What is psychomantium?

Psychomantium is a technique that involves creating a small, darkened space where an individual can focus their attention on a mirror or other reflective surface in order to induce altered states of consciousness. The word psychomantium originates from the Greek words psyche meaning "soul" and mantis meaning "prophet". It was popularized by Dr. Raymond Moody in his book "Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones" in 1993.

The psychomantium is often used for its potential to facilitate communication with deceased loved ones. The person sits or lies down in front of the mirror and focuses on the object or person they desire to contact. The experience often involves visual and auditory hallucinations, enhanced intuition and creativity, and a sense of deep relaxation and peace. It is believed that psychomantiums can help people heal from unresolved grief, overcome fear of death, and gain insight into their own lives.

However, there is debate among experts about the validity and safety of using a psychomantium. Critics argue that the experience may be too intense for some individuals and can lead to false or distorted perceptions. Others argue that the technique may work as a form of self-hypnosis or guided meditation, but it is unclear if the experience is truly paranormal in nature. It is recommended to use caution and seek professional guidance when considering a psychomantium experience.
