Overcoming Language Barriers in Mediumship Readings

Getting A Reading, Mediumship /

Mediumship is the ability to communicate with spirits who have passed away. It can be an incredibly rewarding experience for both the medium and the client. However, what happens when the medium speaks a different language than what the spirit of the deceased person spoke when they were alive? Is there a language barrier during a mediumship reading? This is a very interesting question. I have had this experience a number of times in my practice. For myself, the most common language the person in spirit spoke when they were alive is French, and the sitter along with myself speak english. But I was still able to convey messages, information and healing from the person in spirit even though they spoke French when alive. How is this possible? Language Barriers in Mediumship Readings It is important to understand that spirits communicate through thoughts, feelings, and impressions rather than through spoken language. Mediums use their abilities to tune into these subtle energies and interpret them into words and phrases that make sense to the client. Therefore the language should not be a problem in my experience. Spirits often communicate through symbols and images rather than through words. For example, a spirit may show the medium an image of a particular animal or object that holds significance to the client. The medium will be able to describe the information and significance to the client, regardless of language. Sensory Approache One approach is for the medium to rely on their sensory abilities to interpret the spirit’s messages. While the medium may not understand the spirit’s language, they can still tune into the energy of the message and convey it to the client in a way that makes sense to the client. This approach requires a degree of skill and intuition on the part of the medium, but it can be effective in delivering a meaningful message to the client. In conclusion, through careful communication and interpretation, mediums can overcome barriers of a language difference in spirit and deliver accurate and meaningful messages to their clients.

What is trance mediumship communication?

Mediumship /

Trance mediumship is a practice that has taken me years to develop. It is a very crucial skill in the delivery of mediumship readings. The practice of trance mediumship involves a medium entering into an altered state of consciousness, often referred to as a trance, to allow communication with spirits from the spiritual realm. During this altered state, the medium may be partially or completely unaware of their surroundings and may allow a spirit to use their body as a form of communication. How does trance mediumship communication happen? The process typically involves the medium going into a deep state of relaxation or trance, which can range from a light trance where the medium is still aware of their surroundings to a deep trance where they may have little or no awareness of the physical world. In this altered state, the medium may speak, write, or otherwise convey messages purportedly from spirits and guides. Trance mediumship has been practiced in various cultures and spiritual traditions throughout history, and it is often associated with spiritual beliefs. It’s important to note that beliefs about the nature of trance mediumship, and the purpose of the communication can vary widely among different spiritual and religious traditions. As with any spiritual or metaphysical practice, experiences can vary widely among practitioners. If you are interested in trance mediumship, seek out mediums who have developed over many years,  often seven or more to help guide you in your questions.   Trance mediumship is not for everyone so always keep an open mind and open heart.

What is a group mediumship reading?

Getting A Reading, Mediumship /

There is something magical about being in the presence of a group mediumship reading. For myself, this is has often happened in a church event or a group demonstration online event. A group mediumship reading is a spiritual event where a medium (or 2-3 mediums) communicates with the souls of deceased individuals that are connected to people in the group audience. There are various types of group mediumship readings. Some are more private, typically taking place in a small group at someone’s home, and other times it is done for a larger group of people at an event, either online or in a church setting. Group mediumship readings allow participants to come together to connect with their loved ones who have passed away, or to simply witness the beauty of mediumship.  Because the groups are usually quite large in a group mediumship reading, the medium(s) do not usually have time to connect with every single audience member’s loved ones. The connections that come through are completley random, and the medium can only connect with the loved ones who choose to come through to them. As such, the medium may not be able to provide messages to all those who are in attendance; only a handful of group members will receive a message. However, what is important is that even though not everyone receives a message, every group members will be able to witness the true love from the spirit world when a soul connects with a member of the audience.  The healing that takes place in a group setting is also quite noticeable for those who receive a message but also for those who witness the communication.   Here’s how a group mediumship reading generally works: Before considering hosting or attending a group mediumship reading, it’s essential to do your research and choose a reputable medium.  And remember that if you do attend a group mediumship reading and your loved one doesn’t come through, it is not because they do not love you. It is because the likelihood decreases when in a group as there are so many loved ones in spirit wanting to come through. If your loved one does come through, or you witness someone else’s come through, the event can be healing and beautiful regardless.

