waggling her fingers over a crystal ball and telling you the winning lottery numbers."I wish I could tell you those numbers! The future, as Jonathan Cainer will tell you, is not so cut and dried ... everything remains possible.But I still think of myself as a psychic, someone who uses all his senses - including that elusive one which scientists have yet to define. And I must confess to a fondness for crystal balls.In my home there are many beautiful crystals, many of them raw and full of jagged energy, some of them smooth and spherical. There's even a crystal ball on the nose of my Cadillac.For centuries people have used the reflective surfaces of crystal to help them divine the possibilities of the future. When I am looking for guidance from my sub-conscious, or simply seeking to relax, I crystal-gaze too. the ancients called it 'scrying'. If you'd like to experiment, find a stone with a polished, barely reflective surface. A clear rock crystal is good, and so too is darkly shining obsidian or jet. The stone could be as large as a football or as small as an ear-ring. You can even use the blank screen of your computer monitor.Lower the lights, and stare quietly at your reflection. Look for pictures the way you would in a flame - idly, without forcing the images. Often nothing will be visible, but a faint picture will echo in the back of your brain.Remember, you are not looking for the one-and-only future.You're finding possibilities from inside your own mind. The lottery numbers won't be there ... but the hints to your heart could be worth even more.
