MENTAL, TRANCE & HEALING MEDIUMSHIP
Mental Mediumship
Mental Mediumship is when the medium receives information from those in Spirit through their mind. Those in spirit are able to transmit thoughts, images, feelings, etc. to the mind of the medium. The medium then interprets or expresses this communication, for example verbally, through the written word, through art or any other method.
Trance Mediumship
Trance Mediumship is when the medium is in an "altered state of consciousness" and those in spirit draw closer into their energy influencing thoughts etc. It should be a beautiful, blissful experience. Often the medium will speak under this influence of spirit, (this is called "inspired speech") however this is not necessary. Trance mediumship can produce abilities such as inpired writing, art, and creativity or simply a close, empowering Spiritual connection and feeling of love and peace. At times, given apprpropriate conditions, overshadowing may be witnessed. This is when the medium's energy and Spirits energy overlap slightly, enough to see slight changes around the medium or over his or her face, hands etc. (overshadowing is not to be confused with transfiguration which is where the mediums face ids completely replaced by a Spirit's features as they were on earth. This is achieved by the production of a porcelain type mask which is built over the face of the medium and is a remarkable type of phenomena to witness. Transfiguration is physical phenomena and is very rare. Many mediums nowadays state that they produce transfiguration when it is actually slight overshadowing of energy if anything at all).
The point of Trance Mediumship is that the medium removes him/herself from the proceedings going into a deeper altered state of consciousness so that the communication from those in Spirit can be purer and not influenced so much by the medium. Even during trance type communication there is usually a certain percentage of the mediums influence or reaction there. The deeper the trance state, the less likely this interference. This is something that takes time., patience and dediction to develop but allows for beautiful experience. The Andersons, at the Freeodm of Spirit Centre, provide course on the subject of Trance Mediumship and their course provokes feelings of bliss which students never forget. It's the true essence of Spirit and Spiritual development and the feelings of love experienced are astounding.
Healing Mediumship
Healing Mediumship is termed so due to the fact that the healing journey or experience is influenced by those in Spirit. Energy is said to flow from a higher source, through the healing medium to the person receiving the healing. The person channelling the healing energy is the person in the middle, as is a medium.
This is done with energy used only for this purpose. The intention is for the recipient's highest good. Healing is often given different titles and this often is dependent on country or culture or era.
Please note that it is strongly advised that mediumship of any kind should only be practiced in a safe environment and under the proper guidance of those who know the subject and have a clear awareness of energy. Safety is paramount and everything should be done in a responsible manner. All communication with those in Spirit should always be done with love and in harmonious conditions.
