Mediumship and Beyond

You have, maybe, never thought about being psychic.  You have shown little than a passing interest in the occult or the psychics world.  Maybe you don’t believe in the paranormal or mediums and such.  And have never been interested in Spiritualism.

Recently you have noticed that you seem to be more aware of things.  Your instinct seems to be working better and your judgement is more instinctual than logical. You have always used logic before and think maybe you are getting a little too soft and not taking things as seriously as usual.

You seem to keep hearing your name being called but there is never anyone there.  You could swear you saw someone  yonder but there is no one there.

These are some of the things that my sitters often tell me after their reading.  They are wanting to know what it all means.  They are wondering,  ‘just slightly’, if they may actually be becoming psychic.

As I have often said, we all have the ability to be psychic. Some of us though never have the inclination. 

When all the above begins to happen,  it is because you are now becoming aware of you sixth sense.  It is coming to the fore so that you can start to use it. You can ignore it all if you wish but these things happen for a reason.

It is your time to develop your psychic ability.  All you need is the know how.  You will find plenty of information on this blog to help you develop and to find a teacher.

Please email me at the link above if you need help with any of it.

Why is it that some people are terrified of seeing a spirit or a ghost.  Is it because they know nothing about the subject and therefore think they can be harmed, or worse?

I am often told by a terrified sitter,  that  a ghost is following them around.  More puzzling is that they complain that their dead granny is appearing in their presence!  Why are they afraid of a dead loved one?

I think sometimes ignorance is bliss, but in this case it is detrimental. Dead loved ones are not going to come back to scare or harm you.  Why would they.  More importantly, they cannot harm you, they have no body and no physical presence.

What you have to remember is that when a persson dies and passes over to the higher side of life, they have to leave their physical body behind.  The spirit moves to the spirit world, for that is where spirits live.  The body is now dead and must be cremated or buried.

So you see, there is  nothing physical with which to attack or harm you.  Even if they wanted to.  In the spirit world we have to atone for all wrong doings.  We cannot do that by coming back to the earth plane and doing bad things.

If a spirit shows them self to me, I feel honoured.  I am more than delighted to see them, communicate with them, and be the medium between them and their loved ones here on the earth plane.  What a joy!  Besides, loved ones come back to help guide and comfort us in our troubled times.

So, if you start seeing spirits, don’t be afraid.  Get help to understand it and deal with it.  You might find that you enjoy it too.

You cannot beat natural talent, be it singing, art, dancing or mediumship.  Children have natural psychic ability and a natural flare for saying it as it is.

We all have this inate ability but when we arrive at birth onto this earth plane some of us forget how to use the gift.  Children, because they have been here the shortest length of time, are the least likely to have forgotten.

Children tend to  use the gift by instinct, until such a time as society knocks it out of them.  This is usually as they get a little older, when those around them do not appear to use the same skills.  Peer pressure is not a good thing for little psychic souls.

Once the child begins to realise that not everyone uses the same senses as them, they become afraid that they may be considered odd and strange.  They are afraid they will be laughed at and marginalised.

The child decides to keep their ability to them self and stop using the psychic gifts that have been bestowed on them.  It is really a shame, as such a gift nurtured can become a great source of  proof from the spirit world.  Proof that would help mankind believe in life after death.

If you have a child who still uses his or her psychic ability,  please nurture that gift and help them understand how special they are to use it.  When they are older you can seek help for them to develop as they wish.

There are lots of good healing therapies around which can make you feel better if you are under the weather.  Not to replace the good old GP or medics, but to add to your health and well being.

The sort of things I am thinking of are Reiki, massage, Indian head massage, Reflexology, crystal healing and many others.

These are called alternative therapies, but I think they are additional therapies.  Therapies which soothe the body and mind without interfering with traditional treatments given by your doctor.

Anything which helps soothe and relax you will obviously help the healing process of your mind and body.  If the mind is calm and relaxed then the body heals quicker.

If you wish to partake of any of these therapies there are endless websites where you can find out more about them.  You can also ask friends and colleagues if they have tried any and what did they think of them.