How to Learn Mediumship

Mediumship /

Learning the art of mediumship requires dedication and effort to become the best medium you can be.  The practice of connecting and communicating with spirits requires a combination of study, practice, and personal development. It’s important to approach this practice with an open mind, respect for the spiritual realm, and a commitment to ethical conduct.  For many mediums,  the first step in mediumship development is self reflection, self discovery and in many cases, healing of oneself. Mediumship is often a very personal journey of self discovery.  Without understanding self and soul, your process of connecting to the spirit world may not reach its full potential.    If you have an interest in learning mediumship, here are some pointers to consider as someone who has been in mediumship development for many years now: Research and seek out Mediumship demonstrations and private sittings Begin by researching and watching mediums while working.  Attend mediumship demonstrations and consider booking a private sitting with a medium.   Watch and take note of how the medium works and the information that comes through.  Take time to read about mediumship, mediums, and learn about the history, various techniques, and different schools of thought within mediumship. Engage in Self-Reflection Understand your motivations and intentions for wanting to learn mediumship.  Self reflections and understanding of self is key to knowing if being a medium is aligned with you.  Ensure you have the best intentions and a genuine desire to help others and communicate with the spirit world when learning mediumship.   Follow Ethical Guidelines Familiarize yourself with ethical guidelines for mediumship. This includes obtaining the consent of the person seeking a reading and respecting boundaries.  Do not approach people in public places as this is unethical and can be disturbing to the recipient. Understand that being truthful and honest is necessary in this field of work, and not only are you helping the client, but you are certainly working for the spirit world.  Check in with yourself and your ethics; do you feel that you have the ethics to work for spirit? Develop Your Psychic Abilities Mediumship often involves abilities such as clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), and clairsentience (clear feeling). Develop and practice these abilities through meditation and exercises to learn mediumship.  Often a person develops the psychic abilities first and practices with clients before working with the spirit world.  Consider that it may be a more natural transition to first receive feedback from a client through psychic work than to start out by receiving feedback from the spirit world. Practice Meditation and Mindfulness Regular meditation can help you increase your sensitivity to the spiritual realm and improve your intuition. It’s essential to develop a calm and focused mind.  While some people do not need to meditate to become a medium, others do.   Finding peace in the mind assists with the altered states needed to connect to the spirit world.  If you don’t have a quiet mind, consider finding time to meditate when learning mediumship. Expand Your Philosophy Learn and develop an understanding of the spirit world and how the soul and spirit is an integral part of developing mediumship.  Undertaking some commitment of studying philosophy and the great mediums that came before us who paved the way will give you a great foundation upon which to learn mediumship.   Philosophy helps develop the medium with a foundation of understanding.  Do study when time permits.  Join a Spiritual or Development Circle One area of importance for development will be working with others that are like-minded individuals whom you may practice with. Seek out local or online spiritual or development circles where you can learn and practice mediumship in a supportive environment. This is necessary to develop mediumship skills over time.  Experienced mediums often lead these groups. These development circles are often weekly or bi-weekly so consider regular attendance to gain more insight into your mediumship.  Find Mentorship If possible, find a mentor who is an experienced medium.  Often an experienced medium has worked with spirit for many years, has the history, philosophy and training,  and is willing to guide and teach you. Learning from someone with expertise can be invaluable and help understand the subtleties of mediumship.   Mentorships are often 12 months.   Practice with Others Practice is key to developing mediumship skills. Offer readings to friends and family members who are open to the experience. Consider keeping a journal to record your experiences and refine your abilities. There are times when spirit connections will amaze you. Please keep a record of these times, as there are times when mediumship can challenge you so it’s best have notes to look back on and know how far you’ve come.   One milestone that I am aware of is providing one hundred non-paid readings before charging any money.  Trust Your Intuition The foundation of mediumship is our intuition. Mediums often understand that they have good intuitive skills before they begin to learn mediumship.   Learn to trust your intuition and this will help in your development and messages you receive from the spirit world.  Doubt can block your abilities, hold you back, cause anxiousness and self doubt, so cultivate self-confidence and enjoy the experiences. Continue Learning From my experience, the spirit world wants the medium to continue to grow and learn.  The spirit world is one of the best teachers and will help the medium develop their skills.   Keep learning and expanding your knowledge. Attend workshops, seminars, and conferences related to mediumship would help with the development of the medium.   Maintain a Supportive Community Being a medium can be a lonely road.  Not everyone will understand or be able to connect with your choice of becoming a medium. Consider connecting with like-minded individuals who are also interested in mediumship. A supportive community can provide encouragement, guidance, and a sense of belonging.  Be Patient and Persistent Developing mediumship skills can take time – many years for many mediums.  It is said that one never fully develops as there is always more

Why do some people fear mediums or mediumship?

Getting A Reading, Grief & Loss, Mediumship /

Recently, I was at a family event in the summer of 2023, and two people, whom I did not know very well, approached me to ask a few questions about what I do as a medium. They both mentioned that they were fearful of seeing a medium. Why is it that people may have a fear of mediumship?  There can be several reasons, and these fears can vary from person to person. Some common reasons why people may fear mediums include: Fear of the unknown:  Some individuals may not understand or have experiences with the loving and supportive nature of the spirit world. Without the context and experience of mediumship, it’s quite possible to have some fears or anxiety around it. For myself when I first started to see a medium, yes there was worry and anxiousness but that quickly came to pass as I settled into the experience with the medium.   Religious background and belief system:   We are all brought up with a belief system even if we are not a religious person. Some beliefs in our society indicate that communication with the spirits of deceased loved ones is forbidden or a form of occult practice. People that hold part or all of these beliefs may fear a mediumship experience.     Fraudulent experiences or stories: Unfortunately in this field of being a medium, there have been cases of fraudulent mediums who prey on vulnerable individuals, promising to connect them with deceased loved ones in exchange for money.  This tradition stems back centuries and is not new. The fear of being deceived or scammed can lead people to mistrust mediums.    Emotional Vulnerability: Many people seek out mediums in times of grief or emotional distress when they are particularly vulnerable.   Their fear may stem from concerns about being emotionally manipulated or taken advantage of during such vulnerable moments.  Often I hear a client’s concern about the possibility of hearing dark or bleak information about themselves or their loved ones.  I reassure individuals that the spirit world is a loving and supportive place that does not want to harm or place harm on any one of us.    Personal Beliefs and Experiences: Past experiences or personal beliefs can play a significant role in shaping an individual’s fear of mediums. For example, someone who had a negative experience with a medium in the past may be more likely to fear or mistrust others in the same profession. While I have had positive experiences over many years, I am very aware that some people may not have. Whenever I have had a reading from a trusted, reputable genuine medium, I was provided healing and warming experiences that I keep with me to this day. It has changed me for the better. It’s important to note that not everyone fears mediums, and some people have positive experiences with them, finding comfort or healing. People’s beliefs, experiences, and cultural backgrounds can all influence their perceptions of mediums and whether they view them with fear or trust. At the beginning of each session, I check in with my client to ensure that their fears are alleviated. I am very much aware that people have concerns so I address them as soon as possible to allow the client the best experience.    If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s : How Altered States of Consciousness Can Facilitate Communication with Spirits

