Mediums Communicate with the Spirit World
Being a medium is not as simple as it appears. Mediums fill in as ties between the material and soul universes, and keep separation in both with a specific end goal to hand-off messages to the individuals who wish to hear them. It’s a hard skill set, and great mediums are elusive. That is the reason we checked in with a couple of our trusted mediums to see what understanding and knowledge they needed to go on in regards to mediumship.
“For me, mediumship experiences are very moving and beautiful. I get a good sense of a person’s personality, and can see them crossed over on the other side in the heavens waiting for me to acknowledge them. An instant connection occurs after they’ve been recognized, and they step forward and begin speaking. They hear you through me, and I respond with what they say using their words. Often they have many messages regarding unfinished business or closure, how they are working to keep the connection open and if they have taken the role as your guide or as your angel.
“There are several ways one who has crossed over can communicate. Some communicate through words, songs, presence, and at times, certain symbols to let you know they are there for you. One caller felt she had lost her sense of purpose after her husband passed unexpectedly. She felt his presence for a little bit and then lost the connection. She called asking to connect, and he instantly stepped forward being his fiery, feisty self with words of inspiration and hope for her. He told her that he came to visit each night while she slept, and if she’d put his picture on the night stand he’d visit more often. His words were ‘I’ve always been here for you. Just ask me to come and tell me what you need. You know I would never leave you without what you need. So why don’t you ask me? You know I love you!’ A bit of tears and more words were exchanged between the two, and the wife realized her husband had crossed over, he was doing well and he was happy. She just needed to speak to him whenever she liked to keep the connection open. She shared she had been so lonely and needed him. Feeling lost no longer, she accepted his new role in her life.”
But what if one wants to truly develop mediumistic skills themselves, and enhance their psychic abilities to the point that they can communicate with spirits on their own? What should they do then?
“I have always believed we can connect with our higher selves, Source, our guides, angels and those on the other side. I have always believed the only difference between you and I is that I believe I can do this and you don’t believe you can. So let’s change that!
“First of all, we talk to our dear departed ones all the time. They do hear us. And, they communicate back to us. It’s hearing back from them and listening to the way they talk to us that really matters. When we understand and hear their messages we can be greatly calmed and happy knowing they are around us. Developing this listening skill is pretty easy. It is what mediums do and it takes two ingredients: belief and time.
“The most basic skill you can have is the simple belief that you are intuitive, psychic and can connect with those loved ones who have crossed over. If you struggle with believing this statement, good luck in developing your skills. It will not happen without it. Belief in yourself and in the fact that you too, have mediumship abilities, is the number one thing required in developing and using them. The second skill is repetition, and that means practice over time.”
Three suggested practice steps
The accounts and exercises on this page describe spiritual beliefs and personal experiences.
So, how do you begin developing your own skills as a medium? Follow this simple, three-step process:
-
Find the time.
It’s all about a few minutes a day, every day. Put aside 10 quiet minutes a day. Get a candle of any color. Many people prefer white. Light it. Sit in front of it. Relax. Close your eyes. Still your mind and ask to connect with God. Sit quietly and still for as long as you wish or can. It is the quiet and the stillness you want to experience.
- Develop your five senses.
Yes, the more heightened your physical senses become the better your psychic abilities become. Pay attention to taste, sight, hearing, touch and smell. Take 5 minutes each day and use each one in a quiet space. Really pay attention and notice things with each sense you never did. As you heighten your sensory awareness it heightens your extra sensory awareness too.
- Light your candle.
Go inside to your quiet space, and ask to have a loved one come forward. Relax. Let whatever comes through for you come through. It sounds silly, but it is as easy as relaxing and believing what you feel, hear or see. When you are finished write it down in a journal. It is important you document what you experience because you can refer to it later when it is confirmed as a real experience by you, others or your dreams. This provides confirmation that what you are experiencing is real.
Using these very simple, basic steps are how many of the mediums that work professionally began their work and training. You will not only be able to talk to your loved ones on the other side, you’ll hear what they have to say to you too and feel their comfort and their energy around you. They are never gone; they are just in a different form.
It’s interesting to note the variety of ways communication can occur from the spirit world, such as through symbols or presence. This broadens our understanding of what mediumship entails.
The distinction between communicating with the other side and relaying clear, meaningful messages is quite a sophisticated skill. This article highlights the nuances well.
The specific example of how a medium helped a woman reconnect with her deceased husband was poignant and illustrative of the potential impact mediumship can have.
It’s a testament to the emotional support that mediumship can provide, which is often underappreciated.
Indeed, it shows how mediums can facilitate closure and ongoing connections for those grieving.
The emphasis on belief and time in developing mediumistic abilities resonates deeply. These qualities are essential in mastering many personal skills.
The article’s discussion on the necessary belief in one’s own abilities and consistent practice aligns well with common principles in other fields of personal development.
