What is a Mediumship Reading or Spiritual Reading? How does it work?

Going back to my early days, when I was getting involved in the spiritualist circles, in and around Auckland NZ, the spiritual readings we were doing were very 'quick fire approach', to get us all warmed up (we met as a group of 12 or more some nights), we would pair off and focus on reading each other.

Finding a spot that was away from the rest of the group, 2 of us paired off, sitting face to face in chairs opposite each other to perform the readings. Very intimate. We had 5 mins-10 mins to sit with the person receiving the reading and then the receiver would do a reading in return for 5-10 min. We would work to see spirit around the sitter, describe the spirit/s to the sitter and deliver the message/s given from spirit.

This was always a beautiful exchange of energy between the 2 sitters and spirit, there were often tears, often laughter and always knowledge experienced.

We learnt to look for spirit around the person. Looking for flashes or visions of anyone that wants to come through. In the quiet room with others doing the same, is a safe haven and all protection was given for spirit to proceed. Working with love, white light and pure intention, as always.

We would look for spirit, engage with spirit by asking their name, where were you born or when where you born/passed, asking for more info, trying to see what they might give, it may be a scene or old memory, it may be dates of significance, a favourite place or numbers of significance around the sitter, there is always something that 'pops up', Hair colour, eyeware, scents, food types, favourite colours, we would focus right in on what the spirit was showing us and pass on the connection.

The key is to sort through the visions and faces that you may see and pass the information directly on to the sitter even if the names and places seem silly, it is about the sitter and spirit, you become the medium. Clearing the mind with meditation before readings will help to find more clarity within a reading as you know what you are being influenced with is more likely to be spirit, rather than your own thoughts.

Q: How does it all work? How does it all 'actually work'? ...

For me personally? It can be easy to do most days. I started looking for spirit and sharing spiritual knowledge at a young age, My Mother was particularly supportive and noticed I had a verbal skillset that was slightly different, as I tended to speak to 'nobody' in the room, we had several regular spirit visitors, I apparently named them as I was growing up, however, that does not stop a reader at any age from becoming a confident and able reader/medium. Age is no barrier with spirit and learning about spiritualist techniques can be a very rewarding experience within any age group.

Q: Did you find the sitter was receptive and was the message received well in the early days of doing readings in spiritual circles?

Yes! most readings were well received, as we were trying our best to find spirit and pass on a message the reception was tuned right in to receive. A mindset of calm and relaxed approach helped me at the start. There is no pressure in a group to 'succeed or fail' the spiritualist groups are for sharing and supportive practices.