Grief & Loss, Mediumship /

When a loved one has dementia or Alzheimer’s, it can be challenging to watch them slowly slip away.  Sometimes these patients may appear to be communicating with a family member who has passed on. In this article, we explore the phenomenon of altered states of consciousness and how they can facilitate communication with the spirit world. Altered States of Consciousness and Dementia Individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s often experience altered states of consciousness. These altered states can manifest as dream-like states or periods of zoning out.  During these states, patients may feel and sense the spirit world, similar to how mediums perceive the spiritual realm. This connection to the spirit world can be even stronger for individuals with dementia as they are more receptive to information from the spiritual realm. The spirit world is often closer to us during times of illness and may provide love and support to those suffering from dementia. Communicating with Spirits It is not uncommon for dementia patients to speak to family members who have passed on, as if they were in the same room. This occurs when patients alter their consciousness to receive information from the spiritual realm.  As patients sit in a lucid state, they may blend with their deceased loved ones for support and love. This is a very similar process for mediums like myself who sit down to blend with the spirits of the sitter having the reading.  Supporting Dementia Patients As caretakers of loved ones with dementia, it is important to listen to the stories they tell, even if they seem far-fetched or unrealistic. These stories may provide insight into the altered states of consciousness that dementia patients experience and can help us understand the ways in which they communicate with the spirit world.  By providing support and love to our loved ones with dementia, we can help them navigate the challenges of this illness and the altered states of consciousness that come with it. In conclusion, altered states of consciousness in individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s can facilitate communication with the spirit world. While it may seem far-fetched, patients may speak to deceased family members as if they were in the same room. By understanding and supporting our loved ones during these altered states, we can provide comfort and love to those suffering from dementia.

What is Sitting in the Power for Mediumship?

Mediumship, Spirituality /

Among the various techniques employed by mediums to enhance their abilities, “sitting in the power” stands out as a fundamental practice and is something I still do regularly. In this blog post, we will delve into the depths of this intriguing concept and explore how it contributes to the development and refinement of mediumship abilities. Understanding Sitting in the Power  ‘Sitting in the power’ refers to a dedicated practice where mediums establish a harmonious connection with their inner selves, the spirit world, and the universal energy. It involves creating a state of deep relaxation and inner stillness, allowing the medium to attune to higher frequencies and receive spiritual guidance. The practice is often conducted in a quiet and comfortable environment, free from distractions. Mediums may choose to sit in a circle with like-minded individuals or practice alone. The primary purpose is to cultivate a sense of inner power, balance, and receptivity. Benefits of Sitting in the Power Attunement: Sitting in the power allows mediums to attune themselves to the spiritual vibrations and frequencies that facilitate communication with the spirit world. By entering a state of deep stillness and receptivity, they become more sensitive to subtle energies and spiritual presence. Enhanced Intuition: This practice enables mediums to develop and refine their intuitive abilities. Through regular ‘sitting in the power’ sessions, they become more attuned to their own inner guidance and gain insight into the information received from spirits. Spiritual Growth: Sitting in the power serves as a pathway for personal and spiritual growth. As mediums establish a stronger connection with their inner selves and the spiritual realm, they experience profound transformations, including increased self-awareness, expanded consciousness, and a deeper sense of purpose. Clearer Communication: By honing their ability to sit in the power, mediums can achieve clearer and more accurate communication with the spirit world. This practice enhances their ability to receive and interpret messages, images, symbols, and sensations from the spiritual realm. Developing a Sitting in the Power Practice  Creating the Right Environment: Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably, free from distractions. Some suggestions of ambience are to dim the lights, light a candle, or play soft relaxation music. Relaxation and Grounding: Begin by taking deep breaths, gradually relaxing your body and clearing your mind. Visualize roots growing from your feet, grounding you to the Earth’s energy. Opening up to Spiritual Connection: Focus on your intention to connect with the spirit world. Invite your spirit guides, loved ones in the spirit, and higher beings to support and guide you during your practice. Receptive Observation: Allow yourself to be still and receptive. Pay attention to any thoughts, feelings, images, or sensations that arise. Avoid judgment or analysis; simply observe and acknowledge. Consistency and Patience: Regular practice is key to developing your ‘sitting in the power’ abilities. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the duration. Be patient with yourself and trust the process. Sitting in the power is a foundational practice for mediumship development, offering numerous benefits to those who embark on this journey. By attuning to higher frequencies, cultivating inner stillness, and deepening their connection with the spiritual realm, mediums can enhance their intuitive abilities, experience personal growth, and achieve clearer communication with the spirit. Give “sitting in the power” some dedicated time and you may find yourself becoming lighter, happier, and more grounded. Good luck.

