Hi,

I am looking to talk to and find other spiritual mediums who may be able to help me craft my skill and gift and perhaps help with some questions I have about it.

I hope someone can help. Please PM me if you are one.

I’m not a spiritual medium but it sounds really fascinating.

It is! It’s amazing.

I guess no one here is. Bummer! I really had hoped to meet someone who could relate and help me with it.

Hey g_e,

I seem to have zero psychic abilities BUT I have had three spontaneous telepathic contacts with family members. So maybe it's lying dormant beneath the surface...

Anyway, if no one here can help you on this matter, internet search 'psychic training' or 'spiritual mediumship'. I just did that and, yes, there were many possibilities presented to me.

What sort of questions do you have? I have no extrasensory abilities (had a few ghost encounters, though), but I know someone who does. I can send a few questions her way and get back to you.

Thanks, Mote! HUGS!

Thank you! Though I'd much prefer to be in touch with someone directly and not work through a third party. No offense! I greatly appreciate the offer. I just want to talk with someone privately & directly about my experiences.

I understand. However, due to the personal things I admit here in the shadow of anonymity, I'm not so willing to direct her to this site on the chance that she'd realize that this account belongs to me.

You could check out support/discussion forums for the broader paranormal/spiritual community. I was briefly a member of a site called, iirc, SpiritualForums, which had a few members who were mediums.

Do you mean someone who can talk to the dead or general psychic stuff? I hesitate to share my own experiences because they sound so hokey but my experiences with dead people are all dreams. Dead people that I know will tell me things and no matter how weird it is I relay it to whomever it references. So far its only been friends and family and maybe its coincidence- who knows. As far as psychic abilities I like to say I have really good hunches. I know right away if I like someone or not. I guess maybe that isnt a good thing. I feel like I am able to sense things in other people. I know when people are going to call, I find out secrets. I wish I could explain it but its been that way since I was a young child and my grandma was like this too. The only thing I did do was when I was 18 I bought a set of tarot cards on a whim. I was in some shop and I was compelled to buy them. That whole freshman year I had lines out of my dorm reading them for people and I just taught myself. It got to be too much and after that year I never did it again but it seemed to help me channel it a little. I do not know if that helps and I know it sounds like BS but its just what I have experienced.

Thanks, Sarah! Wow, interesting! I can hear spirits who have passed and talk to them, but I can also talk to angels and have one in particular who helps me. They can speak through me.

Hi. it's great that you are interested and have what appears to be a gift (you are fortunate indeed). But apprenticeship usually occurs one on one. I would be very wary of doing this with someone you don't actually know. Also, steer yourself away from anything that charges for an apprenticeship, lessons, and guidance. As a general rule of thumb the gift is to be shared and never to be used for monetary gain. I read my own cards, sometimes for others but I have never asked for money. Some sort of gift is the universally accepted way to return the favour.

Thank you!

I have to start looking in my own community too. Next step!

I don't feel worthy of this gift. WHY ME? I don't get it. I don't understand why this has happened. I've been asked to help them... the Angels... the ArchAngels. I just don't feel worthy. Not right now. Not how my life is right now. I am a mess. I just don't feel worthy of this at all. I am very much in awe of it all.

Ok that was a very down moment. I have been invited for a reason, or rather, I have been asked to help for a reason. I don't know how I can help or where it's leading to.... perhaps I am meant to speak their words of wisdom and love to help others who are in pain and who need healing and help. I don't know yet. I don't want to feel unworthy.

Some might find what I have to say difficult. But it is hard to find a local friendly community to such a sort of thing especially if you are unsure where to look. So I encourage you to look at this website. Yes, it is geared towards the pagan community but it has a wealth of resources - including listings for local events, groups, individuals, etc. Witches' Voice Inc. - 09 June, 2019 - 8:27:30 AM - there is a section where you can make such a search.

Obtain a copy of your local free newspaper and check the community listings and advertisments. You might just find something there.

