How to Scry With a Mirror

Scrying is an amazing, ancient method of intuitively using simple reflective surfaces to see into the future, answer questions, solve problems and even find criminals or missing persons and objects. Gazing into such objects as mirrors causes the subconscious to move into a channeling state. Visions seen while scrying are thought to be intuitive messages sent from the subconscious self to the conscious self, opening the psyche.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Darkened room
• Mirror (hand or wall type)
• Flashlight or candle

1. Stand in a dark room. The bathroom is fine if you won't mind standing for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. If you prefer to sit and use a hand mirror, select a place where you aren't likely to be disturbed; for instance, your bedroom, an attic room or a secluded outside location.
2. Relax and prepare yourself through a few moments of meditation, saying a prayer for spiritual enlightenment or asking the Universe to offer you guidance. (Yes, these things do work!)
3. Hold the flashlight or candle a few inches below your face and gaze into the mirror, trying to "unfocus" your eyes. Visualize a ray of light coming from you into the mirror.
4. Relaxed and with a free, open mind, watch as your face begins to change and become fluid in the mirror's reflection. You may see an unfamiliar face, facial hair growing, the image of an animal head (cow, dog, cat or others) initially. If you look to the side of the mirror, likely you will see your spirit guide. You may even see yourself in past lives as you develop your ability as a scryer.
5. Pay close attention to the insight offered by the images you see. If they begin to form more in a mental sense rather than visual, go with these mental images and allow them to share important knowledge with you. Once you've seen these images, they will stay with you and continue to grow and become more clear.
6. Ask questions in your mind and mentally open yourself to solutions given to you during scrying sessions as you become more skilled and relaxed with this method.
7. Keep a log of the images and scenes you see depicted in scrying sessions. In time, a full "story" will unfold. Logging your insights will enable you to periodically reflect back and realize the spiritual teachings or foretelling of future events involved from your scrying imagery.

Tips & Warnings

• Try to scry only at night. Scrying is considered to be closely connected to the moon and its lunar phases.
• Be sure to keep all lights turned off and only see by the light of the flashlight or candle you are using.
• Usually done alone, another person may be in the room for a scrying session.
• If you need help interpreting images from your scrying sessions, consult reference books on mystical symbols.
• Time and patience are necessary for you to become highly accurate at this skill. Allow yourself the chance to grow and develop skill at scrying.
• Don't be afraid if you see images that may be alarming to you at first. End the session, engage in a period of rest, meditation and/or prayer, then try again later.
• Don't engage in scrying while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You want to have a clear head and perception fully intact to gain the most accurate messages from these sessions.
• If you are absolutely convinced that you have no intuitive or psychic ability at all, chances are you will be unsuccessful at scrying. Try to keep an open mind.
