How to be more present in life. Wherever we are in the world, it is almost certain that someone has been there before. They may have even found a moment of magic, a frequency left at a certain point and time on earth waiting to be rediscovered.
These moments are everywhere, once we begin to see them more and more find their way into our awareness. We then have an opportunity to walk through this life discovering magic and seeing beauty around every corner.
How to be more present in life
Not feeling the magic? Life is busy and we are constantly trying to catch up with our mind as it races forward into a future that never arrives. It separates us from the rest of our body, our spirit and our emotional self, when this happens it’s easy to feel numb, not ourselves or aligned with who we really are. This means that rather than walking into moments of magic we race forward missing them all together.
Bringing ourselves back in alignment
Why do we miss these moments? The simple answer is that we are not ourselves, meaning we are not in our bodies or even present. Taking a look at the different areas that makes us present, a simple way to understand this is to break it down into four main areas, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. What can happen is that physically we are fatigued, constantly playing catch up with ourselves. Emotionally we are drawn to people who we think need our support, our love and energy given in the wrong way can be incredibly draining on our systems.
Mentally we are thinking of tomorrow and all the pressures of our lives, our to do list, the media we consume, our family commitment, friends or our two-week holiday at the end of the year. Also, the past, everything we did wrong, things that didn’t work out. Our mind has many tools to keep us from the present. Spiritually we are saturated, overly experiencing everything with no filter or boundary. Feeling connections with mother earth, people’s energy or psychic connection, the unseen world and spiritual energies. Our own spirit doesn’t know where to find us, we are not present.
The work is around bringing ourselves back into alignment with the present. Physically, feel your body and listen to the feedback it is giving you. You don’t tell your body what to do, you listen to what your body is experiencing and telling you. Emotionally, bring your emotional energy back to you, focus on primarily caring for you resonating in your own love.
Mentally, there is only ever the present, the past is only a memory and tomorrow will never arrive, be here now. By bringing these parts of us back into the present we can connect with our spirit or spiritual energy, the spark of light within us. This gives us an opportunity to become more aware of our surroundings, mother earth, the energetic world and unseen realms. The more present we are the more we start to walk in a different frequency and time becoming aware of the magical moments around us.
Becoming aware of these special frequencies and moments
It is only a simple thought away, bringing ourselves into alignment within the present allows us to open to the frequencies around us. We can be more decerning about what’s happening and have more information to process from our mind, emotional state and body feedback. Mother earth, the energy of our ancestors, humanity, society and animal kingdom.
All these frequencies within time are available in our present, we can step into the energy and power of these energies at any time. It is always up to us. When we are working within the present moment, we become more of our truth, that deep knowing within us, it’s a space where another part of us activates and life finds a different rhythm. We find time to step into each moment and realise the magic that is there waiting to be discovered.
Locations on Mother Earth
All of these energies are vibrating at slightly different frequencies. Imagine civilisations of the past, our ancestors stopped in certain spaces, felt the resonance of the earth and found special places on the surface of the planet which offered a harmony or space where it’s possible to access greater wisdom or healing. These magical points are openly available for each one of us to stop and share a moment of presence and appreciation.
Ancient sites of lost civilisations were chosen for a reason, there are places around the world which have a strong and powerful energy. A source of power which can be used by people to purify and resonate deeper love. Channelling deeper wisdom from higher beings and other densities. When we act and move in the frequency of the present, we begin to feel drawn to these places and spaces, tapping into that energy and feeling. Resonating purity within our bodies and out into the world.
Aligning with the people around us
Our bodies offer fixed coordinates on this planet within this reality, matter within space and time. We can move around the planet gravitating to various locations where are drawn to, becoming a conductor for a specific energy and frequency. Our energetic signature is personal to us.
Our connection to people on a psychic level is unique, people on a similar or compatible frequency will gather together, naturally moving to locations where they can interact and become conduits for transforming energy. This energy is communicated on a psychic level passing to other people on our frequency throughout our network. This energy can also manifest through our creativity in this world either through the spoken or written word, musical interpretation and artwork all with the underpinning vibration of healing energy.
