Are you a little unsure what to expect of a medium who is demonstrating on a platform? Well here are a few tips for you.
Mediums often like to give an air of mystery when they work. At least that is my experience of some platform speakers. They make statements which, to the uninitiated, sound like they are from another world. They talk of vibrations and etherics, auras and ectoplasm, paranormal and auras. To mention but a few. My spooky glossary will help you with some. Others, will be on my next list.
It also seems that what part of the world or indeed, what part of the country they are from, determines how mediums put their message across on the platform. It differs quite a lot.
In the north of England, platform mediums usually start their message by saying ‘Can I come to you please’, being quite direct. They may point at a person or refer to the person in the red/blue coat, or the person at the back with specs on. They may sometimes say that they think they are with that particular person, but may just be very close to the right person, but they are usually not far off.
In the south of England and in my experience, London, platform mediums usually throw out the message to the whole audience, to begin with. They will say they have a link with a certain spirit who is asking for his wife/daughter or that he gives a name. This person may have passed with heart trouble etc. There will be a few more items thrown out until they have narrowed the field down to one person. After which the rest of the message will be directed at them.
You will find at most churches and halls, there will be a certain few people who believe that every message thrown out is for themselves. They are so intent on getting a message that they will speak up regardless, whereas there are always those few who want it so much, but are afraid to speak up. It is such a shame the shy miss out.
When you go to such meetings, listen with intent at the items thrown out by the medium. If you feel sure that you can accept almost all the items, speak up. It is not always possible to place every item. The best piece of evidence is often the bit you have to go home and find out about later.
During the meetings, relax and send your love out to the Spirit World and enjoy the experience. Don’t dwell on one person whom you want to contact, you may shut out another. Enjoy the event and who knows where it may lead you.
If you wish to speak to the medium after the service or demonstration, you will usually find them very approachable. They like to answer questions and share their knowledge with you.
