Edgar Cayce Institute of Intuitive Studies

Introduction

Carol Ann Liaros, Senior Trainer at the Edgar Cayce Institute of Intuitive Studies, has been a well-known psychic, lecturer, author, and teacher of intuition for decades. Ms. Liaros developed these techniques while she was a research subject for parapsychologists at the Human Dimensions Institute in Buffalo, New York.

During her eight years’ affiliation with HDI, Mrs. Liaros obtained 93-97% accuracy in predicting the future. She has agreed to share her creative intuitive techniques to help others use intuition in a practical way.

Henry Reed, Ph.D., Senior Fellow at the Institute, was aware that many of Ms. Liaros methods shared in common a special property, and that she had invented something of significance. Dr. Reed suggested the term, "PsiMetrics" to describe these methods and asked me, a long-term student at the Institute and someone who had taken private lessons from Ms. Liaros, to write this article describing these methods.

What is PsiMetrics? By looking at the meaning of psi, a term often used in place of psychic, and metric, a standard of measurement, we have the meaning of a new term in the metaphysical field. PsiMetrics is a standard of measurement to be used for converting psychic information that may be nebulous into a form that is specific and more beneficial to the person seeking information.

Many different types of information can be obtained through the use of the PsiMetrics. These techniques can be used to determine timing of an event, the location of physical problems, and to answer questions. They can help you decide if information is your imagination or an intuitive answer. If questions or statements are worded carefully, one or more of these techniques will provide immediate answers. The wording is of major importance in producing accurate results. These techniques are easy to use; and although they appear simplistic, they can be an invaluable aid in using intuition in your life.

PsiMetrics Techniques

Bar of Time – to judge timing of an event

When a specific time for an event is needed, imagine a bar and label it as a bar of time. Divide this bar into segments designated as days, months, years, or any other time frame you choose. Place the event at the beginning of the bar and allow your intuition to guide the event along the bar until you feel/sense/see a change. You may “feel” a resistance that indicates this is the time; the “feeling” may be experienced in several ways: heavier, lighter, fuller, emptier, or you may feel as if it is stuck at one point and won’t continue along your bar. Perhaps it will continue but will not stay; it keeps sliding back to a particular place/time. As you allow your intuition to travel along the bar, you may “sense” that this is the place to stop. You may “see” the event vanish at a certain point, “see” a barricade that will not allow you to continue, or “see” a stop sign. However, you experience the difference; this is your signal for the time of the event.

Example:

Bob has been told that he is going to receive a promotion in his job. Of course, he is eager to know when this promotion can be expected. In his imagination, Bob forms a bar of time. He decides to label the bar of time as 2003 and then divides it into twelve equal segments representing the twelve months of the year. Bob, while focusing on his question, “imagines” himself at the beginning of bar—January 2003. He very carefully allows his imagination to travel through the months paying close attention for any change. When Bob reaches September 2003, he experiences a difference in the way the bar feels. As he tries to continue to October, he finds he feels “stuck” in September and cannot move to October 2003. Bob concludes that his promotion will come in September 2003.

If Bob had continued along the bar until he reached the end and felt no change, he might decide to label the bar 2004 and proceed as he did for 2003.

Calendar – to determine what
month the event will take place

January	February	March	April	May	June
July	August	September	October	November	December

For some people it may be easier to picture a calendar with the months shown all at one time. Once you have formed the calendar in your mind’s eye, hold the event in your mind with the intention of determining the month in which the event will occur. Then watch to see what happens. One month may light up, it may change in size, or it may flash. Once again, this is your intuition and the way you perceive the change is right for you.

Example:

Janice works for a company that requires advance notice for vacations which are scheduled on a first request basis. She is planning to take a tour and is unsure which month would be best for her trip. Janice decided it would be easier for her to “see” a change in a calendar. She holds the question “Which month would be better for my trip?” as she “views” the calendar. Janice knows that it usually takes a few minutes for her to “tune in” so she patiently waits for her answer. Her patience is rewarded as the month of April becomes larger. With this intuitive input, Janice can be sure she requests the best month for her vacation.

