WHAT IS MEDIUMSHIP?

One of my students in the psychic development class I run asked me what exactly is mediumship?

As a professional psychic I find that many people often confuse it with other psychic abilities

Mediumship is the ability to communicate with spirit and provide evidence of life after death. It is not a way to look into your future.

To channel communication from 'the other side' mediums usually work closely with their spirit guides and it is this that distinguishes them from psychics - though some offer both services.

Some work by seeing spirit (clairvoyance) whilst others sense, see, and hear ( known as clairsentient clairvoyance and clairaudient)

They may also go into a trance like state and assume the voice, or facial gestures of the spirit making contact.

Most well-known mediums claim to have had this gift since childhood and that they have always been able to see 'spirit' around them.

But a few say it began after a traumatic incident in their lives i.e. an accident.

The famous 20th century Dutch medium Peter Hurkos credited with helping police solve 27 murders throughout Europe had a dramatic tale to tell of how he was suddenly able to communicate with spirit. In 1941 at the age of 30, he fell off a ladder in the Netherlands while painting a house and survived a four-story plunge. He hit his head on the ground below and while recovering he found he was hearing and seeing spirit. The accident also sparked in him an uncanny ability to "read" a person by being in close proximity or touching an object associated with that person. Many unsolved police cases were helped by his ability to tune into the spirit world and some grieving parents of missing children had reason to be grateful to him. But in 1956, he visited the United States under the sponsorship of a psychic research society and got caught up with the Hollywood set. Overnight,he became a celebrity, offering psychic readings to Hollywood stars and going onstage, and his wonderful gift was lost to those most in need.

Remember if you seek a spirit reading genuine mediums would never claim to be able to contact specific people. But they should be able to bring you messages from loved ones that you would immediately recognize

Also beware of the “doom and gloom” mediums. I’ve known someone be told some really unpleasant things. You should not leave a sitting feeling distressed, but rather uplifted and happy in the knowledge that your loved ones in spirit are at peace.

Reading Linda Preston's article about mediumship it reminded me of what happened to me many years ago when I was in my thirties.

When I lived in London back in the 1980s and my daughter was about four, it was a summer evening and I had just put her to bed. Standing in my bedroom I could hear mumbling coming from her bedroom.

I went in to investigate. She was asleep. I looked down at her, listening to what she was saying which was 'Use the power'.

I wondered if she was talking about something which happened at nursery school earlier in the day. When I asked 'What power, the electricity?' She shook her head.

'My power?' I asked. She knodded and fell asleep.

Whatever power it is I do feel I am aware of people in the spirit world who are impatient to give me messages to pass on to the people I come into contact with and who they were close to in life.

I've only used this power on an informal basis in the past, never professionally - I'm a bank pensioner now and free to join a development circle and take the matter further.

Linda, can you give me some advice please. Diana
