State aloud your intention to open the door through which to speak and receive messages from the spirit world. Whether you encounter interaction on a personal level or in a formal reading session, know that the universe hears you. There is a divine plan in place greater than you and your intention. Allow things to happen. Tune In Clairtangency (also known as psychometry): The act of or ability to perceive information from a place or object. I often use photographs when teaching psychometry. The key to being a psychic medium is intuition. Have you ever thought of a friend hours or minutes before they call you? Or perhaps you've experienced an overwhelming urge to go somewhere, only to realise, in retrospect, that there was a very good reason for going there. Alternatively, you may just know something about someone without them telling you, or you may sense that something is going to happen before it happens. It could be that you can detect when someone is telling a fib. That's your intuition in action. Your loved ones are on schedules of their own and are adjusting to being on the other side in much the same way you are adjusting to their passing. Think of it as if they are getting situated in a new home. Give them time to settle. It will help them make the transition easier. Simply tell your loved ones that you are perfectly willing to receive their messages when they are ready to communicate. Also, remember that wanting to communicate too eagerly may hinder communication. Be decisive, objective, and confident, so the spirit can feel comfortable enough to trust you. Be free of expectations, and the event will come to fruition in a way that is natural and free-flowing. State your Intention We don’t need to invest money into crystals, plants, tarot cards, or expensive items. Your intuition and innate wisdom are not dependent on the presence of a crystal. They are simply a beautiful yet optional part of complementing your physical space. Let your body and intuition guide you toward what feels right for you.

Occasionally, the information we receive through our psychic senses is completely at odds with our rational mind. Our rational mind has been trained to think and act in a certain way by various social institutions. We have all learned appropriate modes of behaviour from our school, family, workplace and society at large. Furthermore, we have been taught about the things that society holds valuable, such as a 'sensible' job, a house, a car etc. We have perhaps been taught that our psychic abilities are nonsensical or flights of fancy. We are trained to override them and trust our rational mind instead. Most of us have learnt to ignore the information we receive through our psychic senses.So, when you receive those random bytes of information, sit up and pay attention! In a private session, personal and sensitive information may be discussed if it is a benefit to your healing. You should understand most of the evidence that is being presented to you, however there are sometimes things that do not make sense until after a reading. I love getting messages from clients letting me know that they’ve uncovered an item that we discussed that was in their loved one’s possessions or spoke to other family members and learned that they did in fact have an aunt named Gwendolyn. The spirit world knows exactly which type of evidence to present to the medium to identify themselves, although it may not always be exactly what you are expecting. It helps to keep an open mind. Experiencing a mediumship reading is often a profound and healing experience, and you will want to give yourself time to process your session if possible. Taking an afternoon off from work afterwards or setting some time aside to reflect can be beneficial to the healing process. Do this each day for at least ten minutes. This daily practice will help the Spirit World attune to you, as well as help you to develop the discipline of mind needed to practice mediumship.

Claircognizance means “clear knowing” and refers to the ability to receive information by knowing. This is the only sense that does not give us the chance to interpret or question, we “just know.” Physical mediumship is a rare type of mediumship and is often defined by changes that occur in our physical environment brought by communication with the spirit world. These changes may be a hot or cold feeling in the room, apparitions appearing, objects being moved, or in some cases may take the form of automatic writing in which the medium’s writing is controlled by a spirit communicator. There are also forms of automatic writing which are not physical mediumship, but more an influence of the spirit communicator or influence of the medium's soul.

Unlock Your Inner Medium

Connecting with the spirit world requires the use of all of your senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing, feeling, and seeing. Therefore, the practice of any one of the Sense-Abilities takes your physical senses to a higher spiritual level. It is the practice of one or more of the Sense-Abilities that gives deeper meaning to the function of your senses. A Technique for Sensing Spirit Energies They ask more questions than provide information. You don't need to provide information during a mediumship reading. Sometimes coaches, tarot readers, or healers will ask questions in a collaborative style reading to help you grow and this is a different type of reading. A genuine Psychic or Medium will be honest and tell you if they are not feeling a strong connection and make a referral to someone who may be a better fit. It’s rare but it does happen and not every Medium can read every single person!

