Spiritualist Medium: One has a working relationship with a Spirit Guide, but believes in the philosophy and/or principles of Spiritualism, and generally has their faith based in God. Spirit Medium: One who receives information from a Spirit communicator but does not have a working relationship with a Spirit Guide. Also he/she does not follow Spiritualism, the characters in the TV programmes, ‘The Afterlife’ and ‘Medium’, being prime examples.

Psychic Medium: One who does not have a link with a separate intelligence namely a Spirit communicator, and instead links solely into the energies of people, objects or environments to provide a psychic reading.

The Psychic Senses:
•   Clairvoyance – seeing images given by Spirit or psychically interpreting energies of an object etc;
•   Clairsentience – sensing Spirit or psychically sensing the energy imprints of an object etc;
•   Clairaudience – hearing Spirit and on a psychic level thoughts suddenly pop in to the mind like the phone or     door bell is going to ring (often termed coincidences)

Mental Mediumship can be:
•   Subjective – perceiving information within the mind, whether with the eyes opened or closed
•   Objective – experiencing actual physical reality

Physical Mediumship is less common than mental mediumship
•   Physical phenomenon such as materialisation and transfiguration is produced by Spirit using the energy of the Medium. Everyone present during the demonstration should be seeing/hearing exactly the same physical changes to the Medium, because people can see changes clairvoyantly and the latter is not actually physical phenomenon. The physical phenomenon produced by Spirit should have some relevance to someone at the demonstration.

Some forms of Mediumship:
•   Clairvoyance

•   Psychic Art
•   Inspirational writing
•   Transfiguration (physical mediumship)
•   Direct voice (physical mediumship)
