Spirit Space: Learning Space - More Do It Yourself

Welcome to more tips on developing your abilities. I deliberately posted this page separately so that you would have time to explore some of the issues raised on the previous page. If you have not done so, please do it now.

So you now feel that you know why you wish to become a medium, you have a general idea of how you believe, and you have learned how to meditate and how to put up the white light of protection. You have read a few books or been exposed to the techniques of other mediums and you just can't wait to get started doing it yourself. You realize that even though you may have experienced spontaneous communication for many years that there is more to the issue than just natural talent. You are, perhaps, ready to go forward.

Remember that we are all individuals and in being so learn in different ways and at different levels. What might work for others may not work for you. These instructions are meant to be signposts, not law. Take what feels right to you and discard the rest.

How do you know when you are communicating with spirit? We covered some of the most common ways that mediums "see, feel, or hear" the spirit. There are many other ways that they communicate as well.

Touch	Very often you will experience a physical touch. Spirit often hugs us, pats us on the shoulder, ruffles our hair or even holds our hands. Whether you are practicing your skills of mediumship or just wishing for communication from a loved one you may feel spirit touch you especially if they were the type of people that communicated by touch. Too often we pass this off as imagination.

Smells	It is not unusual to smell a particular scent when spirit comes around. The most common smell seems to be that of tobacco smoke. I will often first notice the presence of spirit by a smell of smoke and I then ask was so and so a smoker? The other scents are of aftershave, perfume, flowers, lotions, even popcorn or other foodstuffs that will identify the spirit.

Weird Vibrations

Another very common way to know that spirit is there and ready to communicate is by a different feeling in your physical body. Some get a buzzing in an ear, others a tingling in a limb. For me, my left hand begins to tremble. Everything, and I mean everything, is made of energy. When spirit attempts to communicate they must lower their energy field and the medium must raise theirs. That shift is often perceived by a change in our physical body. Learn to discern how spirit communicates with you personally and be aware that different spirits come in different ways.

Electrical Changes

My favorite! There are times that the very first thing you will notice is a change of some kind in the electrical things around you. A light may lower and brighten, blink off and on, the phone may ring, just once, the computer screen may seem to wobble, a radio station may change or the microwave may beep. It seems some spirits have difficulty in not affecting the main energy source that surrounds us--electricity. During one reading I was conducting over the computer, I had a spectacular visit where the spirit absolutely fried a small digital clock I had next to my computer.

Instant Replay

You may find yourself in a discussion with someone and out of the blue you will see a scene like a movie. It can be a memory of your own or a scene completely unfamiliar to you. If you determine that there was nothing in the conversation that should have prompted this vision, you can be assured that spirit is there. Keep a record of these occurrences and make sure you mention it to the person you are talking to.

To be an accurate medium you must learn to be aware of everything that goes on around you. Take a moment to close your eyes and mentally see, feel and hear everything that is taking place in your environment right now. Do this at least once a day. It is a good way to tune in. If you are in a reading be sure to sense the environment before during and after the reading.

Still waiting for those precise instructions that will make you a great medium? OK, here they are in a nutshell:

Know why you want to be a medium.
Know how you believe.
Meditate.
Be aware.
Have good intent.
Interact with others of like mind.
Read
Study and ask questions.
Keep an open mind.
Don't feel like spirit will communicate with you in exactly the same way it does with other mediums.
Speak aloud your intent to help others through your ability to speak with spirit.
Wait.
Accept that you have the ability and want to use it in love.
Drink lots of water, eat less red meat, exercise more and wait.
Allow the communications to begin and don't think it is your imagination.
Practice with friends and family and complete strangers. There are some good chat rooms that will enable you to do just that. Use mine if you want to.
Do not fear the process. Remember, be careful what you wish for. You will get it.
Don't feel like you are being silly when events begin to happen to you. Tell us or someone else about your experiences.
And last but by no means least. Go within, for it is there that spirit speaks loudest.
