It soon became evident; because of the tingling sensations, I feel in my ear, I was
adopting clairaudience or clear hearing in my mediumship. This
is similar to clairvoyance in that I hear words more than see
clairvoyantly. Rather, I hear the thoughts of the spirit person. It
feels like I have two voices in my head. It again took lots of
practice to determine which thoughts were mine and which were the
spirit persons. I often hear the other voice and it will seem very
much my own. Sometimes I get several trying to communicate with me at
once.
Spirit will take every opportunity to make themselves heard. Unfortunately, to the mediums avail it can be very hard work keeping spirit in order whilst delivering a reading. Although through
development, I have noticed a different voice similar to when reading
a book with different characters in dialogue. The characters voices
all read different. Often names and unfamiliar words will pop into my
mind and I have to trust in the communication and just give what I
get. I have even had to consult the dictionary to understand the
meaning. I find this form of communication more accurate and prefer
to work this way when possible. Often, I have given names to people
and at that moment in a reading, they cannot recognise them.
Nevertheless, after a reading I have received verification from the
recipient.
Spirit often like to give things that one cannot immediately verify. It is more evidential to work this way. Often, I have received names of relatives, verifying which side of the family
they belong. It is often possible to build a profile of the spirit
communicator and describe enough for the recipient to understand and
accept whom it is coming through from the other side. It is only with
the practice of giving messages week in week out that my faith grew
enough to trust that what I was seeing or hearing was correct, with
continued support and verification from others in the group.
Developing mediumship is comparable to learning a foreign language,
the more you use it the more it becomes natural to use the new words
you have learned. Quickly one will build up a vocabulary of symbols
one will use when interpreting the messages from spirit.
