Can You Really Read Objects? Psychometry 101 (And Why Your Grandma’s Spoon Might Be Haunted?)

Ever held an old piece of jewelry and felt a weird vibe? Or picked up a thrift store sweater and suddenly felt like you needed to call a pirate hotline? Congratulations—you might have just tapped into psychometry (aka, the art of reading energy from objects)!

Yes, it’s a real thing. No, it’s not just for TV psychics or your eccentric aunt who swears she can hear furniture whispering. Let’s break it down in a way that makes sense—and have some fun while we’re at it.

Wait… What Is Psychometry?

Psychometry (also known as "object reading") is the ability to pick up vibrational energy from an item and sense information about its history, owner, or past experiences.

Think of objects as tiny energy sponges. They soak up emotions, events, and even drama (just like your neighbor’s nosy cat). When you touch an item, your subconscious mind may tune into the impressions it holds—kind of like a mystical version of Wi-Fi, but instead of the internet, you're connecting to the object’s past.

How Does It Work?

• Objects that are well-loved, frequently used, or very old tend to hold the most energy. (Think: grandma’s wedding ring vs. a plastic spoon from the gas station.)

• Materials like metal, wood, and stone absorb energy best, while plastic is pretty much the spiritual equivalent of a bad radio signal.

• Your hands act as sensors, picking up intuitive hits when you touch an item.

  
  

Let’s Try It! A Fun (And Slightly Spooky) Psychometry Exercise

Ready to test your object-reading skills? Here’s how:

Step 1: Find a Mystery Object

Ask a friend to give you an item that belonged to someone else (preferably something with some history—no fresh Amazon purchases, please).

Step 2: Get in the Zone

🔮 Sit in a quiet space and hold the object in your hand. Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and clear your mind (yes, that means stop thinking about your grocery list). Focus on the sensations the object gives you.

Step 3: Ask Questions & Listen for Impressions

Now, let the weirdness begin. Ask yourself:

• Does the object feel warm, cold, heavy, or light?

• Do any images, emotions, or words pop into your head?

• Do you suddenly feel oddly sad, happy, or nostalgic?

• Do you sense a name, a place, or even a strange event?

Example Warning Sign: If you pick up an old ring and instantly get visions of a pirate ship… you might have just found a cursed treasure. Please return to the sea.

Step 4: Verify Your Impressions

Once you’ve received some hits, ask the owner if anything makes sense. You might be surprised! Even if you’re wrong, it’s all about practicing your intuitive skills.

Can Anyone Do This? (Even If You Burn Toast With Your Mind?)

Yes! You don’t need to be a full-fledged psychic to develop psychometry skills. Like any muscle, intuition gets stronger with practice.

Tips to Improve Your Psychometry Powers:

✅ Start with personal objects (your jewelry, favorite books, or childhood toys) and notice how they make you feel.

✅ Try different materials—metals hold energy well, while plastic... not so much.

✅ Journal your impressions to track patterns.

✅ Meditate daily to clear your mind (intuition thrives in stillness, not in "OMG, I forgot to pay the water bill" chaos).
