PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP
SÉANCE
The purpose of this type of event is to give you, the sitter, experience with what is out there that you might not otherwise come into contact with.
I would like to preface this lecture by first stating that whenever we engage in the metaphysical, whether for personal gain such as meditation or engaging in physical mediumship such as séance or table tipping, the first order of business should always be to engage in protection techniques. When leading any group, for the benefit of the group as well as myself, I will have engaged in protection prior to your arrival. I will also invoke protection prior to starting the activity for the evening. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t engage in using techniques to protect yourself. I have attended other events where this isn’t spoken of, so it is important as a practice to make sure you are always doing it for yourself. Remember, everything involving the metaphysical is intension based.
I ask that given the nature of what we will be doing that you keep an open mind. Spirit is very powerful. The things you may see or hear may be difficult to grasp or believe. Know that what you may experience is real and that I would never do anything unethical or to perpetrate a fraud. Also, know I would never do anything that I thought might bring someone harm. This being said, you are safe in the midst of these groups. There is no need for fear or misgiving. Fear or anxiety can get in the way of our being successful. I ask that you focus your attention to what is happening at hand, breathing, to being relaxed, or to prayer in support of what is going on.
The modern spiritualist movement began in 1848 with the Fox sisters living in Hydesville, NY. It all began with their hearing knocking in the family home which they determined was related to a spirit who had been killed. They began communicating with it by having it respond to their questions by knocks. Later that century table tipping and séances were being held as mediums worked to find new ways to communicate with the dead that could be seen and heard by others.
Some definitions:
Physical mediumship: the production of physical phenomena such as lights, ectoplasm, levitation, apports, rappings (knocks), objects being moved, and sound being produced of bells and instruments or even spoken words. Physical mediumship often but not always involves a state of trance. This differs from mental mediumship which uses clairvoyance, Clairaudience, or clairsentience.
We have been taught all our lives that this stuff cannot happen. It goes against the laws of physics.
Trance: in general terms, a trance is a hypnotic or cataleptic state in which an individual remains awake but is mostly unaware of their surroundings. Hypnosis for example often induces a trancelike state. Spiritualist mediums can also enter into a trance while attempting to contact the spirits of the deceased. The best way to enter trance is through a meditative state.
Channeling: a phenomena where medium enters into a trance state and allows entities to communicate through him or her. This differs from mediumship as when someone is working as a medium, s/he is sharing information from the spirit realm that is being shared with them. With channeling, you may actually hear the voice of the person being channeled. The medium also may experience transmutation.
Transmutation: is when a medium during channeling takes on the facial characteristics of the person being channeled.
What is the difference between possession and mediumship? In possession, an undesirable entity takes over the body of a human being, forcing out or overriding that human’s spirit. It refuses to leave the body it has taken over until driven out. In mediumship, specifically physical mediumship, the medium voluntarily allows another spirit to make use of his or her energy, vocal cords, hand or arm muscles. s/he never gives up total control of the entire body. It is a mutual agreement that can be terminated at any time. There is no harm that can come to the medium.
