What is Spiritualism and what does it mean to me?

Spiritualism as a Religion

Spiritualists believe that life does not end with the physical death of the human body. Spiritualist believe in the continued existence of the human soul. That the soul (or Spirit) go to a higher plain of existence called the 'Spirit Realm'.

Spiritualist Churches differ from any other kind of religious establishment by the fact that they are usually places that have been donated by others to be used as a place of worship. Some are even houses that have been adapted for this reason. There are two different kinds of Spiritualist Churches; those that abide by SNU guidelines and those who are independent. The difference in the workings of these churches are; SNU guidelined Churches only allow their Mediums to work Mediumistically (receiving information from Spirit), Non-SNU Churches allow their Mediums to work either Mediumistically or Psychically (receiving information from your energy field(aura)). I am not saying that either church is better than the other What I am saying is that whichever church you choose to attend is entirely personal choice.

Spiritualist believe in the Seven Principles that were given to Emma Hardinge Britten. The Seven Principles are used as a guideline as to the way we choose to live our lives. The Seven Principles do not dictate what we must do or believe. They are open to our own interpretation.

Spiritualist believe that we all have Spirit Guides and Helpers who aid us in our daily lives. Spiritualist believe that these guides and helpers are assigned to us at the time of our conception, and stay with us for the duration of our physical life.

Spiritualist Churches encourage the development of Mediums. They do this by offering 'development circles (or classes)' where developing mediums are guided by qualified mediums in learning how to interpret and understand the subtle changes of energy that are produced by Spirit. By understanding and interpreting these methods Mediums can pass on any information received from Spirit to the sitter, therefore giving proof of the continued existence of the human soul.

What does Spiritualism mean to me?

I believe there is more to Spiritualism and being a Spiritualist than attending church and worshipping a 'God' on high. I believe that Spiritualism is a whole way of life, but I am aware that the way we choose to live our lives is also dependant on the circumstances around us. I can only comment on my own beliefs and experiences but please read on, and as mentioned above, take from this what you want, disregard what you want, and add your own thoughts, beliefs and feeling where you want.

I myself am a Developing Spiritualist Medium, therefore I truly believe in the continued existence of the human soul. But my belief does not only cover the 'human' soul, I believe that all living things have 'souls' and that these also continue after physical death. My perception of the 'soul' does not involve manifestations of people and animals walking about on a different plain to ours. My belief is that we are all 'pure energy' and therefore help to create a great energy force that is constantly being added to, and can be accessed by all.

As a Spiritualist I believe that when our loved ones make contact with us through a Medium, they show themselves not as they truly are in the Spirit Realm (or collective energy force) but as they would be remembered by the recipient (the loved one being contacted). Spiritualist Mediums give proof of which Spirit they are in contact with by giving description of them (sex, height, age, build, etc). If you think about this logically it would not make any sense for my Father (who is in Spirit) to appearing as a sphere of pure energy, I would not recognise him from that. For me to be able to recognise him he would have to appear to the Medium in the form that I knew him.

Until recently I thought that I had come into Spiritualism late in life (at the age of 53) but I now know that this is not strictly true. Spiritualism to me means showing love, compassion, understanding, acceptance and respect for others beliefs and the environment we live in. All of these qualities were taught to me by my parents when I was a child. They may not have known it, but their teachings put me in good stead for the life I am now living - Thank you to both of you. The most memorable event I can remember as a child was the passing to Spirit of my Gran. I was only 10 years old and like everybody else who loses a loved one, I grieved. The strange thing that I remember is that, although I could not physically see my Gran, I knew she could see me and that she would still guide and protect me as she had in life. I also knew that I would meet up with her again some day. I do not know where these beliefs came from, I had never been taught to think this way (also I had never been discouraged in this train of thought), I just knew that this was the way it was.

To me Spiritualism is living your life to the best of your ability. If you can help someone in need, you should. But you should also not be afraid to ask for help yourself. We all need each other in this world, we should not judge others by our standards. Just because we believe in something does not mean that we are right and others are wrong. We are all entitled to our own beliefs, thoughts and feelings. What I believe in is right for me, this does not mean that it is right for you, and vice versa.

It has come to my understanding recently that not only are we made of energy, so are our thoughts. Once we have thought something it is out there in the Universe. With this in mind I have decided that 'if I cannot say it, I will not think it'. I have also decided to try and take the word 'hate' out of my vocabulary. This is a very powerful word and carries with it such negativity. I try to live my life with positive thoughts and actions, there is too much negativity in this world today, I do not need to add to it.

As I have said before, I try to live my life as Spiritually as possible. Of course this is not always easy. Life in general, and circumstances, bring many challenges to our lives. We must face each day, each challenge, as it presents itself. What we must not do is dwell on what 'might' be. Living your life to the best of your abilities is all that anyone can ask of you, or that you can ask of yourself. Please believe me when I say that I am NO Angel. I have doubts and fears like the next person. At the end of the day I am only human and can only do so much, but if I know in my heart that I have done my best under the circumstances, then that is enough for me, and I am the only person I have to answer to.

Spiritual Readings -- Common Questions asked

Q Will I have my fortune told?
A Absolutely not! Spiritualist mediums do not "tell fortunes”. The medium will attempt to provide you with evidence of the survival of the human soul after physical death.
Q Is it frightening?