Defining moments in time and space for future magic
How to be more present in life and discovering our past and reflecting on our future. The history of our planet is something of a mystery, many civilisations forgotten or removed from the history books. Many of these had deeper wisdom and far greater technology, different sources of energy and ways of tapping into refined frequencies for greater knowledge. The magic of our existence is that now within this time we have an opportunity to radiate our inner light, it’s incredible to think we have been born into a world where we can live the life we want and become aware of the wonderment that has resonated on this planet.
There are pockets of energy, resonating points of refined frequency which are there to be explored, enjoyed, experienced and above all shared. When we find ourselves present within our own alignment, we become aware of moments we can step into and reactivate something from another civilisation or a point in space where someone experienced a magical moment in another time.
Everything has already been said, every moment experienced in another past whether it be in a different reality or just a dream of one of our ancestors, it is our role and responsibility to find these spaces and reactivate the grid of magical moments and points of pure love on this planet. When we activate these points, we bring a little more magic into this world.
We need more love at this time on our planet. Finding sweetness in the morning air or watching the sun stream through autumn leaves. Taking your loved one by the hand and walking together down a grand staircase in an old country home connecting with the energy in the fabric of the walls. Walking on the earth feeling wet grass beneath your feet or wandering along a white sand beach as turquoise waters lap around your ankles. Take your time, be present, step into the moments of magic and love around every corner. Take every opportunity, resonate pure love throughout your being and out into the world for others to find.
Mediumship is communication between an incarnate and discarnate soul or a living person and dead person through a medium. A medium is someone who has developed the ability to attune to the frequencies beyond our five senses to become aware of the energy of an individual soul which no longer has a body. Spiritualists believe the “spirit world” is the place a soul goes after their life on earth.
When discussing what is mediumship we must also touch on psychic ability. Belief in psychic ability is nothing new and widely accepted. It is when a person is picking up information from another living person or incarnate souls energy field.
Researchers have been exploring consciousness, mediumship, psychic ability and communication with the afterlife for many years and continue work with mediums and large spiritualist organisations.

Mediumship is a natural gift, it is an awareness of energy that all of us can become aware of, and for most people, this awareness simply sits quietly in the background of life until something happens or someone invites us to look more deeply into our intuition and sensitivity.
At its heart, mediumship exists to demonstrate that life continues beyond the physical body and our five senses. It offers comfort, evidence and healing, for many people it is the beginning of a deeper personal and spiritual journey.
What does mediumship mean?
What is mediumship in terms of meaning? The word “medium” comes from the Latin medius, meaning “in the middle”. A medium stands in the middle, between two states of being, the physical world we live in and the continuing spirit of those who have passed to the next life.
Mediumship gained popularity during the nineteenth century with the birth of modern Spiritualism marked as 31st March 1848 with the Fox sisters in Hydesville, New York. This provoked the question, what is mediumship and how can it serve us? Investigations into mediumship over the decades have exposed many fraudulent mediums although there have been many cases that couldn’t be disproved. The practice of mediumship is still very much plagued with these negative accounts today.
Within the religion of Spiritualism, mediumship is delivered as part of each Divine service, which is traditionally held on Sunday in spiritualist churches around the United Kingdom. On weekdays demonstrations of mediumship and special services take place where other variations on mediumship and communications are delivered like Spirit Art and Flower Readings. Open circles and open platforms are also held within the churches offering an opportunity for attendees to practice and develop their mediumship and other disciplines like Psychic readings and Psychometry.
When people search for – what is mediumship? they are usually looking for a definition, or want to understand the differences between a medium and other forms of spiritual or psychic practice. Ultimately, people are looking for reassurance that their loved ones are still with them in some form and there is a part of life which is eternal.
How does mediumship work?
As human beings we have a natural sensitivity to energy and the world around us. Every life, thought, feeling, object and interaction is a form of energy and carries its own frequency. A medium has spent time learning to become more aware of the subtle difference in frequencies at a deeper level of the unseen world.
