An Exploration of Trance Mediumship

Description
This first-ever neuroscientific evaluation of mediumistic trance states reveals some exciting data to improve our understanding of the mind and its relationship with the brain," Newberg said. "These findings deserve further investigation." I believe in sharing perspectives, and approaching the world with curiosity, so us chatting about these topics only deepens our connection. Finally, there are Trance Mediums, who fascinate me as they enter a deep meditative state to connect with the spirit world. Deborah Blum. (2006).

On 4 February 1922, Harry Price with James Seymour, Eric Dingwall and William S. Marriott had proven the spirit photographer William Hope was a fraud during tests at the British College of Psychic Science. Price wrote in his SPR report "William Hope has been found guilty of deliberately substituting his own plates for those of a sitter... It implies that the medium brings to the sitting a duplicate slide and faked plates for fraudulent purposes." [131] The medium Kathleen Goligher was investigated by the physicist Edmund Edward Fournier d'Albe. On July 22, 1921, in a séance he observed Goligher holding the table up with her foot. He also discovered that her ectoplasm was made of muslin. During a séance d'Albe observed white muslin between Goligher's feet. [132] A medium is widely recognised as someone who can communicate with the spirit world, someone who acts as a medium between our world and the next. There are many forms of mediumship and various aspect which are often confused. Trance Channeling is sometimes called Full Body Channeling, where the Medium lets the Being (in my classes, only Light Beings) in their body to speak through them. This brings forth a better message as the Medium steps away and the message is less likely to be filtered through the Medium’s Ego. In 2003, skeptic investigator Massimo Polidoro in his book Secrets of the Psychics documented the history of fraud in mediumship and spiritualistic practices as well as the psychology of psychic deception. [55] Terence Hines in his book Pseudoscience and the Paranormal (2003) has written: Intriguingly, experienced psychographers showed lower levels of activity in the brain's frontal lobe regions of the left anterior cingulate and right precentral gyrus during psychography. These areas are linked with reasoning, planning, generating language, movement and problem solving, perhaps reflecting an absence of focus, self-awareness and consciousness during psychography. These psychographers also experienced less activity in the left hippocampus, which is linked with emotion, and the right superior temporal gyrus, which is linked with hearing.In the first level of my Trance Channel Mediumship Courses, I teach five different ways to channel, including Trance Channeling. I feel there is a place for each type of channeling— channeled writing, channeled healing, repeated messages, full body-trance channeling and channeled protection. Between 8 November and 31 December 1920 Gustav Geley of the Institute Metapsychique International attended fourteen séances with the medium Franek Kluski in Paris. A bowl of hot paraffin was placed in the room and according to Kluski spirits dipped their limbs into the paraffin and then into a bath of water to materialize. Three other series of séances were held in Warsaw in Kluski's own apartment, these took place over a period of three years. Kluski was not searched in any of the séances. Photographs of the molds were obtained during the four series of experiments and were published by Geley in 1924. [126] [127] Harry Houdini replicated the Kluski materialization moulds by using his hands and a bowl of hot paraffin. [128] Likewise, meditation and musical improvisation might be associated with lower levels of brain activity, which may favor relaxation and creativity," researcher Julio Peres, a clinical psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, told LiveScience. However, alcohol, drug use, meditation and musical improvisation all lead to brain activity quite distinct from psychography, researchers noted. So when it comes to mediumship, I can’t ignore the criticism and skepticism that has surrounded it for centuries. Brown, Michael F. (1999).