YES / NO - methods
to obtain a yes or no answer to a question

Carefully word the question you want answered. Wording the question to be certain you are asking what you really want to know can be the most difficult step in this technique. Without precise wording, you may receive a wrong answer. Once your question has been worded to the best of your ability, hold that question in your mind and imagine/see/ sense the two words in front of you with th intent that the correct answer will come forward, flash, or change colors.

Example

Ann has taken intuitive classes and is aware of the way she receives intuitive information. Now she has decided to put that training to use. She has been dating Sam for over a year and is beginning to wonder if the relationship is going to progress to marriage. Because Sam drinks more than she likes, she wonders if it would be good for her to marry him. As she prepares herself to receive the intuitive information she wants, Ann forms her question: “Will I marry Sam?” She visualizes YES / NO and almost immediately the YES begins to flash. Ann is pleased and sure that this is the right thing for her.

Did Ann ask the “right” question? Perhaps she would have been better served had the question been phrased as “Should I marry Sam?” Ann may have received a different answer. Phrasing of the question can be of extreme importance.

Traffic Light

Red = no

Yellow = caution

Green = yes

A second technique that is useful in obtaining a yes/no answer is the traffic light. As previously stated, be sure to word your question carefully. Concentrate on your question while visualizing a traffic light and “see” which color lights up.

Example:

Bert received a substantial inheritance from his uncle. He has five years before it is time to retire, and he would like to invest the money to supplement his retirement. He wonders if it would be better to invest in certificates of deposit, bonds, or stocks. The CDs have very low interest rates, bonds are good investments, but again a low interest, while the stock market is fluctuating but overall is in a decline. Still Bert has the potential to make more money for retirement in the stock market. Bert forms his question as “Should I invest in the stock market?” He then visualizes a traffic light and “sees” the yellow light is bright. Bert takes this to mean that he must proceed cautiously if he does invest in the stock market.

Thermometer - a method to determine a price

Sometimes a person has an item that she wishes to sell but doesn’t know how much to ask for this item. Wanting to be fair but also wanting to get the best possible price, a thermometer can be used to determine the price. Also a person may want to buy an item and needs to know how much he should pay for that item.

The same technique can be used to determine the amount he should pay to purchase the object.

In your imagination, form a thermometer that is divided into segments representing dollars. You will have an idea of the maximum and minimum amount you wish to receive or to pay. Construct your thermometer putting the minimum amount at the bottom and the maximum amount at the top. Label each section of the thermometer with a dollar figure using equal amounts to ascend. Perhaps you will “see” a color move upward; you may “feel” it move upward until it stops; or you may just “know” when it has reached the highest possible point. At this point, you have your selling or your purchasing price.

Example:

Ben has a restored car that he has decided to sell. Since he has restored the car spending much time and money, he wants to know the maximum dollar figure he can ask and still find a buyer. Ben decides to use the thermometer setting a base figure to cover only the price he paid for the car plus the cost of materials he used. He has not added any labor charges for his work in this figure. With this in mind, he establishes the base figure as $8,000 and that each segment would represent an increase of $1,000. Ben, knowing that he is a visual person, pictures the thermometer and watches as the color travels upward. When the color reaches $15,000, it stops and will not go any higher. Ben now has the figure he can reasonably expect for his restored car.

Example:

Janice has a new home and is looking for an antique oak bed for one of her rooms. She has attended auctions and estate sales looking for the perfect bed. She found just what she wanted at this estate auction, but many other people are also interested in the bed. Rather than get carried away in the actual bidding, she decided to use her intuition to determine what she should pay for the bed before the bidding started. If the bid goes higher than this amount, she will just have to keep looking. Knowing that she experiences intuition through her feelings, Janice formed a thermometer in her imagination. She experienced the imagined thermometer as being empty; and when she intuited the individual levels, they “felt” full until she reached $1,250. Janice knew that she would bid up to $1,250, if necessary, but not go any higher.

Etheric Form – methods to determine answers by asking the person’s etheric form

When you need information concerning another person, you can imagine the etheric form of the person, ask him/her for the information you wish to obtain and watch to see the movement in the image to determine the answer.