Exploring Early Signs of Mediumship and Psychic Abilities

Mediumship, Psychic /

Mediumship and psychic abilities have intrigued and captivated people for centuries. While some individuals possess a natural inclination towards these gifts, many are unaware of their potential. This blog post aims to shed light on the early signs that indicate the presence of mediumship and psychic abilities within an individual. By recognizing these signs, individuals can better understand their unique gifts, ultimately embarking on a profound spiritual journey if they so do choose. Heightened Intuition and Sensitivity  One of the earliest signs of mediumship and psychic abilities is a heightened sense of intuition and sensitivity. Individuals with these gifts often possess a ability to pick up on subtle energies and emotions around them. They may frequently experience “gut feelings” or a sense of knowing that cannot be easily explained.   For myself, I was able to read people’s emotions from an early age. These intuitive insights can manifest as sudden flashes of insight, strong hunches, or an overwhelming feeling of something being “off.” Paying attention to and trusting these intuitive nudges can be the first step towards embracing and honing psychic abilities. Vivid Dreams and Spiritual Encounters Mediumship and psychic abilities are closely intertwined with the spirit realm. Individuals with these gifts may have vivid dreams that feel incredibly real and may involve encounters with deceased loved ones. These dreams may offer profound messages or guidance.  See my blog on visitation from loved ones. Moreover, they might experience waking visions or see glimpses, through the mind’s eye of people or scenes that others cannot perceive. These occurrences can be a sign that their spiritual senses are awakening, and they possess a natural ability for connecting with the metaphysical realm. Enhanced Empathy and Emotional Awareness  Mediums and psychics often possess a heightened sense of empathy and emotional awareness. They are highly perceptive when it comes to others’ emotions, often able to pick up on subtle shifts or underlying feelings. They may find themselves absorbing the energy of a room or feeling overwhelmed in crowded or emotionally charged environments.  These individuals may also experience sudden mood swings or unexplained emotional shifts that align with the emotions of those around them. Developing healthy emotional boundaries and learning to differentiate between their own emotions and those of others is crucial for harnessing and utilizing their empathic abilities. Unexplained Synchronicities and Coincidences  Individuals with mediumistic or psychic potential often encounter an increased frequency of synchronicities and coincidences in their lives. These synchronicities may manifest as a series of seemingly unrelated events that align perfectly to convey a meaningful message or guidance.  For example, they might repeatedly encounter specific numbers, symbols, or names, or have chance encounters with people who share significant connections to their spiritual journey. Recognizing these synchronistic occurrences can help individuals develop a deeper understanding of their innate abilities and their connection to the greater universe. Recognizing early signs of mediumship and psychic abilities is crucial for individuals who wish to explore and develop their unique gifts. Heightened intuition and sensitivity, vivid dreams and spiritual encounters, enhanced empathy and emotional awareness, and unexplained synchronicities and coincidences are some of the early indicators of these extraordinary abilities.  Embracing these signs and seeking guidance from experienced mentors or joining supportive communities can provide the necessary tools and knowledge to nurture and utilize these gifts effectively.  Remember, the journey towards discovering and harnessing mediumship and psychic abilities is a deeply personal and transformative one, requiring patience, dedication, and a commitment to spiritual growth.

Pet Mediumship | Connecting with Pets in the Spirit World

Mediumship, Pet Communication /

The loss of a beloved pet can be some of the most difficult experiences we face in life. For many of us, our pets are more than just animals; they are family members and trusted companions who bring us joy, love, and comfort. When our pets pass away, it can feel like a part of us is missing. However, there is comfort in knowing that our pets may still be with us, in spirit. Spiritual Animal Communication Spiritual animal communication, also known as pet mediumship, is the ability to connect with animals in the spirit world. This type of communication is possible because animals have souls and can continue to exist in a spiritual realm after they pass away.  Pet mediums use their mediumistic abilities to connect with the spirits and convey messages from them to their owners. Many pet owners find comfort in knowing that their pets are still around, even if they cannot be seen. Pet mediumship can help provide closure and healing for those who have lost their beloved companions.  Pet Mediumship Pet mediumship is a specialized form of mediumship that focuses on connecting with animals who have passed away. Just like human spirits, animal spirits can communicate with pet mediums to convey messages of love, comfort, and guidance. Pet mediums receive various information from the spirit world about pets by pictures, sounds, smell and a knowing when connecting with these spirits. How to Connect with Your Deceased Pet If you have lost a pet and would like to connect with their spirit on your own, there are a few things you can do. First, find a quiet, peaceful place where you can meditate and focus your thoughts on your pet. Take some deep breaths and try to clear your mind. Visualize your pet’s spirit coming to you. You may see them in your mind’s eye, or you may simply feel their presence. Trust your intuition and allow yourself to connect with your pet’s spirit in whatever way feels right to you. Talk to your pet as if they are still with you. Share your feelings, thoughts, and memories with them. Listen for any messages they may have for you. Trust that your pet’s spirit is still around and that they can hear you. You can also seek out the help of a pet medium to connect with your pet’s spirit. A pet medium can provide more in-depth communication and insight into your pet’s well-being. Dealing with Grief The loss of a pet can be traumatic and overwhelming. It’s important to give yourself time to grieve and process your emotions. Everyone experiences grief differently, so it’s important to find what works best for you. Talking to others who have experienced the loss of a pet can also be helpful. You may find comfort in joining a support group or talking to a therapist who specializes in pet loss. Remember that your pet’s spirit lives on, and that they will always be with you in your heart. Connect with their spirit in whatever way brings you comfort, whether it’s through pet mediumship, meditation, or simply talking to them. Know that your pet’s love for you never dies, and that they will always be watching over you. Our animals are still with us I have done a number of readings on dogs, cats and a rabbit that were all in spirit.   Each one’s personality and likes, dislikes was very evident in the reading.  The owners of these pets found it helpful and healing, connecting and hearing from their loved pet. Do consider that animal communication and pet mediumship can be powerful tools for connecting with our beloved pets in the spirit world. We can find comfort, healing, and closure after the loss of a pet. By honouring our pets’ memory and connecting with their spirits, we can keep their love and presence alive in our hearts. Your pet’s love and spirit will always be with you.

