Mediumship is a interesting process considering we have little to no control on the outcome of each session.

Each reading is unique and has it's own special and personal ear markings.

No , mediumship reading is alike and you will not experience it in the same way even twice.

Mediums are as almost as varied as their readings. Each carrying their own unique style into the work.

But there are some constants in mediumship that you should be made aware of.

VALIDATION : True mediumship seeks validation from the spirits that come through.

There are many ways for a spirit to validate who they are to you. You, being the person that is receiving the reading and desiring the contact.

In mediumship circles the person or persons being read for are know as the sitter or sitters .
You, as the sitter have a very special job during a reading .

By your personal knowledge or through the personal knowledge of others known to the spirit you can validate or invalidate certain information that comes forth as the result of a medium reading .

Some of this information can be validated during the course of a reading

While some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members whom are privy to this certain info.

Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are :

Sometimes the medium will get the names very clearly or just the initial. Also the spirit's personality traits may be described, why? Because not all mediums hear, some ‘sense’ the information, some are shown, the signal is a bit like Morse code or a series of dashes the dashes being the information coming through the gaps the missing info or quite spots.

Most spirits are willing to show how they passed to the medium, how? Either by giving the medium s sense of the area that hurt before they passed or by showing them with pictures and symbols, or by telling them.

Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves.

They have been known to mention other family members. Sometimes calling them by name.

They have also been known to mention a recent event even if small in your current life or other family members lives to show awareness of the here and now and their spiritual presence at the event.

They have been known to show past events.

They have even been known show their favourite flower, book, song or any favourite from their life or even yours.

And just to surprise us. They have even been known to find some really unique way of validating themselves that we probably have not even thought of yet.

All in all. the spirit may choose to use any of the above methods or even none of them.

But they will find a way to validate themselves.

Sometimes a sitter will hold out for a specific validation that they asked the spirit for in advance.

Sometimes this method works but also a lot of times it doesn’t.

That is why it is very important not to place any preconceived expectations on the reading.

If you get your special validation great and if you do not, just know that it is not always possible.

It is a good idea during a medium reading to take notes or even tape record the reading, but this is down to an individual as to if this is allowed.

Because you will want some kind of record of information received. And you will not want to depend on memory to help you sort out the information later.

One reason is because medium readings can have a over whelming effect initially and you would most likely forget more than you remembered.

A medium reading is and always should be considered a special event in a person's life.

Just remember it’s not like being a rock star or an actor, who have spent age learning their lines or rehearsing their music, when a medium starts a reading be it in public or private, they start with nothing! and only have the trust in spirit and themselves that something will happen, no more and no less.
