Types of Mediumship

  There are a number of different forms of Mediumship but mainly these can be divided into two types, Mental Mediumship and Physical Mediumship. MENTAL MEDIUMSHIP Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience. Mental Mediumship uses mediumistic abilities for communication between the two worlds. The Three different types of Mental Mediumship are: Clairvoyance: A person who is Clairvoyant can see Spirit. This usually means they see the person communicating in their minds eye, which can be in the form of a picture in the mind's eye or like watching a television screen. Some Mediums can see Spirits with their Physical eyes as if there is another person in the same room as themselves. The Medium will then describe what they see to whoever the spirit is communicating with. It is not always people that Mediums see sometimes it can also be animals or even objects and symbols. Some objects will be given to the Medium to be interpreted symbolically. Clairaudience: With this form of Mediumship the person hears the spirit communicating with them. Again this can be voices in the Mediums head or thoughts running through the mind. Sometimes a Medium will actually hear someone talking to them with their physical ears. The medium will not only "hear" voices but can also be given music or singing. Clairsentience: This type of Mediumship is the most common form and experienced very often by people just beginning to understand the gift that they have. This type of Mediumship takes the form of the Medium sensing a spirit presence, usually through feelings. Mediums often feel as if they are being touched, feelings of cold or slight breezes wafting past them. 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. Mediums will use one or more of these forms of communication in order to convey messages from the spirit world. PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP Physical Mediumship is not as common today as it was in Victorian times and the early twentieth century. The types of Physical phenomenon usually encountered are Transfiguration, Ectoplasm, Voice Trumpets, Materialisation and Apports. . Physical mediumship really took off in the mid 1800's up to the 1960's, although it is still practiced today. However, it should only be practised in properly controlled environments with the correct supervision and safeguards in place to ensure the safety of the medium. This form of mediumship usually takes more time and patience to practice. The conditions have to be right for spirit to appear in whatever form. The energy used by spirit is a lot greater in this form of communication than with mental mediumship.