Ask the person a question and watch if the person nods yes or no.

Example:

Linda has been having difficulty with a co-worker in her office. The situation has reached a point where she must decide whether to look for another job or file a complaint with the office manager.

She decides to ask the etheric form of the office manager if something can be done to alleviate the difficulty. In her imagination, she pictures the office manager, poses her question, and watches as the office manager nods yes. By relying on her intuition, Linda feels comfortable knowing she will be heard, and the situation can be improved.

Do kinesiology on the person’s arm
to elicit an answer to a question.

Example:

Eric has been planning a fishing trip for several months. Steve was very eager to go with him, but Eric has not heard from Steve in a couple of weeks. He needs to know if Steve is still planning to go so he can make the necessary arrangements. Eric pictures Steve in his imagination, asks him to hold out his arm so Steve can do kinesiology. Eric “sees” Steve hold out his arm and in his imagination tests Steve’s arm to have a basis to judge the resistance. Eric hands him a note on which he asked “Are you planning to go on the fishing trip?”

He, then, tests the arm again and finds the resistance is very strong. Eric concludes from this that Steve is still planning to go on the trip.

Have the person point to area of the physical problem.

Example:

Megan has been fretful and has not wanted to eat. Karen, her mother, is concerned that something may be wrong, so she decides to use her intuition to find out before she calls for a doctor’s appointment. In her imagination, she pictures Megan and asks if she hurts. Megan nods yes; Karen asks her to point to the part of her body that hurts, and Megan points to her stomach. With this feedback, Karen will make an appointment for Megan to be checked.

Change the image.

When you need to determine if an impression is psychic or your imagination, visualize the impression; then deliberately change that image. If the image changes back to the original picture, the impression is a psychic one. If the image stays the same after the change, it may be your imagination.

Example:

The Porters have put their home on the market and will be moving out of town. They have shown the house several times and only have one more appointment scheduled at this time. Mrs. Porter is very sure the people coming this afternoon will buy the house. Mr. Porter suggested they “test” her impression to see if it is psychic. Mrs. Porter visualizes her home; then, she deliberately changes that image and “sees” a SOLD sign over the house. To her dismay, she cannot “hold” the SOLD sign; the image of her house returns to the original one.

Example:

Jimmy has spent a lot of time practicing for the tennis tournament on Saturday. Because of the quality of the players, he decided he would be very happy to win third place; he feels he doesn’t have a chance of placing first. Jimmy’s mother suggests that he use his intuition to check out his placement by picturing the award ribbon for third place--a red ribbon, then changing it to the first place ribbon. Jimmy thought about her suggestion and decided to give it a try although he wasn’t sure he had any intuition. Jimmy pictured the red ribbon, then changed the image to the one received by the first place winner. Next he waited to see what would happen. When the award ribbon for first place stayed, Jimmy was very excited. Even though he thought it was only his imagination, this outcome gave him more confidence in his ability. When the games were over on Saturday, Jimmy had placed first; his intuition had been correct.

Where is the problem?

Where is the problem?

You may feel uneasy but are not sure what is causing this uneasiness; you may have an irrational fear that you have not been able to change; or you may feel depressed but cannot determine what is causing this depression. It would be beneficial if you knew exactly where the problem originated; is it emotional, mental, physical, could it be concern about your career, or maybe it comes from a past life. The lives one has lived in the past can affect life in the present.

To determine exactly where the problem originates, picture a half circle divided into five parts: emotional, mental, physical, past life, career/job. Once you have carefully constructed your question, hold that question with the intent of establishing exactly where the problem began. At this point, “see” the five areas in the half circle and slowly go around the circle getting a “feel” for each one. One may “feel” different from the others; it may feel heavier or lighter; it may feel full or empty; or you may “see” one getting larger, brighter, or fade away entirely. The segment which “feels” different may be the origin of the problem.

Example 1:

Although everything in her life was going well, Teresa was depressed. She could not seem to find any pleasure in the activities that just months ago seemed so good. She dreaded going to the office each morning; disliked the idea of honoring the commitments she had made; and didn’t want to talk to anyone. Teresa was afraid she was having an emotional breakdown but didn’t know how to stop it. She remembered a program she had attended last year to help her learn to use her intuition. Maybe one of the techniques would help her find the source of her depression.

