Psychometry (from Greek: ψυχή, psukhē, "spirit, soul"; + μέτρον, metron, "measure"), is a siddhi through which the psychometrist can find out the history of an object simply by making physical contact with that object.

H. P. Blavatsky wrote that psychometry involves a "reading or seeing, not with the physical eyes, but with the soul or inner Sight".[1] She explained:

The psychometer sees the secrets of the Akasa by the “Eye of Siva,” while corporeally awake and in full possession of his bodily senses.[2]
