While not entirely common, Water Readings can be an accurate and fun way to receive psychic and intuitive information about your sitter. Almost everything holds an energetic imprint, and we also leave energy residue on everything we touch, which means everything we touch can potentially be used to ‘read’ us. As long as it is clean of other people’s energy of course.
In fact, healers in some Indigenous cultures have used this technique in the past. They would get their patients to place their hands in a bowl of water, and then the healer would intuitively ‘read’ them.
If nothing else, it would certainly be something fun to try!
To prepare: Make sure you have a solid bowl and clean distilled water at hand. You and your sitter can also set an intent for the ‘reading’, or you can just follow the flow of where the information needs to go.
Step 1
Find a quiet and comfortable place to set up your equipment. Fill your large bowl with distilled water without placing your own hands inside as yes. Give it a swirl and leave it to settle for 5-10 minutes.
Step 2
Ask your sitter to sit facing the bowl, getting them to place their hands in the water and gently move them around for 1-2 minutes. They can remove their hands and give them a dry when time is up.
Step 3
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax and submerge your own hands in the same water, moving them around gently and slowly. Pay attention to every detail. The rule of thumb is that whatever comes up for you throughout a reading is always relevant to your sitter.
Step 4
What information are you receiving? Focus on the images, thoughts, feelings and knowingness that begins to drop into your awareness through your mind, and the feelings in your hands.
Step 5
Tell your sitter everything you receive!
