Practice & Intention

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:

  • 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.

Q & A: Will our session be a conversation with spirit loved ones?

Q: What happens during a mediumship reading? Will it be a conversation between me and my spirit loved ones? A: Each reading is unique, so I never know what to expect during a reading. As a medium, I open myself with the highest and best intention to receive information from your spirit loved ones. Once we establish contact with a spirit loved one and have established their identity, we can engage them in conversation and ask them questions. Many times, a reading is an opportunity to chat with your family and extended family and maybe a few of your closest friends. It can be a special time for reunion and a sharing of memories. It can be a chance to say "hello" or "I'll see you again" or "I love you". Perhaps it will be a time for making amends and apologies. Or it can be an opportunity for closure and explanation. Or it can a time to receive guidance and opinions from those you trust in Spirit. Or it can be a confirmation of your own experiences with s

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ

Your job during a mediumship reading

If you are the person who is receiving a mediumship reading and desiring spirit contact, you have a very important job --- CONFIRMATION. This means confirmation either by your own personal knowledge or thru the personal knowledge of another person known to the spirit. During the course of the mediumship reading, you can confirm the information that you know to be true. And some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members who are privy to this certain info. Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are: The spirit's personality traits or physical characteristics may be described. This is part of what I call the Essence of Spirit . Most spirits are willing to share how they passed with the medium. Sometimes the spirit will give names very clearly or just the initial. Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves. They have been known to mention other family members,
