I hope this book will remain your companion throughout your journey to become a full-fledged medium. Continue to put the practices and exercises to good use. And always remember, just as when you learn to play the guitar, you are going to hit bum notes in your developing mediumship. Do not let those moments discourage you. Be willing to take risks and make mistakes, and know that you will perfect your skills with practice.
Find a development circle or start a home circle. Take classes or workshops with qualified teachers. If you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, start an online group, such as through Meetup or Yahoo. It’s definitely possible to successfully meditate with others over the telephone or Skype once a week. I offer long-distance development circles via conference call for those who are unable to attend my circles in the Washington, DC area.
Please realize that over time as you unfold your abilities, more spirit people will be drawn to your inner spiritual light. On extremely rare occasions you could encounter a spirit person who is stuck on the lower astral realms and needs help reuniting with his or her spirit loved ones.
This has happened to me a couple of times and it is nothing to worry about. It is similar to encountering a person in the physical realm who got lost and is asking for directions. It is important to realize that a stuck spirit person is generally not evil. There are many reasons why a spirit person can unwittingly get stuck. You will find the tools that you need to help such a person in appendix A, “Earthbound Spirits and Conducting Spirit Rescue.”
Please know there are experienced mediums who can assist you, if needed. The silver lining to these moments is that you can help people on both sides of the veil.
The path of the medium is a lifelong journey. It allows you to be a light in the life of others and to help them through some of life’s rough patches. It gives you glimpses of eternity that will often make your daily concerns seem very small and very manageable. Ultimately, first-hand knowledge of the continuity of life beyond physical death will help you lead a good, purposeful, and meaningful life.
I wish you all the best with many blessings on your journey.
