Developing Mediumship

Product Information

Spirit energy is warming, nurturing light that supports you, but the power, being that it is so pure, can take a bit to get used to.

Comparing Mediumship to playing the piano is the easiest way to describe the process. Some people have an ear for music at a very young age and the piano comes effortlessly to them. Others grow up without any musical talent, but there is a moment in life where they are drawn to learn how to play the piano. They sign up for a class and find a teacher to help them with the proper techniques to learn how to play. Consistent practice helps them develop their skill for playing the piano. The journey of the spiritual medium may take many routes. You might be called to be a healer, or a tutor orconsultant at the College, or a person who gives comfort in bereavement. It may be that you feel called to use your gifts in combination with tarot or lenormand cards or palm reading. All of these skills are opportunities to use and develop your psychic mediumship gifts to help others. You will be guided every step of the way, so listen closely to what your guides and helpers direct you to do, and dive in! Remain detached Connecting with Spirit can feel large because it's such giant bright energy. Connecting to Spirit in a group in a class can help it feel more attainable and manageable. Try a variety of visualisations to find the one that works most effectively for you. It is essential to keep yourself protected because this helps you maintain your own vibration and it insulates you from the energy, moods and influences of others. Trust yourselfDominic will be coming for another in-person retreat at Spirit School again in May! In the meantime, we will be doing another online mediumship workshop: Clairtangency (also known as psychometry): The act of or ability to perceive information from a place or object. I often use photographs when teaching psychometry. Find a group of like-minded people where you can share your experiences, learn from the experiences of others, and ask questions. Sharing information can be powerful and validating when discovering your mediumistic abilities. When you learn how to connect inwards, your own desires will be clear. Your intuition will hold you with love, clarity, and reassurance that deep within you know what you want. While it may not provide all of the hows and whys it will show you the way. Starting to act on your own desires and not those of others can quite literally bring you into the light. You can feel less burdened by the judgments of others and at the same time begin attracting new people into your life that are in alignment with you. If you are clairvoyant, you may rely heavily on the images you see to convey the messages of Spirit and pay less attention to receiving clairaudient information or sense.

The key to being a psychic medium is intuition. Have you ever thought of a friend hours or minutes before they call you? Or perhaps you've experienced an overwhelming urge to go somewhere, only to realise, in retrospect, that there was a very good reason for going there. Alternatively, you may just know something about someone without them telling you, or you may sense that something is going to happen before it happens. It could be that you can detect when someone is telling a fib. That's your intuition in action.

Say it as it is

Connecting with Spirit in a swirling cloud of emotions, confusion is not the best way to open up a clear channel. A mediumship reading may take place in a group or private setting. In a group setting you will hear others receive messages from their loved ones and possibly receive a message yourself. The information revealed by the Medium will never be too private or personal. This is also a chance to see how a Medium works before investing in your own private session.

You sometimes meet people and “just know” things about them or their lives without them telling you. clairsentient ('clear feeling') is about feeling information through the body, for example, you might feel anxious if the person you are reading foris stressed, or you may experience a pain in our kidney if they have an issue there. When your Guides, Angels and Loved Ones feel you're ready to begin taking your abilities to the next level, they'll start sending you signs.New Age practices have popularized crystals, tarot cards, flowers essences and other “tools of the trade” however the only thing needed to practice mediumship is you. Your Spirit, the eternal part of you that is all loving and connected with all life, is all you need to connect. The source of the power that it takes to practice mediumship is the love each of us have within us. I am a huge advocate of connecting with like-minded people and finding a safe space to practice and develop, however I believe that all that is truly needed is you and your Spirit Guides to learn mediumship. Clairgustance means “clear tasting.” A Spirit person may communicate to you through Clairgustance to convey evidence of their likes or dislikes in food or other things that may be tasted, for example a cigar, special drink, or spices that link to their unique culture. This article consults The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary by June G Bletzer PhD, 1986, a copy of which is in the College library. Have you been developing your mediumship skills and you’ve been feeling like you’ve hit a plateau? Or maybe you’re just starting out on your mediumship journey and have no clue where to begin. Think about other hobbies and sports you’ve developed skills for. Was it satisfying? How long did it take you to develop confidence in your skill set? Mediumship development is similar and it takes consistent practice for continued growth.

Clairvoyant or “clear seeing,” in mediumship or intuitive work, refers to seeing or perceiving information through images or visions. Clairvoyant images may appear in the same space as your imagination but will be clearer and easily recalled. There is also a rarer type of clairvoyance called objective clairvoyance where mediums may see objectively—outside their mind—with their physical eyes.” Try to trust what you would receive, even if it is received through a method not within your safety zone. For example, you usually get visions, but now you are getting sensations. Most mediums sense the energy of Spirit before they ever see or hear a Spirit-someone. Just as most people can sense when someone walks into a room with them before they ever turn around.Mental mediumship is communication to spirits through the mind of the medium. Much like evidential mediumship, the medium will blend their mind with that of the spirit communication to relay evidence and messages to their loved ones that are still here on the earth plane. Many people use this term to differentiate mental mediumship and emphasize it’s conversation like nature from trance mediumship or physical mediumship. I dislike the term mental mediumship and feel it’s not accurate because this type of mediumship although it may seem “mental” is an expression of the soul and mediums actually work very hard to keep their conscious mind from interfering in their mediumship. The term evidential mediumship or psychic mediumship I find much more helpful in explaining how I work.
