Thank you for sharing your experience Gracey & Vespa68 (Nice picture Gracey)
I worked in circle for a number of years on a weekly basis, circle would contain around 50ish sitters. Often the circle would change as new people came in and some would leave which affected the vibration, this is where I would be guided to see where the link was being dropped.
Giving off readings was like second nature, the amazement on sitters faces became normality, yet I found myself at times wondering why they were amazed? It was when reading became popular the head medium was pushing more readings from me, I was younger at the time, I felt uncomfortable because I felt it became more of a performance than the true nature as I wished to read for.
After a year I left here and found myself at an established spiritualist church on platform giving off readings. This was an excellent place and respected spirit and the connections being picked up. This was where I experienced my first spirit shadowing; I was excited to witness this.
An old lady who was a very experienced medium sort of took me under her wing and brought me on greatly in my development,(She has passed away and gone home from her home in this life sometime ago now) in turn I ended up teaching others to develop their own psychic and medium connections.. Platform was a common event in the end.
One evening a week I would read from tarot, I was surprised as to how popular this was, a few sitters would be in another room and each one would enter after each other for a reading. I felt a real connection with my deck as if it was in tune with me; the energy flow was in line with how I read. They are still with me, safely cloth wrapped away with respect.
I tend not to read as much these days, I know the connection is always there and know how to turn it on and off. I tune in sometimes in a room of people and pick up but tend not to share it.
As with everything in life we move on to enrich our lives and experience new things, looking back I am glad I don’t read as often as I did, I felt ready to move on.
One significant thing though I would say that made the decision for me to move on was the day I found myself questioning where I was at and what I was doing, I internally stood back and looking from the bigger scheme of things and said “ What’s the point of all this? How are these people truly benefiting in the bigger scheme of their life and the path they follow? What is it that I unconsciously need from reading each week?”
Amongst other reasons for people seeking guidance and connection through readings I understand the need to seek loved one’s that have passed over, the grieving process that draws one to seek the other passed away from this life, in some way to help ease the pain and leave the emptiness of a home without their presence.
The contentment, peace and relief that sitters go through when something is validated to them regarding their loved ones and to know that they have crossed over to a wonderful home, safe and happy.
Others come to find proof that there is life after death, others have a complete fear of dying and looks towards a connection in turn helping their anxiety about death.
For whatever the reasons, there is always a need for the purpose reading offers. If that means easing the pain for a while of the sitter is well worth the time given. Eventually the sitter will exhaust this seeking to seek other forms of assistance towards their internal turmoil. That’s Life.
If I had to offer one piece of advice for anyone wishing to read it would be to learn to first get your own ego out of the way,period! this can be one of the main factors affecting a connection. Also remember that the ego itself is seeking its existence, it doesn't know to where it came from. Hence the seeking and the places you may find yourself in.
"You are simply a channel for the sitter, read with all the love and compassion in your heart, the ego must be silent"
I believe I have grown much more by moving away from a mediumship season to experience a more profound enrichment and awareness of the bigger scheme of life. Exploring truth leads to exploring questions most may avoid or find uncomfortable, it challenges the place and reasons where we all currently reside.
As in all things, once we become filled with that season, the need and purpose if filled, we move on to further growth. The post I started was to explore the possibility of this connection based on the spiritual view of the oneness, consciousness that we all are in turn connecting into the mind of another. A discerning of what is psychic, spirit and mind connections or even ascended guide of light.
