I feel that mediumship helps people on many levels, Comfort / Joy  just by hearing from a loved one, reassurance, inner healing, guidance, curiosity or even just being skeptical. Everyone has there own reasons, whatever their circumstances. I pass on my information and leave it down to the recipents to make there own mind. I feel its not upto me to prove anything as after all I am a channel for spirit.

Mediums can certainly be challanged and experience many things upon this pathway, (as well as others) and I am often asked why? I feel it's down to enhancing our soul growth, but to experience things that will teach us and helps us be better people hear in the earthly life too.

All this and much more can increase our awareness, sensitivity, intregerty, and understanding which can help us to help others. The many years as working in the emergency services has exposed me to people from all walks of life, from minor problems, social needs, someone needing a smile and someone to talk to, to near death experiences,. dying, from illness, Sudden loss, trauma.

Sometimes delaing with the loved ones left behind can be the hardest part of it, but im fortunate to understand and feel that I am in the right place at the right time to help on those occasions to help , by understanding my purpose by being in the spiritual light.

It's with these experiences I feel it helps me to be a better medium and spirit are able to use some of this exposure in addressing messages, to make me a better communicator.

When I work with spirit  I enter into a slightly altered state of consciousness, still conscious, which allows the spirit  to "enter into my energy/aura " and work with myself, the medium. I guess it'slike Wi-Fi you know it's exsists yet can't see it, although with the right paring devices you can connect to recieve signals to obtain information etc.

The messages that come through its like a sieving process, having to decipher the message whilst passing it on, confirming with the recipient. The speed at which the information comes varies from medium to medium, for myself I feel It's like looking at cars on a motorway, looking at people in the car, describing them, the type of car, the colour and trying to give all this information from the communicator across, but with evidence specific to the recipient. It's a process that is developed over time with dedication and discipline.

Mediums / Psychics all have there own ways of working, but fundamentally it can be split into three particular elements for example: Clairvoyance, Clairsentience and Clairaudience.

Clairvoyance:- This is where sprit appear as a vision in the third eye and is the seeing element. I describe this in a way of looking at your reflection in a window panel, you cant see all physically but can see the transparent outline giving that impression, there are also pictures given which can be represented as literal or symbolic meaning.

Clairsentience:- This is where spirit impress there emotions, feelings, any illnesses etc on the medium by stimulating the energy and particular the solar plexus, quite often we get the "the gut instinct".

Clairaudience:- is hearing spirit, but in the mind, you don’t literally hear but hearing is like listening the mind, like being very quite and still. Like thoughts coming in for example.

When I work with spirit I feel I enter into a slightly altered state of consciousness which allows the spirit entities to enter and work with all the sense.

This is a very brief description given from my own learning, experience and inspiration from my guides and helpers. Others may feel differently and express a different opinion.
