The mysterious blackout during a mediumship reading—that moment when everything goes blank—is one of the most misunderstood experiences for spiritual practitioners. Far from being a failure, these moments carry profound significance when properly interpreted.
Beginning mediums often encounter blackouts due to energy depletion. Like building any muscle, your capacity to maintain spirit's vibration strengthens with practice. What starts as a five-minute connection gradually extends to twenty, thirty, or even sixty minutes as your energetic stamina develops. When the connection fades, it's rarely because spirit has departed—your energetic bandwidth has simply reached its temporary limit.
The analytical mind presents another common barrier. When your brain shifts from receiving to analyzing information, your vibration naturally lowers, disconnecting you from spirit. The remedy requires mental discipline: gently push your thinking mind aside and return to that receptive state where clear communication flows. For more experienced practitioners, silence often signals something significant—perhaps difficult information is forthcoming, or the spirit's personality is being expressed through their communication style. The blackness itself contains messages when you learn to feel into its emotional quality.
What makes mediumship both challenging and beautiful is its deeply personal nature. While universal principles exist, each medium develops their own unique "language" with spirit. Through practice, journaling, and reflection, you'll discover the patterns in your specific connection. When confronted with silence or darkness, approach it with curiosity rather than alarm. That black box isn't empty—it's a gift waiting to be unwrapped, a message seeking interpretation through your unique spiritual lens.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello there, welcome back.
To empower your soul.
Today is a requested topic frommy dear mediumship mastermind,
diva.
I want to call you a divabecause you're so funny and so
fun.
Carol, who asked what should youdo in a mediumship reading if
it starts to go blank or black?
(00:21):
And it's such a good questionand I think it's so interesting
this question, because there'sso many answers at so many
different levels.
So I'm going to talk aboutbeginners.
What does it look like whensomething goes black?
What should you do?
We can talk about likeintermediate and then advanced
as well, because there's manydifferent reasons why the
communication with spiritseemingly stops in the middle of
(00:44):
a reading.
So this is for all levels outthere, and that's this is why I
love working with spirit,because there's so many
different things.
And when I explained today andmy, these are my personal
experiences and you might have adifferent one, so write in,
tell me about it.
Podcast at medium Nicole calm.
So when you are in a mediumshipreading and it starts going
(01:04):
blank, if you are a beginner,there can be a couple things
that happen.
Number one can be that when youare beginning the process of
mediumship, it takes a lot ofenergy to learn how to connect
with spirit.
It's not hard, but it's almostlike you have to get used to
sitting in the vibration ofspirit.
(01:25):
So if you are doing this allthe time, you might find that
you essentially run out of gas,you run out of energy to connect
with spirit and so thatconnection essentially gets
disconnected because you are sotired, you've been practicing a
lot and or you just can't holdthat connection for a really
(01:45):
long time.
And I want you to know that iscompletely normal.
I promise you, maybe in all ofthese circumstances, spirit
didn't walk away, spirit didn'tgo anywhere.
But you need to recognize kindof which of these is most true
for you, and you'll know thatbecause you'll just feel, you'll
feel it, you'll be like, oh,that was it, that was what
(02:07):
happened, so, yeah, so the mostcommon problem for beginners is
that you just, you just can'tstay connected that long, and
it's like building a muscle,it's like going to the gym.
You need to start with the verylighter weights.
You're going to start with veryshort practice sessions five
minutes, 10 minutes and then, asyou do more and more of this
work, you can start holding,holding that connection with
spirit for 20 minutes, for 30minutes, for 45, for an hour.
(02:30):
I mean I've freaking read forthree and a half hours before,
right, like it's just a musclethat you have to learn to build
how to stay in that connection.
Not hard, but it's likemarathon training, it just takes
a little bit of time.
So number one is just you've runout of energy.
Number two is that you havelowered your vibration.
(02:50):
Now this is different to me,because when you run out of
energy, you run out of energy,like you just can't connect
anymore.
This is like I need to stop, Ineed to rest before I try this
again.
But the second one I'm talkingabout is you are still there,
you still have energy to connect, but it's gone blank 10 times
out of 10.
Sorry, I'm going to do 99.9% ofthe time.
(03:14):
For beginners and intermediate.
All this means is that yourbrain got in the way Most of the
time, and when your brain getsin the way and your brain starts
to try to analyze theinformation that you're
receiving from spirit, yourbrain and your ego turns on and
your intuition kind of takes abackseat.
