Mediumships Advantages

Mediumship is the process where a person who exists on the earth plane is able to successfully communicate with a spirit and convey back information that can be of great emotional help to a person seeking answers. This ability to communicate with spirits and become the channel or medium through which the spirit is able to provide the information that is sought has been in existence since ancient times. The origins of trance mediumship can be traced to the Oracle of Delphi where young women or priestesses would convey instructions passed on from the Gods. From the time of a chosen few, trance mediumship has evolved wholly to include ordinary men and women who have the ability to communicate with spirits.

There are two types of mediumship – physical and mental. Mental mediumship is seen when the medium communicates with the spirits telepathically. This could be in the form of clairvoyance where the medium is able to see the spirit or clairaudience where the medium can hear the sounds made by the spirit and clairsentience where the medium feels the spirit in the vicinity. Amongst the forms of mediumships, trance mediumship has received great attention in recent times.

When spirits form a channel of communication with a medium, they exert a certain amount of control over the consciousness of the medium. Most mediums do not know what they speak and become the voice of the spirit in totality. When this happens, the medium is said to be in a state of trance. In this state, the medium is just the body that is used to convey to the sitter all the information and there will be marked changes in the language, style of talking and tone of voice. The deeper the trance, the more obvious will be the characteristics of the spirit who is using the medium as a channel to communicate.

Focus and concentration are the most important tools that the medium employs in trance mediumship. When the medium is able to concentrate all energies in creating a channel of communication, it becomes easy for the medium to enter into a state of trance. The ego which the medium normally has is put aside and the consciousness of the spirit becomes the mediums for the period of communication. This does not mean that the medium is possessed by the spirit but that the consciousness of the spirit becomes the mediums to provide the necessary information. As it is normal for mediums that go into deep trance to not be able to recollect what they have spoken, they are assisted by other people who record all the information that was conveyed in the state of trance. The record is then analysed for the information expected and is given to the sitter.
