For those just starting out with their mediumship journey, you may be wondering: can meditation help with mediumship? How long should I meditate for? With many mediumship teachers you may hear mixed answers with this. Some individuals might say you must meditate in order to become a good medium. Others will confess that they don’t regularly meditate, but are still able to communicate well with the spirit world! So which is it?
Overall, I do believe that meditation can help with mediumship. When we begin our journey into connecting with our soul and those souls in spirit we need to have a clear and calm mind. Without this clear and calm mind we are forever chasing our own thoughts, ideas and analyzing the information we receive from spirit.
The calmness in our mind is essential to listen to the soul and receive information. If we are unable to have a clear and calm mind then meditation is very important and necessary. However, with some individuals I do not believe it is an absolute must or an absolute imperative to meditate for a connection with spirit.
Some people will find meditation rather easy, and some people will find it rather difficult – no different than anything else that we learn in life. Meditation takes practice, devotion, and awareness. What is important is the continued practice and dedication. This dedication does not have to be daily, even weekly is fine, however find the time for yourself and spirit to sit and be with the soul of you. Finding the calmness and the ability to put the days worry is the reward for spirit communication.
I indicated a moment ago that I do not believe it is an absolute must. I do not want to lead you astray but want to clarify. Personally, I have not meditated extensively in the traditional sense of sitting not the floor. I found other ways to meditate. When I came into mediumship, I had already tried meditation but I didn’t find much success with it. While others could meditate easily, I could hardly do it because of my busy mind and the time needed.
However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t find meditation important for spirit communication and in other areas of my life. For instance, I often find places to calm my mind, like being outside and sitting quietly in nature, finding the time to be with myself, and utilizing the breath to focus and calm. Creative activities are also areas of my life that give me the opportunity to quiet down the mind. If you are creative, consider finding time to paint, draw, design, and build your creative pieces. This is a calming and can be considered a form of meditation.
Can Meditation Help With Mediumship?
Meditation is important as it calms the mind. It’s in this calming of the mind that we are allowing our own spiritual communication to open up. Our spiritual connection require the busy mind to be placed on hold for a short time.
If we are busy, anxious, unsettled, or have a lot of information passing through our minds, we are not in a state where we can receive information from the spirit world or our own spirit and soul. We cannot feel our own spirit and therefore, our spirit cannot touch the spirits that are with us at that moment.
Sitting meditation provides that time and comfort to be with oneself. In addition, one will begin to feel the subtle changes within and harness the goodness that we are. These subtle changes are sensations of tingling, feelings of energy changes around the body, hot and cold sensations, and noticeable colour changes and movement in the mind’s eye. These are, for me, areas of expansion of the auric field around us. We need expansion when it comes time to communicate with those in spirit.
How much time is needed?
This is very dependent on life and the ability that you have to spare for your development. If you can manage once a week, then that is great, if you can possible have the silence for more than once a week, that is great too as the silence helps in other areas of ones life also. There is no definitive time needed, it really is about you and your needs for your own development. Take your time if necessary to develop your awareness.
Soul Power
Our spirit and soul are needed for communication with the spirit world as the power to communicate comes from our soul – have you heard of soul power? That’s exactly what this is to me! What a wonderful thought that our souls have power. Our souls have the ability to expand and connect with others here on Earth and also in spirit. Are soul is who we are, from birth to death, We are amazing as our soul is everything we are.
I found the soul and spirit fascinating when I first started my mediumship journey. To harness my soul power, I learned how to calm my mind and be at peace with whatever is around me, which is arguably similar to meditation. When we are at peace and are able to feel the silence and the subtle changes around us, that is when we are able to connect with our own spirit.
Sitting for Communication
So, where does that leave us with meditation and mediumship? I would say that meditation is not overly crucial for those who do not need to calm the mind and develop sensitivities, or have past experiences with connecting with spirit. For those who are quite new to meditation and spirit, it is very important to have a routine of spending time with yourself with meditation music or best in the silent space and allow the thoughts to come and go, but allow yourself to focus on the breath. By focusing on the breath you may find that your thoughts calm and develop a larger awareness of your soul.
The above information has been about developing awareness through meditation for your soul and spirit. First and foremost this is about learning your spirit and soul, as your foundation and knowledge is what develops into commutation with spirit. Please continue to meditate in any way that you feel is comfortable for yourself and your mind.
I also want to bring to your insight that with the awareness of the soul, there are additional meditations that need to be considered for sprint communication.
As part of the practice of development, there is actually a practice similar to meditation called Sitting In The Power. This involves sitting in a quiet space and learning how to extend your energy out. Extending ourselves is important because it allows for the ability to connect to the spirit world. Stay tuned on my blog to learn more about the important practice of sitting in the power.