Many communities have a local/regional wellness magazine too. There are always ads for such services (though I hate they are user pay). There will also be notifications of events and local groups.

Check your community for shops that are friendly to such things. They can be found by doing a search for 'metaphysical' stores. Many of these places are specifically woman centred.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for all the suggested resources!!!!

I should state: I am still learning how to use this ability. I get interference a lot of the time. To date I have only spoken to my own loved ones who have passed, my husband's brother who passed, and the Angels who are leading and guiding me, particularly one ArchAngel who is my Guide. I am learning the ropes and need to learn how to eliminate the interference. There are other spirits & entities who come in who confuse and distort communications.

Have you surrounded yourself with white light? Imagine a light encircling you it's a light if protection. Only good things can pass through it. Also get sage a burn it around your home it clears out negative energies.

[WishfulThinker66]

Go to one of those Metaphysical shops I mentioned earlier. Have a look about the place paying careful attention to objects and books. What comforts you? What do you find distasteful? What seems attractive? There is a wealth to seek out at such places and the books, cards, and other materials are 'friendly' to a number of practices. For example, a deeply Christian person might be attracted to terms and titles regarding angels rather than Spirit guides and that sort of thing. A woman embarking on something more feminine than traditional patriarchal thinking might find the use of the term goddess more comforting and appealing. And likewise there would be people like wiccans totally comfortable with pentacles, spirits, witches, etc. There are a great deal of similarities amongst all this but many modes of terminology and practise. I started to read cards using a standard 52 card playing deck. I find a softer labeling approach more comfortable for myself. I tend to be drawn to the more simple earth friendly approach to spirituality - including both Shamanism and the occasional women's spirituality book or item.

After discovering what you are comfortable with, what is palatable and in line with the spiritual and religious practices you already have then immerse yourself and learn. Eventually you will come around to the gifts of Creativity, Teaching, and/or the psychic you have to share. You might want to explore just how you wish to share these things. Cards? Palms? Tea leaves? Intuition, etc. There are so many ways you can have to explore and use your psychic nature.

Again, I think you are fortunate. Used wisely this can be an incredibly enriching gift to have. Enjoy your adventure of discovery.

By the way, I am guessing you are an incredibly empathetic person. The two 'gifts' often occur hand in hand.

Yes, I have tried, though I am not good at all at envisioning the white light surrounding me. I can only imagine it happening, vs seeing it in my mind's eye if that makes sense?

We do have sage and burn it periodically to "smudge".

I've read recently though that neither of these fully work (only temporarily) and that you have to actually raise your energetic field (aura) to a higher vibration.

I read that the only way to truly protect oneself and communicate with the other side clearly is when you have a higher vibration. I also read that some mediums can have very porous auras, like those who are empathic, like me.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions!

I have done that kind of exploration.. I definitely know what appeals and what I am most attracted to, which is in fact, a variety!

I am attracted to energy healing crystals and respond physically to them. I am attracted to Angelic type of emblems or symbols and objects as well as Christian and Shaman (I am of a mixed philosophy of my own making). And I am attracted to very earthy types of things too as well as Goddess objects and symbols.... so all of the above! HA. That makes me very eclectic!

And yes, I am an empath as well.

Yes, it is very enriching and quite mysterious as well. I cannot see symbols or pictures like some with clairvoyant ability. I guess I am clairsentient. I can hear the metaphysical and also feel them physically.

I did sign up for a newsletter and e-course that teaches about tuning into the higher realms so you can hear them clearly. Interestingly, one newsletter talks about how you can hear more clearly after a drink of alcohol, which I have found to be true! I sometimes get clear messages after I've had a few. The woman says it gets you into an "Alpha" brain wave state that enables you to hear the paranormal more clearly. I've had one such eye-opening experience after drinking one night, which I will not detail here, but this experience confirmed for me my own questions about the existence of a higher power.

[CANDC]

Some people say there is a higher power, but it is not outside us, but buried in our subconscious waiting for the moment to be discovered.

That brings me that much closer to it in my opinion.
