psychometry.

Psychometry is more personal, as in holding an article and knowing things about the owner.

Intuition perhaps ?

I have this "power" just a little bit. Mine isn't only with what I touch it is with random thoughts that come to my mind. I can touch a scratch lottery ticket and tell you if I'll win and sometimes with things like football games my hubs is watching, I'll just all the sudden get a feeling of who will not win. I am usually right. I know nothing about the game really and hate watching it, I will just walk in while he is watching and get a feeling.

You learn by doing, same as with any other gift. The more you use it the more experience and therefore the better you will be.

But I also get this feeling from things I have never touched before.

I have a smiliar talent but its not a warming sensation..lol..my way of getting better or knowing it better was doing it more..learning from experience i think it's the best way to learn more hands on

There is another term for this...

Clairsentience

I am a firm believer of.... you dont train your gifts...... you dont better your gifts..... you grow into them.

I have always been able to do that be able to feel things and know what they are. When I was a kid my friends used to get me to hold balls of wool or yarn and tell them what color it was just by feeling it and the more I did it the better I got at it. I can do it with playing cards as well if I touch the backs of them I know if it is red or black. It is just a matter of learning what the different feelings are for the different colors or objects out there.

I have never heard about this but it seems conceivable to me. I'm not sure why. If someone could master the card thing you are talking about that would be something in competive card games especially when you are dealing the cards. Beyond that I wonder if it would be useful in determining information on relics and other objects. Interesting topic.

Yeah, sometimes I'll pick something up and just know I'm supposed to get it, even though it's not for me, and then later I'll know the person I'm supposed to give it to...

I had one piece of stone like this that hung around and waited for something like 5 years, always getting moved with me, and then I bumped into the person who was supposed to have it later and knew it.

I have that too...

I have never caught 'images of the
past' or nothing, but I can feel a sort
of warm, happy fuzzy feeling connected
to things that I am looking for or need
in some way...Good things, like you
mentioned above in the first post.

Id like to know if you can feel the same touching people, like reading their lives.
I´ve seen people doing that... they touch someone and it´s like watching all their lives like in a movie...

I've never tried it on people. I just touch objects sometimes and they feel odd in my hand. Like, a warm sensation will run up my arm. I've never actually TRIED to use this, it just happens and then I notice it happening. Like, i'll be holding a piece of paper and it feels warm. I think i'm going to test it. I have a deck of cards, i'm going to play with them and see how often I can guess either red/black or maybe even go farther and try suit. I'll let you all know what happens when I try it out.

The playing cards is really good way to go. I have a friend that used playing cards. Heck why not even try use a tarot deck.

I wish i had this kind of power i'd be rich ..so i did some research that may help and this what i found so far.

Reading objects by touch

I know someone whos dissertation was on psychometry, you guys are suppose to be wizards (pun) in the garden too...........do you find you are good with flowers and/or plants?

Wow.. could you imagine being able to use that gift on a person? I'm not sure I'd want to.

As for me personally I can pick up things from objects occasionally.. but it has to be a very strong "energy" attached to the object.

I'm sure it's the same sort of 'energy' (for want of a better word) that healers use when people go to them

That could be true Bloodlife.. I've heard of healers having the warm tingly feeling in their fingertips when they touch someone.. I wonder if it's the same sort of ability?

I'm not sure, but I not I just had a naughty thought about it. lol

i think that is a great gift to have and you can hone that skill. sometimes that gift will come easer on some day better then other. dont force your self or you will burn out after a bit of time. just let it flow and you will now what to do.

yes, I have this ability.
For me, what SUCKS! is knowing what presents/Gifts I'm getting. Whether in a box or wrapped in Gift paper.

If you try to get good control over this talent of yours maybe you can get a career doing some thing with it. Like finding things,pets, people.

I came in contact with an electric chair that was used to execute prisoners one time.......Talkin about bad vibes..........Give me a yell and I'll tell you more........

i have the power that is imence and i have learned to control it

I am sure that it is what other use for spells maybe

Ok, Tried with the cards (I used a normal playing deck) and I got about 65-70% correct.

I don't really know how to interpret that, I would think maybe a regular person could guess that?

I thought maybe I should be a little more clearer.

Out of 52 cards, I guessed 40 correctly, 12 incorrectly.

