Mediumship
for the Beginner
By
Stargazr
If you are
the type of person who has "hunches" about things before they
happen or even as they happen, then you have the ability to
take these gifts and develop them further. Throughout
the years, one of the things I find common among GOOD readers
is their inept ability to zero in on what a person and loved
one is feeling, usually due to the fact that their own lives
have been
filled with traumatic events of one kind or another. A
good reader can not only feel/sense, but they can sympathize
and relate to all. For this reason, if you lack the ability
to share your gut feelings or if you are too busy to care, then
mediumship would not be the right path for you. You can't
do a half reading. It is all or nothing.
Mediums should
have a sense of humor, common sense, time to study, patience,
and faith in themselves, something greater than themselves (God)
and spirit. Mediums
should not be doormats (Dear Abby's, give medical advice), expect
to be 100% correct or look for negative things while giving
a reading. They should not take on everyone's problems.
Mediums will drain and tire quickly if they do. I
have seen what I call "The Doomsday Mediums" out there.
Beware of this in yourself. Look at your messages... are
you seeing bad things happening to people most of the time?
Are you looking for such things? I know a medium who was
very good at describing blood and gut situations but could not
see any "good" things around a person when doing a reading.
She had set this as her "mode" and it became a habit.
Spirits will
do everything they can to get a message to you. They use
your thoughts.. your mental library... to tap into to give you
messages. You must really keep your mind open to all mental
pictures or feelings you receive. There
are volumes of information in libraries these days. If
you really feel that you would like to enhance your God-given
gift, then you must also be prepared to become the patient student
and study, study, study. With many books come many different
ways of mediumship. Keep what feels right to you. . .explore
it. I don't believe we are given more than we can
handle. .
.and if you miss something, it will come around again.
Here are a
few things I would recommend to a beginning medium:
- Write down
those experiences in which you feel you made a connection to
spirit, no matter how subtle.
- As mentioned
above, read all the books you can on the subject.
- Watch other
readers.
- Make notes
of what you admire and what turns you off.
- Remind yourself
that you are a child of God. Therefore, you are worthy
to do this.
- Have faith
in yourself.
- Find an
online friend who would be more than happy to be your "guinea
pig." Each time you meet, try to envision what color they
are wearing, then ask.
Remember
that even when you are wrong, you are still working that "psychic
muscle" and that's always good.
When you begin to read for others, let them know you are new!
Being upfront is being fair to you and them and removes added
pressure.
When I first
started my mediumship, I wasn't much of a medium. I was
actually more of a psychic. It wasn't long before I could
go through a list of names in a channel and tell them all their
birth months. It was later as I focused my energy on what
was around people, not so much the people themselves,..that
I started to see their loved ones.
Mediumship
is energy..and you have to learn to tune into it. You
will find that at first you will tire very quickly doing readings.
That's normal. But if you have been reading a long time
and you tire easily, that means you are not letting spirit do
their job. When you let their energy flow, messages come
clearer and you almost have a sense of jumping off of your chair
from their energy. This, too, is something that you will
learn to tone down so that your own hypersensitivy does not
interfere with the
messages. So
for now.. as a beginner.. consider yourself a student of the
metaphysical and be prepared for a lifetime of learning, sharing
and healing. Now get in your car and go check out a book!
God bless,
Stargazr