After finding her notes and the process that she thought would help, she constructed her question carefully and focusing on her question, she mentally moved from one section of the symbol to the other getting a feel for all of them. Then, still focusing with the intent to find the cause of her depression, she very slowly followed the segments until she came to the physical section. This section “felt” heavier--like she was weighted down. She moved on, and the heavier feeling left as she advanced to the past life section. Now that she had a place to start, she could begin the process of getting better. Her first step was to schedule an appointment for a complete physical in order to discover what had brought about the depression she was experiencing.

Example 2:

Jacob has been afraid of heights since he was a small child and had never been able to find the reason. No one had any knowledge of a fall or even a scare connected with heights. He was embarrassed by this fear as it caused problems when he needed to fly to another city for his work.

Jacob talked to a friend about his fear of heights, and she suggested he listen to his intuition. Well, he didn’t have any intuition—or so he thought. His friend carefully explained about using the half circle divided into five segments: emotional, mental, physical, past life, and career. He insisted he did not believe in past lives but agreed to leave that segment in as he was sure there was nothing to the whole thing anyway. To his surprise, as he focused on each area, one of the areas did light up. It got very bright! When Jacob realized which segment lighted up, past life, he was even more skeptical. He agreed to have a professional “do” a regression with him just to prove there was no validity to this “stuff”.

During the regression, he found himself recalling a life in Hawaii. As a young boy, he loved the ocean and loved to dive from some of the bluffs high above the ocean. As he and some of his friends were playing on a very high bluff one day, this young Hawaiian boy decided to dive into the ocean far below. His friends were afraid and tried to talk him out of diving, but he knew he was good and could do it. A very strong breeze along this area of the island interfered with his diving, and he was swept back into the rocks at the base of the bluff and killed.

Jacob now knew the origin of his fear and could decide what he needed to do to get over this fear.

In-depth Reading or Analysis

When you need/want more information about a person, the Twelve Areas of Attunement technique provides a model that can be used for focus. Beginning with number one representing self-image and self-esteem through number twelve which deals with the unconscious, institutions, and hospitals, the twelve areas of attunement are based on the astrology wheel and comprise all aspect of life. You may not need to go through each of the twelve only those areas which are most important for your purpose. You may focus on each section in order or randomly choose the ones on which you wish to concentrate.

Example:

Garnet Charles is the Director of the Human Relations Department for a small manufacturing company. As the director for this company, it is her responsibility to hire all personnel. She has learned through keeping a record of those hired over the past five years to investigate potential employees carefully. She does a personal interview after the list of potential employees have been culled to five; and because of restrictions on what questions can and cannot be asked, Garnet has learned to listen to her intuition. When she began this portion of her job, Garnet realized that intuition would be very helpful and needed some technique to assist in getting the same type of information about each person. After working with several ways to gather the information, she decided to use a model of the astrology wheel which focuses on twelve areas of an individual’s life. With this technique, she could focus her intent on all areas, if she believed all to be pertinent, or she could focus on as few as one or two.

Her most recent hiring had been a young woman as a receptionist. This person needed to be pleasant, friendly, have good people and telephone skills, be articulate, and able to use the computer to generate reports and letters. In going over the resumes of the five she was to interview, she soon found that there was not a lot of difference between the two best ones. The personal interview would be the deciding factor on the hire. Garnet realized that both these young women would be at their best during the interview, so she chose several areas of attunement with the intent to gather as much information as possible on each one.

Her areas of choice were:

1. What type of self image and self esteem does this person have?

2. What does this person value?

3. How does she communicate?

5. Is she creative?

6. How is her health? What is her attitude toward work?

7. Since this is a small company, how is she in one-to-one relationships?

10. What image would she project to our customers?

Before meeting with each of these women and with these areas for focus, Garnet did an in-depth analysis on each. After the interviews and with both sets of notes before her, she was able to choose the best person for her company.
