Scrying and Crystal Gazing
Scrying is a
general term for the practice of obtaining divinatory or spiritual visions by looking
at fluctuating patterns of light. Typically the scryer uses a reflective surface
such as a mirror, crystal ball, or pool of water, or gazes into the swirling of
clouds, fire or smoke.
By focussing gently but intently on the visual patterns, a mild trance state can
be induced in which recognisable shapes and images may be seen. These visions are
often interpreted as communications from the spirit world. However, most psychologists
believe that the images stem from the unconscious mind of the scryer, or simply
represent the active tendency of the brain to create meaningful perceptions, especially
of faces and human figures, from random stimuli (a phenomenon known as pareidolia).
Using Scrying Trainer
The free online Scrying Trainer randomly generates
a constantly moving cloud-like pattern in a simulated crystal ball.
Important Note: Because of the flickering patterns of light produced,
Scrying Trainer should NOT be used by people who may experience photosensitive epileptic
seizures.
To use the trainer, you should relax and allow yourself to passively
watch the pattern of swirling clouds. Just allow any shapes or images to appear
before your eyes. Don't force it.
Start with about five minutes at first, until you are comfortable and
familiar with the process. You may want to experiment with different speeds and
sizes until you find the combination that works best for you. You can then try longer
periods of scrying.
As you are watching the images form, you may want to speak out (perhaps
into a voice recorder) the impressions you receive. Some people also like to ask
questions of the "spirits" as they are scrying.
