How to Sit for Spirit - a meditation guide for spirit communication.
 Psychic Medium Craig Hamilton-Parker talks about meditation techniques and specifically how to meditate for mediumistic development.
SITTING FOR SPIRIT
When the mind is still it becomes like a pool that ripples when even the smallest petal lands on its surface. This inner stillness gives the spirit people the opportunity to communicate with you directly. They send you a thought and you will be aware of it rippling across the surface of your consciousness. Just as you are aware of your own thoughts and can observe them so now you are aware of thoughts coming from outside of yourself.
The spirit guides and helpers will not take you over against your will or force themselves upon you. Only once you have given your consent will they will begin the inner communication and will only progress gently and at your pace. They do not jump into you or have you spitting green slime at the ceiling. If at any stage you feel uncomfortable, just ask them to step back and they will do so immediately.
Working with the spirit is a partnership. At no time is a medium overshadowed to the point that they are out of control or loose their sense of what is right or wrong. You may be in a highly receptive state but it is always you who is in the driving seat.
The spirits communicate in many ways and the experience may differ from person to person. Sometimes I have the feeling that a thought has been given to me like an idea from out of the blue. Sometimes I may see pictures that describe an idea in a symbolic way; occasionally I sense inner sounds but most of the time my meditations are accompanied by a blissful feeling of being enveloped in the love and compassion of the spirit. We are truly blessed to be honoured by the advanced souls who have come to help us.
For me the clarity of inner spiritual rapport comes when I realise that I am having an inner dialogue with the spirit communicators. This happens spontaneously and in my own case, I have noticed that it often follows a period of sleepiness that sometimes follows the initial alertness of the initial meditation. It is an inner dialogue is not with myself but with a real spirit person who can tell me things that can be verified later. Having worked as a medium for many years it is clear to me which are my own thoughts and which have been given to me by the spirit. The novice medium will initially find it hard to make this distinction and sometimes muddle their own thought up with those from outside of themselves. With experience you will learn to identify which are your own thoughts and those coming to you from another source.
With practice, you will learn to observe not only your own thoughts but also thoughts that are not your own. The stillness of meditation is the place to begin this work. You will learn by inner observation to recognise the spirit thoughts and eventually be able to engage in a dialogue with the spirit friends. At first this will be during meditation but as your skill increases you will eventually be able to recognise spirit thoughts during normal awareness and particularly when you are demonstrating your skills as a medium.
AUTHOR'S COMMENT: In my book Opening to the Other Side I follow the above meditation techniques with information about how to communicate firstly with your spirit guides and then eventually with the spirit world. I explain how to set up and run your own circle and how to take your first steps to become a demonstrating medium. BUY THE BOOK
