In today's environment mediumship is being highlighted through the media of television, through shows such as 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry. Things can become a little confusing however with such terms as Psychic Medium, Clairvoyant Medium and Spiritualist Medium, as such the inclusion of this page is designed primarily to provide an insight into the working of mediumship in general.
In order to achieve this it is necessary to make a distinction between a psychic and a medium, for although the term refers to a person with a heightened sense of awareness to energies around them, the way in which they each work is quite different.
Both medium and psychic utilise the functionality of the auric field, as it encapsulates the physical body in its entirety. The auric field can contain a vast amount of information as regards to ourselves, which is where the psychic comes into their own. The psychic is to a large extent reading the flows of the auric field and to be honest can be very specific indeed as to the information they relay, startling even. The medium also has a heightened psychic ability as this forms the basis of what is termed clairsentience, a heightened sense of perception through being able to perceive and feel the emanations from a person in the phsyical body as well as a person passed to the spirit side of life. This is where the distinction is made, a psychic can tell you all about you, whilst a medium is able to communicate with our family and friends passed to the spirit side of life.
There is a lot of jargon banded about which can confuse and mislead, therefore I have listed the more commonly used ones below, and are common to all mediums in varying degrees; for instance one medium may be able to sense and not see, yet still provide a good description.
ClairsentienceThis is the ability to pick up emotions from your loved ones. It also allows the medium to feel any ailments your loved had, & to generally feel the person who is communicating through the medium. It should be noted that when working primarily with this sense, that the medium can also be perceiving information from the recipient as well as with the spirit communicator.
Clairvoyance This is the ability to see, commonly known as the third eye. This allows the medium to describe what a loved one from the world of spirit looks like. This comes in two forms, firstly being in what is termed subjective, that is to say within the minds eye. Secondly in what is termed objective clairvoyance, whereby the medium or sensitive will be able to view spirit out side of the mind, as they "spirit" move around.
Clairaudience
This is the ability to hear spirit, thus being able to pass on information from your loved ones. This comes in two forms, Firstly to hear in thought form, this is the most common form of clairaudience, and involves the medium picking up the thought patterns of your loved one in spirit. Secondly to hear the words through the physical ear, though not everyone else in the vicinity will hear what is being said.
Mental Mediumship as the name implies utilises the mind. Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience come under mental mediumship.