The process begins very simply with awareness. A medium develops the ability to differentiate between their own energy and the energy which resonates from someone else or from somewhere else. I have written more fully about these processes, meditation, sitting in the power and attunement which become part of a mediums development. There is no substitute in the actual practice, many choose development circles and working with experienced teachers who they resonate with. They learn to raise their own vibration and attune into different vibrations of energy which are ever present within our reality.
When a medium is working, they raise their energy to attune to the spirit world, they become aware of a specific spirit communicator and allow information about their life and personality to come forward. The information generally arrives through perception, or the clair-senses like clairvoyance, an image in the mind or clairsentience, a feeling in the body. Some mediums hear or see objectively but for most its subjective. It is the responsibility of the medium to translate what they are receiving into accurate and meaningful information for their recipient. This is referred to as evidential mediumship, providing evidence of a a person and their life lived on earth.
What are the different types of mediumship?
When going deeper into what is mediumship we can discuss the different types of mediumship. Mediumship can take many forms, and each medium develops their own unique way of working that suits their own nature and natural ability. There are two distinctive categories, mental mediumship and physical mediumship.
Mental mediumship is the most common form of mediumship practiced today. The medium receives impressions internally through perception, these include, clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (feeling) or claircognisance (knowing), and relays that information to the sitter.
Physical mediumship is where spirit energy affects the physical environment objectively for all present to experience, producing phenomena such as direct voice, materialisation or trance communication. Physical mediumship requires a very particular set of conditions and takes many years of development.
There are also specialist forms of mediumship that focus on specific ways of working. Spirit art, which is aligns with my natural sensitivity and love for art, involves drawing a portrait of someone in spirit as part of the evidential mediumship communication. I hold regular monthly online demonstrations of spirit art.
What is mediumship and what is psychic communication? This is one of the most common questions people ask, and the distinction really matters.
A psychic works with the energy of a person, place or object that is still in this world. They may pick up information about the past, the present or possibilities for the future, but the information is drawn from the physical self, energy and connection with Mother Earth.
A medium works with the energy of those who have passed and no longer have a physical presence in this world. The source of the information is the continuing energy or soul of someone who has passed away.
Every medium is psychic, because to do the work you have to be sensitive to energy. But not every psychic is a medium. Mediumship requires a particular willingness to step into a deeper space of attunement where communication with the spirit world becomes possible.
What is happening when Mediumship is taking place?
So, what is really happening when a medium is delivering Mediumship?
During a demonstration the medium is working to raise the energetic vibration of the room and bring the energy of the congregation together to allow access to frequencies with in the spiritual realms. The medium’s role is to hold space and allow the energy of souls to come into their awareness. From the perspective of Spiritualism this would be the energy of a passed loved one relating to a member of the congregation.
With evidential mediumship the medium brings forward information about an individual or spirit communicator relating to a member of the congregation or recipient. The medium provides information which could only be known by the recipient and is considered proof of life after death. The thinking behind this is how could a person know information about a deceased loved one they have never met and describe specific situations of their life only known by the recipient and their family and friends.
Can mediumship be used for healing?
Simply put, yes, and for many people this is where mediumship has its most lasting impact.
What is mediumship and what is healing mediumship? Many healers will say they are not mediums but what they mean is they are not evidential mediums. Holding space for the natural flow of energy is what mediumship is. Healing through mediumship happens on more than one level.
There is an opportunity within a Divine Service to build the group energy to bring forward information verbally from the spirit world while hold space for the flow of energy for healing and self-awareness for people in the congregation. They feel the energy of the space and more deeply connect with their self-healing ability.
Mental healing – security comes with the knowledge that our loved ones are looking down on us from the next life. Comfort comes from the knowledge that we live on after this existence, part of life is eternal. Energy can never be destroyed it just changes form.
Emotional healing – the feeling of our loved one’s energy, forgiveness and allowing the emotional grieving process to be understood and acknowledged. Stepping more into the present moment allowing peoples energy fields to recognise and release emotional trauma.
