How to Talk to the Dead Through Mirror Gazing

Mirror gazing as a way to connect with the dearly departed is not new. Throughout history there are examples of people attempting to communicate with the dead using a mirror as a medium. Remember, every unknown involves risk and although the chances of something happening are slim, always be prepared for the unexpected.

Things You'll Need

• Mirror
• Artifacts
• Candle

Instructions

1. Choose a mirror for gazing, considering your goal and your location. For example, if you wish to talk to a loved one and have possession of their mirror, it would be the ideal one to use. An old or antique mirror offers not only charm but history although a modern new mirror is always an acceptable option.

2. Prepare yourself for gazing by getting comfortable and finding a quiet place. Wear loose clothing, no jewelry or watch and eliminate distractions such as phones and other people.

3. Consider evoking the departed spirit with personal objects and conversation. Talking out loud about the dead and having their personal artifacts, photographs and mementos around you helps set the mood for the gazing. If the dead are listening, it will be clear to them whom you wish to communicate with.

4. Light a candle and place it safely behind you as you sit in front of the mirror at dusk. The candle should be the only light source in your quiet space. Be sure to put it far enough behind you that there is no chance of it catching on your hair or clothing.

5. Relax your mind and body as you gaze into the mirror. The technique is based on looking through the mirror rather than at it.

6. Wait for the mirror to darken or cloud over. After a while of staring into and through the mirror, your vision alters as you relax and the mirror will seemingly change depth and hue. This is expected so just stay relaxed and keep gazing.

7. Look into the mirror and calmly embrace what you find there. You cannot guide the images and visions that appear so don't try to. Let the experience unfold naturally keeping relevant questions and emotions in your mind.
