It is difficult to know what people want to know about when you are not face to face and can only talk in this manner. I said earlier on that I would talk of psychometry and will do so this time. It is not really the stage I would have liked to go to after the 2 posts on awareness, but I don't know if any of you are doing this with someone else or are doing it alone. No-one has told me and so for this reason, I shall talk of psychometry before stage 3 of the awareness. I hope that by next time you shall all have found someone to sit with in order to do step 3. If you haven't you'll have to skip it and try some other time.
Psychometry, for those who don't know, is when we can hold an object belonging to someone and get information from it. For example, I was at a friend's home last week for lunch and over coffee she happened to show me a notebook. A lady she knew and had looked after had written lots of instructions about what she wanted to be done after her death. This book had been given to my friend to carry out the instructions it contained.
As she handed me the book, in my mind, I instantly saw a desk in a darker coloured wood. It was a bureau style desk and I just knew that this was where the lady had written the contents and had kept the notebook locked up. I described the desk in detail and it proved to be correct. I then went on to give a few more details and described the lady and gave a couple of names. The handwriting gave me more information about her character and personality. A date came into my mind, well it was a year in the 1980's rather than a month, and it turned out that was when she had died.
Although so many years had passed, there was obviously still enough of her energy attached to the book for me to "read" from it. The person I was visiting hardly ever touched it and it was still kept in a drawer. That is probably why I could still get information from it that pertained to the original owner. I was even able to feel where the problem was and her symptoms. I described them and said that she had died with a problem around the stomach area and went on to say how it affected her. I was correct-she died of stomach cancer.
That is the case with most objects. It can be all sorts of things. I have been in a pub that was a couple of hundred years old and above one of the big old walk-in fireplaces was a huge wooden beam set into the wall above it. I felt drawn to touch it and smooth my hand across the wood. As I did so, I could see a large sailing ship from way back with what appeared to be slaves aboard. There were hangings performed on the ship which I felt was either near or on the wood that I was touching. The person I was with knew the history of the pub and certain things connected to it. It turned out that the wood in question actually HAD come from a ship and although they didn't know about the hangings, did know that there were slaves aboard and that the ship was used for transporting them.
For any of you who wish to try psychometry it is quite simple to do. It is not going to work for everybody and one's senses need to have been awakened in some part first of all for it to work. It is very easy to start imagining all sorts of things when trying this for the first few times and so you should be aware that if you get quite a bit of information, then it is probably from your mind and not the object you are holding.
In order to do this exercise, I would like you to obtain from a friend, a couple of items that you do not recognise or know anything about. They should not belong to your friend, (unless you are totally unaware it is theirs) but to people you know nothing about. Obviously nothing of value should be given to you if they are not to be there. What it DOES need to be, is something they use often that will have good energy on it. The person you know should give you the items in separate envelopes and they should not have touched them themselves if at all possible. For example. If someone gives a key, then that person should place it in an envelope, seal it and hand it to your friend. The next person should do the same with their item. These envelopes must then be given to you intact. No names on the outside or clues of any sort should be given to you.
The only reason I am saying all of this is because you are new to it. It doesn't matter to me who has held it in the meantime particularly, but those starting out don't need mixed energies on anything that may confuse the information they get. Obviously, the item needs to be something that the owner knows things about. For example. A girlfriend of mine gave me a ring to hold at one time and asked what I could get from it. I started to pick up odd bits of information here and there and each time she shook her head blankly. I told her that I was obviously not getting a proper link if everything I told her was incorrect, to which she replied that she didn't know if I was right or not. It turned out she didn't know anything about the person because she had died before she was born and so the information meant nothing to her. What was the point in that then!!! So you see, the person you are doing it for, needs to know the history otherwise it is stupid trying to do it.
I think for today I have said enough. It has introduced psychometry and what it is about enough for you to understand what we're going to try to do next time. I am not going to go into anything in this blog too deeply as without meeting you or being able to talk to each other it would make things too difficult. Instead, all of these exercises are just tasters of how things can be done. I hope you all do realise that. For now this is enough to take in and you can have time to think what you can get and from whom. They can be in the room with you while you do it if you like, but it is also something you can do alone which is why I am doing this instead of awareness stage 3.
I hope this has been written in a way that isn't too complicated or confusing and that it helps you understand a little of what can happen with psychometry. To sum up. You will be reading the energy which is attached to the item. You will not be linking in to anyone unless you are natural mediums who can do this anyway. If that happens then you don't need me telling you how to do it do you.!! Hope you've enjoyed this bit and I'll do the next part tomorrow or Wednesday.
God Bless,
Lorraine.

THE BEGINNING !!
Let me tell you who we are. You already know that I'm 54, fat, frumpy and a grouch. My husband, Peter, is 69 in 2 months time, a grouch and thin. We have a gorgeous Springer Spaniel called Bonnie and she was 8 in April going on 6 months! We have children between us but they long ago flew the nest.
