Lessons Learned From Evidential Mediumship

I recently completed a year-long course in evidential mediumship, and I have been reflecting on the most impactful lessons and insights from this transformative journey.

The experience deepened my understanding of the medium’s role in bringing comfort and healing to those experiencing intense grief. It was a powerful reminder of how a well-done channeled reading can uplift, comfort, and inspire clients by affirming that life and love continue beyond the veil.

Evidential mediumship is a spiritual practice in which a spiritual medium channels specific, verifiable information to prove the continued existence of a loved one after physical death.

The practice of evidential mediumship as we know it today has its roots in the spiritualist movement of the 19th century, which sought to bridge the gap between the living and the spirit world through structured communication.

But its origins go back to ancient times, as cultures around the world have always sought to connect with the spirit realm through spiritual intermediaries.

From shamans and soothayer to the seers and oracle of ancient civilizations, humanity has always reached beyond the physical realm for guidance, wisdom, and comfort. Evidential mediumship continues this timeless tradition, refined through modern practices to meet contemporary needs.

Evidential mediumship is also known as psychic mediumship or mental mediumship, which emphasizes the fact that the process involves the medium perceiving information as mental impressions in order to convey messages from spirit.

In contrast, physical mediumship involves the physical manifestation of spirit and related phenomena, while trance mediumship lies somewhere in between, where the medium enters a deep, altered state of consciousness that allows spirit to speak directly through them. In the trance state, the medium or channeler may have little to no awareness of the messages being delivered, as the spirit takes partial control of their voice or body to communicate.

While grief and loss are universal experiences, psychic mediumship offers a beacon of hope and healing. It provides a means for individuals to reconnect with their loved ones and gain the assurance that bonds of love transcend physical separation. Beyond its personal impact, this practice reminds us of the interconnectedness of all life and the enduring nature of the human spirit.

In our modern world, where grief and loss are universal experiences, it offers a beacon of hope and healing. It provides a means for us to reconnect with our loved ones and gain the assurance that the bonds of love transcend physical separation. Beyond its personal impact, this practice reminds us of the interconnectedness of all life and the enduring nature of consciousness.

Here are some of the key insights I have gained from this past year of training:

The Healing Power Of Mediumship

Mediums not only serve the living, but also assist those in the afterlife struggling to connect with their grieving loved ones. This is especially important for those who have transitioned suddenly, leaving behind unresolved emotions or unfinished conversations. When a medium provides clear, specific messages, it can lead to profound healing for family and friends. For the bereaved it offers comfort and reassurance that love transcends physical existence.

The Importance Of Breath

Another key takeaway from this course was the emphasis on breath. Learning to harness the power of conscious breathing has changed the way I approach all of my work. Conscious breathwork facilitates a shift to a higher level of awareness, allowing for a stronger connection to spirit. This simple yet powerful tool has opened my eyes to the broader significance of maintaining physical and energetic harmony in my practice.

Seasonal Rhythms And Well-Being

The course also highlighted the importance of understanding our own bodily rhythms. As psychics and mediums, our ability to work effectively can be affected by seasonal changes and certain times of the year. Equally important is our mental, physical and emotional well-being. These factors directly affect our ability to connect with the spirit realm and provide meaningful guidance to those who seek our help.

Out-of-Body Empowerment

It was fascinating to hear stories from both mentors and fellow students about their out-of-body experiences, astral projection and glimpses of the afterlife. Many shared how these profound moments removed their fear of crossing over to the other side. These experiences seemed to instill a deep sense of peace and anticipation for what lies beyond, strengthening their resolve to serve the spirit world with love and dedication.

Developing Mediumship Skills

One of the most valuable takeaways from this journey is that everyone has the potential to connect with their loved ones in spirit. While some people have a natural ability from an early age, others seek mentorship to hone their skills or expand their craft. This course challenged us to step out of our comfort zones, often requiring us to perform impromptu readings for classmates or mentors. These exercises emphasized the importance of putting ego aside and establishing a pure, energetic connection with spirit.

The Challenges And Rewards

We have had the privilege of observing renowned evidential mediums doing gallery readings around the world. Their ability to move people to both laughter and tears exemplifies the profound impact of this work. Whether on a public platform or in a private reading, serving the spirit world is both rewarding and challenging. Many psychics and mediums go through significant personal trials and traumas – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – that can deepen their empathy and enhance their ability to bring comfort to others.

Through this course, I’ve come to understand that the challenges that psychics and mediums face are part of their soul’s pre-determined plan. These trials serve to prepare us for our work and to cultivate the empathy necessary to support those in need. This path requires constant spiritual growth and personal development and a willingness to move beyond one’s comfort zones.

To honor this calling, I will continue to challenge myself to “get out of my own way.” The spirit realm deserves our best efforts, and with each reading I am reminded of the privilege it is to serve both the living and those on the other side.