How to heal from grief and loss with mediumship

Grief & Loss, Mediumship /

Grief is a profound and complex emotion that we experience when we lose someone we love. This does not always mean through death; it can also mean losing a friendship or relationship.   Grief encompasses a range of feelings such as sadness, anger, confusion, and despair. However, beneath the pain lies a beautiful truth: grief is, at its core, a manifestation of the love we had for the person we lost. We cannot have grief if we do not have love.   Grief as the Love You Had Grief can be seen as a negative emotion, associated with suffering and heartache. However, reframing grief as the love we had for someone can bring a sense of comfort and meaning to the experience. Our grief is a testament to the depth of the love we shared with the person or pet who passed away. It is a reflection of the love that filled our hearts and continues to exist.  It’s a beautiful thing to consider! When we grieve, we honour the memories, the connection, and the impact that person or animal had on our lives. We may feel overwhelmed by sorrow, but it is a testament to the love we still carry within us. Acknowledging grief as the love we had allows us to cherish the time we spent together, celebrating the moments of joy and embracing the wonderful impact that person had on our life. Grief, Mediumship, and Healing Mediumship, the ability to connect with spirits, has long been associated with grief and the longing to communicate with loved ones who have passed away. While some may question the validity of such connections, many individuals, such as myself and many of my clients, have reported profound healing experiences through mediumship.  For myself,  I had experienced calmness and happiness after connecting with my brother through a medium.   It was truly healing. Mediumship offers a sense of reassurance and healing, allowing individuals to receive messages, guidance, and even validations from their departed loved ones. These connections can bring solace, as they provide evidence that the love we had for someone is still present and that they continue to watch over us. Moreover, grief is a transformative process, and mediumship can play a role in this transformation. It allows individuals to explore their emotions, ask unanswered questions, and explore the possibility that their loved one remains close. Mediumship can offer a new meaning in life after loss. A Personal Journey Healing from loss is a deeply personal journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. However, embracing grief as the love we had and exploring possibilities like mediumship can be beneficial for those seeking comfort and healing. It is important to remember that healing does not mean forgetting or moving on, but rather finding ways to integrate the love and memories of the departed into our lives, allowing their spirit to live on within us. Grief, as the love we had for someone, is a testament to the depth of our connections and the impact they had on our lives. Mediumship offers healing, closure, and an opportunity to continue the bond with our departed loved ones. I appreciate and understand grief can be painful, embracing it as the love within us allows us to honour and celebrate the memories and find solace in the transformative power of the grieving process. I encourage you to consider seeing a medium for grief and loss during your healing journey.

What are mediumship demonstrations?

Grief & Loss, Mediumship /

Mediumship demonstrations have been around for centuries and continue to captivate and intrigue audiences today. Mediumship is the practice of communicating with spirits of deceased individuals, and mediums are individuals who have the ability to do so. Mediumship demonstrations are public events where mediums perform their abilities in front of an audience.  I have done several mediumship demonstrations myself, usually with a colleague, and I would be happy to tell you all about them. What Are Mediumship Demonstrations? Mediumship demonstrations are public events where mediums showcase their ability to communicate with spirits of the deceased in front of an audience. These demonstrations can take place in various settings such as spiritualist churches, psychic fairs, private events or even online for large audiences. During a mediumship demonstration, a medium will typically stand on a stage or on screen and relay messages from spirits to members of the audience. The medium may ask the audience to raise their hands if they can relate to the messages they are relaying, and the messages are often specific to the individual being addressed. Mediumship demonstrations can be done in a couple ways, and each medium may have their unique style. Most mediums prefer to work with one individual at a time during a demonstration.  On occasion a medium may choose to work with multiple individuals at once.  Are Mediumship Demonstrations Usually Free? The answer to whether mediumship demonstrations are usually free or not depends on several factors, including the location of the event, the medium performing, and the purpose of the demonstration. Spiritualist churches, for example, often offer mediumship demonstrations to their members for free or for a small fee. These demonstrations are typically done to provide comfort and healing to individuals who have lost loved ones. On the other hand, mediums who are professionals and perform at psychic fairs, private events, or other public venues may charge a fee for their services. The fee for these demonstrations can vary.  What Is The Purpose of a Mediumship Demonstration? The purpose of mediumship demonstrations is to provide comfort and healing to individuals who have lost loved ones. Mediumship can be a tool for grief and can offer a sense of closure to individuals who may be struggling to come to terms with their loss. Additionally, mediumship demonstrations can help individuals to reconnect with their loved ones in the afterlife and can provide reassurance that their loved ones are still with them. Mediumship demonstrations can also be a tool for spiritual growth and development. Many individuals who attend mediumship demonstrations do so out of curiosity or a desire to explore their spirituality. These demonstrations can help individuals see how another medium conducts their sessions, gain insight to the spirit world and just to be in the presence of the spirit, which feels wonderful as viewing a demonstration brings comfort and healing for those in attendance.   Mediumship Demonstrations Are Comforting In conclusion, if you are able to attend a demonstration of mediumship,  please do.  Demonstrations are meant to help individuals with their healing of lost family and loved ones,  help grow spiritually, and be in the presence of the divine spirit.  Please research your area, or online for a demonstration or sign up for my newsletter so that you may find out when my next demonstration will be.

What are mediumship circles?

Mediumship, Spirituality /

Mediumship circles, also known as spiritualist circles, are gatherings of individuals who are interested in developing their psychic abilities and communicating with the spirit world. In these circles, participants share their experiences and offer support to each other as they hone their skills. What is a Mediumship Circle? A mediumship circle is a group of people who meet regularly to develop their psychic abilities and connect with the spirit world. Originally the concept of it came from mediums’ circles where they would sit around a hearth because fire always puts people into an altered state of consciousness or a trance.  Nowadays, participants sit in a circle, either in person or virtually, and take turns practicing their mediumship skills. This may involve receiving messages from spirits, giving messages to others, or practicing other psychic abilities such as clairvoyance or psychometry. The goal of a mediumship circle is to provide a supportive environment for individuals to develop their abilities and deepen their understanding of the spirit world. In most circles, an experienced medium will lead the group and offer guidance and instruction to participants. In others, the circle may be more informal and self-guided. Why are Mediumship Circles Useful? Mediumship circles are a valuable tool for anyone interested in developing their psychic abilities and exploring the spirit world. Here are some of the benefits of participating in a mediumship circle: Support and EncouragementDeveloping psychic abilities can be a challenging and sometimes lonely process.

Can all mediums see ghosts?

