Connecting with Spirit: Understanding Mediumship

· Blog Articles

In this short post, we explore what it means to connect with the spirit world. We breifly discuss the various types of mediums, their unique abilities, and how they serve as bridges between the physical and spiritual realms, providing comfort and closure to those seeking connection with their loved ones and wisdom teachings to those seeking more than simply evidence.

All mediums enter an 'altered state' of consciousness when connecting to the higher dimensions. This shift involves a change of focus, away from their normal everyday experience, towards the spirit world and those with whom they link - most notably their guides and helpers.

There is no separate creator - we are all that. When this understanding is recognised, it is transformative to the extent that life changes in that moment.