(03:34):
And so when that brain and thatego turns on, welcome back to
the physical vibration, welcomeback to the reality of mother
earth.
You are no longer as greatlyconnected to spirit as you just
were a moment ago.
Now again, spirit is there.
So all you have to do isessentially push your brain
(03:55):
aside, turn off that thinkingbrain, make things blank again
and connect back to spirit likeyou do at the beginning of your
reading and stop freakingthinking.
Okay, like I know.
I know, I know it's really hardto do as a medium, but we do
have to kind of stop our brainfrom trying to take over.
(04:17):
And that again, is one of thebiggest problems that we as
mediums face.
I still face it today becausewe need to be able to turn off
our brain to receive from spirit.
So as soon as you turn yourbrain on, you're no longer
receiving from spirit.
You're in your head, you're notconnecting.
So if that happens, I really doadvise my students take your
brain literally, push it to theside it's just like meditation
(04:38):
everybody and just reconnectwith spirit, make your mind
blank and ask spirit to step inagain.
So that's kind of advice.
Number two like to be or to to ato be.
The side thing I want to say issometimes as well, and we're
getting into a little bit ofintermediate territory here.
(04:59):
Your brain can think and youmight be wondering what's next.
So maybe you got this feelingfrom a dead uncle that he died
of cancer and you're like, okay,what kind of cancer?
How old was he?
Was he in the hospital?
Was it a long passing or was ita very quick passing?
(05:20):
So you're actually likethinking about things he just
said and you're trying to getinto like, okay, so I want to
know what's next and you startreaching for the information.
Now, keep in mind, mediumship isreceiving and so when you start
thinking about questions andyou start reaching out to grab
(05:44):
the information, that turnsmediumship into psychic.
And for me personally, my teamflags that for me by either
shutting off the transmission ofinformation, so they'll stop
the connection for me and tellme, nope, you're not allowed to
do that and or they will give mefalse information.
(06:07):
So I guess this is more of a 2A, when I'm getting yes, yes, yes
, yes, and then I start gettingno, no, no, no, and the
connection is just the same orcrystal clear and I feel like
I'm getting it.
I know they're feeding me badinformation because I'm reading
it incorrectly and that's how myteam keeps me honest that this
is mediumship.
I am not reaching forinformation.
(06:28):
I am receiving a communicationand giving it to you and I know
that doesn't seem like, oh, herewe go, rabbit hole.
This doesn't seem like a bigdeal, I think, for a lot of
people, but for me it's huge.
For me, this is about theintegrity of mediumship versus
psychic, because how many of youget your news from biased
(06:54):
sources?
Well, let me see if I can saythat.
How many of you go afterpurposely biased news sources
because you want to hear it acertain way?
That to me is like psychic.
I'm going to go and I'm goingto get the information that I
want, and I'm going to go getthe information that I expect
and I'm going to report on thatinformation back to you, whereas
mediumship is, I'm just goingto open it up and whatever the
(07:15):
news is is what the news is.
I don't care if it's good, Idon't care if it's bad, I'm
still going to receive that andgive it to you.
So, to me, mediumship andstaying in this receiving mode
is the most ethical way to getunbiased information from spirit
and allows me the clearest pathto deliver what spirit wants me
(07:36):
to deliver, essentially.
So there was.
There was my little rabbit holefor a moment there.
So, yes, so when, when mypersonally, when the information
for me goes blank and or itstarts going completely wrong,
even though it looks crystalclear, that's my cue I'm in the
wrong vibration, I'm in psychicand I'm not in mediumship.
So that's.
I mean, that's a little bonusone that I don't think happens
(07:56):
to a lot of people, but ithappens to me.
Maybe it happens to you.
That'd be cool.
Um, as we move forward intomaybe some of the more
intermediate, slash, advancedreasons why a reading might go
blank and this is actually fromanother woman in the mediumship
course Jess, hey Jess.
Hey girl, hey Carol, hey Jess.
(08:18):
And from her perspective and Ilove that she shared this with
the group, I hope you don't mindme stealing your thunder, jess
she identified that the readingcan start to slow down or pause
when it has something to do withthe personality of the sitter.
(08:39):
And I think this is big becauseI didn't I personally didn't
even think about this.
So thank you for sharing thiswith the group, jess.
