"When I was first made aware of my mediumship, I had no idea of the long, hard road of discipline, learning, testing, and humility I would have to travel to develop my natural sensitivity." - 'Medium', Ena Twigg, Allen and Co., 1972. ⭐ I think many people assume that some people are born with fully formed mediumship abilities. Although some people are more sensitive than others - just like some are naturally more athletic, musical, or mathematically inclined - mediumship takes hard work. You constantly have to practice, refine your skills of awareness and, the hardest, open yourself up for constructive feedback from sitters, mentors, classmates. Within the Western tradition, mediumship, specifically, needs to be evidential: In other words, the sitter needs to confirm (or not) the information that you bring forth. And it needs to be specific - far more than simply "I sense a grandfather in the spirit world" 😅. It is an important lesson in humility, especially. The biggest lesson, for me, has been to trust and understand what I receive. To discern the difference between my imagination and not-my-imagination, between my natural left-brain affinity for storytellint vs impressions from Spirit. You cannot do this work if you are not humble and willing to be corrected. It is sometimes pretty hard on the ego! But what has carried me through is my genuine, insatiable curiosity and excitement about the immaterial world, and the feeling in my heart that what I'm doing is right. And that there is a Light out there that shines in my heart too. You cannot do this work if your only goal is to gain hangers-on, brag about your abilities, or present yourself as some kind of enlightened influencer.
