Guidance when going to see a medium for a private
sitting.
A private sittings is a form of spirit communication,
similar as you can see demonstrated in SNU churches. The
difference being that this spirit communication is done one-to-one and in private.
Private sittings allow more time and the medium can go into greater depth
and give personal information from the spirit world.
Spiritualists know that attempts to communicate with spirit are, by there
very nature, experimental and results can never be guaranteed.
Most people are happy with their sitting and they receive information that
could only have originated from people in the spirit world. However, if the
medium is unable to link with your spirit loved ones, or if you are unsatisfied
with a private sitting, then you can request a refund of any fee paid.
Spiritualist mediums aim for a private sitting to be both evidential in nature and an enjoyable
experience. If, however, you seek a sitting to talk about Spiritualism in general,
if you seek a spiritual assessment or other life guidance, then
you should discuss this with the medium first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have my fortune told?
Spiritualist mediums do not "tell fortunes." What they will do is
attempt to provide you with evidence of the survival of the human soul
after death. Sometimes your spirit friends will give their opinions and
advice to help you in your life but our mediums
avoid giving the sort of information that
'fortune tellers' tend to
give.
Is it frightening?
Because of preconceived ideas and misinformation in the media some find
going to see a medium as worrying. But our mediums will reassure you
that there is nothing to worry about and that spirit communication is a
natural process. The people in the
spirit world who communicate are, in the main, people who knew you and cared for
you when they were alive on earth, there is no reason why you should be
frightened of them.
What if they tell me something I don't want to know?
Generally, your spirit friends and relatives will not tell you anything
that is going to worry or upset you and Spiritualist mediums are taught to be
very careful with the information that they pass on.
Can they tell my future?
Because spirit people are unburdened by physical minds
and material influences, they can sometimes take a much broader and
long-sighted view of the likely outcome of our actions. Then, of course,
they will try to make us aware of these likely situations before they
arise.
Does a medium know everything about me?
The medium generally knows absolutely nothing about you before the sitting
begins. Some mediums will be able to 'sense things psychically'
about you, such as your health, emotional state etc., but during the sitting the medium will only know those facts
about your life that the
spirit people choose to tell them. However, your spirit friends will respect your privacy
and any information of a very private or personal nature will not be revealed, unless
it is important to the communication. Spiritualist mediums keep
absolutely all information they receive as confidential, and much of what they
say is soon forgotten by them after a sitting has ended.
Should I think about the person/people I want
a message from?
You can if you wish, sometimes this can be helpful as the bond of love
between you and your spirit friends can be a strong connecting link. But
Spiritualists stress that there is absolutely no guarantee that a
message from any particular individual will come through. Remember
mediums are completely dependent upon the wishes of the spirit people to
communicate. Mediums cannot "call them up", it is spirit who decide whether to communicate or
not. Generally, concentrating or the desire to have a specific person communicate
is not recommended as it can limit the ability of other spirit people who are there to
talk with you.
Is there anything I can do to make my sitting more
successful?
Keep an open mind. Try not to limit your thoughts to one or two
people, your message could be from anyone you have known, or
even people who passed over before you were born. Be honest with the
medium, if you can't understand a part of your message, say so, and the
medium will try to clarify it for you. Be honest with yourself, don't say
'No' just to be awkward, and don't say 'Yes' just to be helpful. As far as
you can have hopeful, positive and friendly thoughts toward the medium and
those spirit people who do come to communicate to you.
Keep these few simple guidelines in mind, and your sitting
should be an experience to remember.
