Amongst the mediumship community, there is a huge debate about how to connect to the dead people (spirit) and disconnect from them after the communication.
I am frequently found on forums, chatting with other mediums and getting across my unpopular belief that all their rituals and elaborate ways of connecting with and showing respect to those in Spirit ( the dead) are just a load of rubbish!. I am not popular for it and have been kicked off one forum in the UK for exactly that. I’ve been called everything from a worshiper of the “dark side” to someone who simply has no respect for my gift. But, this kilt wearing, ginger-bearded medium can’t help himself , taunting such people is good sport!
The reason all this has come up is because generally people find it difficult speaking to and hearing from the dead. This is obvious because we rely almost totally upon our five physical senses and only use our intuition in times when we can’t use the others and then we tend not to trust it anyway. So, when people want to speak to the dead, they create a ritual or a process around what they do because it works for them. Great, good for them. I have no problem with that, unless they tell everyone else that this is the only way to do it and they go around preaching it. Then I feel the need to shout out loud.
Speaking to dead people is as normal for me as speaking with you. On a daily basis I have some kind of conversation with the dead, whether it is for a client or just because someone comes through and wants to be heard. When I “tune in” to the spirit world, I simply think about them, consider it like this; you have a cell phone and I have your number, even though you are not in the same room as me, I can call you on your cell and speak to you. When our conversation is over, we both hang up and carry on with whatever we were doing. The same is true for when a dead person wants to contact me, they have my cell number and call me up . . . fortunately I have caller display and can decide whether to take the call or not . It’s a bit cheeky, I know but I don’t think you would want to answer your cell phone at 01.00 in the morning when you are trying to get to sleep either!
I know in real life, it is not as simple as picking up a phone and speaking with your dead Grandmother, it takes dedication and a lot of practice but the principal is the same and in the end it comes down to making it as easy as we want to. To me, the debate about how to contact the dead and how to switch off afterwards is just a way of saying to each other, I’m not yet happy to loose the stabilizers on my bike. Although everyone goes through the same type of learning process, a great number of people never let go of their stabilizers, in fact they make them bigger and bigger, and more elaborate!
My wife and I put a great deal of work into what I do and spend a lot of time doing what we can to improve it. We go out of our way to try and make the whole process as simple, easy and natural as possible so as to not exclude those people that might be interested in hearing from their dead friends and relatives.
So, getting easily turned on is part of the long but steep learning process and as with all things, it’s simply a matter of practicing, pushing the boundaries and being taken out of your comfort zone.