Mediumship /

With mediumship, many people often wonder if it’s true that all mediums see ghosts. Throughout history, there have been numerous accounts of individuals who have possessed the ability to communicate with the dead, serving as a link between the physical world and the afterlife. It has been a subject of fascination for centuries and even now, I find that there is much more fascination since the introduction of social media and television shows. But I must say, the reality is that not all mediums see or sense ghosts or spirits, even though mediumship is often portrayed in an over-dramatic manner in society that says the opposite. What is mediumship? To begin with, it is important to define what mediumship is. Mediumship is the ability to communicate with spirits and receive messages from the afterlife. Mediums are often referred to as “psychic mediums” because they have a heightened ability to sense and interpret psychic energy.  Mediums use their abilities to communicate with spirits and interpret the messages that they receive. This can be done through a variety of methods, including clairvoyance (seeing spirits), clairaudience (hearing spirits), and clairsentience (feeling the presence of spirits). Contrary to popular belief, not all mediums have the ability to see or sense ghosts or spirits. Some mediums rely solely on their other clairs to interpret messages from the afterlife. Additionally, not all mediums are able to communicate with spirits at will. Some mediums communicate with spirits under certain circumstances and with the correct intention.  Mediumship & Social Media Misconceptions The portrayal of mediumship in some social media and television shows has contributed to the misconception that all mediums see or sense ghosts or spirits. In movies and television shows, mediums are often depicted as being able to see and interact with ghosts and spirits in a very dramatic and exaggerated manner. This portrayal has led many people to believe that all mediums possess this ability, when in fact, this is not the case. Another common misconception about mediumship is that connecting to the spirit world can be viewed as a dark or evil practice. While there are certainly individuals who use their psychic and mediumship abilities for disingenuous purposes, the majority of mediums are genuine individuals who use their abilities to help others. Mediumship can be a powerful tool for healing as it allows individuals to communicate with loved ones who have passed away. Do all mediums see ghosts? In conclusion, mediumship is complex and not all mediums see or sense ghosts or spirits. Mediumship is a complex practice that involves a variety of psychic abilities and methods of communication. While some mediums may be able to see or sense spirits, others rely solely on their other abilities to interpret messages from the afterlife.

How do you know if you’re receiving psychic information or mediumistic information?

Mediumship, Psychic /

During a reading, the reader will either receive psychic information or mediumistic information. There is a vast difference between an Intuitive/Psychic reading and a Mediumship reading, so there is a difference in the type of information that comes through. Let’s see what the difference is! Intuitive Readings & Psychic Information An intuitive person is often referred to as a psychic, and they are able to read your soul. The type of psychic information they may provide could include past, present and future information about yourself. What is very important to recognize is that past and present psychic information should be provided with accuracy so that the future information is more trusted. If a psychic is unable to read your past, that they may not be able to read your future either. When an intuitive person reads you, there is nothing about the spirit world involved.  A psychic reading focuses on what is happening with you specifically, and where you are at now.  How does the psychic do this? Well, we all have energy from the soul, and this energy can be read either through the colours that surround you, i.e your aura, or also through the clairsentient feelings the psychic receives. They are able to provide a lot of details from your life, and able to assist you with moving forward. We all have this information within our soul. We all have our life history and our life path within us, and this is what the intuitive psychic accesses when reading you. Intuitive readings are often a very healing process when we see an intuitive psychic to help us along on our path. There are times in our lives where we need the perspective of an intuitive reader to help.  I know I did for a few years and helped immensely! Today, I look forward to reading people and helping them. Mediumship Readings & Mediumistic Information Mediumship readings are very different in the way the medium provides information. A medium is able to blend with family and friends who have passed over, and can relay information from them. Often in a mediumship reading, the spirit family will also be able to send pictures to the medium’s minds and feelings of the past, present and sometimes the future. However, their main objective is to support the client and to send loving messages.  A medium also wants the client to know that their loved ones are there with them and share great memories of their life. Therefore in a mediumistic reading, it is important to know that it’s the family and friends who are communicating, and the information flows through the medium but does not come from the medium. It’s important to note that while an intuitive psychic reader may not always be a medium, a medium is both always a psychic for the client and a medium for the spirit world. That is to say, you cannot be a medium without also first having psychic abilities. So how do you know which type of information is coming through? Simply put, it’s the reader’s connection to you for your life purpose that delivers the psychic information during an intuitive reading. It’s all about you! And for a mediumship reading, it’s more so information about the deceased spirit’s earthly life; the reader’s connection to spirit is what delivers the mediumship information. Both types of readings are very healing and supportive, and for myself, I like to do a blended reading where I read both the sitter (psychically) and the spirit world (mediumistically). In both cases, it’s the upliftment of your soul and the soul that has passed that wants the best for you.

Is it safe to see a medium when grieving? 

Grief & Loss, Mediumship /

Firstly, if you’re wondering whether or not it’s safe to see a medium when grieving, I suspect that you’ve lost somebody recently and for that I am very sorry. Our loved ones mean the world to us, and without them, our lives can change significantly.   When we are grieving, I’ve often said that the depth of our grief is equal to the depth of our love. Deep grief comes from deep love, and without the deep love, we would not have the grief that we experience.   For myself, I know personally what it’s like to grieve deeply, and I can attest to how much my life changed after the unexpected loss of my brother. We try to carry on. We attempt to have a normal daily life in whatever way ‘normalcy’ would have looked like, but we miss family dearly.     What is grief? Grief strikes deeply at the heart and changes us all. To grieve is to go through some of the most difficult times of our lives. It is not easy to maneuver through the emotional challenges of grief, however, each day we learn just a little bit more, and we work at having just a bit more normalcy in our lives. The deep emotions of losing someone special is felt for many years to come. Because of this, we often live a long time with grief. We know deep in our heart that we grieve daily for those who have passed before us.   When in our grief, often we look for answers to many types of questions. Why did that person have to pass? How do I live without them? Are they okay in the spirit world? Ultimately, we are looking for a little bit of peace in our heart. Often, individuals will come to a medium to learn about the spirit world, to have an experience of connecting with a loved one that has passed, and to hopefully get some peace in their heart, knowing that their loved one is okay and is able to send messages and evidence through a medium.  Why it’s safe to see a medium when grieving I believe it is safe to see a medium when grieving as the medium will bring evidential information from the spirit world, which can be very healing. Evidential mediumship is about providing information that only yourself and your loved one in spirit would know. The evidence could be shared memories, physical items, pictures, descriptions of homes, emotions, and/or any evidence of your life after they have passed. There would be no way that the medium would have any access to this information outside of the reading, hence why it is referred to as evidence of your loved one in spirit coming through.   When we receive evidence of mediumship, there is a warming of the heart, an awakening of the possibility that our loved ones are carrying on in the spirit world. I do believe that the soul does carry forward after physical death, and that is what a medium communicates with during a reading.    While I believe it is safe to see a medium when grieving, I would advise leaving a bit of time after the person’s passing and before seeing a medium, to allow the grieving process to occur. For instance, I’ve had individuals come to see me three or four months after a loved one has passed, and the mediumship reading was heartwarming, healing, and very supportive. My only caution The only concern that I caution everybody with is to not see a medium too often. We must allow ourselves to grieve internally, and not rely on a medium to bring forth messages and evidence. There are times when individuals become too reliant on mediums for their healing process, and for this reason, we must be careful not to repeatedly seek out a medium. My standard policy is six months between readings. For other readers, it may be more or less.   I sincerely believe that it is safe and supportive to see an evidential medium when grieving. My main piece of advice is to research a medium thoroughly before booking with them. Evidential Mediumship is so important to our healing by helping the soul and bridging the connection from loved ones in spirit. It’s important that you find the right medium for both you and spirit.

