Mediums can communicate with beings and energies in other dimensions, including the spirits of deceased people. They are often called to help by people who have unresolved issues with their deceased loved ones. The mediums use palmistry, psychometrics, tarot reading or crystal balls to facilitate communication with other dimensions. This article contains information on what it means to be a medium, how to improve psychic abilities, and how to put your skills at the service of others, be they people or spirits.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Understand if you are good at becoming a medium
Step 1. Try to understand what it means to be a medium
Mediums perceive spirits dwelling in other dimensions using one or more of the following abilities:
- Clairvoyance. Clairvoyants can see spirits, auras, objects, places that are not perceptible to others and places they have never been to. Dead people can manifest themselves to the clairvoyant through visions that are perceived through their third eye, unlike the average person who is too weak to use it.
- Clairaudience. Clair-hearing mediums can listen to messages coming from the "other side", both physically and psychically. They are able to communicate with spirits that are thousands of miles away, or in another dimension.
- Precognition. The medium has experiences of psychic communication through taste, smell and touch. He may feel the pain or pleasure of the spirits he is communicating with or of another person in the same room.
Step 2. Assess the level of psychic ability
Each of us has a certain amount of psychic abilities, which help us sense the feelings of others and connect them with our spiritual side. Read the following questions to understand your psychic skill level:
- Are you a natural medium? Some people begin to have visions, hearing messages, or strongly perceive the presence of spirits at a young age. They don't necessarily understand what they are going through until they get old. Natural mediumship is extremely rare.
- Are you clairvoyant, clairvoyant or do you have sensory perceptions? Perhaps you feel ready to develop the necessary skills in one of these areas. You are sensitive or receptive to feelings, emotions and communications from others. You have had experiences that can be considered paranormal.
- Are you interested in becoming a medium, but have never had a paranormal experience? You can work on certain skills by exercising your psychic "muscles". With a little practice, you will be able to open and strengthen your third eye.
Step 3. Research psychic mediumship
One of the most effective ways to find out if you have the skills to become a psychic medium is to read reports written by other mediums. Find out if you recognize yourself in their stories and experiences. Learn as much as possible about the history and practice of mediumship.
- Read books on psychic mediums, and go to see the shows concerning these themes, to understand the path that these mediums have taken.
- Confront other mediums based on your paranormal experiences.
- Watch out for charlatans.
Method 2 of 3: Develop your Psychic Skills
Step 1. Try to gain awareness
To be a medium one must be open to communication with the "beyond". Try the following methods to increase your awareness and facilitate the opening of the third eye:
- Pay attention to your intuition. Try to remember your dreams. Reflect on the unusual feelings they cause you. Try to interpret all the energies that affect your day.
- Spend time alone every morning. After waking up, before starting the day, take some time to let your thoughts and emotions flow, without controlling them. Open your mind to the possibility of receiving communications from the energies around you.
- Try free writing. Write down everything that comes into your mind without judging or changing the words. After a couple of hours, reread what you wrote; these types of messages will almost never be clear and by transcribing them you may understand them more easily.
Step 2. Try to actively communicate with spirits
A good method would be to find a group of mediums and attend their meetings. So you will learn the basics. Once you understand the process, try it yourself, or invite others to join you.
- Choose a quiet room in the house. Create the right atmosphere with soft lighting. Candles can help create the right environment.
- Say a prayer inviting the spirits to join the mediumistic circle.
- Know when the spirit or spirits show up. Be prepared to receive images, words, feelings, smells, whatever the spirits want to communicate.
- Ask the spirit to identify itself. When you get a response, ask for confirmation out loud. Keep communicating by asking questions and trying to get answers.
- In this first phase, the effect of the communication may seem uncontrolled to you, you may be afraid or feel pain. As you improve your skills, you will be able to control communication with the "afterlife".
Step 3. Consider enrolling in a psychic mediumship seminar or course
Spiritual centers or specialized bookstores offer great educational resources in this field. Research online, attend conferences and seminars to improve.
Method 3 of 3: Share Your Psychic Skills with Others
Step 1. Offer your help to those who need to communicate with a deceased
If you have a friend, family member, or acquaintance grieving the loss of someone, propose using your skills to help them.
- During the session, remember not to ask too many questions of the person you are helping. A good medium never asks the client for too many details, such as the name of the deceased, as this would invalidate the credibility of the session. It is the task of the medium to have his name, his life profession, the date of birth, a physical description, and so on, to be told by the spirit.
- Remember that a séance is a great responsibility. It can cause great emotions to all parties involved.
Step 2. Consider starting a business
Once you have honed your skills you may choose to start a career as a medium. You could build a website to promote your services. Set up a room in your home or rent a space to use as a study.
- Make sure you register your small business according to local laws.
- Ask other mediums for advice on the methods that have worked for them and the fees they make for each session.
- Attend meetings and conferences. Print business cards to distribute on these occasions, or register to set up your stand.