The journey of the spiritual medium may take many routes. You might be called to be a healer, or a tutor orconsultant at the College, or a person who gives comfort in bereavement. It may be that you feel called to use your gifts in combination with tarot or lenormand cards or palm reading. All of these skills are opportunities to use and develop your psychic mediumship gifts to help others. You will be guided every step of the way, so listen closely to what your guides and helpers direct you to do, and dive in! Remain detached I believe we all have some mediumship abilities and the ability to connect to our own loved ones that have passed to the spirit world. We all have Spirit Guides and can communicate with them to receive help and healing. When opening your connection to something healthy, usually, now is the best time to start a new leg of your journey. Dominic will be coming for another in-person retreat at Spirit School again in May! In the meantime, we will be doing another online mediumship workshop:Clairsentience is the ability to feel information. Everyone has clairsentience so if you’re not sure which clair is strongest start here! Clairsentience may be the most valuable yet undervalued way we receive information. Because we are often taught to dismiss our feelings, many intuitive people discredit and question the strong clairsentient messages they receive — but we feel that information all the same. They use fear as a motivator, or tell you they need more money or more sessions to help you remove a curse, bad energy or anything similar. They try to sell you crystals or other items outside of your budget to help “heal you". Mediumship is neither scary nor dangerous, and is in fact it very natural. Our passed loved ones want to communicate with us, to guide and support us. They want us to know that we are never alone and to have trust in our journey. The Spirit World comes to us only in love and will never harm. Connecting with Spirit in a swirling cloud of emotions, confusion is not the best way to open up a clear channel. If you are clairvoyant, you may rely heavily on the images you see to convey the messages of Spirit and pay less attention to receiving clairaudient information or sense.

You sometimes meet people and “just know” things about them or their lives without them telling you. You are very good at reading situations and people, you have a gut feeling or strong inner knowing that seems to lead you through your life.Sit in a relaxed position. Place your non-dominant hand over the photo of the living person, palm facing upward in an attitude of receptivity. Now give some thought to the person. Remember to be mindful of your breath. You don’t have to look at the photo, but rather, feel the thoughts of the person as the thoughts begin to emanate. Record what memories come to mind, what feelings you sense inside and outside of your body. Can you see what that person is wearing? Do you hear the voice? What is the person saying? Is there a smell present? Or, are you aware of a color? Write everything down that presents itself to you. Information is connected to the spirit’s energy. There is no right or wrong in this process.

Recognizing how you receive information will help strengthen your mediumship abilities. Most people will use all of these senses to receive information and it is likely one sense will be stronger than another. Once you know how you are receiving information most easily you can begin to develop your abilities. All humans are naturally clairsentient and will be able to feel information so if you are not sure which sense is strongest for you, start by developing your clairsentience. Now that we have established that you are naturally psychic, how do we actually become a psychic medium? Recognition is your first step. Any programme of serious psychic development must begin with the recognition that you have psychic ability. For some, this ability might be just a tiny inkling of one of Ivy Northage's psychic signs listed above. While for others, it might be a more heightened awareness of your abilities. Whatever your level right now, it is important at this stage to admit to – and own! – your psychic potential. Affirm to yourself, with assurance, that you have some degree of psychic ability. This is your first step to becoming a psychic medium. Exercise: Affirm your psychic abilities If you are clairaudient, you may primarily rely on the words and messages you hear to convey the meaning to the world, and get serendipitous messages that pop into your mind. Today, I invite in love, truth, and the highest healing for all of those involved. I ask that only those operating in the Divine Light of the Divine step forward in our connection. With love and gratitude in advance and always." An example closing intention

Clairtangency is another word for psychometry. Psychometry is The act of or ability to perceive information from a place or object. I often use photographs when teaching psychometry. Psychometry gives us another way of knowing. The word derives from the Greek word “psyche” meaning soul and “metro” meaning to measure and refers to the psychic ability to read or sense energy from an object. Usually, most psychic mediums I meet are already channeling their gifts and using them when sharing with others. That's what's so fun about classes. You often learn where you are already applying your gift and how to direct it to benefit all in a better way. Mediumship is almost nothing like how Hollywood portrays it. In fact, many people have mediumship abilities that they aren't aware of because they're waiting for them to manifest like they have seen in popular culture and movies. Mediumship is very subtle and in the development of mediumship we learn to live in that subtlety.