Physical healing – feeling the energy around us, bringing the unseen into the physical world. Releasing blockages within our energy fields can help to release physical aches and pains. Our physical self connects more deeply to the world around us and offers a greater understanding of the energetic beings that we are.
Spiritual healing – accessing the greater aspects of self and feeling the connection to everything and everyone. The nature of us in relation to the universe and universal consciousness. Also, our connection to Mother Earth and natures laws.
There are a few different ways to experience mediumship, and the right one depends on what you are looking for.
Divine services are the traditional setting within Spiritualism. They usually happen on a Sunday, and they include prayers, hymns, an address and a demonstration of evidential mediumship from the platform.
Platform demonstrations are dedicated mediumship events, usually in the evening, where a medium will work with members of the audience to bring the feeling and presence of departed loved ones.
Private sittings or one-to-one sessions, are delivered either in person or online. These allow for more focused communication and are for people who are looking for specific evidence or who have something particular they want to explore. The medium can not guarantee the spirit communicator who will come through but the communication can be deeper and more sensitive in nature.
Retreats and workshops offer a longer immersion, either to experience mediumship more deeply or to begin developing your own ability. I host a number of workshops and retreats each year, you can find up and coming dates on my Events page
How long does it take to become a medium?
This is the honest answer, it is a joureny which continues to evolve and you are always learning.
What is mediumship? Mediumship is a practice, not a qualification. Some people choose to sit in a development circle and find a safe space to open their sensitivity and begin to deepen their understanding. Not every medium wishes to work publicly but if they do, residential courses, specific workshops or retreats are a great way to enhance development with platform demonstrations as a particular focus.
Initially you have to understand the training and development it takes before starting to develop a mediumistic awareness. These views are based on my observations as a medium and my own personal development.
Firstly, before any mediumistic development can take place the practitioner must first undergo a realisation within their own personal development, becoming more deeply aware of themselves, what is happening within their energy field and the energy fields surrounding them. From this point the practitioner learns to attune with different frequency which surround us but are out of the range of our five senses.
Over time they learn to differentiate between what’s them and what isn’t them, this evolves into the ability to move the restrictive aspects of their consciousness out of the way to allow speaking and communication within the flow of energy in the moment. Of course, this is a very simplified explanation and any form of attunement to different frequencies and psychic ability takes years of practice and dedication.
What matters far more than the timescale is the consistency. Regularly sitting in the silence, working with a teacher who you resonate with, being willing to get things wrong and learn, staying curious rather than becoming attached to results. Development and inner awareness happens in the quiet spaces between the exciting moments, and this truth serves most spiritual practices.
If the pull to develop is strong, find a circle and safe nurturing space, find a tutor whose work resonates with you, and simply begin. I teach both online and in person, including at the Arthur Findlay College, and you can find my current training offerings for Mentorships and specific training for Spirit Art.
Frequently asked questions
Is mediumship the same as Spiritualism?
No. Spiritualism is the religious, science and philosophical movement that grew up around the initial question of what is mediumship in the nineteenth century, and it has its own principles and practices. Mediumship is the ability itself, which exists independently of any particular religion. You can be a medium without being a Spiritualist, and you can be a Spiritualist without being a medium.
Can anyone learn mediumship?
In principle, yes. Everyone has a natural sensitivity to energy, even if it sits in the background for most of your life. What varies is how much time and patience a person is willing to give to developing that awareness, and how their life circumstances support the process.
What is mediumship and platform mediumship?
Platform mediumship is the term used for evidential mediumship delivered from a platform in front of an audience or congregation, usually in a Spiritualist church service or at a public demonstration.
Is mediumship a spiritual practice?
For most mediums, yes. The work requires a willingness to sit in stillness, to quiet the conscious mind, to stay curious, and to trust what is not yet visible. Those are spiritual qualities and practices, regardless of what tradition a person works within.
What is direct voice mediumship?
Direct voice is a form of physical mediumship in which spirit communication is heard audibly in the room, independent of the medium’s vocal cords. It is a rare phenomenon and usually occurs in dedicated physical circles with people who have sat together for many years.
