Your Medium Potential

We all intuit. Most of the time, we are not aware that we are

absorbing energy information and connecting with those in

the spirit realm. Knowing the natural way that you intuit will help you to recognize when and how you are already acting as medium.

With this awareness you can begin to further develop and refine

your abilities.

You are likely to have one or two medium types that are stron-

ger than the others. It is best to be comfortable with each mode

of intuiting and the optimum is to be balanced in all four types.

This will empower you to be able to consciously communicate with

the other side when and how you choose. Keep in mind that those

in spirit communicate through similar types of modalities. Some

on the other side transmit messages through visual images, others

through mental thought and some are more attuned to emotional

energy.

Each medium type has specific intuitive abilities and potential

obstacles for development. Read through the following description

for each of the four types. Although you are likely to see a bit of yourself in each one, you will also be better able to clarify your primary way of communicating with the other side.

The Healers

Emotional Intuitives

An emotional intuitive is an emotional sponge. They soak in the

feelings and emotions of those close and far away. It does not mat-

ter if a loved one is in the next room or thousands of miles away,

their ability to intuit others emotions is remarkable. Without

knowing that they are doing so, they often absorb the emotional

energy of situation, a group of people or even past and future

events. They tend to be sensitive and responsive to others needs regardless of time and space. If you get a call from a friend who says that she has been thinking of you and wonders if everything is alright, she is most likely an emotional intuitive.

Emotional Mediums

Emotional mediums feel and absorb the emotional energy of those

who have passed over. Have you ever felt an unexpected and sud-

den surge of love flow through your heart? Have you ever woken

up in the morning and seemingly out of nowhere you were able

to let go of ongoing anger and forgive someone on the other side

who had caused you pain? When you think of loved ones who are

no longer in the physical realm, do you ever feel flooded with emo-

tions? These kinds of confusing experiences might very well be real encounters with loved ones on the other side. Because emotional

mediums are intuitively wired to communicate and connect with

the spirit realm through emotional energy, they feel more and

more deeply than the other types. Emotional mediums tend to be

compassionate, empathetic and attuned to the higher states of di-

vine love.

202 ~ Your Medium Potential

Although it may seem like simply random memories or the rec-

ollection of good feelings, emotional mediums can feel the present

time emotions of those in spirit. Without knowing the source of

their emotions, they may feel spontaneous feelings of joy and bliss and the assurance that they are loved. A good example of this is my mother who felt the love of my grandfather in spirit. Even though

she was still after many years angry and resentful, divine love crept into her heart. Although she did not consciously know that she was

intuitively connecting with him, the love that she felt coming from his spirit helped her to heal.

Our loved ones send waves of positive emotional energy to us

when we are scared, confused, in pain or need to undertake a dif-

ficult task. When we feel overwhelmed and alone they surround us

with feelings of peace and calm reassurance. An emotional medium

is the most likely type to receive and feel these emotional gifts from the other side.

Understanding Emotion

If you are an emotional medium it is important to learn how to

balance the deluge of emotions that you often intuit. The chal-

lenge is to both feel the emotional energy that they are receiving

and detach and understand it at the same time. Otherwise you are

likely to feel overwhelmed with emotion and not be able to differ-

entiate your personal feelings from the emotional energy that you

are absorbing from the spiritual realm. I know that it seems like a paradox to be able to both feel and detach at the same time. But

once you become more aware of the innate way that you connect

with those on the other side, the better able you will be to sense the difference between your emotions and those that you are receiving

from the spirit realm. Even if you are not sure where the emotions

that you are feeling are coming from, this is the beginning steps

to further medium communication. Once you become aware that

what you are feeling is coming to you from an outer source, you

can begin to dialogue and elicit other information. Your ability to intuit the emotions of those in spirit is the doorway through which other medium abilities can be developed.

Conduits of Divine Love

Emotional mediums tend to be sensitive to the needs of others and

may pursue becoming a professional medium in order to help heal

those here and in the hereafter. With a soulful desire to be of service, emotional mediums often use their intuition to promote rec-

onciliation and forgiveness between those in the physical realm and their family members on the other side. They know that it is never

too late to heal wounds and mend disagreements and misunder-

standings.

A session with an emotional medium can be transformative. To

varying degrees most mediums are aware of the emotions of those

in spirit. This is often referred to as
clairsentience
. An emotional medium however, is the expert in adeptly handling the wide range

of emotions that are often generated when people are reunited with

their departed loved ones. Their sessions often provide a sense of

healing and peace to everyone involved.

If you are an emotional medium you may disregard your intui-

tive gifts as less genuine or authentic than the other kinds of me-

dium skills. Because you do not see those on the other side sitting beside you or you do not catch the scent of their cologne or hear

them speaking, it may not feel real to you. Yet, intuitively tuning into the vibrations of emotional energy is a powerful way to connect. Emotional mediums can heal the long lasting pain and hurt

between individuals regardless of time and space and bring clo-

sure to people who are deeply mourning their loved ones who have

passed over. It is not just the words they speak. Emotional medi-

ums exude love and forgiveness. In their presence, pain is released and healing and forgiveness emerges. Emotional energy is likely

the most powerful energy that we experience and generate in both

204 ~ Your Medium Potential

the physical and spiritual realms. An emotional medium is adept

at harmonizing, balancing, understanding, and putting into words

the complexities of emotionally charged energy. In this way they

mend, restore, and nurture those in the deepest states of grief and overwhelming loss.

Angels often use emotional mediums as conduits of divine love.

They are connected to the purest vibrations of love. It is their sustaining grace. Without it they become depressed and ungrounded.

Often overwhelmed with the depth of emotions that they unknow-

ingly absorb, they need to remember to open their heart, release the pain and wounds of others and receive cosmic love.

The Knowers

Mental Intuitives

Mental intutives intuit energy information through their thoughts.

They are natural telepaths that knowingly and unknowingly send

and receive thought messages. With the ability to simply know in-

formation and facts without knowing how they know, they are nat-

ural problem solvers. They are driven to understand and increase

their knowledge and awareness in all areas. Attuned to the higher

states of consciousness, mental intuitives can see the big picture

and bring cohesive understanding to complex issues and situations.

Mental Mediums

Mental mediums are able to intuit the thoughts and receive energy

information from those in the spirit realm. However, they are not

always aware that they are doing so. Have you ever been riding in

a car or doing a mundane task while carrying on an inner conver-

sation? New ideas, the solution to a pressing problem or an Ahh

moment suddenly emerges bringing with it fresh insight. These

moments of illumination might be coming to you from your Uncle