Do psychic mediums secretly read people in public?

Mediumship /

This is an interesting question! It’s only natural to wonder if people who have psychic abilities read people in public all the time. However, I must say that this is generally not the case. I say generally because the sensational spectacle of TV mediums showcases many examples of mediums reading people in public, like at the check out counter, the bakery, a place of business etc. Pop culture and social media makes it look simple and easy to read people in public, however, most mediums and psychics do not subscribe to this method, and here is why!   Why psychic mediums don’t typically read people in public It is my opinion that when a psychic reads people in public by approaching unknowing individuals or people they’ve only just met, this is a violation of that person’s private space. A medium or psychic should not be entering into psychic discussions and channeling information without the consent of the individual. Also, approaching individuals with a psychic reading while in public is simply not necessary. The only reason why psychic mediums do this is for their own gratification. All ethical professional individuals should try to maintain healthy boundaries, and a psychic medium is no exception. Being a psychic medium requires boundaries When I am not in a reading with a client, I am closed off with my abilities and intuition. I simply am just me! If we didn’t close off our intuition and just be ourselves, we would be in a heightened state of awareness of sensing and feeling all the time, which would become very draining and affect our daily lives energetically. If a psychic medium is a professional and practicing regularly with their gifts, it is important to take breaks, have vacations and allow for downtime in their schedules. For myself,  I only read for people when a client has hired me to do so. Other than this, I do not read people outside of working hours. This is the healthiest way to have a connection with yourself and the client or person in the spirit world. Are you considering becoming a professional psychic medium? If you are practicing to become a professional psychic medium, please take my advice and do not approach people in public or randomly give readings to friends at a party. We never know if we are affecting people negatively by spontaneously approaching them. You just never know – they may not want your reading, and it may affect them negatively. If someone wants a reading, they’ll come to you and book one. So it’s best to leave readings for when a client professionally hires you for one.

Are People Born A Spiritual Medium? | Mediumship Development

Mediumship /

If you are interested in mediumship development, you may wonder – are people born a spiritual medium? Or do they become one later in life? How would this feel for myself? We are all born with many abilities that make us unique individuals. This is part of our human experience and our soul path through life. When we speak of becoming a medium though, it is our uniqueness and life experiences that will assist in mediumship development – not whether or not we are born a spiritual medium already.   Let me explain. Where does mediumship development start? Often, people who are drawn to mediumship may have a family history of parents and grandparents or other close ancestors who are very intuitive. Consider the possibility that your past family members may be very gifted, sensitive or Intuitive. This often is passed down through the generations.  An intuitive person will often have the ability to sense and feel others early on in life, providing them with a sense of their surroundings and how others feel. These individuals often know that they have gifts and abilities to sense, feel and read people. One could say these people were ‘born’ with an intuitive nature. On the other hand, there are individuals who work diligently to develop the ability to communicate with the spirit world. Over many years of training and studying, people can learn how to communicate after a spark of interest in this subject.    To be able to communicate with the spirit world depends on where you are on your journey of life. The journey of life is very important as mediumship development unfolds naturally and beautifully over time. At the end of the day, mediumship development begins with the self, regardless of what skills you were born with or intuitive development in your past family history. You don’t have to be born a spiritual medium to practice mediumship Some individuals are naturally sensitive at birth, while others gain more of an understanding of the spirit world later in life. Neither is better or provides more abilities when developing for the spirit world. The development of mediumship depends on your own sensitivity, your life path and your commitment. The soul develops in our own unique way and provides the power that connects the spirit world with us here on earth.  Please consider this when thinking about becoming a medium and how well you may be at this work!   Let me ask you a question. Can everyone play piano? Technically yes. We all can learn how to play a piano, pound on the keys, and make noise come out. Few of us have the raw talent that makes it effortless to play beautiful music on the piano though. Most of us have to take many lessons and practice endlessly to be able to play well. The same is true of mediumship. Mediumship is available for all to learn, and we will learn at our own pace and in our own time. We may never know our skills unless we put in the time and effort to continually blend with the spirit world. For myself, I was not naturally born a spiritual medium; I chose to be a medium. Long ago I witnessed a medium deliver a demonstration at a local church and thought it was fascinating and healing at the same time. I then pursued the study and mediumship development with no prior experience connecting with spirit.  I developed the skills necessary to hold the communication link and have worked hard to maintain a relationship with spirit. I believe that everyone who is sensitive and drawn to this field has the ability, and it’s just a matter of awakening and developing it. Regardless, if you have sensitivity and intuition in your past family or discovered your abilities later in life, know that the important work you can do as a medium to help others is superior to how your abilities came about. When we work for the spirit world, somebody is looking down and thanking us for the ability to connect their family on Earth to those in spirit. The spirit world has much gratitude for abilities we have to share, regardless of how we acquired them.