Can mediumship prove life after death?
Mediumship offers evidence of life continuous, and for most people that evidence is enough. A message containing specific and relevant information the medium could not possibly have known, delivered in the personality and manner of the person who has passed, speaks clearly of life beyond this world.
Finding alignment
Asking the question what is mediumship opens a conversation to look more deeply and your own abilities and awareness. People might beign with this question but it opens to personal development and deeper understanding of our reality. Far more is happening that relates not just to mediumship but to any spiritual practice or inspired or enlightened state of awareness within any field or industry. For sports people it’s called the flow state, for artists and writers it’s called inspiration, for actors its embodiment of the character.
The practitioner may also become aware of the frequency of omnipresence and alignment with their greater self, they feel the energy within their body and have the ability to step into the energy of the present moment. It is from this point where everyone has access to the greater presence of themselves and their connection to everything and everyone in and beyond our physical and conscious reality.
Mediums and spiritual teachers have developed their knowledge and awareness to a point where they have the ability to hold space and become aware of the energetics around them. Their work is to hold space for people/students in order for them to become aware of their greater self, removing preconceived conditioning and open to their natural abilities.
What is personal alignment? There are many groups, practices and practitioners working today, all teaching different modalities of wellness and wellbeing. Everything from Body Somatic, Energy Healing, Shamanic Healing to Qigong and many different forms of Yoga and breath work practices which revolve around bringing different aspects of your being into alignment, activating greater parts of yourself and working on personal attunement. All practices and modalities have a truth within them, when you find a practice or teaching you resonate with the most important aspect is to feel into the authenticity in which the teacher and group operates. Find what is right for you.
For many teachings and practices finding a state of alignment is the goal. This can sometimes be confusing to students. The goal of the practice is to find alignment, but a common misunderstanding by students is that they think the practice is to invoke a state of serenity in everything they do, approaching life with an outlook of zen and calm. Alignment to me is something different and doesn’t necessarily mean serenity or calmness. For me it is simply a state where we have access to greater aspects of who we really are and a deeper understanding of our true nature, capability and importantly capacity.
The part of development which is not often realised
I would suggest that alignment this is just the starting point for accessing our own authenticity and self-healing to recognise these emotional reactions within our energy field that we may have previously thought of as us. It is not what’s happening externally, it is what the external world triggers internally within us. With alignment or any self-development or spiritual advancement work we start to become aware of paradigms of thought that no longer serves us or old trauma that comes back into our consciousness. This work is difficult, challenging and can often open dark spaces where we don’t want to go. This is the work; these are the places we need to explore when finding our own purity and authenticity.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Do not become confused by our human reaction to life’s challenges.
What is personal alignment? Finding your own space
The majority of these healing and balancing practices revolve around bringing together the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our humanness. During the sessions a state of alignment, inner calm and serenity is entirely possible and if working with an authentic teacher and group then easily reached. Where it falls is when students return to their daily lives and struggles and feel they need to live in a state of inner calm, they then become frustrated when they are not able to maintain the awareness and alignment without the support of the teacher and group.
A slightly different mindset is needed, the point of the teachings and sessions are not to produce a state of calm to walk through the rest of our lives. They are to produce a state of authenticity we can recognise as us. This is the reference point for living daily life, the practice and alignment allows us to feel what is us, so we are then aware what isn’t us. We are able to recognise paradigms we live in which we previously maybe thought was us.
When we work on alignment and healing it is also important to learn how to hold space for ourselves and others, experience what comes up and hold space for the point of authenticity within us. Holding space for others and allowing them to find that point within them.
After alignment – working with a practitioner or group
Students returning to the world following a course, retreat or workshop will be resonating on a different frequency, they have expanded their bandwidth. I hear,“Nothing has changed but everything is different.” They have become aware of other energies that are operating in our world. They are also more aware of how people are plugging into their energy fields through certain emotions. In some cases, students have set up supportive unconscious boundaries within their energy field so people can’t plug in as they used to, this can cause frustration and may manifest in emotional behaviour from people around the students. This is why holding space is so important.
