Clear & Center Hold the object in your hands and close your eyes. Take three slow, deep breaths to quiet your mind and shift your focus from your physical surroundings to your inner "knowing."
Invite & Receive Quietly ask the loved one to share a memory or a feeling through the object. Instead of looking for a "movie," notice the first subtle impression—a sudden emotion, a specific smell, or a physical sensation in your body.
Trust & Acknowledge Accept the very first thing that comes to you without questioning it. Say "thank you" to the spirit to strengthen the bond, then set the object down and jot down what you experienced.
