Mediumship - a gift or a learned skill?
Hello everyone,
I just discovered Spiritual Forums by chance (I think....)
It's fantastic to be able to talk to like-minded people. I'm 31 years of age and I'm from Co. Galway, Ireland. I'm interested in all matters of a spiritual nature, especially angels, elementals and mediumship. I'm a big Gordon Smith fan - he gave a demonstration recently in Dublin and it was mind-blowing. I really hope to get to see him again some day. I've often wondered if mediumship is a gift with which you are born or if it's something that any intuitive person of an open heart and mind could learn? I've heard some conflicting answers to this one.
Would be glad to get some opinions...
Lovely to meet you all,
Angels444.

i think its somethin that everyones capable of but few have the "switch"(lac of better term) turned on and society teaches you that stuff is bad so few outside the metaphysical circle care to develop it
lastnight early this mornin to ya i was chattin with people in my school and it was intreastin to say the least(they thought i was high which ive never been) ut i tryied to enable them ta do some simpler healing methods but they mostly thought i was crazy (one commented on my beein a 50 year old artist that just looks young and its a wee bit true)
anythins possable you just have ta believe

I agree with biyu_wulf I believe that everyone is capable of it, but you have to be open to it and be able to 'relax' with it. Of course, I believe this applies mostly to those of us who have blocked the ability for most of our lives. I say 'relax' with it because if you try too hard it's not going to work. I'm in the process of learning about this myself & I know for a fact that the harder I try the more frustrated I get. And once you find yourself learning...it seems to come in spurts, or at least that's how it's been for me so far. I'll have serveral 'lightbulb moments' in quick succession and then nothing substantial will happen for a while.

daisy, I believe you're right. A few years ago just the thought of this sort of thing was enough to give me nightmares. Fear is a very important factor.

I think my son may be very sensitive, he sleeps with the lamp on in his room. He just freaks out if I turn the light off completely.

so glad someone else was doing this... Up until this year, I would have to have a trail of lights going on if I went up or down the stairs. In the dark everything seems to come alive about me. I sense everything and used to jump at shadows, rustles and whispers. As a kid I was fearless and would stomp around the dark, I'd say nite to my friend bartholemew who lived in the airing cupboard in my room. My mum thought he was an invisible friend... but he was a ghost and such a nice one, I left him behind when I reached 12 and moved house. My new room felt lonely, and that new house didn't have any guests, it was just us, and that was fine.
My new home here in Dorset is definately haunted, or I am attracting beings to it. There are a couple of dark beings who lurk on the edge of things, and for a second they scare me. Then I just say 'those who mean us harm here are not welcome so please leave us'. They go. But there is a negative feeling on my stairwell, and in the dark I used to run past it, in a right panic. Now I deliberately walk slowly through it and protect myself with a white light and send out lots of love to it. I still feel scared but don't know if I should banish it or try to understand it, as I feel it is a soul who wants us there, but is very sad in themselves and means us no harm. I think they are stuck.
But night is the time when folk visit me, in dreams, shadows, or even sitting on the bed or joining me in the bathroom. They mean no harm and I never feel alone.
My other half and step son and guests have said, 'this house is noisy at night, it's like charring cross station on your landing..' that is odd cos we are all in bed.

What an interesting post. I have been told I have pyshic abilities but whether I am at the learning stage,I haven't got a clue.
I dream of spirit but cannot receive messages for other people,I hear voices now and again but only words for me.
I sense spirit,feel they are near me.
That's about it!
