Lisa Bousson shares what goes on in the background during a reading and public demonstration of mediumship. Prep work through the final messages.
Before connecting with spirit, a spiritual medium typically goes through several preparatory steps to ensure they are in the right mindset and energetically aligned for the session. These steps help create a safe, clear, and focused space for communication with the spirit world. Here’s a breakdown of what a medium might do:
1. Grounding and Centering
Grounding is essential for a medium to stay balanced and focused. They often practice grounding techniques, such as deep breathing, visualization, or even walking barefoot on natural surfaces like grass or earth. This helps them stay connected to the present moment and the physical world, preventing them from becoming too detached or overwhelmed during the reading.
2. Cleansing and Protection
Many mediums will perform some form of energetic cleansing to clear any lingering or negative energies from their environment or their own energy field. This could involve smudging with sage, palo santo, or other herbs known for their cleansing properties. They may also use crystals, sound (such as bells or singing bowls), or prayers to protect themselves from unwanted influences and to create a sacred, safe space.
3. Setting Intentions and Affirmations
A medium often sets a clear intention for the session, asking for guidance and clarity in the messages they receive. They may say a prayer, affirmation, or invocation, asking for assistance from their spirit guides, angels, or ancestors to ensure the information they receive is accurate and for the highest good of all involved.
4. Tuning into the Energy
Once they feel centered, grounded, and protected, a medium will begin to tune into the subtle energies around them. This may involve focusing on their breath, quieting their mind, and opening their senses to the spiritual realm. They might allow their intuition to guide them, sensing the presence of spirits or receiving symbols, feelings, or impressions that will help them make a connection.
5. Establishing Communication with Spirit Guides
Many mediums work closely with their personal spirit guides or other trusted beings from the spiritual realm. Before connecting with a specific spirit, they may call on these guides to help facilitate communication, ensuring that the messages they receive are clear and accurate.
6. Clearing the Mind and Heart
Mental and emotional clarity are key to effective mediumship. To make sure they’re not clouded by personal emotions, biases, or distractions, mediums might engage in a brief meditative practice or silent reflection to clear their minds and open their hearts, ensuring that the messages they channel come from a place of pure connection rather than personal influence.
By preparing in these ways, a spiritual medium sets the stage for a more profound, focused, and accurate connection with the spirit world. This careful approach helps create a safe and respectful atmosphere for both the medium and the spirits they are attempting to communicate with.
