What is Trance Mediumship? Think Whoopi in Ghost...

There are perks to attending psychic and energy healing schools. One of my favorites is swapping sessions with my classmates. We like to meet for dinner at a particular friend's house and then give each other angel readings. It is fun. Our Christmas party this year was no exception. We had a real treat when one of my classmates gave us a demonstration of trance-mediumship. I had never seen a trance reading and was expecting it to be a little bit spooky. Not exactly. Our classmate's guide is a soft-spoken elder gentleman that comes across as being Asian. His presence is reassuring and the advice is practical. That said, there was a moment at the beginning of the session where a candle started flickering - you could say it threw sparks loudly. 

So what is trance-mediumship? 

Trance is similar to the last scene in the movie Ghost, where Patrick Swayze's character talks to his wife (Demi More) with Whoopi Goldberg's as an intermediary. Essentially he speaks through her. In the movies it looks dramatic; the real life scene is calm, relaxed and quiet. The lights were off though, and we did have some mad flickering candles. Our classmate sat quietly and let's his guide speak through him. The audience asks questions and waits for the answer. Pretty accurate; though the medium's guide won't know the background so you have to explain a bit more than you would to your own guides. I'm not sure how to describe it; it was different. Though I will probably never feel comfortable doing trance myself; seeing it live was a very interesting experience. 

I'll leave you with one of the funnier, non-spooky scenes from Ghost!

My 1st Psychic Development Class - 10 Years Ago!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description???    That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived.   We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition .  The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc.  When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what...

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...