We live in a bungalow with a large park like garden and have ducks that visit our pond each summer. The garden has palm trees, magnolia, mock orange blossom and lots and lots of weeds. I like the weeds as they are actually very pretty. It's just a shame some of them are growing through the paving slabs on the back terrace. My ducks come each year in March and stay until the end of July. When we first moved into the house we had 10 ducklings with mummy and daddy.
They nearly got killed on the road going back to their big pond and so we brought them back here and here they stayed. Now, for those of you who don't know ducks' habits, I shall tell you what they do. In the breeding season they leave their big ponds and find quiet homes such as ours to do their mating in and produce their babies. Once the babies are a few hours old, they are marched down the roads and across them to where the parents' usually live. In theory!!!!!
In 2000 that went wrong. Mummy took them on the road and no cars would stop. Now THIS is where you get to see how mad I am. I stepped in front of the traffic to make it stop! This is a very busy main road that travels the seafront from one town to another and I just walked casually into it. They stopped for me alright - they probably saw huge lawsuits ahead if they didn't. I ushered the ducklings, with mummy quacking frantically, over the road and into someone's garage.
My gardener had followed me to help and he picked up Daisy (as I named her) and I got the 10 ducklings into a box and carried them all home. Phew. My heart was racing so I don't know how that poor mother must have felt. Anyway, she stayed with them and Daddy, (now very originally called Donald) stayed too. I telephoned Mole Valley Farmers and ordered sacks of chick feed and mixed corn and for the next 6 weeks, I fed them and helped Daisy to keep them safe and strong. Oh the antics.
It was hilarious at times but those blasted shite hawks (seagulls)kept trying to catch the babies and eat them. I got up at 4 am each morning and never left the pond until after nightfall each day for the whole period. I was armed with a long fishing net which I swirled around my head each time the gulls swooped whilst calling them all manner of names. I was often seen wearing pyjamas, bed socks with my husband's slipper's, a fleece over the pyjamas and a dressing gown over that. What a sight I was. Sometimes an umbrella would be added to the list on the days it poured with rain and this would come in handy as an extra weapon to swirl around when the shitehawks came calling.
We had a party in the middle of all of this for my husband's 60th birthday and the babies were the star attraction. We used to have fish in the pond but I had to have them rescued as an emergency after that night. I heard a commotion with all of the ducks quacking at once and Daisy giving her "telling them off" quack. I went out to find everyone gathered around the pond area laughing as one of the babies had discovered the fish. Oh my God, it was running around the pond with a flapping fish in its mouth and all of the other babies following it quacking like mad. They thought it was a great game, the poor fish didn't and I was running around behind the whole lot clapping my hands and saying " You naughty baby. Put that poor fish down". We made an amazing spectacle around the pond but all the fish were rescued and next day sent to new homes.
Although our garden is rather secluded, word spread and we used to get people coming and peering over the gate trying to see them all. I only got a break for tea, meals or the loo when someone arrived to relieve me. The postman did a good job each day and waited while I dressed and made tea ( for us both) and got a bite to eat. Then lunchtime when hubbie got home and not again until teatime. Hard work but great fun.
Daisy was a brilliant mother and Donald very protective of her. Thanks to me interfering poor Daisy had 10 babies to rear instead of the usual 2-3 that normally survive which gave her so much extra work. I did help wherever I could and they all survived. We never lost one duckling and we took them to a trio of very large ponds when they were older and safe where they could establish themselves to start their lives.
Dear Daisy and Donald died last year and are buried by my pond. One of her babies has taken up their post and is spending the summer here with his mate as I speak. I know it's one of my babies as he is so tame and knows exactly which door to come to asking for food if I'm late putting it out and all the other things that we did. A couple of others still visit and are very tame with me and the dog. Everyone else makes them nervous though.
Well, that's a bit about my household and how weird it can be. I hope you've enjoyed that little insight. Sometime I may tell you how normal I can be as well. That will have given you a little feel of getting to know me and what you're letting yourself in for if you follow this blog. It is nowhere nearly as interesting or as mad as that though so don't get your hopes up. I'm off now for a Devonshire cream tea. Cup of tea, 2 scones, jam and clotted cream. Haven't had one since last summer. Hubbie's got the tea ready so off I go to get his scones out. Bye for now,
Lorraine.
P.S. Just read this back to check it and realised that the last sentence sounds frightfully rude if taken the wrong way. Oh dear, so what - he should be so lucky!!!

AWARENESS PART 2
By now, I am hoping that you have tried the relaxation exercise in Awareness Part 1 a few times. Today, I am going to take you a stage further and you're going to sense your own aura and maybe, if you are doing this with someone else, the aura of a person in the room with you. By doing this, you shall awaken your psychic potential more, and for those with a natural ability, your mediumistic senses may awaken.
To begin, we are going to follow the same advice as in step one about food, drink, telephones, candles etc. When you are comfortable in your chair, then we shall start again with the three deep breaths. In through the nose deeply and slowly and then out slowly through the mouth keeping your eyes closed. When your breathing has regulated, I want you to become aware of yourself. Take your time and familiarise yourself with the feel of your body as a whole. Do not concentrate on one part, but keep yourself aware of the whole being that is you.
