How many people want to become mediums? Is it a want or a 'calling', have you been told you are gifted that way or have the potential to become a medium? Or have things just always happened around you such as hearing voices or seeing spirits.

What do you think spirit expect of you in order for them to help you develop mediumship, or is simply wanting to do it enough ?

I have always for as long as I can remember, wanted to be a medium.
I do get messages for others now and then, I do trance work, I channel healing energy and healers.
So I spose in a way that is being a medium.
But I want to give messages to people from their loved ones.
So, no wanting is not enough.
You have to use the gifts you were given. Cos they are what you are best at.

i don't think wanting is enough, one should be ready and sometimes being ready and wanting is not the same.i know of people who got the gifts but didn't ask for it nor want it.
what do you think violet?

I think why you want it is just as important as wanting it, if you intend to use it for good that's fine but of course there are others who only want to profit or become famous (not that all famous mediums are in it for that reason.) I think a lot depends on intent and spirit probably knows better than we do why we really want to do it.

As shayn pointed out, some get them and don't even want them, it makes you wonder why sometimes their abilities are so good yet unused when others are working very hard and sometimes for many years to reawaken those abilities, (as I believe we are all born with those abilities.)

You don’t learn to be a medium or just want to be a Medium... Everyone has the ability some more then others. You don’t have to be a medium to connect with spirit.

Firstly and most important is to learn the basics like protection and grounding. You don’t want to attract a lower entity. You want to be working with higher entity. You wouldn’t work as an electrician before learning how to not get electrocuted.

Mel is o right, i am asked by people all the time, " how can i become a medium" the answer is, you either have the gift, or you dont, yes you can learn how to read cards, but that alone will not connect you to the Spirit world, i to be honest, dont have a clue n the Tarrot, i read Jewlrey, Pictures, obejcts, and an make connection through one to one either by visual, or letters, so long as a connection can be made, and you have the gift, then you can succeed.

Lets be honest though, the realy gifted ones are Spirit world themselves.

Thats just my thoughts.

Lee i agree but not agree, like in art, and actually in everything in life, the really good ones are the gifted ones, but to some degrees you can learn and practice. so one might not be the best in mediumship but still practice it to a point. this is what i feel, and think.but going back to the original question, which kept popping to my mind every now and then, i feel that one should be well rooted in life and in loving life to be a medium. maybe i'm wrong, so please let me know what you think about this, like a healer should be well grounded when giving healing. 

I feel we are all born with these abilities, but many misplace them on the journey to adulthood, I believe many of us can re discover them if we choose to, I sort of agree with shayn that some may only get so far with it while others develop immensely (but never fully, as it's all progression and a journey in itself) that's why I asked is wanting it enough.

I think a lot depends on who you are, the experiences you've had etc, I think wanting it does come into it, just as some don't want it and turn their backs on it, but I don't think wanting it is ever enough.

Well put Viloet.

I don't think it's that we are born with these abilities, per se. We are spirit having a human existence. So it's only natural for spirit to see other spirit. With time, we learn to tune back into spirit. So we can see what is already there. Spirit is there all the time. We just are unable to vibrate high enough to see it constantly. In our human forms. So when that happens spirit has to vibrate slower to meet us in the middle so we can see them.

So in essence anyone can learn to see spirit.

it sounds to me as both of you say the same thing only in different words. seeing and hearing and talking to spirits, it is something everyone can do if one wants to. but then one should remember or relearn how to do it. where i think wanting will not be enough.
