What Is A Spiritualist Medium

What is Spiritualist Medium?

A Spiritualist Medium is a believer in Spiritualism. Modern Spiritualism began in 1848 when sensational spirit communications in Hydesville led to rapid developments throughout America, eventually reaching Europe including Britain. Mediums who demonstrate in Spiritualist Churches are carefully monitored by the Spiritualists National Union (SNU) which helps to ensure that their mediumship is to a high standard.

Mediumship takes two main forms:

Physical Mediums: Physical phenomena is of such a nature that it is usually demonstrated only at private seances. Any person sitting with the medium can hear or see what is happening. By means of raps, audible voices or materialised figures the spirit people convey intimate information about themselves, their recollection of their earthly lives and details of their lives in the spirit world.

Mental Mediums: Mental phenomena is demonstrated through the mind of a medium. Mediums identify three forms of mental mediumship:

1. CLAIRVOYANCE when mediums see the spirit
2. CLAIRAUDIENCE when mediums hear the spirit
3. CLAIRSENTIENCE when mediums senses the presence and the thoughts of the spirit.

Mental phenomena is the type most often demonstrated in public. Trance mediumship is a form of mental mediumship in which the medium is overshadowed by the spirit communicator and allowed to speak directly through the medium.


What is a Psychic Medium?

What is a Psychic Medium? This is a term that has recently come into common usage meaning someone who works as both a psychic and a medium. All true mediums have psychic abilities anyway so the term PSYCHIC MEDIUM is a somewhat misleading term. However television, the media and the public's misunderstanding have hooked onto the word psychic medium and I guess it's here to stay!
