CONNECTING WITH THE SPIRIT WORLD THROUGH MEDIUMSHIP

Mediumship is a way to bridge the gap between the physical world and the spirit world. Mediums act as channels, communicating with beings such as angels, spirit guides, loved ones who have passed over, and other higher-dimensional entities. By raising their vibrational energy and having spirits lower theirs, a medium can create a space for connecting and communication. While everyone has psychic abilities, mediumship is a more advanced skill, which is why people often say, “All mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums.”

What Is Mediumship?

Mediumship comes in several different forms. Mental mediumship involves connecting with a spirit’s essence, channelling messages, or using tools like Oracle cards. On the other hand, physical mediumship occurs when spirits make their presence known in tangible ways.

Here are a few common examples:

Table Tipping: Participants lightly rest their fingertips on the edge of a table, often singing to raise energy. As spirits draw near, the table might move, knock, or even appear to “dance.”

Spirit Boards: Often misunderstood, these boards allow spirits to guide a planchette to spell out messages. Despite their portrayal in popular culture and movies, they can be safe when used with positive intentions.

Trance Mediumship: In this form, a spirit temporarily blends with the medium, sometimes causing changes in voice or appearance. Contrary to Hollywood’s wild dramatizations, it’s not possession but a cooperative process.

Physical Phenomena: This involves sounds or objects materializing seemingly out of nowhere.

Ectoplasm: In some cases, a white substance appears around the medium during a session. While controversial due to so many instances of fraud, it has historically been associated with physical mediumship.

Can Mediums Really Communicate with the Dead?

One of the most common questions is whether mediums can genuinely connect with those who have passed on. While movies and TV shows often sensationalize mediumship, real-life experiences are far more grounded. For many, it’s a deeply intimate and healing process.

Mediumship can bring peace by showing that loved ones continue to exist in a different form on the other side. It offers closure and reassurance that they are still present, just in another realm.

Some organized religions discourage mediumship, some often passionately so, often labelling it as taboo, wicked or demonic. However, historical texts, including some parts of the Bible, mention instances of mediumship. Figures like Joan of Arc are believed to have had mediumistic abilities, offering further evidence of its validity.

What Happens After Death?

A common misconception is that spirits get "stuck" between realms. In truth, most spirits transition to the light naturally. The afterlife is thought to have different levels of awareness, much like grades in school.

For example, someone who committed harmful or vile acts during their lifetime might go through a period of “clearing,” reflecting on their actions and their impact on others. This process is often described in accounts of near-death experiences and life-between-life hypnosis.

Do Loved Ones Visit Us?

Many people wonder if their loved ones visit them during dreams. The answer is yes. When we sleep, our churning and logical minds are at rest, making it easier for spirits to connect with us. Dreams are a common way they communicate, especially when grief or overthinking blocks us during waking hours.

Channeling vs. Mediumship: What’s the Difference?

While mediumship often involves direct communication with spirits, channelling is a lighter form of trance. Some channelers connect with their higher selves, while others link with higher-dimensional beings. Well-known examples include Esther Hicks (Abraham) and Barbanell (Silver Birch).

What Happens During a Mediumship Reading?

In a mediumship reading, the process typically starts with the medium doing a short grounding meditation. The medium sets the intention to connect with the spirits that the client needs to hear from most.

As spirits come forward, the medium blends with their energy to sense their personality, characteristics, and relationship to the client. The medium may receive information such as the cause of death, hobbies, physical distinctions, or shared memories as evidence.

Often, several spirits come through with messages like “I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” or even practical advice like acknowledging what is going on in your life right now or where to find a missing item. With a strong connection, clients may even feel their loved one's presence in the room, making it an emotional and healing experience.

How Mediumship Brings Comfort

The spirit world isn’t far away - it exists in the same space as us, just at a higher vibration. Much like how we can’t see microwaves but know they work, spirits are present even if we can’t perceive them directly. Remember, just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there.

Spirits often stay close to loved ones, sitting in familiar chairs, lying next to them in bed, or even playing with pets. Animals, with their heightened senses, are often the first to notice their presence.

Grieving is a deeply personal journey, but mediumship can provide comfort, helping people find peace and closure after a loss. Through connecting with the spirit world, we can experience a sense of healing and reassurance that love truly never dies.
