Communication With Spirit

 

 

In other articles such as Developing Your Connection and Effective Meditation, we have discussed communicating with Spirit. Many people are unsure of how communication happens and what to expect. We hope to clarify this area with this article.

 

Learning to allow communication has been dealt with in the two articles mentioned above so will not be repeated here. However, we do feel it is important to explain a little more about the quality of communication.

There are many Mediums in the world who act as intermediaries between earth and the Spirit World. They usually train in some way to do this work and have differing abilities and levels of experience and therefore differing rates of success.

How do I learn to communicate with Spirit?

When people begin to develop their connection it can take a while to realise that Spirit is communicating with them and that they have become aware of it. This is particularly so if there is no-one to explain what you are experiencing. It is worth mentioning at this point that even if you do belong to a group or are in contact with another person who has more experience than you have, remember that if they are interpreting the communication that you are receiving, they may be wrong. They will be basing that interpretation on their own experiences because it is what they know. However it may not mean the same thing to you.

As communication from Spirit is usually much more subtle than people expect it to be, it may be helpful to list some of the methods Spirit use:

 

 

When will it happen?

 

Any of the above can happen at any time, but you are more likely to notice communication during meditation at first. It is not uncommon to have the sense of being touched for example but it is also the time when Spirit have a better opportunity to help you with things you have asked for help with. Very often as you come out of a meditation you will find that you have clearer thoughts about something that has been troubling you or even that something that you have been struggling to remember is suddenly and clearly there.

All of these things are subtle and it can be easy to miss them if you don't know what to expect. As time goes on you will become more confident in recognising communication from Spirit and this will give much pleasure to both parties.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that communication from Spirit will be clear and bold such as seeing the form of a Spirit in front of them or hearing them speak directly to them as though they were having a conversation with someone in the same room. It takes a tremendous amount of energy for Spirit to do these things and so they very rarely do.

How Mediums work

 

This knowledge can be confusing when you see a Medium standing in front of a group of people giving messages and it seems as though they are receiving these messages as clearly as holding a normal earthly conversation. Mediums work in different ways - some 'see' images through the "third eye" which is sometimes known as the "inner eye", some work by Spirit putting thoughts into their minds and others work with a combination of the two. Whichever way they work they interpret the messages they receive from Spirit.

There are schools where Mediums can learn how to do this and it is as they become more practised and confident with what they do that the impression of a conversation comes across although there will always be a measure of misinterpretation to a greater or lesser degree.

Having a reading with a good Medium brings comfort to many but in the end these readings do very little more than give you proof of Spirit when the Medium tells you something that he or she could not possibly have known. Many people are able to develop the ability to do this for themselves if it is what they wish to do.

There are many good Mediums who are doing a very good job giving proof of Spirit but there are also Mediums who are not as good. Therefore, if a Medium gives you advice that purports to come from Spirit, do not act upon it without checking it with at least one other source, and allow the other Medium(s) to tell you - or not - without prompting. For both your sakes do not mention anything that you have previously been told. If you are thinking of making a life changing decision based upon such advice be very, very careful and remember that Spirit cannot interfere and that ultimately any decision you make must be yours.
