My mother was watching a marathon on psychics and mediums today and I got drawn in as well. This particular activity caught my imagination. Basically it's gazing into a mirror not at your own reflection though while sitting in a comfortable chair close to the mirror in a dark room. It's claimed to help people see deceased relatives or friends. I couldnt find too much info on it but then again I didn't try too hard so if you want a little history about it go here- http://astralthyme.com/psychomantium.html

I was wondering what would happen if you didn't go into that room with the expectation of seeing the dead but rather just gazing into the mirror? Would you see a whole unknown realm? possibly related to the dream world. I'm not even sure if I believe this because it could very well just be hallucinations or just images while in a deep state of medatation.

Could it be used as a medatation technique? A way of cultivating awareness? I just feel like there should be experiments done with this. What is everyone's take on this? Does anyone have experience with this?

(By the way, I wasn't sure where to put this topic.)
