Light one or two candles in a darkened, quiet room. You can hold the crystal with the finger and thumb or place it on a stand, but it should have a blue or black cloth underneath it. If the divination is performed for someone else it is recommended that the person holds the crystal in his hands a few minute before it is passed to the medium.Make sure that there are no reflections from anything showing in the ball. You can also burn incense if you wish. Remember to sit in a comfortable chair, you should be perfectly relaxed. Take a deep breath, clear your mind from any thoughts, and gaze intensely into the crystal. While you are gazing, breathe in and out slowly and deeply. This might cause you to blink or bring tears to your eyes, so try to relax them, closing them about half way. Now is the perfect time to link your third eye to the crystal: visualize a ray of light coming from between your eyes and entering the crystal. Now watch for the clouding of the crystal that will come from a small light. This is the focusing area where the vision will appear.
The clouds will develop and then clear until you begin to see precise patterns and pictures; these may appear as crude sketches, or occasionally with the clarity of a photograph. Once this happens, images may begin to form in your mind, no longer projected onto the scrying surface. When this happens, allow your attention to focus on these mental images. From this point forward, the scrying surface is irrelevant; do not be distracted by it. As the images become clearer, you will find that you know things about what you are seeing ? background information will come to the surface of your mind. Pay attention to what you know about the images you are seeing. Do not try to interpret those visions immediately, you will see a whole sequence that will lead you to the answer of your question. Don’t waste your time writing everything down, it’s best to use a tape recorder because sometimes the flow of pictures is too fast. Remember, stay relaxed and try not to confuse real symbols with what you want to see, i.e. psychologically induced patterns.
Do this for at least 15 minutes, and increase your time by 5 minutes with each succeeding session. You may have three sessions before starting the whole thing. The degree of success with gazing depends on one’s ability to concentrate. The effort taken in this enterprise will eventually pay off, do not give up if you don’t “see” anything the first time you attempt to scry!
