A large part of helping the psychic power within evolve is getting to know one’s own mind. A medium needs to be aware of where their own thoughts and where the messages from other worlds begin. If they do not do this self-examination, it is possible to be confused by the impressions from the spirit world.
Mediums have to learn to let go and be still. This process takes a while to learn and to get used to. They have to consciously work on reducing the activity of their mind as they observe the universe from within themselves.
This requires several months of deep meditation and thought. It can make the medium mentally and emotionally exhausted.
After they finish a day of this practice they review their thoughts and try to organize the into a message. Through this examination they have to find when the messages began coming in. The messages usually appear when the medium stops trying and starts receiving.
They must maintain a large level of dedication and effort to the practice so they can experience the evolution of their powers. Self examination helps them remove any personal bias they may have. They must detach themselves from their own thoughts. This, in and of itself requires a lot of discipline.
Some mediums say that the feelings they have when they receive a message from the spirit world are indescribable. They say it is in their still silent moments that the message just appears.
There are some things that people ask about what goes on the medium’s mind:
- They get messages constantly. This is not true because a talented medium can detach and shut off.
- Mediums can see the future. A medium generally views the present to best advise their client. They can also look into the past as they consult the dearly departed.
- A medium is always calm and quiet. Mediums can detach and become quiet when necessary
- Mediums have a higher intellect than everyone else. Mediums are trained to be open to spirits. They do not necessarily have a higher level of intelligence.
- Mediums have to be vigilant so they do not become possessed.
While mediums keep their minds open to receive messages, there is not a cadre of evil spirits lining up to talk to one.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of the practices and challenges faced by mediums. The necessity of self-examination to distinguish one’s own thoughts from messages seems particularly crucial.
I found the misconceptions about mediums quite enlightening, especially the clarification that mediums do not constantly receive messages and are not necessarily of higher intellect.
The emphasis on dedication and effort for mediums to refine their abilities is notable. It underscores the importance of continuous self-improvement and discipline.
The discussion about mediums’ need for deep meditation and mental discipline is intriguing. It raises questions about the psychological impact of such practices over long periods.
The process of mediums detaching themselves from their own thoughts to receive messages is fascinating. It seems like a complex skill that requires a lot of practice.
Indeed, the ability to differentiate personal thoughts from external messages must be incredibly challenging and mentally demanding.
