Telepathy 3

Test your telepathy with your partner! Strip to your underwear, and kneel on the floor. Ask him (or her) to bring his palm close to the skin on your back, without touching you. Close your eyes, and try to sense the presence of his hand with your skin. Tell him to move it away and back again.

I know you are a truly psychic bunch, because the response to my challenge to win an ancient crystal has been phenomenal. But did you know crystals can actually be ‘telepathic’? In fact, any object with a rich history can be read like a book, when your mind is tuned in.

This psychic talent is called psychometry. Why not throw a psychometry party, and ask all your friends to each bring a valued object, something with strong sentimental meaning – dad’s old watch, gran’s brooch, a school tie.

Pick up one of these objects, without asking who brought it, and see what impressions flow through your brain. There’s no trick to this – just be open and responsive, and say honestly what comes to mind. Your friends may be astonished at how accurately their history unfolds.

Crystals are energy batteries, and I sometimes get massive telepathic jolts when I hold them. One of my favourites was given to me by the madly eccentric painter Salvador Dali – you have no idea what pictures that creates!
