I had my first experience with trance this weekend, Sitting with 4 other mediums, All of which easily went right into trance and started speaking as if they were spirits with different personalities and event different tones of voice. However, I myself just couldn't fall into trance. I couldn't get past my totally conscious mind and let it go into trance. I felt what i believed was supposed to be happening and even felt a lot going on in my throat, but I was still VERY much too aware.

One of the mediums was bringing through these extreme characters, one of which claimed to be a friend of Andy Warhol and another sitter was able to recognize who it was. She was the only one who I got kind of a weird vibe from and wondered if it was at-least a bit exaggerated on her part. However the other ones seemed very real. Another was a girl whose been practicing just as long as I have and she was able to go out pretty quick. I was a bit discouraged that i was unable to do it.

Wondering if anyone has any tips for atleast letting your mind go and slipping into an altered state. I felt my entire body filled with strong energy to the point that i could barely feel my legs anymore, but my neck up to my head was just COMPLETELY there.

Hello

First off was it trance or was it them....we are able to alter many levels of our voices even if we do not feel we can. Not saying it was not real experiece as I was not there, but I have seen good and bad one's. Being able to "feel" where they are at on a surface level I can tell if one is really with someone or not (most times).

I would not worry on not being able to do it, as it takes two things one is ye's comfort zones and the other being that Spirit that is there is able and willing to make that connection to ye. I have Spirits that come to me so real that if I did no know by waving hand through them. It is rare for me honestly to let a Spirit into me via trance. I more work with them beside me, or I travel with them. To have that letting go and have that place of total trust that another being can enter ye is not an easy place to accept at times on a sub conscious level. So I would not worry on it. If it is meant to happen with ye it will.

To sit in a group and have it just happen I really wonder on. I have been in Medium Circles and we all have had different experiences. I too work with a Trance Medium and I work as her "protections" to keep her safe in that place.

Like all things patients and practice but above all else trust in what is right for ye at the right time.

That is a good question.  It leads down the road of if one uses a physical person to be one's gate keeper them having to believe in one's abilities or be in on the act.  That is easy to say but harder to keep that role going.  When one uses a Guide or some other being as the Gate Keeper then its open ended to what the Medium can put forth.

I was thinking of, but didnt' exactly make it clear in my question.... I was thinking of a Guide from spirit or in spirit as a Gate Keeper.

Well, that might happen. I have with me a Spirit that was me in a past life, he is more a Guide in this life to me and to someone that also shared in that past life we lived.  We have always known him to be with us or around us, he is there for protections at times.  Yet he was very much human at one time.  I know well that he has shown at times to an audiance when I am doing Platform Mediumship.  I will have people say there was a knight in Armour with ye. So we can have those in Spirit with us to assist us.  Many times what one's might call an Angle interveintion could be someone in Spirit that could help us out. 

I have only been to one medium, and she has this sort of a Guide with her when she is in trance. He brings forth those who speak thru her, when she shares her messages from the Spirit World.

For me I call it my Higer Self that comes in when I give messages or do readings.  Many times I have no clue what I have put forth, til I am done typing or speaking.  So when its a channeled message it well could be the voice of that Spirit that comes into yours.  I have not had any successes with MP3 recorders and being able to get one to work to tape a session.  The battery simply goes.   I have had this happen at events for other's as well. 
I guess I just thought all mediums had such a connection, little do I know, eh ?...... but always interested in learning , thanx much ! one can see much wisdom in your posts

I always say take it as "entertainment purposes only, and take only what feels right for you to accept, kindly disregard the rest. "  At times when no message comes in or a message that makes no sense comes in and one is on stage its not easy to not make it up.  Been there but not made it up.  Though you feel that pressure to give something forth.  Its not the easiest of work to do at times but it is a great blessing when the energies do match up with ye and it works.

In my experience there's a bit more to it than that and it can be frightening if you don't know what to expect, you do need to be quite disciplined to achieve that state and it shouldn't be done alone.

What is Trance Mediumship?

There are many different takes on trance Mediumship as well as many different people who claim to have mastered this psychic skill.


When a Medium allows a spirit to connect to them, it may cause them to be in a trance state the spirit will show to be overshadowing the Medium.   This often causes their speech to differ from its usual tone, rate, or vocabulary. There are times when the words or an accent is used that are in no way native to the Medium.   There are different degrees of trance control; this can go from a very light state to a very deep state.   In a light state of trance the Medium might seem to be in control of what is happening but often does not remember what is said when the session is over. When a Medium goes into a deep state of trance they should have with them someone that can bring them back out, as in this state the spirit with them has more control over the physical actions of the body of the Medium.  In this state there is often seen or felt a shirt by the one seeing the Medium.  What I mean by this is a physical shifting of the body where there is like an aura outside the Medium present or a position change in how the Medium holds their physical body that is not the normal for them.  IE here slouching or crossing of their legs, the Medium might not be able to do this position outside the trance state.  There has been research done on language exhibited by those in a trance mode to try and find understandings on where the communications arise from.  There is very often a broken speech patterns or a reversal of sentence structure and an overall change in grammar usage. The rate of speech seems to be at times very slow or very rapid, as it’s a vibration that the Medium is receiving they have to learn to control how that vibration comes into them. 
The trance state is a sharing of the consciousness between the spirit and the medium. The Medium has given permissions for their physical being to be used for a time to allow communications to take place. There are noted changes in the Medium’s body state, at times the heart rate will change or blood pressures will change.  The most pronounced change usually is in the breathing patterns.  There often is a shirt in the breath patterns or rhythm.  How you can tell that the Medium has not simply differed off to sleep is that there is no Rapid Eye Movement that occurs in the state of dreams, that place of REM Sleep where changes in the physical body levels too can take place.  What is similar sleep is the feeling of being cold.  When one dozes off into a deep sleep and is not covered up often one wakes with a shiver, this too can happen with the Medium when they come from trance; too they often come out feeling dehydrated.



