Any suggestions on how to strengthen and control natural medium abilities?

I get my best and most accurate visions in dreams, but at this point have no control over when I get them, or who I will see. In fact, I rarely see people I was close to in life.

For example, before my wedding, I saw my Great Grandmother (whom I never met), and she came to congratulate me on the event. I asked her about her own marriage (family legend said it was very bad), and she told me she was a correspondence bride, which explained a lot. She also told me that the men in her family didn't approve, but that she was afraid to be sent back to Austria.

I told my grandmother this story, and she said my Grandfather confirmed that much of it was true. I also described her, and her dress (long, powder blue,  ruffled sleeves) matched the one she was buried in.

I've had many instances like this. I just have no idea how to focus them.

My other abilities vary, but are not that strong.  I'm an intuitive. And very clueless.

I've been learning to read tarot cards, and while they are wonderful and insightful, they do not connect to medium abilities.

Suggestions welcome!

That which manifests in dreams by the chance of your mind, can happen by design with meditation.  There are techniques and exercises in meditation that helps to open and expand the mediumship in anyone.

First of all, do you trust yourself?

Meditation is definitely helpfull, though might I suggest you join a group, with a leader to guide you though. It is controlled, safe and you won't stay out too long.

Have you also looked into pendulums and crystal balls. These give instant results, although you will not have the back of a second opinion ie. feeling someone is departing and turning over the knight of wands.

Xtal balls - no you do not need to invest in a xtal ball to find out if you can do it. Apply all the rules, blue quiet etc but use an old glass jar with blue ink in it. I used this for many years untill I found (and could afford) the right xtal ball.

Be kind to yourself,

Thanks for the advice. I will look into all angles. Meditation and group activities are interesting. I never thought of crystal balls before, but its a great idea to explore.

MEDIUMSHIP IS....attuning our vibration to the spirit teachers and guides; which power is used for the benefit of mankind.

Everything in the universe is vibration; each form of life vibrates at their own point of evolution. Each plane from the physical to the highest spiritual has its own vibration; each individual on these planes have their own personal vibration.

We know that radio stations operate on their own frequency and if we want to tune into a particular station we must turn the radio dial to accomplish fine-tuning. So it is when we attune ourselves to spiritual or physical frequencies; whether it be for spiritual knowledge or to help a friend in need. Our minds are the dial and through our mental capabilities, we can tune into the desired vibrations.

With mediumship, we are endeavouring to help those who are earnestly seeking to open the doors of spiritual awareness find their true selves. We hope to give them guidelines to unfold their gifts of the spirit, which are our divine heritage.

No one can do this for you; you must do this for yourself. We can only encourage and advise you; the path you will be treading will not be an easy one. It will be fraught with pitfalls and with discouragement, but to the student, who keeps plodding on the path with eyes on the goal, there will be great rewards reaped.

The trials and tribulations, when used constructively, can only serve to make you stronger in all levels of your being, bringing peace, and balance into your lives.

In spiritual awareness, we now realize that no one, neither an earth teacher nor one in the spiritual realms, can give us this insight into our total being. This is something for which we must strive and attain by our own efforts.

Our teachers, both physical and spiritual, can only give us guidance and encouragement. They will show us how to apply what we are learning in a constructive manner. They will, when invited, work with us in our mental level to help and assist us in dealing with those whom we contact that need our help and assistance.

In the final analysis, it is we who are going to do the learning; we who must accept the responsibilities of utilizing what knowledge we have gained and it is we who have the final say in how we apply what we learn to our physical existence.

As we evolve spiritually and our desires to know and understand are sincere, all things thought to be mysterious are revealed. The universe has no secrets, only ignorance and lack of understanding.

Knowledge is power and power carries with it, responsibility. If the motives for power are not high intent, we advise the student to leave the doors closed until they find the higher self-coming to the forefront.

Power should not be abused, but rather it should be used to better the world in which we live. We should have a full and complete understanding of the spiritual laws and their operation.

The first lesson to be learned is patience; not to hurry our progress but to be content to take one step at a time. Fully understand that step which we have taken before desiring to go on to the next. In this way, our progress and unfolding will be much faster and smoother for you will never have to take that step again. Patience practiced now, will make sure, solid steps in our unfolding of self.

You must unlearn all that stands in your way of spiritual enlightenment by releasing old concepts which have hindered your advancement in awareness, leaving the ground fertile for your budding new awareness in which to grow to the full realization of your purpose for being and your relationship with the universe. The ultimate goal is to find the perfection of soul and the full awareness that we are one with God.

A medium is one who, through the power of clairvoyance and its attendant facets, is in direct contact with a discarnate entity. This ability enables them to give certain detailed facts, which prove that the knowledge is received from a conscious, living, communicative entity.

This ability is factual, is not dependent on the qualities of the subject mind. This ability is able to co-ordinate the subjective and spiritual forces to make the message objective.

Man is a triune being: BODY, MIND, SPIRIT. The body is the overcoat of a physical condition to manifest in a material existence. It contains all the senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and uses these attributes to manifest in the material condition through every sensory attitude of the physical body.