A Not at all, as spirit communication is a perfectly natural process. The people who may wish to communicate with you from the Spirit World are generally, people who knew you and cared for you when they were alive on earth, and as the personality survives physical death, it makes perfect sense that they will have your best interests at heart.

Q Does a medium know everything about me?

A The medium will not know anything about you before the sitting and will only know what your loved ones from the spirit world wish to convey to you during the sitting. The spirit world will respect your privacy and anything of a very private or personal nature will not be relieved to the medium.
Q Is there anything I can do to make my sitting more successful?

A Keep an open mind. Try not to limit your thoughts to certain people as the communication can be received from anyone that you have known during your lifetime. If you do not understand anything just tell the medium, who will then attempt to clarify it for you.

Physical Mediumship

Most mediums today work by using their own mind as a receiver and then passing messages on verbally. Indeed some very convincing evidence has been given in this way, and though sceptics have often asked why these messages rarely contain details of “Life on the Other Side” there is a simple answer to this. Messages which contain personal details can be verified and proven. But messages about the world of spirit cannot, even if they were to take time explaining their world, do we yet have the capacity to comprehend it? Probably not, but the need for proof goes on. Of course there have been descriptions of the spirit world by spirit communicators, such as those by Silver Birch, Red Cloud, White Eagle and White Feather, but to name a few. But the average person seeking evidence, the personal and trivial details about those we knew are much more convincing.


However, mediumship in the first half of the 20th Century and prior to that, concentrated on producing physical results. Early demonstrations by the Fox Sisters consisted of sounds coming from the walls and floors of their home. Investigators were unable to find a logical explanation for these noises, and so the sisters were further investigated and tested. On one occasion they are reported to have been made to stand on tables covered with feather pillows and their skirts tied up above their ankles. Still the rapping noises were heard and once again no logical explanation could be found. As their mediumship continued other unexplained events were noticed, including objects moving, heavy tables levitating and hands and faces appearing.


In there days such events as table tilting became very popular. This often involved a group of people sitting around a table calling out letters of the alphabet and waiting for the table to tilt when a correct letter was called. It was a slow and cumbersome method and quite easily faked by fraudulent mediums. But even so, some excellent evidence was still achieved.


Perhaps it was the extraordinary talents of Daniel Dunglas Home who was to bring Spiritualism to the recognition of the general public. Materialised forms were often seen around him, hands appeared and melted away. Musical instruments would start playing. Home was also well known for his fetes of levitation. During his séances it was reported that his chair would rise from the floor with him still in it. Home was never found guilty of any fraudulent mediumship, even though like most mediums of the era, was accused of it.


Since the late 19th and early 20th century when physical mediumship came to the very forefront of psychic phenomena, it has dropped off considerable. Now there are few physical mediums and fewer people prepared to give up their time to the dedication that is required to develop this form of medium. It is a long and hard road of selfless commitment, but the rewards are magnificent. Especially, when you finally get physical proof, from a loved one or friend, that life does continue after the death of the physical body.


What makes physical mediumship so unique?


First we need to understand the difference between the physical mediumship and the mental mediumship. This is quite simply that, the mental mediums see, hear and sense everything in their head, or by touch, and then interpret the message received before passing this to the person or client. Mental mediums are able to work anywhere, in broad daylight without the need to be in a trance state. The messages however, are due to interpretation by the medium and the accuracy of these messages will depend on the time and dedication the medium puts in to their development.


The physical medium on the other hand is ‘usually’ in a deep state of trance, is unaware of what is happening around them or to them and so any messages that are brought forward are usually by the mediums guide or the spirit entity directly by way of direct voice or independent direct voice, which means that you are talking to them (the spirit) as you and I would talk in any room, but for them this all takes place in a blacked out séance room, only occasionally and depending on the development of the medium, is a dimmed red light used..



The word ‘’physical’ speaks for its self; anything of a ‘physical’ nature is possible during a physical séance. For example, the movement of objects such as trumpets the playing of instruments, the materialisation of a spirit guide, a loved one or friend. Voices that can be recognised as family members or friends come forward and speak to you, even to the point of holding or shaking your hand, touching you and even kissing your cheek. Although all attempts at touching by sitters is strictly forbidden, except when invited to do so by the controlling spirit guide. (The reason for this will be explained in the next paragraph.)


How are all these things possible?


In a one word explanation; “Ectoplasm”. So what is ectoplasm? Ectoplasm (from the Greek ektos and plasma; exteriorised substance), is a substance that is drawn mainly from the medium, but also the sitters to a lesser degree, which, either by the subconscious self or by discarnate intelligences produce phenomena of a physical order which includes part or full materialisation of spirit entities. What we can say is that ectoplasm is matter, invisible and tangible in the primary state but assumes vaporous, liquid or solid conditions in varying stages of condensation. It emits a smell that is reminds of Ozone or damp and dank clothing. It is known that ectoplasm is drawn from any and every orifice of the medium and them moulded into what ever the spirits require, i.e. a voice box, a rod even a mask for materialisation or transfiguration.


It also believed that the spirit chemists working on the other side with for the medium add other substances to the ectoplasm to make it more pliable and workable in our atmosphere. Without these additions it could not be worked in the same or visible degree.
