Psychic News The independent voice of Spiritualism

Clairvoyance, Compassion and Congregations
 
Anji Wylde on the vital importance of compassion in mediumship, and why “the medium will always be the organ grinder and not the monkey”.

I’m sure most of us would agree that the cornerstone of Spiritualism is spirit communication. Without it, Spiritualism would be only a faith and not the incredible truth we share as Spiritualists. Clairvoyance, along with other mediumistic faculties, offers comforting knowledge to those who seek to bridge the gap, however briefly, between this world and the next.

Mediumship in our churches and centres provides much-needed healing for the bereaved, and is generally the reason why people are drawn to what I believe is the most miraculous phenomenon imaginable. Even just a brief moment of evidential communication can bring overwhelming joy and peace, simply from knowing that a loved one is still with us. For a lot of people a message can be a life-changing experience; it can bolster an existing faith, or replace terrible despair with hope and comfort.
