And finally... How did you do? Well done if you were able to identify any of the subjects from their handwriting. But don't worry if you didn't. It takes time and practice to develop psychic skills of any kind. There is nothing more unique to a person than their handwriting. It's a visual capture of their thought process at a specific moment in time, like the grooves in an old vinyl gramophone record. Graphological analysis can reveal a certain amount; but intuitive interpretation can, in my experience, reveal a lot more. In the days before email, I received scores of letters every week from people asking for help and advice on a range of issues - missing persons, health problems, relationship difficulties and so on. And whenever I made a radio or TV appearance, or received a write-up in a national newspaper, the number of letters I received usually increased to hundreds or even thousands in a single week. Reading and replying to letters is far more time-consuming than most people realize. Many of the letters I received were lengthy and rambling accounts of the writer's life and circumstances, often taking up a dozen or more sheets of paper (and usually written on both sides). Very few writers master the art of getting straight to the point. Sometimes small objects fell out from between the pages I was reading - photographs, bus tickets, newspaper cuttings, even rings, bracelets and other small items of jewellery - which the senders hoped I would be able to psychometrize or use as a psychic link. Many people enclosed bank notes or cheques, which had to be returned. While I did my best to reply to as many letters as I could, this usually amounted to no more than five or six a day. The rest were returned to the sender with a standard note of reply, thanking them for their interest and recommending books and other resources which hopefully they would find useful. This was before the advent of the web (yes, there really was life before Facebook and Google!) so one couldn't simply direct people to a helpful website as one can today. Since I knew I was only going to be able to reply to a handful of letters, the problem was to find a way to prioritize them and identify the most urgent cases without having to open and read through hundreds of less urgent (and in many cases trivial) requests for help. This is when I first began to psychically "scan" letters without opening them, by picking up impressions from the handwriting on the outside. I combined this with psychometrizing the letter while holding it for a few seconds between my palms, and I quickly became adept at identifying the letters from people with serious problems on which I was able to advise. Nowadays, of course, people send emails instead of writing letters (though I still get a steady trickle of snail mail). Still, it's a very useful technique, and it's a great exercise for beginners trying to improve their psychometric skills. The next time you receive a hand-written letter, see how much of the contents you can "read" before you open it. You might be surprised by how much you can pick up. Zak Martin
