For the past few days, I have been giving lots of spirit messages during the 5:30 p.m. Message Service at the Inspiration Stump. This is due to the fact that this particular week, my mother Bonnie White is the chairperson for this service so I am helping her out. (It's good to support family!)
Before today's message service, another medium and I were discussing the different styles of public mediumship (aka standup messagework). The two main methods are direct and indirect.
Let's start with Indirect: With the indirect method, the medium gives out a few pieces of information and then sees who can take the message. Many people refer to this as British-style mediumship. Typically, it takes a bit more time to give the message because of working to identify the recipient. Often, more than one person can accept the message and there can be a bit of back and forth to establish what pieces of information the various audience members can accept.
Direct: As the name implies, the medium goes directly to the person and gives them the message. This is the technique I use.
I allow Spirit to direct me to the person I am to give a message to. Sometimes there is a light around the person. Or a light that I follow to the person. Other times, I feel magnetically drawn to the person and the rest of the audience fades. I get tunnel vision, so I tend not to see the others. I am completely focused on my connection with their loved one in Spirit and what the message is.
Most mediums at Lily Dale tend to use the direct method, although some mediums who have been training with British mediumship teachers use the indirect method at times.
