From the beginning of time, the one persistent question has been, “How does one make direct contact with the crystal ball?” Immediately three words present themselves: belief, concentration, and patience.

All professional seers, like all professional clairvoyants, cultivate deep breathing, for they are aware that their psychic powers are enhanced their lung capacity. Deep breathing is a great aid to concentration, just as physical ease helps to erase irritability and ensure a patient attitude.
The time factor enters strongly into gazing. There are three periods during the day that are ideal to consult the crystal ball: sunrise, midday, and sunset. It is generally accepted that sunrise is the most propitious, for it symbolizes a new beginning. This does not preclude other hours between dawn and dark times to avoid using the crystal ball are the dark hours from nine o’clock in the evening until dawn.
