So You Want To Be A Medium!

Anyone can be a medium.

Mediumship is a beautiful example of our connection to everything through all time and space. A connection of the mental mind, the spirit, and the physical all coming together with the intent to communicate. This is mental mediumship.

Creating and holding the space for this connection.

Using the joint energy and power of the medium and the sitter to raise the vibration to another ‘plane’ or ‘state’ to reconnect with loved ones - This is mediumship.

The journey to becoming a medium is like sifting through the hung clothes, nestled tightly in the wardrobe in the Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe (Narnia). Looking for the light, the magic door to the other side, wondering what lies beyond!

Building anticipation, thinking what will I find on the other side? How will I know if I am linked to the other side? Will I be disappointed? Will I be greeted by my loved ones? Will I see nothing at all.

All this questioning building like the swirl of kinetic energy growing in a whirly wind, a tornado, building and building almost climatic!

The cliché medium is the one we see in movies. The local medium is called into contact the spirits that terrorise the family who dwells in the ‘haunted house’. You know the house, the one that is unkept at the end of the street that just screams ‘haunted’. The hype that it is only the medium who sees, who knows, who feels what lurks beyond the physical. But I ask you, was it not the people living in the home who first felt or heard or smelt something odd? Or the repeated rapping or knocking that everyone heard? the family that lives in terror, staying awake with their eyes peeled just waiting in anticipation to see what event happens next? Is the family not, themselves, mediums to experience and witness this phenomenon together?

Can anyone be a medium? Or is it only for the select few who were simply born into the world with this unique gift? There is a belief that mediums are born and not everyone is a medium. I take a different view. If we all have will and can choose what we want to create, then why can’t we choose to be a medium?

If you can grasp the concept that we (living and the deceased) are all connected to each other through some collective energetic web or grid, and we are simply just occupying different forms of energy at any one time eg people living are simply a physical form of energy versus people who have passed and their spirit takes an etherical spiritual form in the afterlife; and also that we are constantly changing, transmuting from one form to another at various times whether living or deceased, perhaps your on your way to being a medium.

Why is it a baby cannot speak the family language as a newborn, yet their mother or father instinctively knows there is something wrong or the baby needs to be tended too. Perhaps by the different sound of their cry or how long they cry for, or is it simply using the innate mental connection that we all have, the language of spirit connection?

Why is it that you when visit your mum who has dementia and is unable to string a coherent sentence together; though when you gaze into her glazed eyes you just know she knows who you are, and she knows you are familiar, and you represent safety for her without uttering a single word?

The mental connection we see on the physical plane (the living) is not dissimilar to the connection we feel in the spiritual plane. We simply ‘intend’ to make a connection, to understand and to listen with our hearts rather than with our physical ears.

The well-known Hermes of Ancient Egypt believed, (and later concretized into the book The Kybalion), that the universe is mental. If we are all connected through all time and space then we are of the universe, then we must too be able to tap into, communicate with other beings using our mentality, through our mental state.

Simply setting the intention of connecting with the spirit world using the power of our mental mind and focus on that connection, then why wouldn’t we all be able to connect?

To offer a simple 3-step process or the ingredients to being a medium, is simplistic thinking.

A medium grows, expands, changes, adapts to their own physical environment and experiences and adapts with their audience and their sitters for whom they read. Constantly evolving and being guided by their own intuition.

So can anyone be a medium? I say, why not, if you choose it.

With intention and focus and truly knowing yourself, then why can’t you be a medium. It goes without saying, practising and refining your mediumistic skills is an important element in developing your mediumship.

Like with anything you are going for in your life – intention, focus, commitment and knowing yourself enables you to do and be anything your heart desires.
