Signs of sensitivity
(OMTimes) Explore the signs of mediumistic sensitivity from psychography to physical effects and discover the fascinating world of mediumship and its diverse manifestations.
Signs of sensitivity: understanding the different types of mediumship
Based on the theoretical foundation established and disseminated by educator and researcher Allan Kardec, the Spiritualist doctrine delves deeply into the types and manifestations a physical body can exhibit when in contact with disembodied spirits. An example is psychography (1), a form of mediumship where the medium receives and writes messages from Spirits.
Types of mediumships in a sensitive body
Manifested by various individuals, mediumship is presented in several ways. It is recognized based on signs observed in individuals sensitive to the presence of spirits. The types of mediumships are diverse and segmented into intricate categories, detailed in the Spiritualist compendium called “The Book of Mediums.”
The sensitive trait can manifest physically, intuitively, visually, audibly, and more. It is often identified in mediums based on signs typically observed during childhood.
Let’s delve into the main types of mediumships found in a sensitive body.
Physical effects and material phenomena
Mediums can produce material phenomena, such as moving inanimate objects, creating noises, or overt manifestations. This category includes facultative mediums, aware of the phenomena they produce, and involuntary or natural mediums, used by spirits and unaware of their capabilities.
Sensitives or impressionables
As the category suggests, these mediums are sensitive to the presence of spirits, often through a vague impression. Some can even discern the spirit’s individuality and nature (good or evil).
Audient or clairaudient mediums
These mediums hear the voices of spirits wishing to communicate. They might hear an internal or external voice, clear and distinct as if listening to a living person.
Seers or clairvoyants
Contrary to popular belief, clairvoyance in this context doesn’t relate to foreseeing the future but to the ability to see spirits, either with open or closed eyes.
Psychophonic mediums
Through speech, spirits communicate by coupling their perispirit with that of the medium.
Healing power
A debated ability, even within spiritual circles, healing mediums can heal through touch, gesture, or mere gaze, all due to the magnetism their spiritual sensitivity emits.
Mechanical mediums
This mediumship manifests through objects in the medium’s hands. Items like baskets or pencils might be moved or thrown, depending on the spirit’s nature and evolution level. Psychographic mediums also fall into this category.
Intuitive mediums
These mediums act through thought transmission between the disembodied and embodied spirit. Spirit guides rely upon the medium to express their desires, serving as a conduit between the spirit and the conveyed message.
Inspired mediums
The most spontaneous mediums often struggle to distinguish their thoughts from suggestions given by spirits. In this type of mediumship, the spirits act as guardian angels, guiding, advising, and making their presence felt, especially when something is amiss.
How to identify signs of mediumistic sensitivity?
Mediumistic sensitivity varies and can manifest at different life stages and intensities. But it might surface in adulthood or even old age for others. Typically, mediumship develops more readily in individuals with heightened mental and sensory sensitivity.
Some signs of mediumistic manifestation include:
- Excessive sweating in areas like hands and armpits and cold feet.
- Ability to control events in dreams (easy access to lucid dreaming).
- Capacity to feel others’ pain and negative or positive vibrations from people or places.
- Seeing or sensing presences that seem non-existent in the environment.
- Discomfort in crowds.
- Frequent and sudden mood swings.
- Unexplained antipathies.
- Feelings of anguish, emptiness, and lack of understanding from others.
These and other symptoms are typical in an individual showing initial signs of mediumship, which initially manifests in a state of imbalance. This is because the medium might not yet be familiar with the doctrine to understand its nature and act appropriately to achieve balance.