When the scientists analyzed the writing psychographers created, they found that psychographic writing was more complex compared with normal writing — for instance, words were longer, more words were used per sentence, and psychographic writers deployed more descriptive words than when they were in a non-trance state. This increase in complexity was especially seen in the psychographies of the expert mediums. I strictly avoid using any manipulative tactics, such as cold or hot readings, as they are not only unethical but also hinder the true power of mediumship. Another medium that caught my attention is Allison Dubois, known for her hit TV show ‘Medium’ which can be found on Crystal Gazer. A new study has found that mindfulness meditation for pain relief is a viable treatment, with 89% of participants reporting less pain after an 8-week program. In Spiritism and Spiritualism the medium has the role of an intermediary between the world of the living and the world of spirit. Mediums claim that they can listen to and relay messages from spirits, or that they can allow a spirit to control their body and speak through it directly or by using automatic writing or drawing.Trance mediumship comprises a special relationship with the spirit controls that work with us. This relationship helps us to build a closer rapport and can bring a sharper, more specific and accurate flow of information in all areas of healing, mediumship, philosophy and teaching. In the later half of the 20th century, Western mediumship developed in two different ways. One type involves clairaudience, in which the medium claims to hear spirits and relay what they hear to their clients. The other is a form of channeling in which the channeler seemingly goes into a trance, and purports to leave their body allowing a spirit entity to borrow it and then speak through them. [30] When in a trance the medium appears to enter into a cataleptic state, [31] although modern channelers may not. [ citation needed] Some channelers open the eyes when channeling, and remain able to walk and behave normally. The rhythm and the intonation of the voice may also change completely. [31] The medium receives energy and change physically and then become aware of the change that has happened. This can be physical phenomena – things in the room being moved, changes are visible to all Rodger Anderson. (2006). Psychics, Sensitives and Somnambules. McFarland & Company. p. 90.

If you don’t feel like you are ready yet, there are a few different options for you to explore. First of all, you can work on opening your Psychic Clair Senses. I have a great program to help youopen your Psychic Clair Senses in my program for Lightworkers, Intuitive Expansion. As a psychic medium, I always prioritize treating both the living and the spirits with the utmost respect and kindness. Ann O'Delia Diss Debar ("One of the most extraordinary fake mediums... the world has ever known" -Houdini) However, I also believe it’s essential to keep an open mind as we explore the mysteries of life and the universe.Wood, Matthew (2007).

It helps me avoid falling into the trap of giving wrong or harmful information just to make someone happy.
Information achieved through trance mediumship should demonstrate a living intelligence extraneous to the medium’s own understanding. When the blending between spirit and medium is so close and at-one through many years of co-operation on both sides, then the spirit world almost take over the mind (with the medium’s) consent and the motor control (through the nervous system) can make it possible to move around to show the relationship and trust between medium and spirit.

The Austrian medium Rudi Schneider was investigated in 1924 by the physicists Stefan Meyer and Karl Przibram. They caught Rudi freeing his arm in a series of séances. [140] Rudi claimed he could levitate objects but according to Harry Price a photograph taken on April 28, 1932, showed that Rudi had managed to free his arm to move a handkerchief from the table. [141] According to Warren Jay Vinton, Schneider was an expert at freeing himself from control in the séance room. [142] Oliver Gatty and Theodore Besterman who tested Schneider concluded that in their tests there was "no good evidence that Rudi Schneider possesses supernormal powers." [143]
There would be a strong influence of spirit upon the medium’s mind. The medium would be capable of achieving an altered state of consciousness* and blending with a discarnate personality would be evident. The spirit control would be able to speak through the medium for perhaps only a short period of time. The spirit control would be witnessed by onlookers objectively or subjectively through their clairvoyant vision or by sensing atmospheric changes clairsentiently. In 1876, William Eglinton was exposed as a fraud when the psychical researcher Thomas Colley seized a "spirit" materialization in his séance and cut off a portion of its cloak. It was discovered that the cut piece matched a cloth found in Eglinton's suitcase. [82] Colley also pulled the beard off the materialization and it was revealed to be a fake, the same as another one found in the suitcase of Eglinton. [83] In 1880 in a séance a spirit named "Yohlande" materialized, a sitter grabbed it and was revealed to be the medium Mme. d'Esperance herself. [84] Paul Kurtz. (1985). A Skeptic's Handbook of Parapsychology. Prometheus Books. p. 29. ISBN 978-0-87975-300-9 "Florence Cook was caught cheating not only before her séances with Crookes but also afterward. Furthermore, she learned her trade from the mediums Frank Herne and Charles Williams, who were notorious for their cheating." Also see M. Lamar Keene. (1997). The Psychic Mafia. Prometheus Books. p. 64. ISBN 978-1-57392-161-9 "The most famous of materialization mediums, Florence Cook – though she managed to convince a scientist, Sir William Crookes, that she was genuine – was repeatedly exposed in fraud. Florence had been trained in the arts of the séance by Frank Herne, a well-known physical medium whose materializations were grabbed on more than one occasion and found to be the medium himself." Trance healing is where a trance medium channels spiritual energy directly into the patient, also known as psychic surgery. Massimo Polidoro. (2000).
