Mediumship is the practice of serving as a bridge between the physical world and the spirit world, delivering messages, impressions, or sensations from those who have passed on, guides, or other spiritual beings.
At its core, mediumship is about communication — not in the physical sense, but through subtle, non-physical channels. Mediums use heightened sensitivity to pick up on energy, symbols, emotions, or direct thoughts from spirit.
There are a few main ways people connect with spirits:
- Mental Mediumship
This is the most common form, where the spirit communicates through the medium’s mind.
- Clairvoyance – “Clear seeing”: receiving mental images, symbols, or visions.
- Clairaudience – “Clear hearing”: hearing words, names, or sounds internally.
- Clairsentience – “Clear feeling”: sensing emotions, physical sensations, or energy shifts.
- Clair cognizance – “Clear knowing”: receiving knowledge or truth without explanation.
- Physical Mediumship
The spirit uses the medium’s energy to cause physical effects in the environment—such as sounds, object movement, changes in temperature, or even direct voice phenomena. This is rarer and usually happens in special conditions, often with a group present.
- Trance Mediumship
The medium enters a deep altered state, allowing a spirit communicator to speak or work through them more directly. The medium might remember little of what was said afterward.
How Mediums Connect with Spirits
While every medium develops their own style, the process often includes:
- Raising Vibration – The medium lifts their energy through meditation, breathwork, or prayer.
- Setting Intention – They clearly ask for connection with a specific spirit or the highest source of truth and love.
- Blending Energies – Spirit lowers its vibration, the medium raises theirs, and they meet in the middle.
- Receiving – The medium becomes aware of impressions, images, words, feelings, or symbols and translates them into messages.
- Delivering the Message – The medium shares the information, often with evidential details to validate the spirit’s identity.
Many mediums stress that this work is based on love, healing, and service—not entertainment. Ethical practice involves protecting both the medium’s and sitter’s emotional well-being, and working only with spirit beings aligned to positive, healing intentions.
Step-by-Step Spirit Connection Process
- Prepare Your Energy (Raising Vibration)
Before you even try to connect, you need to shift your state:
- Meditation – Spend 5–10 minutes focusing on calm breathing, softening thoughts.
- Gratitude or Prayer – Gratitude naturally raises your vibration.
- Light Visualization – Imagine a warm, bright light expanding from your heart or crown.
Why? Spirits communicate more easily when your energy is “lighter” and more focused.
- Set Your Intention
Say aloud or in your mind:
“I wish to connect only with spirits of the highest light, truth, and love who come for healing and guidance.”
This is like tuning your radio to the right frequency and locking out interference.
- Blend Your Energy with Spirit
This is the “meeting in the middle” phase:
- Spirit lowers their frequency.
- You raise yours.
- You imagine your energy expanding outward and a loving presence drawing near.
You may feel:
- Tingling in hands, face, or crown of the head.
- A change in temperature.
- A shift in emotion or awareness.
- Notice the First Impressions
Spirits rarely “shout” in your mind. They start subtly:
- A sudden image or memory.
- An unexplained feeling (joy, sadness, humor).
- A name, sound, or smell that pops up.
Key tip: Don’t judge it at this stage. Write it down. Even small details can prove meaningful later.
- Engage Gently
Mentally “ask” the presence to share more.
You might say:
“Can you show me something that will help identify you?”
Then pay attention:
- Do you see an object?
- Hear a word?
- Sense a relationship? (e.g., fatherly, friendly, maternal energy)
- Deliver and Validate
If you’re practicing with someone, share exactly what you get — don’t filter it. Often the sitter will recognize details you don’t understand.
If you’re alone, write everything in a journal to track patterns over time.
- Close the Connection
This is important for your own well-being.
Thank the spirit, imagine the light around you becoming stronger, and state:
“This connection is complete for now. Thank you for coming in love.”
This keeps your spiritual boundaries clear so you don’t stay “open” all day.
Biggest beginner mistake:
Dismissing impressions because “it’s just my imagination.” The truth is — spirit uses your imagination as their canvas. The difference is that the impressions come with a subtle shift in energy that feels different from daydreaming. With practice, you’ll learn that “feel” immediately.
Here’s a short daily spirit-connection exercise you can do in 5–7 minutes — perfect for building consistency without feeling overwhelmed.
Daily Spirit Link Practice
- Center (1 min)
- Sit quietly.
- Close your eyes, take slow deep breaths.
- Imagine roots from your feet going deep into the Earth, grounding you.
- Raise Vibration (1 min)
- Picture a warm golden light in your heart expanding outward.
- Think of one thing you’re deeply grateful for — feel it fully.
- Invite (2 min)
Say silently or aloud:
“I invite my highest guides, loved ones in spirit, and beings of light to draw near in love.”
Then:
- Notice first impressions — a feeling, word, image, or sensation.
- Don’t analyze — just observe and receive.
- Ask & Listen (2–3 min)
- Silently ask: “What message or sign do you have for me today?”
- Watch for whatever comes — an image, phrase, symbol, or emotion.
- Even if it feels random, accept it without judgment.
- Thank & Close (30 sec)
- Say: “Thank you for your presence and message. I close this connection now in love.”
- Imagine the golden light wrapping around you like a protective cocoon.
Tip for results:
Keep a small notebook or voice recorder nearby. Write exactly what you experienced, no matter how strange or small. Over time you’ll start noticing repeating symbols or feelings that become your personal “spirit language.”
If you’d like, I can also give you a list of common ways spirit sends signs during the day so you can spot their “follow-up” communication after your exercise. That’s when the magic really starts to feel undeniable. Would you like me to share that list?
Here’s a list of the most common ways spirit sends signs during your day — many of these show up after you’ve done a connection exercise, as if they’re “answering back.”
Signs from Spirit during the Day
- Nature & Animals
- Bird encounters (especially cardinals, blue jays, hawks, owls) in unusual places or behavior.
- Butterflies, dragonflies, bees approaching you or lingering.
- Feathers in unexpected spots.
- Numbers & Patterns
- Repeating numbers on clocks, receipts, license plates (e.g., 111, 222, 444).
- Significant dates popping up repeatedly (birthday, anniversary).
- Sights & Sounds
- A song playing at exactly the right time with meaningful lyrics.
- Hearing your name whispered or a familiar voice (especially in a quiet moment).
- A random object catching your eye that triggers a memory.
- Technology & Electrical
- Flickering lights, electronics turning on/off without reason.
- Phone notifications or messages at exact, meaningful times.
- Sensations & Scents
- A sudden temperature change, chills, or tingling without a physical cause.
- Smelling a fragrance (perfume, flowers, smoke, and food) tied to a loved one.
- Inner Knowing
- A sudden download of thought or solution you weren’t thinking about.
- A sense of being guided to turn left instead of right — and discovering why later.
- Symbolic Coincidences
- Seeing their favorite hobby, color, or item in unexpected places.
- Hearing their name in conversation, TV, or radio without context.
How to tell it’s a sign and not coincidence:
- It comes with a shift in energy — a feeling of love, peace, or emotional connection.
- It’s often timely — showing up right after you’ve thought of them or asked for confirmation.
- It happens more than once in a short period.
