Physical Mediumship
With the advent of mediums on TV like Tony
Stockwell, John Edward, Colin Fry, you could be forgiven for thinking
mediumship is something fairly new. However people have communicated
with the spirit world for thousands of years, in fact even before the days of
the Jesus. We have tracts that refer to mediumistic acts throughout the bible
and many other indications. Moses, Mary, Peter to name but a few, all
had experiences which have been described as visions, angels appearing or
'speaking in tongues'. These phenomena can be thought of as physical
phenomena, materialisation being just one aspect of physical phenomena
that we as individuals or groups of people, can experience when
communicating with the spirit world.
Physical mediumship really started in the mid
1800's up to the mid 1900's, although it is still very much alive today. Of
all the various methods used to communicate with the spirit world and the
Ouija board was perhaps one of the best known. [Please do not use a
ouija board - there are some very good reasons not to!] Spirit are trying all
the time to communicate with us and will take every opportunity to do so
through whatever means is available, and this includes ouija boards, remember
not all spirits have good intentions, there are mischievous or occasionally
negative spirits around.
Physical mediumship should only be
attempted in properly controlled environments with support and
safeguards in place to ensure the safety of the medium.
Spiritualism to some extent became popular in
America at a place called Hydesville when the Fox sisters heard knocking
and tapping noises in their house. It took some time for them to realise that
these noises came from Spirit. They began to communicate with the spirit by
asking questions, the answers coming as raps for Yes or No. This is another
example of Physical Mediumship and is just one of many ways for
spirit to communicate via physical means.
Physical mediumship usually takes more time and
patience to practice. The conditions must be right in order to help spirit
get through. The energy used by spirit is far greater in physical mediumship
than with mental mediumship.
