Mediumship and Beyond

You have been learning how to open up your psychic centres, in order to allow your psychic energies to get to work for you.

You have also been learning how to meditate and go on journeys to learn to work with spirit.  You may well have met you guide or helpers and other spirit loved ones on these journeys. For some, this is yet to happen. Don’t be deterred. Keep on with the practice. Slowly is better than too quickly.

I have been giving you knowledge to help you understand the words mediums and psychics use. There are a lot of terms you should get used to. This will help if you go to spiritualist churches or other psychic events.

In the coming week I will be posting exercises for you. These will help you to get starting with message giving.  It will be useful if you can get a friend to sit with you whilst you open up and try out the exercises. Then you will have someone to practice on.

As usual I ask for your feedback and if you have any problems please email me at the link on this page.

This is aimed at all of you who are following my Psychic Development Course on this blog.

I would like your feedback.  I would also like to know how many of you need extra help. I know I am psychic,  but do not have the powers to know exactly how all of you are progressing. I need your input.

Will you be kind enough to email me at the link on this page. Let me know how you are getting on with my course and if you need further help at this stage.  Before I move you further on this week.

I would also like to know if it is going at the right pace for you. I want you to take it slowly. The results are more lasting if you take your time. Anything worth while is worth taking your time over.

I look forward to getting your emails and I will personally review them and reply to all of you.

Have you heard of flower readings?   Have you heard of Feather readings?  Maybe not. Not every medium uses these techniques. Here is a brief explanation for you.

Feathers are interesting items to give readings from. The sitter can pick their own feathers by collecting ones they find, or by buying a set for themselves from a craft or toy store.

Alternatively, the reader can have a set, coloured ones are nice, and can give them to the sitter to hold, thus leaving their imprint on them.

It is personal choice for the reader. You will be led by them.  The same goes fro flowers.

Flowers: are  a great source of pleasure for people and reading them seems quite a natural event.

Again, vibrations can be instilled into the flowers by the person who picked them from the ground. The alternative way to read a flower is to study it and see what you can glean from its shape, size, buds and leaves.

Again, be led by the reader. It is also fun to learn how to read them yourself if you are developing.

More on this in the posts on Psychic Development ………

You can learn how to develop your psychic ability without having to learn awareness of the spirit, if you prefer it that way. That is to say, you can become a psychic reader rather than a medium.

Lots of people are happy to do this as it involves less time and dedication than developing mediumship. Some novices do not feel they are ready for the awareness meditations. You may still decide at a later date that you want to carry on with your development and aim for mediumship.

Learning to open up your psychic centres is a requirement but you do not have to learn awareness through meditation for psychic purposes alone.

There are a lot of psychics who give private readings but their information is usually about the things are happening now as they don’t get it from spirit. They get it from yourself, your aura, and the vibrations around you. If you want to know what you already do know, then that is good for you.

Others may want to communicate with their loved ones in the spirit world. That’s when you need a medium. It is a mediums job to prove life after death. That is the whole point of it, to prove life is everlasting.  If a person cannot do that then they should not be on a church platform. It is only for mediums and not for psychics.

Sometimes it is hard to get your head around this if you are new to this subject.  All I can say is keep an open mind and learn as much as you can along your journey.  Prove all things is a good mediums motto!

Next Sunday, 12th February 2012

I am taking the Divine Sunday service

at Parkgate Spiritualist Centre in Rotherham

South Yorkshire.

The service begins at 6.30pm as usual.

Hope to meet some of you there if you can make it.

Enjoy!

I don’t know why, but some people think that a flower reader is a fortune teller. In my experience this is not so. And, really no one can tell your fortune as such.  What is meant by fortune is really future.

No one can tell you the future. I am always saying this.  We are not meant to know it. If we knew our future it would change the way we live our life.  So it would be useless to us in the grand scheme of things.

We might think it would be good to know our future. But that would take a lot of the fun out of it too.  Would you really want to know your future warts and all?  Because you cannot have it all one way.  Would you really want to know you were going to be in an accident, or that you were going to get robbed. Would you really want to know if you were going to suffer?

I do not think so.  You have to take the rough with the smooth. We cannot have it all our own way. That is just not how life is.

