Mediumship
Spiritualist mediums are highly sensitive people who have developed their psychic awareness. They are able to communicate with those in the Spirit World that may still wish to communicate with us, just as they would if they had moved to another part of the world.
There are two forms of mediumship: mental and physical. The former is the type normally witnessed in a Spiritualist Church, or Society, or in public demonstrations. The Spirit person works through the medium's mind and he/she is able to see Spirit forms (Clairvoyance), hear Spirit sounds (Clairaudience), or sense Spirit presence (Clairsentience).
Physical mediumship includes materialization, or direct voice - when spirits present themselves in visible form, or speak directly to those whom they
wish to contact.
Some mediums occasionally work in a trance, or controlled state. This ranges from a simple condition, to a deep, unconscious one. The entranced medium is used by a Spirit to deliver an address, or pass on certain information, or ideas, which are often in advance of the medium's knowledge.
Spiritualist mediumship in no way involves fortune telling.
The work of a medium is to prove the reality of survival after so-called death, and to pass on practical help and understanding when needed. Spiritualism is concerned with the way we live, here and now, and the advice given should add meaning and a deeper sense of purpose to life.
The responsibility of the medium is to share what they are receiving. The responsibility of the person receiving the communication is to take what is helpful, and to gently leave the rest to one side. Communications received should never replace common sense; a recipient has the right to accept the message or not, and should accept personal responsibility for their own choices in life.
Psychics or Mediums?
People often confuse these two terms. A psychic is a person who is able to read the energy of another person; a medium is a person who is able to open themselves to contact from departed loved ones. All mediums are psychic. Not all psychics are mediums.
The Spiritualist Society of Barrie focuses upon bringing evidence of survival, and so the emphasis is upon Mediumship.

Personal Responsibility
( a key concept in Spiritualism),
means that each person creates their own reality by their thoughts, words, and deeds.
No message received through a medium should replace personal choice or common sense.
