For many who feel called to the path of mediumship, one of the first questions that arises is:
“How does spirit communication actually work?”
It’s a beautiful and deeply sacred process, one that blends energy, frequency, and love. At its core, mediumship is not about seeing ghosts or hearing voices in the way movies portray it. It’s about attuning yourself to the subtle frequencies of the Spirit world and becoming a clear channel for communication between worlds.
Spirit Is Energy and Energy Is Frequency
Everything in existence is made up of energy, including you, me, and those who have crossed into the Spirit world. When a person leaves their physical body, their consciousness doesn’t disappear. Instead, it transitions into a higher vibrational form of energy. Think of Spirit as existing on a higher frequency, like a radio station that’s always broadcasting love, wisdom, and healing. As mediums, our job is to learn how to tune in to that frequency. This is why practices like meditation, sitting in the power, and grounding are so important. They help you quiet the noise of the physical world and raise your vibration so that you can meet Spirit halfway. The clearer and calmer your own energy, the easier it becomes to sense, feel, or hear Spirit’s communication.
You Are the Telephone Between Two Worlds
One of the best metaphors for mediumship is that of a telephone line. Spirit is on one end, and the sitter (the person receiving the message) is on the other. The medium is the line that connects them.
When Spirit wants to communicate, they lower their vibration slightly. You, as the medium, raise yours. The meeting point, that harmonious middle ground, is where the communication happens.
This exchange doesn’t rely on words or language the way humans speak.
It’s telepathic and energetic, translated through your own psychic senses, known as the clairs:
Clairvoyance – seeing symbols, visions, or images
Clairaudience – hearing words, sounds, or tones
Clairsentience – feeling emotions or sensations in your body
Claircognizance – knowing information intuitively without knowing how
As a medium, you receive impressions and then interpret them into human language, allowing Spirit’s message to flow through you in a way that’s clear and healing for the recipient.
Developing the Sensitivity to Spirit’s Frequency
Like learning a musical instrument, communicating with Spirit takes patience, practice, and consistency. Spirit communication doesn’t come from force; it comes from surrender.
Here are a few simple ways to strengthen your sensitivity to Spirit’s frequency:
Sitting in the Power – Spend quiet time each day connecting with your own soul energy. This builds your inner strength and awareness.
Meditate Regularly – Meditation raises your vibration and teaches you how to discern subtle energy shifts.
Journal After Practice – Write down sensations, symbols, or feelings that arise. Spirit often uses patterns to teach you their unique language.
Work with a Development Circle – Practicing with others helps refine your interpretation and confidence.
Trust Your First Impression – Spirit communication is fast and subtle; your first thought is usually the right one.
Mediumship Is Love in Motion
At the heart of all mediumship is love. Spirit communication is not about proving the afterlife; it’s about reminding the living that love never dies.
When you open your heart and raise your frequency, you become a bridge between two realms, a voice for Spirit, a comfort for the grieving, and a vessel for healing energy to flow through.
Every message you deliver, no matter how small, carries light. And every time you connect with Spirit, you remind the world that consciousness is eternal and that our loved ones are only a vibration away.
Spirit communication is not reserved for a chosen few; it’s a natural ability that lives within all of us. The more you understand energy and frequency, the more you’ll realize that mediumship is simply the art of remembering how to listen beyond the physical. You are the telephone between two worlds, and when you answer the call with love, Spirit always responds.
