What is Mediumship and How Does it Work?

Spirit communication is possible because when we pass on from this Earthly world, our physical body dies but our spiritual body, our personality, our soul and essence lives on where life continues for all of us in the Spirit world.

As we are still alive after we have shed our physical body, we possess the ability to communicate with those still on Earth and transmit messages to them, reassuring them that we have made it to the Other Side and that we are okay.

The process of dying is much worse for the friends, relatives and loved ones still on Earth than it is for those in Spirit because they have made it Home, to paradise where all is well and beauty is found absolutely everywhere.

How Does Mediumship Work?

Firstly, the person on the Other Side (the Spirit) desires to communicate with a loved one on the Earth, and the easiest way for them to do this is to appear to them through dreams. Dreams are the number one way you will hear from your loved ones in Spirit.

It is easy to tell if you have been visited by your loved ones while you slept because upon waking, you will remember that it was no ordinary dream you just had. Visitations from our loved ones in Spirit are incredibly vivid and memorable and realistic. In these instances we are not dreaming about them but are actually being visited by them while we are relaxed and asleep.

The number two way of receiving a message from a loved one in Spirit is through a medium. When this happens, there are at least three people present during the session. There is a Spirit communicator on the Other Side, who speaks to the medium, who passes their messages onto you.

The person in Spirit lowers their energy (a bit like kneeling down to speak with a small child) and the medium raises their energy (like the child looking up at the adult speaking to them). As they do this, the two energies merge and the medium begins to receive signs, symbols and messages from the communicator on the Other Side.

The medium tells the person receiving the reading what they are seeing, sensing and hearing, and as this happens the Spirit communication becomes stronger until all of the Spirit person's message has been communicated.

The third way of receiving messages from the Other Side is by being sensitive to what you find yourself looking at and listening to when you speak to your relatives in Spirit. This often gets some getting used to, but it is well worth the effort and with practise you will become more sensitive to Spirit presences around you.

For example, let's say you are thinking about your beloved grandmother who has already passed into the Spirit world, and you begin to remember the happy memories you shared. If you are sensitive enough, and your grandmother wishes to speak with you at that moment, she will gently guide you to notice certain things around you.

Your might suddenly become aware of her name in front of you in a newspaper, or perhaps even briefly smell her perfume. A song that she liked might be playing in the background on the radio at that very moment or you might find yourself copying one of her mannerisms.

It is important to honour these special moments when they occur because they are not imaginary projections by us but real communications from those in the Spirit world. These moments and messages are most impressive when you aren't trying to communicate with your loved ones, but are slightly in a daydreaming state of mind when your right brain is more active than your left brain. When this happens, you'll pick up more of their thoughts and messages to you.

How You Can Become More Sensitive to Spirit Communications

Firstly, when you are going to sleep, ask God to help you remember your dreams in the morning. This will ensure that you can recall any messages your loved ones in Spirit sent you during the night.

Secondly, ask your Spirit Guide to help you become more sensitive to detect spiritual presences when they come around you. Your Guide will hear your request and do everything possible to bring you closer to the Spirit world.

Thirdly, be patient. Only those who have developed mediumship abilities over a long time can immediately tell the difference between their own thoughts and Spirit communications.

Time will be your teacher here, so if you have asked all your spiritual helpers to open you up to be more sensitive to Spirit, please be patient and the results will come.

The more relaxed and patient you are, knowing that you will develop all your talents in God's time, the better your communications will be with your loved ones on the Other Side, and the clearer you will be able to hear what they are saying to you.

When you are sincerely calm and patient you will begin to experience wonderful results for yourself and become more accurate in communicating precise messages to your friends and family around you, so always meditate and become relaxed and passive before you start tuning into the Spirit world.