Spiritual Healing is another, very important, therapy.  Given that you get in touch with a really good, compassionate healer, you can be soothed and relaxed whilst sitting on a chair.  Your local spiritualist church healing group can help but also the SNU website is full of healing advice.

When you find a good therapist or healer, tell your your friends and please email me so that I can share your experiences with many others.

We all have the ability to develop our sixth sense and use our psychic ability. It takes time and effort, but is very rewarding when you have mastered a technique that suits you.  You can make the choice.  You may not be a medium, but you are psychic.

Most of us are just aware of the five physical senses and are surprised to find there are others. Especially psychic senses.  They think it is too paranormal.  Too extraordinary!  When it really is a natural gift which seems to have become stifled in most of us as we have ‘evolved’.  Learning to awaken this sense is a natural thing to do.  Yes you have to work for it but it is worth it.

Nowadays there are Spiritualist churches all over the world.  There are lots of opportunities to learn how to become psychically aware, and indeed, to practise your new found gift when you are ready. 

There are psychic workshops which are very useful because it is more intense training than a weekly event.  You can learn a lot from them, psychic awareness being the most important. Plus you will meet others who are developing too and you can share experiences with them.

You do not have to go to church or take on a new religion. You can go to development groups and classes almost anywhere now. There are also books which can help you.   Though try to use ones which have been recommended.

If you want to try a course of awareness at home, then stay tuned to this site, as I will be posting some  useful information for you in the near future.

If you are not yet ready to try it for yourself, then you might like to try a psychic event at a hall or church nearby. There are always plenty on offer, although some are quite pricey. Church ones are the generally the least expensive. There is usually a good calibre of mediumship, although sometimes not so good.

You can also host your very own psychic evening.  If you would like to know more about this then please email me at the link above.

At times of loss of a loved one, it is a good feeling to know that a developed sixth sense can help you feel close to them still.  Even though their physical body is no longer here, there is still the spirit to communicate with.

You may not be able to see them or hear them, although some can,  but you can learn to feel their presence.  A fragrance, or the sense of them around you at times of sorrow, is very comforting.

If you develop your latent psychic gifts,  you can help others, as well as yourself, to overcome the grief that loss of a loved one brings.  A little time spent on a regular basis will help you to use your sixth sense to such an extent that you may surprise yourself, as well as the others who you choose to help or practise your gifts on.

I have devised my own course,  dedicated to developing psychic gifts.  It is born from years of developing my own mediumistic gifts and using them to help others overcome their own grief.  It uses a combination of exercises and meditations.

A medium is a go-between.  A link between this world and the spirits in the afterlife. We cannot summon them up, but they can sometimes come close to us and pass on messages of comfort both directly and with the help of a medium.  Once you know how to tune in you may become aware of them yourself.  Some will always need the help of a medium.

Of course we are not all mediums.  We all have psychic abilities though. We are not all aware of them but they are there. We can learn to use our gifts to a good outcome.  There may well be more gifts that God has given us. Maybe over the coming years we will find out more.

If you want to know more, please contact me, either through my web site or through this blog. If you are interested in one of my development packs please email me for further details and to put your name on the waiting list. barbara@barbarabiggin.com

It is not difficult to find a way to develop your sixth sense, if you so desire.  There are numerous ways you can go about it.  You may decide to go it alone and use a written course and CDs to help you, or you could join a group and sit with others of the same interest, in what is known as a development circle.

You don’t  have to become a Spiritualist to develop your psychic gifts. Religious people and Spiritualists are not the only ones granted these extra senses.  We all have them.  It’s deciding if you want to develop them that matters.

The sixth sense is a natural phenomena, not paranormal at all in my opinion.  Although it is seen as such.  I believe it is latent in us all.  A purely natural phenomena.  Some of us just don’t know we have yet.

At home, by yourself or with a small group of like minded people, is a good place to begin.  My latest set of  workbook and CDs will be ready in the near future.  If you would like to find out more about it, email me through my web site or add a comment on this page and I will get back to you, giving you details.