What often gets confused are two different events one being possession and the other being attachment of the spirit to the Medium.  This is not the case; this is a sharing state of consciousness.  The levels of control are in the hands of the Medium but are dependent on the levels of trance to what they might recall after.  The spirit has a vibration of energy they come in with as does the Medium have life force energy of control.  So much depends on the experience of the Medium to be able to balance the energies.   Who is in control, the Medium is, as it is their consciousness that is being utilized. 



Like all things we “can” all do it’s not meant for us all to try it in a hap hazardous way.  It’s never a game, as we need to remember a Spirit was once a living breathing being like we are now.  Trust, respect and boundaries need to be in place with any communications on any level.

It would depend on what one is in contact with, to me vibration is vibration.  One can communicate with being that we would not call of this World….nature  spirits, guides or angles ext…. Those that were once human and get stuck in limo are what I refer to as “Earth Bound” and those are one’s that have more the physical abilities.  These are one’s that often seek to want help from a Medium  to find the Light and cross over. 

Can this be the case for those known as Ascended masters? angels? and guides etc?

There are some that do connect to other beings of Light….now that is open for debate on what is possible.  I know that I can at times communicate with guides of others.   To me they are all on the same levels as energy.




Also why cant Mediums just see and talk or write down what the spirit says? I get the part of takign over so its like soem one else driving your car ratehr than you driving them rite?



I can see and talk to Spirits without them needed to take me over at times its all in how one’s alibies open to them. What is right for one Medium and works might not be for another.  When I do readings on the psychic levels of one aspect of me often I am not aware of what the hands have typed til I am done,  I am a channel in that instance for the message to come in.  There are times when the only way the energy connection can be made is to allow the Spirit to be with ye on a deeper level so that the vibrational level they communicate at can be understood.  Again it’s a personal level of comforts and learning.

Does it get less exciting than when you first started out? Do you feel well protected what do you use for protection? Dos the energy drain you of spirits? How does the energy of Earth bonds come across compared to others. Regarding myself I have some stagnat energy I thinks and I fidn it at hard to tell what is what. I havnt had time to meditate etc so I cant really tell much at the moment.

It seems you have come a far way since last time we spoke. Funny thing I was just thinking of you the day before and then next day your here, lol



I have never viewed it as “exciting” but when I look at the feelings around it there is a rush.  Not a rush in the emotions of WOW I can do this more an energy rush.  To me it has always been me, the only thing that has changed is that I now have the time (as the kids get older) to be free to do more outside work with my abilities in the public eye. 
It’s interesting to be asked if I feel protected.  I never understood whom was around me, as there was always someone there with me. It was not til I started reading up on Guides, Angles, Gate Keepers ect that I started to look at the different energy vibrations those around me held.  I grew up thinking everyone was the same but for some reason we did not discuss it is all.  To learn I was very much different.  I have two main Guides with me, that I know are there to assist me, and I do work very grounded, as for protections, Hematite is the stone I use the most.  I surround with a Bubble of Divine White Light.

I know that I have been told to re hydrate after doing a reading, to make sure I take some time for me…. I have never noted a difference if I do so.  I think in coming in with things on in me, I simply adapted as I went along life’s path.  The best thing I ever did was “Toast Masters” public speaking it gave me that self-confidence to get up in front of people and let things flow as “me”. Not scripted even though I was taught to prepare the work that I was to share, and then get up and leave the notes behind. 
When one is Earth Bound they are more in the physical energy fields, they can be more physical on the interactions they are able to have with me.  There will be more of their physical senses around them, i.e. smell (now I do not mean the smell of death) more perfumes or medications they were wearing or taking.  Personal objects they might wear are clearer.  It’s a vibration I simply know on some level they are not in the Light that door feels closed.

We can try all we want to open doors to ourselves but unless we are ready for that to happen they will remain closed.  We do not need time for meditations we just need to slip away into that state more freely is all. Getting lost in a song that is playing is a short meditation.  It’s a chance to connect to our inner self.  We put too much emphasis on time and having no time, but there is truly no such thing as time it’s a concept man created to work us around.

I feel the vibrations when I am thought on is all and I wonder back in where I sense it comes from.  I do not ever go deeper to ask WHOM is thinking on me as I do not have those permissions to enter their private energy fields.  I have just had more energy of late to share more, as I move to balance one aspect of life’s path to another aspect of life’s path.  It’s about balance of one’s resources .

I have read that the mediums in the past and also the mediums of today are terribly exhausted after doing any physical mediumship..