This talent has been around for hundreds of years. Although not documented well, it ties into the other arts like palmistry and tarot reading. You should make sure that you find someone skilled to help you grow into this talent.

i know i posted to this one before but were it went i dont know... have you been working on developing it. and have you tried any way of blocking it when you dont want to get the impressions

Have you ever tried to make it stronger? Like, just practice in a store or something? By picking up objects and trying to tell who (good or bad) has previously touched it or something along those lines.

sounds to me like u are sensitive to energies. might not be the thing ur touching (like finding a lucky card) per say... but just the energy left on it. I feel warm tinglies with many things i touch and I have tried to do research to see what, if anything, it meant. i have yet to find any way to train this or turn it into something helpful. i feel people's energies and energies on objects. its quite cool. if u find out any tips on learning how to control it, please let me know :o)

have you tried to develope it or have someone help you with it

Why are people asking if the original poster is trying to control or develop this feeling when they ask if there is a way to?
A warm or familiar feeling is not a sign of Psychometry by itself. It may be just a sign of luck or good fortune. And yes anyone can get those results for guessing cards. The odds are a little better or worse than fifty-fifty. But then again, guessing cards is not an exercise for Psychometry anyway. You need a clear head for reading objects. You should also get a picture or thoughts from an object - not a warm feeling. Sounds more like your lucky with bingo. Nothing more.

there is a way to train and control it - practice. the best way is to ask friends to hand you an object that is very meaningful to them, and they have had a long time, or carry around a lot. as they are friends, it should be easier. hold the object and then say whatever comes into your mind. then ask your friend to feedback where you were spot on, and where you were way off the mark. the more you do this, the more you will hone your talent.

it is a very good gift to posses. I have many friends who have it also. However they have no control over it. To my knowledge they have never tried. One of my friends only gets that good feeling from certain things such as when I do a tarot reading for them they always seem to get a good reading. I let them pick their cards.

Keep a journal of your practice -- Im sure some of us here would bevery interested in reading of your developments!

I didn't think of that. I will do that, i'll make a section in my journal just for this subject. Great idea, thanks :)

I use the same gift with my tarrort cards, warm sensation on my finger tips to my hands mean yes, cold means no. I like it, it helps me get a better tarrort reading for the person I'm reading.

Then you should hop a bus or plane to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or the Islands.

No, I would think that would be personal gain. Once I realized with the bingo I try my hardest not to use it so I just pick cards at random. Sometimes I get a card that just feels, well, ICKY is all I can say to describe it so I put that one back. I don't purposely look for good feeling cards.

of course it would be personal gain! HEHE nothing wrong with a little finantial security. Or you can give it do some orphans or something. Or even better, me! LOL. totally kidding, sounds like a kewl gift though.

I have been trying to think of other examples where I have noticed it. The bingo was just the first one I thought of. When grocery shopping, I can sometimes pick up a carton of eggs and I can feel that it's not a good carton. I'll open it and there's a cracked egg.. that kind of thing.

My mom drags me to bingo about once or twice a month, any more than that and I start pretending like i'm sick lol.

Just pay attention and respond when you feel the sensation.. it should grow in accuracy.

If you start to ignore it, you'll loose it.. I did.

i agree

that is why you you have to just keep tracticing, not every day but just don't forget its there

as they say practice makes perfect.. it could come in handy for many carrers like private eyes.. or historian

I to have some thing similar like this i usally sense things in people like fear or anxiety or happiness or sadness and i have chosen card by ther way they fell too i just try to do it more often to try and learn about things

wouldnt it be a kinda foresight??

Roald Dahl's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, if not it explains how one can possibly do this, 99.99% of the time. An Autobiography of a Yogi, is another book that explains this in greater detail.

now that sounds really cool wish i could do that id go play bingo all the time lol

but i to can also feel things and sence things just not in the same way i can feel if a person has a good sperit or an evil sprit inside them weird huh but its true

I have yet to be endogenous with psychometry, but an interested in the art of scrying.

It sounds like a form of clairvoyancy called clairsentience. Where you get a feeling from touching objects.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairvoyance

Moonrainbow, I was thinking the same thing, it sounds more like clairvoyance to me........

thats cool that you can do it but i dont know what it is

Yes it's a combination of your intuition and psychometry.

I am what is known as empathic. Meaning I feel through time and space to know anothers soul. You might try not "touching" and allow your heart to feel the thought of your desires.

going with your heart is always your best choice

I think it is called intuition, well excluding the warmth that you feel in your hands. Anyways, I am always accurate when I use my intuition. The thing is that you can't let your concense get in the why of that. It's a matter of both concentration and letting go. If you use intuition correctly, you'll have your answer right of the bat. If you use consense to weigh the pros and cons it will take longer to deterimine the answer and it might not be right.

you might just be really lucky....?

i kindaof can tell whats going to happen if someone tell me like if there going to do something and i'll tell them not to but nobody listens then later on they'll say i should of listen

I wish I had that. I think I have the exact opposite. I always get the card LEAST likely to win, but then...I hate winning at BINGO, so maybe I have the power to get the card I want too and it just works differently for me? Lmao...

Thank you all for your points of view and information. I greatly appreciate it :)

I kinda got the same thing, except not with objects. I can feel a persons pressure points or "chackras"(places on the body where energy is naturally centered). I can feel the ones that bring pain when pushed, and i can discern those from the chackra points that bring a pleasurable feeling. Not sure if thats the same concept.
