Mediumship
What is a
medium? A medium is somebody who passes on a message
from someone who has passed (spirit) to a living
relative or friend. A medium can channel energies from
spirit on another plane. A plane is another level from
earth. It can be reach by raising our awareness. I
believe that we all have the capability to achieve
this. It is just understanding the difference between
your own thoughts and thoughts or images coming to you
from Spirit.
We were all born with this ability, it is just we have
forgotten how to use it. Children are known to have
imaginary friends, but many parents will tell them its
rubbish, that there is nothing there. So they tend to
lose the ability that they were born with. Believe
that there is existence of other levels. Then it will
be easier to tap into.
There are a few different ways in which a medium can
receive messages.
They are :
Mental Mediumship - This is where the Medium raises
his or her consciousness to a higher level so that
they can receive messages from Spirit. The medium will
then pass on what they have received. A medium may
receive messages from spirit in some of the following
ways
Clairvoyance - clear seeing
Clairaudience - clear hearing
Clairsentience - clear feeling
Clairalience - clear smelling
Claircognizance - clear Knowing
Clairgustance - clear Tasting
Clairvoyance as a term has its origins from the French
word claire, which means "clear", and voyance,
"seeing". It literally means 'clear seeing' in French.
It is all done in the mind.
A medium may also pick up messages from spirit via
Inspirational writing, and also by Trance Mediumship.
This is when spirit links with a medium, the spirit
communicator exerts various degrees of control, or
overshadows the consciousness of the medium to a
greater or lesser degree. This varies, depending upon
the intent and conditions of communication, as well as
the ability of the medium to lend himself or herself
to be overshadowed or controlled.
Physical Mediumship - Another way is Physical
Mediumship. A few ways that this is demonstrated is
via direct voice, transfiguration and Trance
Mediumship.
Physical mediumship should only be practised in
properly controlled environments with the correct
supervision and safeguards in place to ensure the
safety of the medium.
Physical mediumship usually takes more time and
patience to practice. The conditions have to be right
for spirit to appear in whatever form. The energy used
by spirit is a lot greater in this form of
communication than with mental mediumship. In most
cases a medium goes into deep trance (there are
different levels of trance) for the spirit to work
through them. The spirit will use the mediums body,
the medium is not possessed by the spirit and should
be in control at all times, the medium's spirit just
steps to one side while the spirit uses part of their
body to communicate. This can be through voice with
the spirit using the vocal chords of the medium to
"talk" to whoever is present, or to produce ectoplasm
(when the spirit operators withdraw the etheric
energy-matter from the medium's body, it is known as
ectoplasm. It is through the use and manipulation of
ectoplasm that the physical phenomena occur. Ectoplasm
can be created in many different forms -- both visible
and invisible; white and colored -- all depending upon
what the Spirit people wish to do with it.) from
various parts of the mediums body.
Materialisation can also occur where the spirit can be
seen, and sometimes touched, by those present. This
type of communication is very rare, as the spirit will
use the energy built up in the room by those present
to appear.
Here are some other types of physical Mediumship.
Transfiguration. Here the face of a spirit person can
be seen over the mediums face. The faces can be very
clear at times, with the mediums face completely
disappearing.
Direct Voice. An object called a trumpet is used for
this type of communication, they are conical shaped
objects with holes at both ends. The trumpet is placed
in the centre of the circle, when the atmosphere is
right for spirit they will make the trumpet float in
the air and use it for communication.
Trance. This form of mediumship allows the spirit to
control the mediums body for communication. This could
mean using not only the voice box but also moving
various parts of the body. There are various stages of
trance from slight over shadowing to full deep trance
where the medium seems to be asleep. Whilst in trance
the medium will be aware of spirit around them, and
will communicate all that is told to them without
interaction of their own thoughts. Deep trance is
obviously better for this as the medium is not aware
of what is being said by the spirit to those present.
Apports. An Apport is a physical object brought
through by spirit usually to the group of people
sitting for communication. The objects can be almost
anything from flowers, books, jewellery and even
coins. People do not usually sit for the purpose of
bringing apports through, they just happen during a
séance or closed circle if the spirit wishes to do so
for what ever reason.
There are a few other forms, these include Psychic
art, Spiritual Healing, Levitation, and Automatic
writing.
So how do I become a Medium ? Firstly the most
important thing is to believe and trust in what you
are doing. You must learn to raise your
consciousness/awareness. To live on the earth plane
you are normally using our conscious level. The
subconscious level or higher self, is what you need to
tap into to be able to tune into the higher frequency
needed to see, hear and sense spirit. Spirit work on a
much faster vibration than we do. This is why you
can't see them with your earthly senses. Some people
look at the higher self as a kind of radio receiver
rising from their crown Chakra and receiving incoming
images and messages. So to get to the faster vibration
we must try to match it.
We need to use our higher self to be able to reach the
levels which are at a higher vibration. So how do we
achieve this? Meditation. Learning to still your mind,
and free it from your everyday clutter and chatter, is
a must. Everything comes from a thought. Within your
mind you can go anywhere you want.
We all have the ability to communicate with Spirit, as
we are, Spirit ourselves in a material body.
Ask yourself this question ? Why do I want to be a
Medium ?
Your answer should be something along the lines of
wanting to help others. You will need dedication and
commitment. This path can be a long and bumpy road. It
wont be easy, and you may lose friendships along the
way, because as you move on spiritually and gain a
better and clearer understanding of what is around
you, others may stand still and hold you back.
I believe that the best place to start on this
journey, is to understand why you are making this
journey. In Spiritual Law, it says that like attracts
like, and if your motives for doing this are anything
other than pure and honest, then you may find yourself
attracting a different kind of spirit !
Before you can know and understand others, you need to
learn and know about yourself. Learn to contact your
own spirit through meditation. When you are more
content within yourself, you will find it easier to
become aware of the feelings and emotions of others
around you, here, and in the Spirit World
