Wot, no levitation? Has Gary dropped it from his repertoire since his workshop at Nash Manor last July?

Quote:
You will be taught techniques such as past life regression, kinesiology and levitation...


Never mind. Who needs levitation when there are so many new things on offer, all of which are within our grasp because "Every human being has the ability to be psychic and communicate with the spirit world." We know what most of these wondrous powers are, but what about the lesser-known methods of spirit communication on Gary's list?

Psychometry:
Quote:
Psychometry is an alleged psychic power that enables one to divine facts by handling objects. Commonly, the psychic handles some jewelry or clothing, claims to be able to see or feel the object's aura, and begins shotgunning. Many psychic detectives claim to have psychometric powers. Skeptics explain this "power" as a matter of magical thinking, cold reading, subjective validation, and selective thinking.

"Shotgunning":
Quote:
Shotgunning is a cold reading trick used by pseudo-psychics and false mediums. To convince one's mark that one is truly in touch with the other world, one provides a large quantity of information, some of which is bound to seem appropriate. Shotgunning relies on subjective validation and selective thinking.

Angel Cards:
Quote:
Step 1...first buy a pack of cards..
Many people feel the need to work closely with their angels and guides after a mystical experience introduces them to the ‘idea’ of their unseen teachers and protectors. Our guides and angels can appear in dramatic ways and many visit in dreams and visions.

However, not all angels work in such spectacular ways and many prefer a more subtle approach. Angel cards are a perfect way to build a relationship with your guardian angel and spirit guides.

Most angel card decks contain a series of single, positive messages or simple, optimistic phrases. Interpreting them is mainly a matter of practice. My first advice with using any sort of divination pack would be ‘pack away the instruction book!’ Real clairvoyants and psychics work from instinct – in theory, it would be possible to use beer mats, but they’re nothing like as nice to shuffle!

Preparing to use angel cards
With a new pack you’ll want to familiarise yourself with the pictures and phrases on each card...and ‘Oh go on then...read the instruction book or leaflet that comes with the pack if you really have to!’ Make yourself comfortable with shuffling and laying the cards out on the table – get a real feel of your cards. Spend a little time playing with them – doing nothing in particular!

Then you’ll want to cleanse your angel cards before you start. It doesn’t matter what words you use but its fun to do something! Saying a Prayer may help you work with the higher realms, and you may want to dedicate their use to your reading to your own special God or Goddess.

Oils and scents
Drawing the pack through the smoke of a smudge stick (sage for purification), or holding the pack over scented incense , would be the traditional method of preparing your cards. I like to work with Frankincense (a high ‘vibrational’ oil which is perfect for connecting to the angelic realms). Two or three drops of oil, in an oil burner is a lovely way to create the perfect atmosphere for your reading.

Candles
Burning candles whilst you do your spiritual work, isn’t just some new age claptrap. Candles have been used for centuries in rituals and magic. Lighting your candle signifies bringing in ‘the light’, or the higher realms. You can blow out your candle at the end of the session to draw your reading to a close.

Safekeeping
It’s important to keep your angel cards in a special place. The small, single word cards are lovely in an open bowl – even my children pick a card every day as I do this at home. My sister keeps her angel cards in a beautiful gold bowl that she stands next to the telephone...useful for those moments you are waiting for those other messages to come through!

The larger cards deserve looking after. You can wrap you cards in a piece of silk or black velvet. If you’re not clever with a needle and thread, you can easily buy lovely little drawstring pouches . If you want to keep your cards free from the energy of others, then you can pack them safely in a little wooden box after each use.

Working with Spreads
What’s a spread? Usually, cards are laid out in spreads (in patterns on the table). Although you will find lots of different ‘patterns’ in books, there is no right or wrong way to do this and you can easily make up your own. With a spread, each card represents a question or part of an answer – the lay out of the cards helps you to remember which card is for which question!

Three Card Spread
A three card spread is a simple way to start. Lay your cards out in a line. The first card signifies your Past (place it furthest away from you), the middle card signifies your present (place the card in the middle) and the third card represents your future.

A Six Card Spread
Lay out cards as above. Place a second row of cards alongside the first. Each of these second cards can be used to expand on the first card...it might be the card you use to ‘explain’ why things happened the way they did in the past, how they are developing in the present, and as a guide to how to work out the future!

