Here we've got something interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychic_abilities So, to me, there could be mediums that haven't developed many other psychic abilities, and psychic people that developed many but not mediumship. Many of them require some practice, but mediumship doesn't (very much). |

As I pointed out earlier, those I call sensitives or psychics won't necessarily develop into being mediums. "Mediums are born and not made." Quote:
Those mediums who say they have never needed to learn or practise are exceedingly fortunate but alternatively they may be over-confident they are 'performing' at their highest level. It's their personal judgement about that but others may view their delivery less generously. |

I found your reference to be interesting. The title of the reference is List of psychic abilities. According to that List, one of the abilities of a Psychic is ..... Mediumship. |

However ... I tend to think that there is a bit more to it, because some psychic abilities can be developed at the heart level, but mediumship, to me, occurs at the 3rd eye. Quote:
"Accomplishments may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi". I can testify that developing samadhi revealed psychic abilities for me, including the ability to channel (living) people and sense spirits. Have I improved them or have I just recovered what I had at birth, I don't know. |

The first place I have found of the usage of that expression is by Billy Roberts in his book "Psychology of a Medium: And A Look At The Paranormal And The World Of Mediums" which apparently was published less then 10 years ago. From what Guillaume previously wrote, It appears Mediums are a subset of Psychics. |
Quote:
The problem seems based off of definitions. I use what appears to be how the word Medium was first used with this connotation. There are some others that use the word like I do and then there are others that use the word Medium with a different meaning. As for those that have changed the definition of the word Medium, if they can explain the reason for doing that, it might reduce the friction it has caused created. |

I won't pretend I understand any of the above but it's heartening you have found it helpful. I don't understand what you mean by channeling living peoplel but I recognise what you mean when you say you sense spirits - that's what I mean when I refer to 'a sensitive'. |

In the Eastern traditions, the development of samadhi (single point concentration) comes with the development of psychic abilities. It just happens, it has been described in sutras, commented etc etc, and anyone can do it (maybe not in this life, but the next or the next). So psychic abilities are nothing supernatural, they are not a gift, they are not a belief, they develop naturally if we work out our attention and energy. |
