What is a Medium

Those who are able to tune into the faster vibrations of the
spirit body after death, either in a physical or mental way, are
called sensitives or mediums
The middleman or mediator, a person who goes between the
spiritual and physical worlds (i.e.; tuning into a radio station)

All mediums are psychic, not all psychics are mediums

What is a Medium

Psychic

This image shows visually how the energy of mediumship works. The medium makes a psychic
connection with the audience. Then, in combination with her own power, raises her vibration to
communicate with those in the spirit world (who slow down their vibration to match the frequency of the
medium). Off to the right is her gnome guide, lining up the other spirits who wish to come through. The
culmination of this event is referred to as “sitting in the power of spirit” by those who practice mediumship
in the spiritualist churches of the U.K. (Image originally presented by Martin Twycross).


Slide 9

Medium Types

 Mental Medium – Communicates without having to be in a
deep state of trance and usually does not demonstrate any
outward phenomena
 Physical Medium – Can produce tangible sensory phenomena.
This is objective mediumship. During a demonstration of
physical mediumship, the loved one can appear or partially
appear, speak in disconnected voice, produce ectoplasm, etc.


Slide 10

Medium Types

Shots of ectoplasm … and being slimed.


Slide 11

Medium Types
 Direct Voice & Physical
Medium – Can produce Spirit
voices without having to use
their own vocal apparatus. It is
the Spirit control (and others)
who, with the aid of ectoplasm,
can build a “voice box” or horn
which the sounds come through


Slide 12

Medium Types

 Levitation Medium – People
levitated with the aid of the
Spirit control in front of many
reliable witnesses


Slide 13

Medium Types

 Trance Medium – Goes into a
light to deep trance state and
their Spirit control or guide will
often speak through them. A
trance medium will often, like a
physical medium, vacate their
body. This takes many years of
development to do safely.


Slide 14

Development Circle

The purpose of a Development Circle is to assist like-minded
people in developing their natural psychic abilities and
connections to the spiritual realm. The circle is to stimulate
development and challenge the sitters to step beyond their
current limitations.
Spirit world vibrates at a much higher frequency than our world.
Therefore, the participants of a circle must increase their individual
vibrations in order to integrate the thoughts, feelings, words and
sights of spirit beings.