Specific Questions
Most people want to know about either love, money or work situations, and you can easily work with a single query. As with tarot cards, it is better to use at least three cards – but go ahead and use as many as you want to answer your query. You could make up your own shape spreads with each set of cards indicating certain questions. Cards in the shape of a heart might be used to answer queries about love and so on.

How to read the cards
Always follow your instincts first. Each card has many meanings and even those which are not included in the booklet or leaflet of the pack. If you pick a card which says LOVE for example and you feel that the person needs to GIVE love then say so. If you feel the card means that their angel or guide is SENDING love, then say that. If you feel more comfortable, say what you think the card means, wait for a reaction (see if it makes sense), then check the meaning in your reference – work quickly and do not spend too long worrying about getting it wrong.

Getting it right
One final word? Practice, Practice, and more Practice...!

Ribbon Reading:
Quote:
Ribbon Reading is a form of Psychometry. Psychometry readings are brought about through our sensation of touch. This occurs through the reader holding an object in their hands that belongs to or has been touched by the person who wishes to be read. The reader senses the energy that the object gives off.

There are no set meanings to each individual ribbon. Ribbons are read by whatever the individual reader perceives through thought and touch as to what each colour represents to them, this is in fact very similar to that of aura readings where colours mean different things to different people, as long as you understand what a colour represents to you then you are able to read ribbons.

It is best to use an assortment of colours, two of each, and also different textures. The sitter should hold the ribbons for a time and choose ribbons with their eyes closed, this will ensure they do not choose their favourite colours. It would be normal for the sitter to choose between four and six colours.

When reading the ribbons feel each one, feel the texture of it. Is it rough or is it smooth? Think about what the colour of each ribbon in turn mean to you? For example Red and smooth may mean love, Red and textured may mean trouble in love. Purple may represent peace and tranquillity, spiritualism. Blue compassion. Brown earth connections.

How does each ribbon feel? Do any emoticons come to you? Do any pictures come to your mind? If so what pictures do you see?

Offer anything that you receive to your sitter, it may feel to you that it is something small and irrelevant but it maybe a very important piece of information to the sitter.

Most of all relax and enjoy the experience and don’t try to hard to receive any messages just let whatever comes to mind flow.

Practise as often as you can, with your friends, family, tell them that you are just learning I am sure they will be more than willing to let you practice on them and you will find that you will soon be able to offer a ribbon reading with confidence.

I hope this has helped to give you some insights into Ribbon reading. Give it a try I am sure you will be amazed at what you pick up from them.

Sand Reading:
Quote:
This is another ancient form of divination in which a quantity of sand, contained in a shallow bowl or tray, is first rendered level and then the client disturbs the surface by playing in it with their hands. The resultant pattern of ridges, furrows, depressions and so forth are then interpreted symbolically and psychically. This may be considered as an aid to Psychic Perception but at the symbolic level Sand Reading does have its own structures and is thus included as a separate form of divination.

The Consultant may have structured a format within their mind which is mentally superimposed over the sand whereby information covering past, present and future together with guidance on a variety of areas of life may be provided.

http://www.baps.ws/subjects/sandreading.htm

So basically it's like reading tea-leaves, but with sand instead of tea. I have no doubt that both methods are equally accurate, but at least with tea-leaves you can enjoy a refreshing drink first.

Flower Reading: (Taken from the website of Dr Richard A. Jelusich)
Quote:
A Flower Reading begins when you bring a single flower with you to our gathering.

Hold the flower for a few moments before you attend; meditate if you wish. The flower will hold the signature of energies that identifies you as an individuated spirit.

When you arrive, place your flower on a table along with the other flowers, careful not to touch anyone else's flower. Dr. Jelusich then enters the room: he does not know which flower belongs to which person.

One by one he chooses a flower and reads the energies they hold, including life’s purpose, strengths and weaknesses. Also included is dominant chakra and the affects to the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical condition.

On most flowers, healing energy is passed through Richard to the individual, causing activation of self-healing and clearing. Readings are extremely accurate for each individual, often including surprising information.

A free tape of your reading is included.

Invite Dr. Jelusich to do a group reading at your home!


http://www.lightnews.org/flower_readings.htm

Thanks, but I'd rather not have Dr Jelusich in my home or anywhere near it...

It's hard to believe that anyone living in the first decade of the 21st century would want to pay £50 for the privilige of sitting through this puerile nonsense, but as we've seen the Nash Manor workshop is sold out. At least Gary won't be using BrainGym illegally, as he did at a Nash Manor workshop on 27th January this year...
