<\/p>\nWhen people think of Mediums they usually visualise people wearing long flowing gowns in a s\u00e9ance, sitting around a table holding hands with the people they are doing a reading for.\u00a0Mediums are just ordinary people who usually have everyday jobs and families.<\/p>\n
A Medium is a link between this world and the spirit world, and everybody alive has psychic capabilities of some kind which can be a precursor to mediumship. There are a number of forms of Mediumship.<\/p>\n
Mediumship can be divided into two types, Mental Mediumship and Physical Mediumship. Mental Mediumship can be split into three more categories: <\/p>\n
Mental Mediumship uses our Psychic senses for the communication between the two worlds, whereas Physical Mediumship\u00a0endeavours to have those in the spirit world communicate through some Physical means.<\/p>\n
Clairvoyance<\/strong><\/p>\n A person who is Clairvoyant can see Spirits.\u00a0 This usually means they see the person communicating in their minds eye, which can be in the form of a picture or like watching a television in your head.\u00a0 Some Mediums can see Spirits with their Physical eyes as if there is another person in the same room as themselves.\u00a0 The Medium will then describe what they see to whoever is having a reading.\u00a0 It is not always people that Mediums see, it can also be animals or even objects and symbols.\u00a0 Some objects will be given to the Medium to be interpreted symbolically.<\/p>\n Clairaudience<\/strong><\/p>\n With this form of Mediumship the person hears the spirit communicating with them.\u00a0 Again this can be voices in the Mediums head or thoughts running through the mind.\u00a0 Sometimes a Medium will actually hear someone talking to them with their physical ears.\u00a0 The medium will not only “hear” voices but can also be given music or singing.<\/p>\n Clairsentience<\/strong><\/p>\n This in some schools of Mediumship is the most common form and experienced very often by people just beginning to understand the gift that they have.\u00a0 This type of Mediumship takes the form of the Medium sensing a spirit presence, usually through feelings.\u00a0 Mediums often feel as if they are being touched, feelings of cold or slight breezes wafting past them.\u00a0 Sometimes they can have the feeling of cobwebs on their face or can even smell fragrances associated with the spirit presence of their time on earth.<\/p>\n Physical Mediumship is not as common today as it was in Victorian times and the early twentieth century.\u00a0 The types of Physical phenomenon usually encountered are Transfiguration, Ectoplasm, “Voice Trumpets”, Materialisation and Apports.<\/p>\n The \u00a0following paper makes interesting reading for anyone wishing to explore this topic further:<\/p>\n A GUIDE TO MEDIUMSHIP AND PSYCHICAL UNFOLDMENT BY E.

Mediums will use one or more of these forms of communication in order to convey messages from the spirit world.<\/p>\n
