As our world continues to change and evolve, more people than ever before are opening up to deeper levels of connection with themselves and Spirit. There are a host of reasons why people may want to develop their mediumship abilities, but most people, they will simply KNOW mediumship is their life path. For others, the connection to their mediumship path will become clearer as they build trust with themselves, and Spirit and increase their confidence in their abilities.
For many mediums, their connection with Spirit can begin quite subtly, through the increase of seeing double-digit numbers and synchronicities around them, to flashes of Spirit out of the corner of their eyes. They may even start getting signs and messages from their loved ones who have passed over. These subtle glimpses lead them to open up to deeper levels of mediumship development. This process can prove incredibly challenging as here, we have to build our trust in what is happening and this is where a great mediumship teacher is INVALUABLE. A teacher who will both nurture and challenge the developing medium can speed up the process of opening up to Spirit if the student is open and willing.
For other people, their connection with Spirit can come quite suddenly and strongly, as it did for me. All my life, I’ve experienced signs and synchronicities that pointed towards mediumship, but there was no way this would have made sense to me in my younger years. Spirit has ALWAYS made their presence known to me however, it wasn’t until I had my first spiritual awakening that I was able to start connecting the dots. What started unravelling for me was actually there all along. I just didn’t know it at the time.
So, how did I come out of the mediumship closet? I decided to be me!
I like to think that mostly what you see is what you get with me. I’ll always say what I feel and think. I lead by example. I started engaging in mediumship courses with international teachers and didn’t stop for eight years. When people asked me what I did, I told them. I also had strong boundaries about not being a show pony. I didn’t want to leak my energy by being everything to everyone and being their psychic on tap.
How can you come out of the
mediumship closet?
Be yourself. That’s the simple answer. Don’t try to mould yourself in line with how you ‘think’ a medium should be, dress, think or act. Spirit doesn’t care about these things — they want you to be a voice for them and bring them through in your own unique way. Remain humble.
Get some quality mediumship training under your belt as you come out of the mediumship closet. This will build your confidence in yourself and Spirit, while giving you added credibility within the spiritual field. Great teachers are hard to find and it’s good to learn from a broad range of people. Don’t forget your teachers from the other side also! We often focus so much on the earthly teachers that we forget we are being divinely guided from the other side. Trust in this.
When people ask you what you do, be authentic and honest. Tell them about your experiences and development. Avoid becoming defensive if they challenge you — their behaviour and actions say a lot more about them than they do about you. Remember, it’s not your job to try and convert people to mediumship. When you first start developing, share this with people who ask and get comfortable with it. Being a medium will become your life as it’s really hard to separate your personal life and your mediumship.
Drop hints about your mediumship development on social media. Chances are, some of your friends and family know that you’re spiritually inclined anyway. Bringing people on your journey of mediumship development allows them to enjoy the journey with you. Enjoy the growth and expansion.
Lastly, remember that we often judge ourselves more harshly than others do. We live in a society where mediumship is becoming much more widely accepted.
Embrace your journey with Spirit and enjoy coming out of the mediumship closet. Being a voice for Spirit is a wildly enriching and exciting journey.
