What is a Mediumistic Sitting?
During a private ‘sitting’, the medium endeavours to offer verification of a loved one in the spirit world. This provides evidence of survival after death; the continued existence of your loved one.
The medium has the ability to receive information from a discarnate source.
through:
Clairsentience = the ability to ‘feel clearly’ (feel spirit)
Clairvoyance = the ability to ‘see clearly’ (see spirit)
Clairaudience = the ability to ‘hear clearly’ (hear spirit)
Clairknowing = is information received other than through these three abilities.
What can I anticipate during a mediumistic sitting?
The world of the spirit exists all around us; it may be better to consider it as a dimension rather than a place. Most people deduce that this world, this realm of God, exists on a different vibration form our own: mediums develop to attune to this different and higher frequency. Similarly, those in the Spirit World can tune into us thus forming a connection that enables communication. The initial “contact” is often referred to as “making a link”.
Through thought, the medium makes a request for a spirit communicator to come forward. Just how successful the communication is depends on the development of the medium, the attitude of the client and the willingness of the spirit to communicate. It is important to realise that spirit people have the choice of communicating with us, and that the medium can in no way force the spirit person to make itself known.
Once a link is established, the spirit person will often want to verify its identity. The spirit then transmits thoughts to the medium which may be achieved through a form of images, words or feelings. For example, the message “Your mother is here, she wants to tell you… “ does not constitute verification of survival after death. An accomplished medium should be able to give you verification of survival. This may include a description of your loved one such as height, hair colour, sex, relationship character traits and shared memories.
It will depend on the strength of the communicator, and how long it lasts, but there should be no doubt that the medium is talking about someone recognisable. The information may seem to flow effortlessly; or may seem a little erratic, with the medium needing to work harder to determine what is being transmitted. This variation in intensity, or quality, is often related to the development and education of the medium or how well the person in the spirit world communicates.
The underlying purpose behind mediumship is to establish the existence of life after death, to console and advise others, and to further encourage spirituality. It is also a reminder that we are spirit here and now, and that how this life is lived is of great significance.
Points to remember
How can I make my sitting more successful?
Keep an open, yet questioning mind. Remember that the information given by the one in spirit is more relevant to them than to you. At times, you may have to verify the evidence given to receive confirmation. Try not to limit your thoughts to one or two people: the message could be from anyone you have known or from people who passed over before you were born.
The success of any sitting depends on three things: the medium, the spirit and you. During the consultation, acknowledge the information being given. This aids not only in the accuracy of the information, but also allows the medium to remain focussed on the communication with the one in spirit.
Frequently asked questions
Is it frightening?
Not in the slightest. The people who may wish to communicate with you from the Spirit World are people who knew and cared about you when they were on earth. Why should you be frightened of them now?
What if they tell me something I do not want to know?
By natural law, spirit people are bound to communicate in terms of truth and love, therefore, they will not tell you anything that is going to worry or upset you.
Does the medium go into a trance?
No. During your sitting the medium is fully conscious and in a heightened state of awareness.
