Meditation is the first step to sharpening your intuition. The practice helps you calm your mind and quieten the chatter. Through meditation, you can learn to create space in your mind’s eye for images to appear. Take 20 minutes out of your day every day to practice meditation. Start asking questions or for guidance and notice when and how you receive the information because if you ask calmly and for the highest good, the answers will surely come. Most people, I am sure, imagine that the messages or spiritual insight and wisdom come through as loud and clear as the television or radio, but that’s not the case. While sometimes a significant epiphany or breakthrough might occur 90% of the time the messages you recieve will be the quietest and probably often overlooked as you fill your world with distractions such as TV and radio. So you’ll need to start to practice developing the ability to see, sense or hear things around you that most people often ignore. Equally, demanding, getting frustrated with yourself or spirit because you can’t connect or you don’t like what you hear, even correcting what you hear because it doesn’t sound right to you can all promote poor connections and poor reading. Every medium is unique in the way that they work. Once they have learned the ropes in a mediumship course, their skills and gifts are developed and cultivated through practice and commitment to mastering the technology of mediumship. Despite the broad way in which each medium works, there are generally two categories of medium:

It’s important to know the difference between when your mind is involved, and when your Psychic senses are communicating to you. You may have heard that with psychic abilities, usually the first thing that comes to mind is the answer. This is often true because the mind has not yet had a chance to form an impression or interfere. When you begin practicing, it's helpful to form a question or tune into a topic that is open ended, rather than only a few possible specific answers or a yes or no answer. Why, how, or what questions will allow you to receive the most unbiased impressionsand feel when you are receiving information rather than recalling information from your own mind. The difference between a psychic and medium can be confusing for many people, especially those who are not familiar with these spiritual gifts. Find a quiet space where no one will bother you. Turn off your phone and remove anything that could be a distraction. Learn how to protect yourself. You can learn via books or by speaking to any experienced medium and they will share their tips with you, you might not find a way to protect yourself that you are happy with for a while, but just keep on asking and researching until you do. Remember the spirits need your energy to be clear to give them the best chance to communicate with you, they can’t do it for very long it’s hard for them, so if you don’t practice this, you might not ever discover your mediumship abilitiesI've always been psychic from childhood, but never able to make sense of my experiences or shed light on them. As a child, it's challenging enough trying to decipher the world around you, let alone anything beyond this reality. It took me several years to become curious to confront the past and understand what was real or imagined." How did you develop your psychic abilities? A medium is someone who isable to communicate with the spirit of those who have passed on from the physical plane, as well asother non-physical entities. Let's call them etheric-world intelligences. Mediums are able to tune in with etheric-world intelligences to bring forward information. You can be psychic - that is, you are able to intuit or receive information about a person, place or situation - but that does not necessarily mean you are a medium (yet! You can certainly train to become a medium). Mediums, however, are very likely to be psychic. How does a medium work?

You have chosen a wonderful journey of awakening and development, and as College Tutor Maria Antoniou says, you can never stop learning! There is always room to grow, to develop, to learn something new. Our online courses in psychic training and mediumship development celebrate this! We look forward to helping you discover gifts you never knew you had.Just like a chef has to hone his pallet, a medium needs to develop their senses. And as we’ve already alluded to, it’s vital for you to be able to recognise the often quiet world of spirit, not just to connect but to continue to receive spiritual wisdom and guidance for yourself, so that you can continue to grow. For people who don’t have the time to attend classes, they can learn by taking workshops or classes from established mediums to sharpen their abilities. According to legendary psychic medium Ivy Northage, who taught psychic mediumship at The College of Psychic Studies in the 1970s, the natural psychic is vulnerable to receiving spontaneous or random messages, forewarnings, advice or bytes of information that come from 'out of the blue'. Ivy lists four signs that suggest you have psychic potential: Recognize the presence of the spirit or spirits that join you. Allow yourself to receive images, words, feelings, smells - whatever the spirits wish to communicate.

Are you clairvoyant, clairaudient, or clairsentient? Perhaps you feel on the cusp of developing abilities in one of these areas. You're sensitive and receptive to feelings, emotions, and communications from others, and you've had experiences that you consider to be paranormal. This is an important step – I never used to take this seriously because I believed that if you only focused on good then you’ll only attract good, and I learned the hard way why it’s important to keep your energy clear and protected – its crucial. When you are learning how to protect yourself, you’ll also need to learn how to protect others and also how to clear your energy if you become susceptible to any energy that you don’t want to have around you.
