Exploring the Various Types of Mediumship
and
How to Reach Your Spiritual Potential

Mediumship is an ability inherent in all human beings. We are all mediums in some way, even if we are not always aware of it. The term "medium" comes from Latin and means "medium", serving as a bridge between the spiritual world and the material world.
Let's explore the different types of mediumship and how you can start developing it.


Are We All Mediums?

Yes, we all have some degree of mediumship. However, there are two main types:

 

• Natural Mediumship:This type is a gift acquired through spiritual and moral evolution. People with natural mediumship, like the famous Chico Xavier, have an intrinsic connection with the spiritual world and use their abilities to help others.

• Proof Mediumship: Most mediums fall into this type. This mediumship appears as an opportunity for growth and repayment of karmic debts. Proof mediums can be found in several spiritual and religious traditions, including Umbanda, Candomblé and Kardecism.

Types of Mediumship

There are many types of mediumship, cataloged mainly by Kardecists. Below you will find the most common ones:


1. Psychography

In psychography, the medium's guiding spirit sends messages through writing. The medium gives up control of the arm and hand, allowing the spirit to express itself. Interestingly, the spirit's handwriting may be similar to what he had in life.


2. Clairvoyance

Clearance mediumship allows the medium to see spirits. This ability is rare, and often the vision of spirits occurs for a brief moment. Prudence is essential to validate the authenticity of this mediumship.

3. Hearing

In auditory mediumship, the medium hears the spirits, not through the ears, but through the mind. Communication can be clear enough to distinguish the tone and gender of the spirit. This type of mediumship can also be used by obsessors to interfere in the medium's life, requiring discernment.


4. Intuition

Intuitive mediumship occurs when a spirit transmits thoughts to the medium, influencing their decisions and ideas. Intuition can be a valuable tool, but without caution it can lead to mistakes, especially when malicious spirits try to manipulate the medium.

5. Sensitivity

Sensitive mediums feel the energies around them, whether from people, objects or environments. They can detect the presence of spirits, distinguishing whether they are good or bad, and are very useful in sessions where other types of mediumship are not present.


6. Healing

Healing mediumship allows the medium to channel healing energies without the use of medication. This ability requires significant spiritual elevation, and healing mediums act as conduits to convey comfort and well-being to those in need of physical, emotional, or spiritual healing.

7. Physical Effects

Physical effects mediums are able to provoke manifestations in the material world. This includes moving objects, materializing spirits, and even allowing them to be physically touched. These phenomena occur through the use of the medium's ectoplasm.


8. Incorporation

In incorporation mediumship, the spirit takes total or partial control of the medium's body. This incorporation can be conscious, semi-conscious or unconscious, depending on the degree of control that the spirit exercises. Incorporation is one of the most intense forms of mediumship and requires great preparation.

The Development of Mediumship

Mediumship is a fascinating and powerful skill, which can be developed and improved throughout life. Whatever your type of mediumship, the important thing is to always act with discernment, prudence and respect for the energies and spiritual entities with which you interact.
