LEAVING SPACE IN THE MIND
|| This summary written on 22nd October 2023 - 34 days later
Amanda is a British born medium and subscriber to The Inspired Spirit, who has made her home in the United States. Just before we left for our latest adventures to Lanzarote Amanda contacted me. She wanted to know if I would be able to ask my spirit team to share some reassurances about her son, Ryan. As a caring mother, Amanda was wanting reassurance that her son was on a good path.
I responded to Amanda’s request with a reminder that the spirit world would not be prepared to share anything with me that was personal or deemed to be an invasion of Ryan’s privacy. I further suggested that I would put the question to the spirit team during one of my Lanzarote WFSIW sittings. Today’s session includes the words that were passed to me.
I’m reluctant to class this as a reading, even though it probably is. Let me explain why I feel different. When I’m connecting to spirit normally for a reading, a small part of my own imagination has to be part of the process. Like mediums do, I would interpret the thoughts and often reframe the words into a reference the recipient should understand. All mental mediums do this, it’s part of the process.
When I sat for Ryan words, I treated the session like any other inspired writing session. I wasn’t attuning for mediumship style connections, I was listening only to the speaker in spirit that chose to speak to me. The only rules I had suggested to the speaker was that I did not want to hear stuff that I might somehow have already known from previous conversations with Amanda.
Often, I try to explain that there are subtle differences between a standard style of doing a reading, and sitting for words of inspiration. Even so, of course inspired writing is a form of mediumship. For the purpose of inspired writing, I make a deliberate effort to stay out of the conversation and to only be listening and relaying word for word what is being shared with me.
I know! You correctly might suggest that this is mediumship, no matter how I describe it. But for me there is a subtle difference that I am aware of. It’s in how I don’t allow my mind to become active outside of just transcribing the words.
During the session below, there was a bit of a battle going on in my mind. I was listening to the speaker, who I was connected to as a normal medium connection, while at the same instant trying hard to not allow my own natural mediumship to take over.
No matter how hard I try to explain this to you, you would still be correct in stating that this is mediumship through and through. It is, but I am aware of a very subtle difference and that works for me, whether I’m correct or not, and honestly, whether you believe me or don’t!
Additional Thoughts
At the same time as the speaker was aware of privacy limitations, I was too. So I made extra effort to eliminate any potential queries of a personal nature regarding Ryan. I need not have worried, the spirit speaker would never have breached that condition.