This is what the mastermind isall about Everyone's different
perspectives.
Because from her perspective,when, when a spirit goes quiet,
she knows something big is aboutto happen.
She knows something, um,something not great about the
(09:01):
spirit, not great about therelationship generally.
That's kind of her cue, thatsomething bad is about to be
said, something that they're nothappy with or they're not proud
of in their lifetime.
So that might just be anenergetic vibration reset for
this, for you as the medium, toknow kind of what's coming
through next, because you will.
It's like it's it's.
It's the energetic equivalentof hey, do you have a minute?
(09:24):
Like that's what it is.
The pause is, hey, do you havea minute.
So pay attention to that ifyou're getting that energetic
pause from spirit.
And then also, I think this isinteresting because for me, if
they're really quiet in thebeginning of a reading, that to
(09:47):
me is always personality.
So pause for effect.
So for me, when, when spiritsstart talking, or I've invited
them in and I can feel themthere, but they're not talking,
that's always a personalitything for me I'm like, okay, so
(10:08):
either they're really shy,they're very quiet, they don't
like talking.
So I'll kind of feel into theenergy of the quietness, because
usually there's a huge messagein the quietness, which is kind
of what Jess was alluding to.
So for those of you that aremore intermediate, advanced, I
would recommend you take thesign of a pause or quietness as
(10:31):
an indicator that spirit hassomething to say to you and you
need to figure out what it is,because I promise you again that
spirit has not gone anywhere.
So feel into the silence Ifit's.
If you see black, feel into theblack color.
What does it feel like?
Is it happy, is it sad?
Right Is it?
Is it anxious, is it nervous,is it angry, like?
(10:56):
Because there's so manydifferent feelings that can come
from not wanting to expresssomething.
And I think that's the commonthread with not getting that
vibration, not getting thatinformation from spirit.
Is that you're they want toexpress something but they can't
, or and or they don't know howto.
But I don't think that's aspirit doesn't know how to.
It's a piece of evidence thatyou need to now figure out.
(11:16):
What's this missing puzzlepiece?
Can you tell me more about this?
And I do have to clarify thatwhen you're feeling into the
energy of the blackness, thatisn't psychic, because they've
already sent you the blacknessand now you're trying to
interpret it.
Now you're trying to interpretthe silence, so you don't want
to hold onto it for too long,because that's when our brain is
(11:37):
going to kick in.
Like I talked about at thebeginning.
You're going to lower yourvibration.
It's not going to go well, butyou can take the blackness and
just put your energy right intoit and say what does it feel
like?
What can I learn from it?
Because it's, it's kind of likea present.
They've given you a present.
It's a black box and you don'tknow what it is yet.
So it's okay to take that blackbox present and be
(12:01):
investigative about it andcurious about it and see where,
where does it lead?
Where are you supposed to go?
What does it?
What does it do?
And then spirit will guide youthrough that to what needs to be
said next.
And so I'm, I'm going to, I'mgoing to challenge everybody and
challenge you, carol inparticular, is that I think
(12:24):
everything I've said todayespecially if you're
intermediate, advanced, likecheck it, see if it makes sense
to you, but don't limit yourselfto what I have explained.
That blackness is that.
That lack of communication isbecause I think it's going to be
different for you and it'sgoing to be different for a lot
of the spirits out there,because there's so much when you
(12:45):
start combining your clairs,there's so much like it's.
It's just like a regularcommunication, right, if someone
says they're happy, but they're, but they're actually crying,
are they?
Are they happy?
Right, like because, as we know, what's on the outside doesn't
(13:05):
necessarily reflect the inside,right?
And just because the energy isblack doesn't always mean it's
bad.
Maybe it's a surprise party.
Actually, that did happen once.
The spirit got me there,because one time it was all
black and then they turned thelights on and they said surprise
.
So it was like a surprisebirthday.
(13:27):
That party that I had to likerelate to my client, right?
So it really can be anythingassociated with it.
So, if so, this really comesdown to how do you feel about it
?
Because if you're, you knowyou're connected and you're
curious and you're starting togo through your other clairs,
(13:48):
that's what you should be doing,right?
If you're a more advancedmedium and you can be like what
am I picking up on here?
What have I seen before?
That reflects this.
If you're newer and you're notsure if that spirit's there, you
need to check your connection.
You need to be like am I at theright vibration?
