Psychometry is the ability to read and tune into an object so that you can give details about it, its owners and its history. The main use of psychometry is in identifying its owner - and their experiences.

The auric field of the object contains within it the information of all with which the object has come into contact, much like a diary or file of events. When you are sensitive enough, you are able to tune into that field and you can then access and see the memories, which are stored. You can then use them to identify to whom the object belongs, that person and their feelings, and also a number of other things about both the item and the owner.

Many mediums use psychometry as a means to obtaining a link with the person for whom they are reading - the object gives them a focus to help them to sharpen and heighten their abilities. Police investigations have used psychometrists with items belonging to victims or clues left at the scenes of crimes to try to identify criminals and solve crimes.

An American physician and scientist, J Rhodes Buchanan, who spent a large part of his life exploring psychic phenomenon, coined the term psychometric in 1842. He made the word from the Greek word psyche, meaning soul, and metron, meaning measure. Therefore a literal translation would be soul measuring.

Choosing the right object upon which to practice is important - beginners are better off using an object, which does not have mixtures of vibrations from a variety of people. Something which is regularly worn or used by the same person is excellent - particularly jewellery and watches which are worn almost daily. Avoid practicing on gemstones or crystals as they have strong vibrations of their own.

It may be necessary for you to say what you feel to start with and, in doing this, you may feel unsure. Don't be afraid to ask a few questions to get you started, but don't fish for information. If you do, you are only fooling yourself.

Settle yourself comfortably with the object in your hands. Visualize white light entering your body from above and flowing down through you. This may take time, but don't rush yourself. Say what you think or feel as you sit there. Gently rub the item with your fingertips and allow images or thoughts to form in your mind. Don't be put off if the first few attempts produce no results - this is quite normal. It can take time to learn to tune in enough for it to work. Also if the owner of an object says that things you say aren't right, don't feel disheartened. Ask them how long they have had the object and whether they know its previous history. It could be that you have tuned into a previous owner or something similar.

I am going to try to do more advanced work by using a photograph of an item I order to give a psychometry reading from it. I am doing this reading for the famous past life author Jenny Smedley whom, we all know, is a very spiritual human being.

My first impression of the ring is that it is real gold and very old. The ring itself has a real twist of a tale to tell. It tells me that you had a life changing experience happen to you, approximately ten years ago. Your world completely changed over-night.

I feel that you are very much a family person and you are in a solid, well-grounded relationship. This ring also makes me feel that you are a very caring, loving person who loves animals. I can almost see you wearing this ring and a rather large dog jumping up to greet you. I see the countryside and lots of walking through wind and rain.

Zooming into the picture of the ring, I see a female in spirit staring at me. Her importance to the ring leaves her impressions also. She is much older. I would say she was a mother who feels she could have done more for you. I have the impression that she feels she let you down in some way. She is very happy and proud of you today and wants to tell you this over and over again.

Your personal life is kept very much private. You never expose or disclose any of your personal information which places a barrier for people trying to read for you without your consent.

You lead a very cultured life and are always open to new experiences. You are always on planet though, thinking about your next voyage or venture to take place. You never stop thinking and are always putting your thoughts into action. When I say cultured life, I also see dance here and feel that you may enjoy the rhythm of music and experimenting with different cultures of dance, such as salsa. You spend your life travelling and seeing the world, exposing your new ideas and teaching the world about worlds connected to us but somehow different from the world in which we live today.

You health states that you had serious medical conditions in the past which seem to have vanished overnight, leaving nothing more than a weakness in your left leg. You also feel down if you have nothing to do. You neglect your good eating habits when your lifestyle is very busy, also enjoying different cultures of food. Your health, in my eyes, seems very normal.

I feel that your life is very varied from when you where a child. It is possible you’re your start in life would have a connection to Wales.

You always make do with the basic essentials in life and spend your money on travel and exploring the cultures in this world. You do, however, wish to improve your home by making alterations, which have so far been delayed. It may seem that nothing is going to happen for a while. I see the number four flashing from the ring when I speak of this, so it may take four months.

You are an organised person on the outside but on the inside you allow a muddle. You work better when you have accepted that you have to sort it. Workload tells me you have far too much on your plate but you manage to keep going and get the job done. I almost see you locked in a white/cream coloured room for hours on end, planning the work you have to do. In your work field, you can look forward to more media work relating to new findings of the cultures with which you have been involved. You seem to be able to make the changes of the happenings found with a complete understanding, giving perfect ease to everyone involved in this case.

Looking at the ring for lucky numbers, it tells me you already have a lucky number and it is the number 5. You have kept this number close to you always and, looking at the ring, I keeping counting the number 5 from it i.e. the twists on the ring.

The month of February seems a very important time for enjoying and celebrating with the family.

I see you as very curious person in that you are always sceptic until you find your own truth in matters.
