Allowing Spirit to capture our attention

Since my youth have I been interested in trance mediumship, without really knowing it was called that. I just felt a huge curiosity towards the spirit world and mediums. The curiosity was a mix of I think the whole area spoke to me in a way I couldn’t explain (my soul recognized an area I could pursue) and second I lost my mother as 19 years old and had a deep need of receiving messages from her, which never happened at that time, only much much later, like 35 years later. I never ever thought I would train trancemediumship myself, not even if you had asked me 1,5 years ago being very involved in my mediumship development would I have thought that it would be a path for me.

But Spirit had other plans and are always nudging us on the path where we have something to offer to the world and at a certain point when the time is right you follow the nudge. I started my trance mediumship development last year, where I have been through several trancemediumship programs with different teachers to kind of finding my teacher which can help me to go much deeper. At the same time have I been in different trance circles to explore and to learn the craft and see other mediums offering trance. Next week will I start to receive some proper 1:1 mentoring from a very experienced trancemedium teacher and spiritualist, which hopefully will move me much further.

Trance mediumship is the oldest form of spirit communication. A Spirit Being is blending and communicating through the mind of a medium, it is not physically. The most wellknown communication are spoken or written trance, also known as automatic writing, but trancehealing, trance art, trancemusic are also part of trance. Trancemediumship requires that the medium is entering an altered state of consciousness allowing the Spirit Being to blend with the energy, mind and body of the medium. As a medium you surrender your consciousness to Spirit and keep your mind out of the process. Your ego is dissolving and then Spirit are blending with you and with your permission taking over the control of your mind and body, so they can communicate through you. It feels like being in a state of no thoughts, a deep meditation, although you are not meditating, you are there, but in a very relaxed state, and the deeper you surrender in the merging, the more relaxed and “gone” you are.

Some altered states are light, where the medium are able to hear and watch from another place, other altered states are very deep, where the medium cannot recall or remember anything from the trancemediumship. This has also to do with how experienced you are. You don’t fall asleep as a medium and no spirit can take over the mind of the medium, the medium is agreeing with everything, so the medium is offering themselves to Spirit and allowing Spirit to communicate through them. The more altered state and experienced you are as a trancemedium the more advanced it will be. The mediums mind is on hold, while Spirit is delivering fluent, logical, intelligent information, but also very uplifting and enlightening information, or healing or whatever the trance is about. So trance is the altered states of consciousness wherein different kinds of modalities can take place with the help of Spirit.

A thing I have been wondering myself is that, there is trancemediumship and channelling, and the difference is that channelling is a lighter version of spirit blending with the mediums mind. In channelling the spirit is only blending with the outer layers of the aura of the medium.

With the knowledge I have now, going through all my mediumship training the last 5 years I do see a pattern in my development, that the mediumship and my path of going within has helped me immensely in my trancemediumship development. If you have experience with meditation you can focus more on the trancemediumship instead of dealing with both of them at the same time. My ability to surrender and go deep quite fast has definitely to do with my on-off meditation practice in my life. Several of my mediumship teachers have asked me to consider trancemediumship because I so easily can go deep. So let’s see how the quality and depths of my trancemediumship will be. I would love to use it in my energy healing sessions.
