Scrying is the name given to the ancient technique of gazing into an object such as a crystal ball (or skull) for the purposes of divination. Although some people can achieve visions from gazing into flames or even a shallow bowl of water or black ink, the clear quartz crystal ball is the most common method.
Anyone can learn to scry. It is all a matter of practice. If you meditate it will be much easier. If you ask a question - and place lots of energy in the answer - it will manifest faster for you.
The amount of time you use for scrying can vary from a few minutes to half hour.
You usually scry alone but more than one person can scry into the same surface at the same time for information.
Though some people go through rituals before they scry - it isn't necessary. If you wish to ask your spirit guides for guidance go ahead. Some people say a little prayer and ask for the correct information to appear.
If you are using an object - crystal - mirror - just be sure it is clean.
Scrying can be done with a number of different surfaces which include:
Water in a dark bowl - or small pool
Mirrors
Crystals - Crystal Ball Gazing
Tea Leaves - Coffee grinds
Embers in a fire at night
A dimly lit / or candle lit room
looking into the eyes of another person who sits across from you
During scrying - one gazes steadily into the scrying surface (feel free to blink or allow your point of focus to wander a bit; this is not a method of self-inflicted torture). Eventually, you should be able to pick out shapes or images in the scrying surface; these may appear as crude sketches, or occasionally with the clarity of a photograph. You will actually see these images with your eyes.
Once this happens, images may begin to form in your mind, no longer projected onto the scrying surface. When this happens, allow your attention to focus on these mental images. From this point forward, the scrying surface is irrelevant; do not be distracted by it.
As the images become clearer, you will find that you know things about what you are seeing 脨 background information will come to the surface of your mind. Pay attention to what you know about the images you are seeing.
Surfaces which provide a random, high contrast visual texture, such as black tea leaves in a white cup or orange sparks in a black ember, are particularly good for the first stage of the scrying process. However, the vividness of the visual images formed in this way may tend to pull your attention back from the purely mental images that should follow, thus disrupting the natural flow of ideas. Smooth, neutral surfaces, like the surface of a dish of black water, a crystal ball, or a black mirror, provide relatively few visual cues to get you started, but if you can make the transition to mental imagery quickly, the visual surface will obligingly fade into the background.
Mirror Scrying This can be done with a steamed up mirror which will form shapes.
You can also look at a mirrors through different angles.
Stand in a dark room. Place a flashlight a few inches below your face and stare into the mirror for a few minutes. You will see yourself in past lives. The images will also change after another few minutes. Watch the shape of your face change. You may grow facial hair. If you look to the side you will see spirit. This can also be done in candlelight - just be careful.
Scrying With Water Water represents the collective unconscious - the continuum - the flow of all things in the universe back to one source.
When scrying in a bowl of water - the bowl must be black or painted black.
You can add black India ink to the water to turn it black of you prefer.
Place the bowl on a table in front of you.
Feel relaxed - reduce noise level and bright lights. You may want to use soft music in the background.
Close your eyes and breath take two long slow breaths - breathing in through your nose - hold the breath for several seconds - then release it slowly through the mouth. Feel your mind and body relaxed and read to see with more than the normal sense.
Now open your eyes and gaze down into the bowl at the dark water.
You may ask a question in your head first, and wait for an answer. You may also just gaze into the bowl and watch for random images. They will appear - perhaps as shadows at first - but they will be there. You may see images that are larger - which means they will occur sooner. Smaller images in the background will take longer to manifest - if you are seeking personal information.
If you are working alongside another person - you may both see different things - your reality does vary with each of us.
You will be shown what you need to see - and hear what you need to hear (in your thoughts) that day.
One other method of scrying in water is to place a dish of water in a darkened room, lit from the sides by two candles. The dish in this case should be a solid, neutral color.