Another point that is important to note is that certain people will now be attracted to the new frequency within their energy field, this can be both positive and negative. A lot of people who resonate on similar frequencies will come together to work together and for greater healing and development, but also people who want to take energy or plug into their energy field in an unhealthy way (Be aware that many people who you feel might be negative or have drain energy are not aware of what they are doing).
It is important to know how to take the teachings and practices you learn from others and find how they work for you as an individual. There is an element of truth in all practices and if you feel drawn to a certain teacher or practice then there is something that connects at that specific time on your journey. The next step is to find the authenticity within the teachings for yourself and allow the rest to leave. This simple point will allow you as an individual to be able to fully understand what you are doing and how it works for you, giving you deeper understanding and greater capacity. This also removes any reliance on a teacher or specific modality that has been developed by others.
Our greater responsibility
Alignment with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our being is just the beginning. You stand in your own space with greater awareness of yourself which allows for a deeper experience and ultimately deeper healing. We have a greater responsibility in today’s world, it is our role to take personal responsibility not just for our actions but also for our energy and every part of our being. We are conduits to process energy, hold space for ourselves and others in a way that they can raise to match our vibration. Become the lighthouse and signpost for others.
Holding firm within your own authenticity to allow others to find a key within your energy field to gain deeper access to their own.
Healing with Art Therapy – insight and exercise designed by Richard Stuttle
We may not consider ourselves artists or creative people, but everyone has a relationship and understanding of colour. Our everyday life is full of choices which have an underpinning influence of colour and feeling whether we are conscious of it or not. Colour is within everything; from what clothes we choose to wear each day to the colour of the foods we eat and environments we choose to work and live.
Within healing colour plays an important role, we only need to look at the chakras or colours around the auric field. Colour is given meaning or an easily understood method of understanding feeling. We also know that certain colours have different collective meanings, in nature, yellow and black as a combination highlights caution or red to signify danger.
Bright colours of flowers to attract bugs and insects for pollination. We have adopted these meaning within the consciousness of society. Red when driving signifies danger and means stop, green means go as with nature green signifies growth. As within nature we have multiple meanings for the same colour depending on the moment. A deep red rose is inviting insects to come closer, similarly when we think of the red rose we think of love. We wonderfully link colour to different emotional or energetic states, when we interpret this it goes both ways, not only to warn or attract but also to raise awareness and become more present of the moment.
Healing with Art Therapy
To open awareness to your relationship with colour is to unlock a tool for communicating with your intuition and deeper aspects of who we are. We digest colour in so many different ways, through our visual relationship with colour we can draw attention to our conscious mind of other important parts of us that may wish to be heard.
Intuitive healing alignment
We can use colour in a direct way, for this healing alignment you will need paper, pencil and box of pastels or coloured pencils.
On a sheet of paper draw eight circles in two rows of four. The bottom row relates to your conscious mind and top row your intuitive self.
Each circle along each row represents a different aspect of your being in simple terms.
Physical
Emotional
Mental
Spiritual
To begin. Relax your body, take a breath and bring as much of yourself into the present moment as possible. Feel your body and become aware of your surroundings. With your eyes open and with your conscious mind choose a colour for each circle. Start with your physical self. Choose colours for your emotional, mental and spiritual selves. As you colour each circle try to feel the colour and the meaning behind why you chose that particular colour.
Take a moment to reflect. The bottom row represents how your conscious mind perceives you and the space you are in currently. How do you feel?
Come back to the centre of you. Gently connect with the first circle, the physical aspect of you. With your eyes closed ask your intuitive self to choose a colour. Scan your hand over your box of pastels/pencils and pick up a colour. Add to the circle in the top row above the colour you chose for your physical self.
Take a moment to feel the colour, what comes up? The colour relates to what your intuitive self feels you need in this moment.
Continue the exercise connecting with each aspect of you and choosing a colour without looking. With each colour feel what it may mean for you at this time.
When you have filled all circles take a moment to reflect, are the colours from top and bottom row similar? What is the top row telling you that you may need at this time?
