Language of Spirit

For those who attended my 'Language of Spirit' class on Friday March 7th, I wish to share the book quotes I read regarding the development of Mediumship.
Speaking from the Spirit World, W.T. Snead said, "I do not transmit words.  I speak to you in the language of spirits, that is to say, I think, and the vibrations of my thoughts are transmitted by the intermediary of our spirit bodies.  Your spirit body then gives consciousness of my thoughts to your brain." 
I feel this is an excellent way of describing the process of spirit communication.  Mediumship is about speaking soul to soul, using the faculties of the mind and thought to give expression to the impressions received from the spirit world.


Another important point to remember is the great part which is played in mediumship by the subconscious. 
All spirit messages come through the subconscious, which is the seat of the most wonderful organ of all, the memory... A mediums reacts to her ethereal environment by means of her ethereal senses, and whatever stimuli she experiences, is registered in her memory.  This, when in the form of a spirit message, must therefore rise to her material consciousness, through the subconscious, before it can be given to the recipient.
We live in two worlds: ethereal and material.  Communication between the two worlds is made possible by a development of the spiritual gifts of Mediumship.  As we learn the language of spirit, we decipher symbols, impressions, and feelings.  Cultivating a greater understanding of symbols, archetypal and otherwise, will serve you well in your study of Mediumship.


At class this coming Friday, we will be exploring Mediumship Exercises to Enhance Awareness.  Hope to see you there!

Lily Dale: The Season

"The Season". *** To those of you are not familiar with Lily Dale, this phrase may seem to indicate the time of year (winter, spring, summer, fall). But for those who know and love Lily Dale, it's so much more. And I shall attempt to describe some of "The Season" to you now. Running from usually the last weekend of June until the day before Labor Day, "The Season" takes place during the summer months in a spiritual community called Lily Dale. Whether summer visitors come for a day, a week, a month, or a season, they mention that they feel "an amazing peace when I enter the gate". For many, "The Season" has been a time for spiritual pilgrimage and renewal, education and fellowship, evidence of spirit contact, and healing. During "The Season", there is plenty to do every minute of the day. The schedule is abundant with healing services, spirit message services, thought exchanges, lectures, circles, seminars, and classes. In ...

Flashes of light

I am a medium , so I 'see' things. *smile* Well, every now and then, I see a small light. (And I don't mean an orb or a light flying around the room like Tinkerbell.) I am talking about a small pinprick of light that remains stationary and lasts for 2-3 seconds. It resembles a star from the night sky, albeit a very miniature one. This little 'flash of light' is a spirit. Sometimes I see a 'flash of light' (or a miniature star) around clients during readings --- either near the client's chair or in another part of the room. Also, I remember seeing them in a museum, on the trail in the woods, here at home, and at church. When I see that pinprick of light, I focus on asking the spirit to provide me with more information and to share their essence . Much like seeing spirit in side vision , it's a way that we can perceive those in spirit. These flashes of light are just another way for spirit loved ones to communicate that they are with us. In fact, some...

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,...
