Member Journey: Part 2
The Art of Mediumship Journey
A journey into connecting with the Spirit World through the sacred practice of mental mediumship. In this course, you’ll learn how to receive clear, loving messages from Spirit using your intuitive gifts.
This next part of the journey is about connecting with a Loved One in Spirit, which begins with identifying who is ready to come forward and present.
As you begin connecting with Loved Ones in Spirit, your first step is to be open to whoever is ready to come forward.
This part of your journey is not about calling in a specific person, but learning how to recognize the unique essence of a Spirit and receive evidence that confirms who they are.
Think of it as learning to recognize the “fingerprint” of someone’s soul.
Let’s walk through this exercise first before we dive into practicing it.
Step 1: You’ll Sense the Spirit’s Essence
Once you’ve relaxed your energy and invited your Gatekeeper Guide to support you, ask a Spirit who is ready to come forward in love to step into your field.
Notice any energetic shift as they enter your space. What changes in how you feel? Do you sense warmth, pressure, lightness, emotion, or personality traits?
Then ask them to gently step back, and feel the contrast. This difference—how your energy feels with them present versus without them—is part of their Calling Card, their energetic signature.
Repeat this a few times to become familiar with how their essence feels.
Step 2: Ask for a Symbol or Signature
Ask the Spirit to show you a symbol or sign you can associate with them.
It may be an object, a color, a memory, or an image that stands out in your mind’s eye. This symbol becomes part of how they will signal their presence to you going forward.
Step 3: Begin the Identification Process
Now, ask intuitive questions to learn more about who this Spirit is.
Be open to answers through your inner senses—feelings, mental images, inner hearing, or simply a knowing.
Try questions like:
Are you male, female, or non-binary?
What was your age when you passed?
What did you enjoy most about life?
How did you transition?
Where did you live?
What is your relationship to me (or to the person I’m reading for)?
What message do you have for the living?
Stay open to whatever you receive. The key here is to not analyze—just allow whatever comes to come. Don’t reject or cast doubt; simply receive.
You can also use positional cues:
Ask the Spirit to stand on your left if male, right if female, or center if neither.
For deceased loved ones, use a “family tree” visualization and ask them to place themselves on the tree in the position of their relationship to you (e.g., mother’s side, father’s side, friend, etc.).
Step 4: Observe the Details
Ask Spirit to step forward and "show themselves" to you.
What do you see or sense? Are there details about their clothing, coloring, mood, or time period? Do they show you objects, names, initials, or memories that feel meaningful?
Even small details—like a red apple, a song lyric, or the letter "J"—can carry strong significance.
Step 5: Confirm with Multiple Impressions
Aim to gather at least 4–5 clear pieces of evidence to help confirm the Spirit’s identity. If you're practicing for someone else, these clues can be powerful validations.
Final Tips:
Trust your first impressions.
Ask the Spirit to repeat or clarify information.
Practice identifying multiple Spirits—this builds accuracy and confidence.
Not every connection will yield full identification, and that’s okay. Learning spirit communication, like any language, becomes clearer with time, practice, and patience.
Above all, stay in your heart. Identification is not just about data—it’s about feeling the presence of someone who still loves, remembers and wants to connect.
You are ready.
Let Spirit meet you where you are.
Exercise: Connecting with a Loved One in Spirit
Find a comfortable position and take a few deep, grounding breaths.
Feel your feet rooted into the Earth, releasing tension with each exhale.
Gently set your intention:
I call forward my Spirit Guides, Angels, Loved Ones, and all energies aligned with love, healing, and truth.
May I be a clear, compassionate channel, and may all messages be for the highest good.
Imagine a warm light entering through the crown of your head, slowly relaxing your body from head to toe, until you feel open, clear, and still—like a hollow bone through which Spirit energy can gently flow.
Now, call in your Gatekeeper Guide by saying silently: I welcome my Gatekeeper Guide to step forward and help me connect clearly and safely with Spirit.
Trust the impressions that come—sensations, feelings, or images—as your Gatekeeper steps into your energy field. Invite them to remain close as you now open to connect with a Loved One in Spirit.
Now, say silently: I welcome any Loved Ones in Spirit who wish to step forward. Please do so now. If it is in the highest good, please come close so I may sense your presence.
Notice what shifts. Do you feel a change in temperature? A lightness, a heaviness, a wave of love or emotion?
Take a moment to fully feel their energy as they enter your field.
Now, ask them gently to step back… notice how your energy changes again without them present.
Let’s do that once more. Invite them to step forward again — and simply observe the difference in how you feel when they are near.
This shift in sensation is their Calling Card—the unique energetic signature that helps you recognize them.
Take a moment and give this feeling, this essence, a few words you can use to describe it.
Now ask:
Can you show me a personal symbol — something I’ll remember you by?
This might appear as a mental image, a word, an object, a scent, or even a memory. Let it arise gently in your awareness. This is their sign to you.
Take a few breaths here. Let the connection deepen.
Now begin to ask your Loved One intuitive questions to confirm their identity — even if you already feel like you know who it is.
Silently ask:
Are you male or female?
How old were you when you passed?
What was your cause of passing?
Where did you live or what region were you from?
What did you love most about life?
What is your relationship to me?
Do you have a message you’d like to share?
Be patient. Allow their answers to come in any form — a feeling, a word, a picture, a memory or just a deep inner knowing.
Now, ask them to step into your mind’s eye and show you more:
What did you look like?
What were you wearing?
What time period are you from?
Is there a name or initial you’d like to share?
Finally, gently ask:
What is one way you’ll continue to show me you’re near?
Let them offer a validating sign, object, sensation or symbol.
Take a deep breath and rest in this connection. Feel the warmth of your Loved One’s presence. Let your heart receive whatever healing, love or message they’ve come to share.
When you feel complete, thank your Loved One for their presence. Ask them to gently step back now, returning to the Spirit realm with love.
Feel your Gatekeeper Guide still nearby, gently closing the connection and holding your energy clear and protected.
Take a few deep breaths. Feel your body again — your feet on the Earth, your breath in your chest.
Begin to return fully to the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers and toes…
Know that your connection to Spirit is real. With each practice, you build a deeper trust in the unseen, and a stronger bond with those who continue to love you from beyond.
To Recap:
The goal of this exercise is to gain experience connecting with Deceased Loved Ones.
When connecting with your own Loved Ones in Spirit, it’s normal to experience an emotional release. This can be part of the healing process. With time and repeated connection, these emotions will shift and lift. Stored emotional energy will begin to move through your system — clearing, integrating, and healing.
Practice this exercise 2–3 times before we move on to Part 3.
You may have different Loved Ones come through, or you may connect with the same Loved One again.
Both experiences are valuable. Each session helps you improve your ability to connect, receive signs, and take in messages from Spirit.
