Have you ever walked into an Antique store and wondered what kind of story each item could tell you? Or perhaps you have held an old ring and instantly received a message or an image of a time long ago and wondered what it meant? How to Do Psychic Readings through Touch teaches Psychometry - how to read the energy of objects, places, and people, tuning into the world in a fascinating new way. Ted Andrews presents his instructions in a factual, simple style; the explanations are straightforward, clear and easily understood.   

Ted Andrews is a full-time author in the field of metaphysics and spirituality. Being a clairvoyant he is able to perceive events beyond the ordinary range of perception, in addition he works with past life analysis, auric interpretations, and numerology. He is certified in basic hypnosis, acupressure, spiritual mediumship, and conducts seminars on ancient mysticism.

Andrews claims that psychometry, the art of using touch to sense the vibrations of a person, place or thing, is one of the easiest psychic abilities to develop and can be used to locate lost items, missing persons and detect imbalances in the body. (p.103) He claims that all psychic ability is natural, innate and within reach of every human and only requires practice and exercise to learn. (p.104) The easiest of these faculties, according to him, is clairsentience because the human skin serves as a sensory system giving off and absorbing energy fields. These fields are called auras and it is through the aura that impressions of objects are imprinted and sensed. (p. 9) This sensory system, or aura, becomes the bridge between ordinary perception and intuitive perceptions and by touching an object or person, information will be perceived through that touch. It is Andrews' premise that by understanding and using our senses to their fullest capacity, we are able to integrate and open up to awareness's beyond what our physical senses tell us. (p. 6)

This book offers explanation for five different intuitive levels of perception: 1) Clairvoyance: Auric sight, spiritual vision, dreams, and imagination; 2) Clairaudience: Hearing spirit voices, music, and telepathy; 3) Clairsentience: Psychometry and healing; 4) Clairaroma: Psychic faculties associated with smell; and 5) Clairgustus: Psychic faculties associated with taste. (p. 8) This is a "how to book" with practical explanations and exercises in most of the chapters. Andrews directs the reader through all the steps necessary to become proficient in psychometry.
