Scrying is a form of divination that allows visions to come to a person through a black mirror, crystal ball, tinted water..ect.ect.

 

This is a form of divination that takes MUCH practice and most are easily discouraged by the first few try's. Don't be!

It does take a while for most people to get the hang of. It does take a clear mind and meditation is almost a must with scrying.

 

A simple way to use scrying is to take a large bowl of water, tinted with food colouring. I find, the darker the better. Even with crystal balls, it is most helpfull to hold it in a black cloth as you look into it.

 

Keep the water, mirror, ect....at close distance where your gaze naturally falls. This way you are not straining your neck trying to look down into it.

 

The lights should be dim and you should be free of distractions..turn of your phone. The dim lights, unfocus everything around us a little easier, however if you are out in nature, the background could actually be benificial.

 

Start to breath deeply and hold your breaths in and out for a count of four...or whatever is comfortable for you. Start a meditation to bring your mind into a "spiritual state".

 

Now we are not looking at the water...or mirror, ect..but rather looking INTO the water. Don't strain your eyes, blink by all means!

 

This may take some time for anything to happen. Often people start to see smoke or clouds, this is a first sign that you are doing it correctly. Continue to breath and gaze.

 

Keeping a note pad handy for after your session is very usesfull to write down anything and everything you saw, or felt, ect...

 

Once you are comfortable and find it a bit easier to use, it is then that you can start using focal points, having questions or asking for guidance.