Don’t Give Up On Mediumship

Mediumship /

I have to say, sometimes I feel I want to give up on mediumship! It’s interesting how there are some activities that make us happy, and bring us joy. However, the world we live in sometimes challenges us on what we can and can’t do. Many of us know that life is not always easy. I say all this because mediumship is one of those things that falls into this category. Mediumship is not easy to learn and on average it takes a person about seven years to learn intuitive and mediumship skills, and learn the philosophy, understand the ways one could connect to spirit, and understand all the various clairs to help them be the best medium they can be. It is a craft. And believe me, there were many times I wanted to give up! I wanted to walk away from my craft because I did not think I was good enough, and sometimes compared myself to others as I felt they were more advanced then me. Isn’t this a travesty of the spirit? When one discovers a true passion such as mediumship, the colours of their soul, their happiness, the brightness shines through, and yet they may have the thought more often than not to give up.    Why do we often feel like giving up on things we love?  Why is it that we sometimes want to give up on things that make us happy? This is not only mediumship but life in general. That inner dialogue is sometimes the biggest challenge to overcome, and often it is heightened in mediumship. When we work with our sensitivity, we often find that mediumship can be emotional, can cause us to trigger all the difficulties in our lives, but it can also create healing for ourselves. I ask myself, why do I do this work? Why is this so important to my heart and soul? For me, it is because when I help others, I help myself. The love of mediumship is so strong that I am able to work in both worlds which provides much satisfaction. Mediumship not only heals ourselves, but it heals the spirit world. When we, the medium, heal two worlds, we have done our job. Message Received: Don’t Give Up On Mediumship! The other day, I happened to be working on a spirit board with family, and the spirit board clearly wrote: Arlene, don’t give up. I was astonished as most times there is no message for me, but there is usually a message for others I am with at the time. I was in awe that the spirit world had been listening to my contemplations about taking more time for myself and leaving mediumship. When I saw this message on the spirit board, I realized that the spirit world loves me and accepts me for who and what I am.       Mediumship is a long road of learning and my tutor has often said “You only become the best medium the day before you pass to the spirit world.” She indicated that we continue to learn and evolve with our mediumship and we continue to grow. I love the idea that we all continue to grow and learn from spirit, however, I know it’s not an easy road. The mainstream media and television shows make it appear like it’s much easier than what it is! As if all contacts with the spirit world are 100% accurate. But in reality, mediums often are not able to reach this exceptionally high number. I always try for 100% of course, but often on average only get about 80% accuracy. Regardless, I am quite happy to be the source for healing and the in-between medium for spirit and my sitter. If you happen to be a medium and are contemplating giving up, please don’t! And please always know that the spirit world loves you, listens to your thoughts and wants the best for you. The spirit board recently indicated that I must not give up; they love me and want me to continue the healing work that I do. So allow me to be your spirit board today and provide you the same message.

Signs From Our Spirit Family | Dimes & Butterflies

Grief & Loss, Mediumship /

It’s a beautiful thing to receive signs from our spirit family. Sometimes when we see these signs, it may be because we’re having a difficult day and thinking of our loved ones. I would love to share with you the significance of dimes and butterflies in life. How Signs From Our Spirit Family Can Show Up I am aware that spirit is able to draw, move items and manipulate items for positive outcomes. How do I feel this works? Well, everything that is living is energy – the birds, the bees, the trees, the elephants, the lizards, along with ourselves. We create energy with our spirit and soul, and this energy, along with the energy of the spirit world, allows dimes and possibly other items like feathers and pictures to move.    There is a universal law which suggests that the spirit world cannot take any items that belong to anyone, except for items that are already lost, or items that can easily be moved but not taken. For instance, dimes are often a lost item and they can be extracted from the Earth’s dirt. Pictures and drawings can easily be moved, but not removed. For all of this to occur, there’s a collaboration between the spirit world and your own energy that allows objects to move. When we are experiencing grief or loss, or when we’re contemplating within ourselves, we create an energy connection. Spirits use this connection to show us they’re there for support. Dimes Finding dimes does not always mean you’re having a difficult day even though this seems to be the theme of dimes in my experience! I do feel that it is often when we are at a loss, feeling down and uncertain about the next steps in life that a dime may appear.   However more importantly,  dimes may also appear as an “I love you, and I am thinking of you.” Dimes by a bedside table, on top of a closet, inside a drawer or areas where a dime has never been before are remarkable as they often just appear out of nowhere. When a dime appears, consider what you have going on in your life,  what you have been contemplating or if you are having difficult days. Consider what is happening. For some, dimes are a show of support and love, a form of communication to you and with loved ones in spirit. Are all random dime sightings a sign from the spirit world? Well no, because some dimes are just there in life. However, the next time you find one, consider where the dimes may have come from. Did you lose some change in that area? If you cannot determine how a dime may have arrived in an unusual spot looking right at us, I Would like you to consider that this is a positive form of communication from spirit. Butterflies Butterflies can prompt the question – are the butterflies my family member? I feel that butterflies are more of a synchronicity about being in the correct place, and not necessarily a sign from the spirit world. However, I must say that if you are thinking of your loved one, or often in deep contemplation, and if a butterfly, a hummingbird or a small bird shows up and watches you, consider that your loved ones are there. If you feel this is your family then know that in your heart of hearts this is your family communicating! I believe there is a great possibility that the energy of the butterfly or bird is the love of your family.   I hope you find some comfort in my beliefs of the positive energy and communication that comes from the spirit world, and if you have any thoughts on this please don’t hesitate to comment.