Benefits
Deepen the connection with your intuition.
Listening and becoming aware of the needs of other parts of yourself.
Greater understanding of the role colour plays in your life.
In conclusion
It is interesting to consider how aware we are to our needs within conscious thought and how or if it differs to our intuitive self. Repeating exercises like this is a great way we can be more aware on a daily basis to our overall needs and greater aspects of self.
Next time you choose a top to wear, have a thought as to what the colour means for your day ahead. Next time to feel like a certain food or get drawn to the red apples instead of green, ask yourself what is your intuitive self pointing out to you that you might need in this moment.

Is a psychic a medium? The short answer is “No”, does psychic ability increase attunement with the spirit world? There are a few areas of consideration. As part of spiritual development many mediums naturally become aware of their psychic ability. It becomes a tool for better understanding information through perceptive mediumship. The other main area is when a medium is holding connection with a spirit communicator and recipient or sitter. Part of the connection is a psychic link with the sitter to allow the flow of energy and love from the spirit person. The final area I would also like to touch on is the importance of personal development for a medium.
The spirit world has far greater intelligence and a wider perspective than us in our earthly bodies. They are always looking for the simplest and most energy efficient ways to communicate with their loved ones. The more facets and tools the medium has to offer the spirit world the more they will use. When a medium is developing their psychic senses many of the sensations within the body work in a similar manner when tuning into spirit, it is like learning a language. Once the medium understands their own vibrational range on a psychic level the same range is used when working on a mediumistic vibration.
Is a psychic a medium
Does psychic ability increase attunement to spirit? With expanded psychic abilities there is a point of connecting for a spirit communicator, some people in spirit are better communicators than others (just like in life). The wider the understanding or boarder the psychic range, the more subtle energies can be used by the spirit communicator.
As the medium delivers a spirit communication, they are creating a link between spirit communicator and recipient, this link allows the spirit communicator to work with the energy and the medium to bring their message to the recipient. It is often said during spirit communication that the recipient could feel their love or presence. This flow of energy is enhanced by the mediums ability to connect on a psychic or energetic level. There is also a point to make within public demonstrations, the congregation often can feel the love and emotion of spirit during a demonstration. This is also party down to the medium’s ability to connect psychically to the congregation during the service.
I would also like to mention spiritual healing. I believe that all spirit communication is healing for the recipient and spirit. It’s a wonderful connection, all mediums are healers, and all healers are mediums on some level. They are channelling energy and love from spirit or the God source to the recipient. Become the hollow bone and allow energy to flow.
As a medium, you are dealing with love and in many cases grief and loss in the form of heavy emotion. If you have developed your psychic abilities the spirit world can use those abilities to defuse heavy emotion allowing communication and spiritual healing to flow without the recipient becoming overwhelmed and upset.
The final point I would like to make is around personal development, it is the responsibility of the medium to be working on their personal development. There is nothing a medium can really do to prepare of a public demonstration as it all happens within the energy of the moment. The preparation comes within personal development, and this includes working on their psychic awareness and connection.
A quote taken from the teachings of Gordon Higginson has always resonated with me “Before you can touch the Spirit, you must find it within yourself. For all truth, for all knowledge and all love, must be found first within oneself. And the Spirit can never touch you and bring love and peace within your being and from your being, until you have found it for yourself. And before you can build a picture of love from the Spirit, you must learn to find it in this life.”
It is incredibly important to work on psychic ability to help your attunement with spirit. Attunement is partly about awareness of vibrational frequency, the more aware you can be the better channel you become for the spirit world.
Mediums often find they attract a certain type of spirit communicator, someone similar to them. Just as in life, likeminded people come together. A spirit communicator will connect to a medium who is open to their vibration. The wider spectrum you have as a medium the more spirit communicators will be able to connect.
I genuinely feel that when working with mediumship, connection with the spirit world and attunement is vital. There are areas of personal development which raises awareness of spirit and other frequencies, the medium is able to tap into information and give a clearer message or allow a greater flow of energy.
