Early Beginnings

One evening in 1978, I was driving over to visit a couple of friends who had just moved into a new apartment when an idea occurred to me which -- did I but know it -- was to change the course of my life.

I arrived on their doorstep and explained to them what I had in mind. Rather than have them show me around their new home, I asked them to allow me to explore it blindfolded.

For a few years I had been developing my ability to read energies around people and objects with my hands. I usually describe the technique as being able to read information with my hands in the same way that I might read a book with my eyes. I had practiced a lot in my own home and public buildings, but had never tried it in anyone else's home before, and never blindfolded.

They were as interested as I was to try this little experiment, so they hunted out a thick black silk scarf and tied it tightly around my eyes. Then starting at the front door, we began our journey around the apartment, following the inside perimeter of the walls.

I led the way, moving very slowly down the corridor and into the front room. With my hands acting as antennae, I followed the contours of the walls, furniture and other objects, never quite touching them, just sensing the energy lodged in them.

The first thing I discovered was that I could mostly tell which pieces of furniture belonged to my friends and which belonged to the landlord. The pieces belonging to my friends had a warm, familiar energy to them, whereas those belonging to the landlord had a much duller, more ponderous vibration.

We all started to get excited. "See if you can tell us what pictures we have on the wall," my friends challenged me.

This took a while longer, but I discovered I could feel very precisely where there were pictures on the wall, and when I fine-tuned I was able to tell them what color the pictures were, and sometimes the content of the picture too. They had several framed photographs of people around the apartment and I was able to name who some of them were.

"Let's see what else you can do," my friends encouraged me. They were totally fascinated now. They asked me to sense which ornaments were theirs, and we were all dismayed when my accuracy rating fell dramatically with this. At first we couldn't figure it out, and then they realized that many of their ornaments were antiques that had had previous owners and so were imbued with the energy of the previous owners too. It was this that had confused me....