As you are sitting in this way, you should, after a while, become aware that you appear to feel different, that your body feels lighter. You will feel calm, relaxed and almost as though you do when day dreaming. This is your body becoming more sensitive and allowing you to become aware of the essence of your being. You are not made up just of flesh, blood and bone, but of spirit and this is what we are connecting with. This is the other you if you like that most cannot see unless you allow them to. I suppose in some ways it is little like self hypnosis. You are aware of yourself but detached and too relaxed to want to bother moving. This is the state I wish you to be in. It is an altered state of mind and the one needed to feel your aura extend far beyond your body. This is not a state that you cannot come back from so do not worry. You aren't going anywhere and you aren't leaving your body. You are just becoming aware of yourself in a way you may not have done before.
As the aura extends, enjoy the feeling it brings you. Feel it stretching further and further from you. If there is someone sitting with you then this is the time to see if you can feel his/her aura near yours. If you can, then I don't want to to go too close to them. Keep your aura away from each other for now. You can go close but draw back slightly if you can feel them.
Whilst you are doing this exercise you may sense a colour or several different colours. You may sense a chill around you or a smell that you either do or don't recognise. Don't try at this stage to work out what any of this is. Just feel. That is all I want you to do for now. Feel. Feel your aura and how it extends from you. Feel how wide around the body it has now become. For those who are more experienced, their auras may extend feet rather than inches from their body. This is only usually people who are already well developed in spiritual matters though. The rest of you should feel it extend several inches. The more you practice, the further it will eventually go. Feeling your aura extend is wonderful and is just the very beginning of awakening the senses that are needed for your psychic/mediumistic work. For those who managed it-well done! For those who haven't yet, don't worry - it WILL happen.
There are some who this may not work for because you are just not ready at this stage of your life. That does not mean you will never be able to do this. It could also mean that you just need to practice a little more. Do not worry though because if and when the time is right, it shall happen.
Right, after feeling the extended aura for a few minutes, I want you to start to slowly bring it back in towards your body. Take your time as there is no hurry for this at all. As you allow it to come back, so it shall. When, and only when you are sure the aura is back exactly how it was at the beginning, I want you to slowly allow your mind to become aware again of the ordinary everyday sounds around you. A car horn blaring, a door slamming, whatever. Bring your mind back to the here and now slowly. Keep your eyes closed until you are sure that you are feeling completely aware of your surroundings and that you are "back" so to speak in reality.
Open your eyes slowly and adjust to your surroundings. Do not get up too quickly or talk too quickly. Just sit and relax and feel yourself come awake again. When you are quite sure that you are fully awake, then I would suggest a glass of water or a cup of tea. Take time to think about what you felt. Do not rush to do any ordinary, mundane things as it will take you time to become fully grounded again.
It is almost like having had a little snooze in the chair and how that feels to come around properly and shake the fuzziness out of your head. Similar but also totally different. After this exercise you should feel completely relaxed, happy and contended. You should not do this more than once a day. It should also last no longer than about 20 -25 minutes.
If at any time at all you feel uncomfortable, if your heart races instead of slowing and calming down then stop what you are doing. You should never feel uncomfortable or uneasy. If you are then it is very important to stop straight away. Before I do any exercise of this type, meditation, healing or readings for anyone, I always say a prayer of protection. If you cannot think of one or any words to say then the prayer to St. Michael that is on my blog page is one you can say. In fact, it is the one I always use and always have done.
To do any of these exercises or to do any psychic or spiritual work of any kind, it is important that you are pure of heart, mind and soul. Your intention must be pure and good. There are many who say protection is needed at all times. The only protection that is needed is a prayer before you start, asking for protection. No more and no less. When writing the book that spirit inspired me to write they said that was all that was needed.
I have never been bothered by anything disturbing ever in this work. I trust my instincts at all times and if I feel even slightly uncomfortable, then I close myself down immediately and do other things. This is very easy to do. You just literally switch your mind from what you are doing to something totally different. Get up and go and do something else. I only work with the highest and the best. I ask God to only send those spirits who work for Him and for good. I need do no more. I trust in God implicitly.
I must at this stage insist please, that anyone suffering from a mental disorder of any sort or who suffers from severe depression does not do this exercise. Nor, in fact should they do any supernatural work at all. It is not something to played around with and needs to be taken very seriously. If you are ill, then your judjement can be impaired and you can be open and suseptable to all manner of things. I, therefore, ask you humbly to desist and wait until you are feeling better. Thank you.
For everyone else who tries this exercise I hope it works for you. I would LOVE to know how you get on. My e-mail address is on this blog if you want to mail me. If not comments can be posted here.
It would help me to know if you are doing this alone or with someone as it depends then where I go next with this. The next stage would preferably be with someone doing it with you. Let me know if you would. Thank you and
God Bless,
Lorraine.
