Have you ever wondered what secrets an old watch might hold? Or what stories a vintage tea set could reveal?
Psychometry is a special skill that allows us to sense an object’s history by just touching or holding an object. We can hold a piece of jewelry and instantly know key details about it and its past owners. We can sense things about their life, including their experiences, thoughts, emotions, and dreams.

1. How Did Psychometry Start?
Psychometry was named by Joseph Rodes Buchanan in the 19th century. Through his research, he discovered that objects record psychic imprints that can be sensed through touch. He believed that objects could absorb and hold onto the emotions and memories of people who interacted with them. And that psychics and mediums could intuitively pick up on these imprints.
2. How Does Psychometry Work?
Psychometry is the psychic sense of touch that lets us receive information about an object and the people who owned it. When a psychometrist touches or holds an object, their soul blends with it, and they start receiving psychic impressions. For example, holding a piece of jewelry worn by someone who passed away might evoke intense emotions, or reveal past memories connected to that person’s life experiences.
3. What Can Psychometry Tell Us?
Psychometry is used to explore the past and reconnect with loved ones in the afterlife. It is often used in paranormal investigations to try to understand the history or energies surrounding haunted places. A skilled psychometrist can pick up on memories or feelings of people connected to a location or object and any important historical events.
4. Can psychometry predict the future?
Psychometry mainly focuses on sensing past events, emotions, or connections related to an object. It is possible to receive intuitive insights about the future possibilities of an object or the person in possession of it. But these types of reading are rare.
5. Which objects give the best readings?
All objects absorb energy, but some materials store it better. For instance, crystals are particularly good at capturing the energy and retaining the vibration long after a person has crossed over. Crystal watches, ruby rings, and pearl earrings are great examples. Always pick a treasured item your loved one regularly used. It ensures the object is infused with their energy and maximizes the potential number of impressions a psychic medium can receive. Avoid randomly choosing a personal belonging and resist cleansing it.
6. Are psychometry readings accurate?
Accuracy can vary widely depending on the skill, experience, and sensitivity of the psychometrist, as well as the object being read. Factors such as the object’s age, the strength of emotional imprints, and the psychometrist’s state of mind can all influence the accuracy of readings.
7. Do you have psychometric skills?
To know if you have psychometry skills, pay attention to strong emotional reactions, vivid images, or memories when touching objects. If you are sensitive to the energy of places and items, have intuitive insights, or frequently experience déjà vu, these might be signs of psychometric abilities.
8. Can anyone learn psychometry?
While some believe that psychometry is a natural ability that some people are more sensitive to, others think it can be developed with practice and sensitivity to energy. Techniques like meditation or mindfulness can help enhance sensitivity to object energies.
