How Mediumship Works

The physical world can only be experienced through the physical brain and nerve structure of the body; therefore, authentic spirit communication requires providing access to a bodily nervous system as the real bridge into interacting back with us here. This is accomplished by a certain measure of “letting go” of the physical apparatus’s sensory systems — like taking hands slightly off the steering wheel and offering somebody else the opportunity to drive. However, I still retain full mechanical control — it is only the senses that are impacted, and only by degrees (it does take effort from the spirit-side to accomplish the blend and nervous system impressions).

I first work to validate that a connection is being made based on the evidential information I am receiving.  This is the scientific side of this work.  I will not continue a sitting unless I feel confident that the impressions are strong, reliable, and sufficient to support the course of the sitting.  Once a valid connection has been made and security with the impressions determined, further cross correspondence information is explored.

Unlike a classic psychic reading, I take my time in an effort to sift out “noise” in the sensory signals and drill down into the nature of the phenomenon.  Anyone who comes for a sitting, whether they realize it or not, are not simply receiving a reading, they are engaged in an ongoing study into the nature of consciousness and spiritual exploration.

A Breakdown of Information

My nervous system perceives or feels the spirits that come through. Then it falls to the energy-essence of the person on the Other Side to provide details that will allow you to validate that I am making a true connection.*

*Sometimes the spirit you want to hear from most may not be open to communicating with you at this time, but others inevitably show up.

A successful reading depends on the energetic nature of the environment, as it can help or hinder the ability of the body to receive the impressions.  The environment is composed of three energetic “strengths”: my own presence, the energy of the spirit communicator, and the energy of you, the sitter.  Communication is hampered when the sitter is too focused on receiving a specific piece of desired information or to hear from a specific passed person. This narrows the stream of energy flow, and may cause you to lose out on receiving information. Additionally, a negative attitude or the desire to not be read will, of course, prevent the reading altogether. Therefore, please come with an open mind and an unattached heart.

Things I Won’t Do

It's important to note that the extent of my work will not address everything (nor is it intended to!).  In considering a session, please be aware that I do not do the following:

•  Fix people

Some people who go to mediums and psychics (or even more down-to-earth counselors) expect a type of magical key or strategy to be revealed that will unlock the secrets of what they must do in order to achieve perfect success.  Bottom line: there is no such thing.  I allow the energy to impact my body’s nervous system and inform what it reveals, which can (at times) offer future possibilities and can present alternatives; however, there are no miracle cures. I say, “Life is a process and a journey; that path we can discuss, try to clarify and present possibilities, but there is no ‘perfect answer’ that wipes away all stress and anxiety or work that has to be done in improving one’s condition.  (It certainly hasn’t been the case for me!) You can heal your life; I can’t do it for you.  But I can work to help you see things along the way that can aid in the process.” 

•  Remove curses or hexes

Though this may have something to do with psychic phenomenon, I choose not to deal with these issues.  “Having connections on the Other Side isn’t going to help when you believe something like a curse or hex has power over you; deceased grandma and grandpa isn’t going to change that power or belief system.  This one is up to you and is ‘outside’ the realm of the psychic signal and deceased relatives that I work with.”  

• Find grandma’s inheritance

I believe that coming to a medium for the sole purpose of finding the lost inheritance or other valuables negates the amount of energy and time for both me and anyone on the Other Side who would wish to speak with you (sad, but true). Plus, it usually makes the reading feel like I’m having to pull teeth, because the energy is bound up with that intention and expectation and is not completely open to the nature of the exploration. Yikes! That’s not good for anyone. Believe me when I say,  “If grandma wanted you to have the inheritance, you would already have it.  The people who come to communicate from the Other Side have much more important connections to make than worrying about a sitter’s financial gain at their energetic expense in trying to traverse the communicative bridge.  Now, if an item was already in your possession and you lost it by mistake, that’s a different story.  But if you never had it to begin with, don’t bother – you weren’t meant to have it.  Again, sad, but true.”

• The “life mission” question

“What is my life mission?”  It’s an incredibly huge question and also a vague question that cannot be answered without more clarity.  Your life mission with what?  Your parents?  Children?  Career?  Emotional life?  Mental life?  Health of your body?  The overall life mission of every soul is to express and become More of what the soul is and its possibilities.  How you choose to do that will be as individual as the 7-9 billion people on this planet. 

Most people feel the “life mission” question deals with a specific purpose.  Only you can define that.  Some people are meant to be great healers; some people are meant to be fantastic garbage collectors.  Neither do it because of the work itself, but because of what is being exchanged (energy) and the gains (value) being received and expressed.  You may have certain fields of endeavors that appeal to you, and these can be explored in a sitting in terms of energy and magnetics, but the “life mission” question itself is far too “wide open” to receive the type of specific answer that most people wish for. I wish it didn’t, because I would also like those answers for myself!
