Practice and intention --- these are the two main ingredients to developing good mediumship abilities. As I tell my clients and students frequently, without those key concepts the tires will just spin in the mud. I will explain further what practice and intention mean to me ...
Intention: This means asking for the Highest and Best in your mediumship. When you are connecting with those in Spirit, you want the highest vibrational frequency possible. Purity of intention is vastly important in spirit contact. You want to receive uplifting and healing messages (and sometimes guidance) from Spirit. Raising the vibration is another way of insuring right intention. Also, recognize that it is important you are not what I call a "leaky faucet", someone who pushes your intuition expressions onto others [more about this in future blogs]
Practice: This means absorbing and applying the techniques of right intention and spirit contact on a regular basis. Books and personal meditation can take you a bit down the road, but having real hands-on opportunities to practice your mediumship are most important. Here are some ways to have regular practice:

Practice: This means absorbing and applying the techniques of right intention and spirit contact on a regular basis. Books and personal meditation can take you a bit down the road, but having real hands-on opportunities to practice your mediumship are most important. Here are some ways to have regular practice:
- Commit yourself to your spiritual growth, even and especially on the days where you feel you have reached a plateau.
- Develop mind focus through concentration techniques. This prepares your mind to assist you with spirit contact.
- Attend a weekly development circle. My preference is a circle that offers weekly lessons (auras, spirit guides, messagework, readings, symbols, etc) followed by a brief meditation that leads into an exchange of spirit messages from and to your peers. Many Spiritualist churches offer these opportunities for mediumship development.
- Attend mediumship workshops, classes, and seminars taught by instructors who exhibit right intention. For the beginner, intermediate, and advanced mediumship students, some of these classes will provide much-needed opportunities for guinea pigs as you fine-tune your gifts.
As you engage yourself in intention and practice, you will find your spiritual growth assists in the process.
