Power of Mediumship

The power of Mediumship is a draw for many.  Facilitating Mediumship Development Circles not only involves guiding students but also delving into the profound questions that inevitably arise. As a facilitator, I find myself anticipating and exploring these questions with each circle. I want to share the most common inquiries, and providing insightful answers to deepen your understanding of mediumship.

Is mediumship a natural gift, or can it be learned?

While some individuals may possess a natural affinity for mediumship, we are all born with the ability.  It is indeed a skill that can be cultivated through training, practice, and unwavering dedication.

How can I open myself up to connect with spirits?

Unlocking the door to spirit communication involves practices such as meditation, grounding, and fostering a receptive state. Regular exercises to develop intuitive senses can significantly enhance this connection.

What if I’m afraid of connecting with negative entities or spirits?

Setting clear intentions and protective measures before any session is crucial. Trust your intuition, and if discomfort arises, remember you are always in control. Establishing strong boundaries with Spirit builds a sense of security.

How do I distinguish between my imagination and a genuine spirit message?

Practice and experience are paramount. Genuine spirit messages often come with a distinct energy or feeling. Since Spirit uses the same side of the brain that imagination uses, it can be confusing.  Validation from others or specific, accurate information unattainable through normal means can indicate a genuine connection.

Is it possible to communicate with a specific loved one who has passed away?

Yes, it’s possible. Focusing on the energy and memories associated with the person can enhance the connection. However, it’s essential to understand that spirits may communicate in their own way and timing, and it’s not always guaranteed.

What exactly is a medium?

A medium is someone who can communicate with spirits or entities from the spirit world. They act as intermediaries, conveying messages between the living and the deceased.

What training or courses are available for aspiring mediums?

There are various courses and workshops offered by experienced mediumship instructors, including myself. These may cover topics like energy awareness, psychic development, and specific techniques for connecting with spirits.  The more you learn, the more Spirit has to draw from.  Some mediums leverage numerology, astrology, tarot or one of the many divination tools that exist in their practices.

How long does it take to develop mediumship abilities?

The time it takes to develop mediumship abilities varies for each individual. Some have to unlearn fear-based teachings and trust themselves.  Consistent practice and ongoing learning are key factors. It’s a journey of personal and spiritual growth.

Do I need to have psychic abilities to be a medium?

Psychic abilities can complement mediumship, but they are not a prerequisite. Mediumship focuses on communication with spirits, while psychic abilities involve perceiving information beyond the ordinary senses.

How can I overcome doubts and fears about connecting with spirits?

Overcoming doubts and fears involves building confidence through practice, understanding your own belief system, and establishing a supportive and ethical approach to mediumship.

Can I choose the spirits I connect with, or is it random?

While you can set intentions and invite specific energies, it’s not always guaranteed that a particular spirit will come through. Mediumship often involves being open to the spirits that are most appropriate for the sitter or the situation.

Is it possible to make a career out of being a medium?

Many mediums offer their services professionally. However, it’s important to approach mediumship with a genuine desire to help others and maintain a balance between spiritual service and practical considerations.

How do I handle skeptics or criticism about my mediumship abilities?

Developing resilience is important. Understand that not everyone will share the same beliefs and focus on your own experiences and the positive impact you can have on those who seek your guidance.

These questions and answers serve as a solid foundation for those embarking on the journey of mediumship. Remember, the path to developing these abilities is a personal and spiritual growth journey that requires consistent practice and ongoing learning. Spoiler alert – the learning never stops!

If you’re intrigued and wish to delve deeper, consider attending a Mediumship Development Circle. However, understand that attendance alone won’t yield results; investing time in getting to know your guides, honing your gifts, and dedicated practice are essential. Happy exploring!
