Mediums – How Does The Mediumship Reading Info Occur?

Mediums are the link between the physical realms and the spirit realms. We all know that mediumship readings can occur face to face or by phone. But there are many myths about just how and why the communications between the living and the dead occur. To really understand this we need to go back in history, and we can start this fascinating journey not at the very roots of spirit communication – which go back to when time began – but in the 1800’s.

The Spiritualist Church arose from the spiritualist movement which began in the 1840s in America. The Fox sisters were three sisters from New York who played an important role in the creation of Spiritualism. The three sisters were Leah Fox, Margaret Fox, and Kate Fox. The two younger sisters used "rappings" to convince their much older sister and others that they were communicating with spirits. Their older sister then took charge of them and managed their careers for some time. They all enjoyed success as mediums for many years. The spiritualist religion was then borne out of this.

Spiritualist churches are places of worship for the people of Spiritualism. The Spiritualist service is conducted by a medium. There is an opening prayer, an address, hymns and finally a demonstration of mediumship. Through engaging their intuition, they attempt to contact with the spirits of the dead. In Britain especially, such mediums are trained to produce clear evidence that the spirit contacted is the person they claim it to be before going on to give any "message" from the spirit. Such evidence can be details of where they lived, including addresses, the standard of mediumship varies as it is down to the level of understanding and awareness that the medium has with their spirit guides.

Spirtualists believe that we all die physically & that some aspect of the personality or mind survives this and continues to exist on a spirit plane. Spiritualists use the word Spirit as a plural which describes all minds and entities who have entered into the spirit world. The purpose of the medium is to provide evidence that a human has survived by describing the person to their surviving relatives. The degree of accuracy with which the deceased are described goes some way to convincing the living relatives and friends that the medium has some contact with the spirit. Spiritualists describe this as Survival Evidence and this is what they seek to provide for proof.

A medium will communicate with the spirit realms through thought, there is no language barrier as there is no language. Thoughts don’t have a language. Mediums who pick up thoughts of spirits who have passed over are known as sensitives, with the ability to pick up feelings thoughts and smells from the spirit but not actually see them. A medium or psychic can be more sensitive to the astral dimensions and some mediums can see ghosts more than others. A medium will leanr that different types of symbols in their minds put their by spirit mean different types of things, they are then decoded and given to the client or sitter.