Meditation is a good place to begin your development.  Learning to relax helps both the physical body and also to quieten the mind. You need a quiet mind in order to communicate with the ‘dead’.   My own method uses meditation.  It is used to help you tune in to spirit and to understand spirit.

Learning about the chakras will help you develop.  Chakras are the psychic centres which open up when you are using your sixth sense   and working with the spirit world. Each chakra corresponds to a particular colour and each colour has it’s own meaning. These colours are used when giving colour and ribbon readings.

Why not give it a try. I know there are many of you who really want to get started on your spiritual journey.  I wish you a happy journey.

My belief is that the best mediums are not on TV at all. 

You don’t have to be on TV to prove you are a good medium either.  Those on TV have their shows edited in such a way that you cannot decide for yourself  if it is good or poor.  We don’t know if all the yes responses are left in and the no responses edited out.

The problem with TV is that the programmes are filmed and then cut down to fit a schedule.  Who knows what element is left on the cutting room floor.  It may depend upon the belief of the producer or editor.

Historically, mediums and spiritualists have had a raw deal when it comes to the media.  Maybe it is because there are so many fakes around that the producers feel they have to be  biased against us.  Trust is not there at all.  Therefore the medium can appear to come across as insincere.

Often, in  the past, spiritualists have been filmed and ridiculed.  This has been easy to do as mediumship is always experimental.  There are no guarantees that spirit will come through at a given time. Not even in a private sitting.  With the media it has to be done to a timetable, so mediums are up against it from the start.

Even at mediumship demonstrations in theatres, it is far from easy for both spirit and medium.  It cannot be done to order and sometimes when the medium stands up, there is nothing there.  If the medium has the courage they may stand and talk until spirit come through. This is not easy if the speaker is at all nervous. Most mediums are not naturally comedic, so telling jokes is not on either.

Last week there was a  ’ TV famous’  medium on the stage at the Sheffield City Hall.  She asked the audience to fill in cards on their way in so that she would have something to work from.  How unethical is that!  Mediums should tune in to spirit and not to details filled in on cards.

That was the start of a very big disappointment for those who were hoping for outstanding proof.  It was the second time in a few months that she had let the audience down. Last time, I am told, lots of people walked out and demanded their money back.  On the TV she apparently comes across as not bad. 

Maybe its down to what the audience want. Do they want entertainment or do they want life after death evidence?  It would seem to me that once commercialism takes over a spiritual event, all kudos goes out the window.

At the moment my time is partly taken up with ghostly events.  Not the sort of haunted evening type though.  More subtle, homely affairs.

My friend and I, we are both mediums, were invited to a home where there has been a lot of ghostly activity.  It was not the sort of thing where a headless woman walks through walls or anything gruesome.

We were told only scant information and decided our best course of action was to hold a seance (circle) and see what or who came through.  We are very practical about such things and not over dramatic as some are.  We believe in subtlety when working with earth bound spirits.  Not so much Ghost Whisperer as Ghost lipreader!!

We sat together in meditation and asked our guides to help us find out who was there.  We each had our own experiences.  We each gave our full descriptions of what we saw and heard, to the home owners.

These descriptions matched a lot of what the family had experienced and the names which came through were evidential too.  It did appear that those who were inhabiting the house were not related to the family.  Though they did not mean any harm and no bad vibes were felt at all.

The interesting thing was when I sat with my eyes closed, I felt a child blowing down on my face.  The home owner said that was exactly the place he sits when he gets the same sensation on his face too.  We both felt this was very childlike.

My friend saw a dog on the staircase.  She described it and again it was the same as had been seen by the owners.  Although the ghosts/spirits were not all connected, they were seemingly happy together and not intruding on the family life.

We are going to go back soon to try and find out more and see if there is anything they need our help with.  The family don’t feel threatened in any way.  We are sure that these are spirit communicators, and not naughty ghosts.

This is just one example and I will relate others from time to time.  If you need help or advice on this subject please email me anytime.
