As the leaves change colors and the air turns crisp, a curious phenomenon takes place in the world of psychics, mediums, tarot readers, and intuitive professionals. It’s a time when mainstream media briefly normalizes discussions around topics like death, life after death, ghosts, spirit communication, hauntings, fate, and mysticism. For those of us deeply immersed in these mystical realms, it’s the busiest time of the year, and one question that frequently comes our way is, “Can anyone receive messages from the other side?” The short answer is a resounding yes, but it’s a skill that requires consistent practice and dedication. Join us as we embark on a journey to explore the art of receiving messages from the other side.
Demystifying the Veil
First, let’s dispel the myth that the “veil” between our world and the afterlife magically thins as we approach Halloween. In reality, the veil is always thin; that’s why it’s called a veil. The only barrier between our world and the afterlife is our own minds. Think of your subconscious as an infinite iCloud, storing boundless universal information, including the messages we upload while we sleep. Our subconscious mind is as enigmatic as outer space and as deep as the ocean. Being a medium means straddling the line between the conscious and subconscious, acting as a conduit for messages that bridge both worlds.
The Mind’s Eye
Messages from the other side often begin with clairvoyance—the mind’s eye. Imagine an apple in your mind’s eye right now. If I asked you to point to where you see it, you’d likely gesture toward your forehead, between your eyes. This visualization process is closely tied to the pineal gland, which is physically connected to the optic nerve. When I sit with a client, Tarot cards provide a structural framework, but it’s through my mind’s eye that I receive vivid impressions and images not of my making. Before each session, I clear my mind, relax physically, and remain mentally open. Flipping over each card reveals messages that confirm or enhance my clairvoyant impressions.
Expanding Sensory Awareness
During an hour-long session, sensitivity extends beyond clairvoyance to other heightened senses, emotions, feelings, and physical sensations on my skin, all of which validate the mental impressions I receive. Trust is crucial and builds over time. To establish a connection, it’s essential to trust your initial instinct for each impression, boldly articulating what you see and feel, and having faith that it holds meaning for the person in front of you. The accuracy is often astonishing.
The 4 Fold Lunar Breath Technique
One of my favorite techniques for enhancing intuition is the 4 Fold Lunar Breath Technique. This practice draws in divine feminine energy and enhances your inner vision. It can be done anytime, anywhere, and takes just a few moments.
- Visualize the Full Moon: Close your eyes and picture the bright full moon in your mind. Imagine its radiant silver light illuminating everything in its path.
- Inhale the Moonlight: Inhale deeply, counting to four, and imagine inhaling the silvery-white moonlight. Visualize it entering your bloodstream through your lungs.
- Exhale the Brilliance: Exhale for a count of four, visualizing the moonlight enveloping your physical body, creating an egg-shaped aura of radiant moonlight that extends from every pore of your skin.
- Hold and Illuminate: Hold your breath for a count of four, envisioning the brilliance of the full moon illuminating your mind.
This technique, inspired by Damien Echols, a renowned ceremonial magician who summoned angels daily while on death row and is now a free man, can help you tap into your intuitive abilities and explore the depths of your own mind.
Mediumship, the practice of communicating with spirits or the deceased, is often surrounded by misconceptions and misunderstandings. Here are some common misconceptions about mediumship:
1. Mediums Can Predict the Future: One of the most significant misconceptions is that mediums can predict future events with accuracy. While some may offer insights or guidance based on their intuitive abilities, mediumship primarily involves connecting with spirits and relaying messages from the other side. It is not a tool for predicting lottery numbers or specific future events.
2. Mediums Know Everything About You: People often assume that mediums have access to their entire life history or personal information. However, mediums typically receive information from spirits on a need-to-know basis. They may provide specific details, but they don’t have omniscient knowledge about your life.
3. All Mediums Are the Same: Mediums come in various forms and with different abilities. Some may specialize in connecting with loved ones who have passed away, while others may focus on spirit guides or other entities. Mediums also differ in their techniques, styles, and levels of skill.
4. Mediums Are Always in Contact with the Spirit World: Mediums do not have constant access to the spirit world. They need to enter a focused state of consciousness during a session or reading to connect with spirits. Outside of these sessions, they lead normal lives and have their own experiences.
5. Mediumship Is a Scam: While there have been cases of fraudulent mediums, it’s unfair to label the entire practice as a scam. Many genuine and ethical mediums strive to provide comfort, closure, and guidance to those seeking to connect with loved ones who have passed away. It’s essential to do your research and choose a reputable medium if you decide to seek their services.
6. Mediums Can Control or Command Spirits: Mediums do not control spirits or force them to appear or communicate. Communication with the spirit world is based on willingness and consent from both sides. Spirits may choose when and how to communicate, and mediums act as intermediaries.
7. Mediums Are Psychics: While some mediums may possess psychic abilities, not all psychics are mediums, and not all mediums are psychics. Psychic abilities involve perceiving information about the past, present, or future, whereas mediumship specifically involves connecting with spirits or the deceased.
8. Mediums Can Remove Negative Entities: While some mediums may offer spiritual cleansing or guidance for dealing with negative energies, it’s essential to be cautious about anyone claiming to remove negative entities entirely. Genuine mediums focus on connecting with spirits and providing messages rather than performing exorcisms or entity removal.
9. Mediumship Is Against Religious Beliefs: Some people believe that mediumship goes against their religious beliefs or is associated with the occult. However, opinions on mediumship vary widely across different religions and spiritual traditions. It’s essential to respect individual beliefs and practices.
10. Mediumship Is Always Emotional or Dramatic: While some mediumship sessions can be emotional, not all are filled with dramatic revelations or tearful reunions. Mediums work to provide messages and closure, which may be comforting rather than intensely emotional.