As for flower reading, I like to practice it. I use it sometimes when giving mediumship. It adds another dimension to the reading. But not fortune telling.

Basically, fortune telling was what the gypsies used to do. Most psychics can tell you about today but not your fortune as such. Mediums can get a link with your spirit loved ones and they CAN tell you when things are going to pan out for you. They can also advice you when you need to make changes.

Trust your spirit loved ones and the medium who acts as go between. They will serve you well. Psychics and fortune tellers – not so good!

It often surprises me what people expect when they go to see a medium.  Of course, if they have never been to one before it is very understandable.

The word ‘clairvoyant’  puzzles people most. So I want to discuss this today and other terms.

The word clairvoyance means clear seeing. Clairaudience, clear hearing and clairsentience clear sensing.  And no, this is not a good definition either.

Mediums see, hear and feel using different senses to the average human being.  It is not really clear seeing, but more a ‘different seeing’. We mediums get our stuff from the etheric, not the physical. Mediums connect with the spirit world and the spirits give the medium all the information for them to impart to the sitter.

Psychics work in yet a different way. They get all their ‘stuff’ from the sitter’s aura or from items that belong to the sitter.  They do not connect with spirits as they do not have the gift.

The word clairvoyant seems to conjure up fortune telling or future predicting to people.  And therefore, some of the sitters who go to clairvoyants expect to have their future told. NO ONE CAN TELL YOU THE FUTURE! Your future isn’t made yet. You make your future yourself in the way you live your life. Every little thing you do can change your path, so no one knows where it is all going until it does!

Mediums bring your loved ones,  along with their memories of the past. They talk about what is happening in your life right now and about things they feel you should take care of. They like to prove they are really watching over you. They do this by talking about what they have seen and heard around you.

Where the difficulty arises, is when a person goes to a clairvoyant medium. They still expect this to be a fortune teller.  But it only means that this particular medium uses their third eye and ‘sees’ all the information. Whereas a clairaudient medium ‘hears’ the information. A clairsentient medium feels and senses spirits and their feelings and emotions.

Maybe it is better to say you are a spiritual medium, that may prevent the confusion. Or maybe it will always be confusing to those who do not have the gift.

Once you have mastered opening and closing, you should start practicing meditation.

Meditation is the only way to meet and get to know your guide. It is also a good place to start connecting with the Spirit World.

I have my own CD which leads you into a meditation and brings you safely back. This can be used after you have opened up and before you close down. We have had good results with this. If you are interested in buying one please email me.

If you prefer to use your own CD or music, that’s ok too. Whatever you are happy with.

Before you begin you should say a short prayer, asking spirit to be with you and to protect you.

When you have opened up you can go straight into meditation. I always suggest a particular journey (that is where specific cd’s are helpful). It can be a different journey each time if you want.

Before setting off on your particular journey, ask that your spirit guide may join you and inspire you along the way. Everyone has a different experience and every time you meditate it will have different results.

After the meditation is over, you should impart any message that has been given to you. If you are alone, then you should write it down for future reference.

Close down your centres when you are finished with the session.  Say a closing prayer, thanking spirit for being with you.

Now you have some knowledge of the terms. This will help you when you go to circles or services.

It is surprising how little knowledge some have. Even members of church committees, some not all, lack basic knowledge of the subject.  Believe me, ignorance is not bliss when you are developing.  Keep asking questions and seeking answers.

You are now familiar with the opening and closing down procedure.  Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you don’t need to use it.  Now you need to practice.

Go to a quiet room. Take some music and turn off the phone.  Sit quietly and open up.  Ask yourself how you feel. Enjoy the moment.

After a short time, close down. Sit with your eyes closed and adjust to being in the now. Grounded.

Spend a few minutes each day practicing.  My next development post will take you to the next step.  Enjoy.

I took the service at Attercliffe Spiritulaist church in Sheffield yesterday evening.  It was An Evening of Clairvoyance.

There was quite a crowd in, which is always nice.  They were very receptive to my mediumship.

I enjoyed the event and enjoyed talking to some of the congregation later.

I am there again in September for a Special Evening of Colour.  I will post a reminder nearer the time.