Do I need to connect again tomake sure I'm at this right
connection and then if you arestill not getting anything after
(14:09):
trying to reset that connection, that's your cue that it's
probably time to rest, and orthat spirit has nothing else to
say, move along to the next oneto rest, and or that spirit has
nothing else to say move alongto the next one.
So it really is an art and notso much a science, with a lot of
this stuff and even as simpleas I'm not getting anything can
have.
I mean, how many 20, 30, 40,infinite answers in terms of
(14:32):
what does that mean for thereading, for the sitter, for the
information that's about tocome in, like, like there's.
There's so many differentdynamics here and honestly, I'll
probably I'm not going to saythis every time, but I would
always encourage you toexperiment.
You can always bring thatspirit back in after you're done
with the sitter and say can youexplain, can you show me again,
(14:53):
could you show it to me in adifferent way?
Because, even if you're next,you know, because I know a lot
of you that do practice sessions, they're fast, they're 8, 10,
15 minutes tops, and you don'talways have time to really go
down the rabbit hole with thespirit, to interpret it, to
really understand it, soup tonuts.
And so you can always call thatspirit back in at the end of
(15:15):
the reading to say tell me more,what did I miss?
How did I do?
Because that is going to be yourkey to learning, including
writing it down and journalingwhat you uncovered, and I think
that's key as well.
It's just like write it down soyou can start tracking and
trending.
I said it, tracking andtrending what you're getting
from spirit, because the morethat you start recognizing the
(15:37):
patterns, the faster it is foryou to learn how spirit
communicates for you, which iswhat mediumship makes what,
which is what I promise I'mgonna have a sip of coffee after
this.
Which is what makes workingwith spirit so difficult is
because we, as mediums, have toinvent essentially our own
(16:00):
language with spirit.
Yes, I mean it is.
There is common threads witheverybody else's mediumship and
how they communicate with spirit, but you are going to have your
own communication with spiritbecause it has to come from your
own brain, it has to come fromyour own energy, and everyone's
energy is like an energeticfingerprint.
(16:21):
It's all different.
So, yeah, so I hope thatanswered your question, carol.
It was a really, really goodone, and if you have any more
questions, I would love toanswer for you.
If you have mediumshipquestions, like I'm all about it
, I will share the wealth.
You just ask me what you wantme to talk about.
I will absolutely talk about it.
Podcast at medium Nicolecom.
Thank you so much, everybody,from my soul to yours, I hope
(16:43):
you have a wonderful day.
Take care.
Hello there, welcome back.
To empower your soul.
Today is a requested topic frommy dear mediumship mastermind,
diva.
I want to call you a divabecause you're so funny and so
fun.
Carol, who asked what should youdo in a mediumship reading if
it starts to go blank or black?
(00:21):
And it's such a good questionand I think it's so interesting
this question, because there'sso many answers at so many
different levels.
So I'm going to talk aboutbeginners.
What does it look like whensomething goes black?
What should you do?
We can talk about likeintermediate and then advanced
as well, because there's manydifferent reasons why the
communication with spiritseemingly stops in the middle of
(00:44):
a reading.
So this is for all levels outthere, and that's this is why I
love working with spirit,because there's so many
different things.
And when I explained today andmy, these are my personal
experiences and you might have adifferent one, so write in,
tell me about it.
Podcast at medium Nicole calm.
So when you are in a mediumshipreading and it starts going
(01:04):
blank, if you are a beginner,there can be a couple things
that happen.
Number one can be that when youare beginning the process of
mediumship, it takes a lot ofenergy to learn how to connect

And I want you to know that iscompletely normal.
I promise you, maybe in all ofthese circumstances, spirit
didn't walk away, spirit didn'tgo anywhere.
But you need to recognize kindof which of these is most true
for you, and you'll know thatbecause you'll just feel, you'll
feel it, you'll be like, oh,that was it, that was what
(02:07):
happened, so, yeah, so the mostcommon problem for beginners is
that you just, you just can'tstay connected that long, and
it's like building a muscle,it's like going to the gym.
You need to start with the verylighter weights.
You're going to start with veryshort practice sessions five
minutes, 10 minutes and then, asyou do more and more of this
work, you can start holding,holding that connection with
spirit for 20 minutes, for 30minutes, for 45, for an hour.
(02:30):
I mean I've freaking read forthree and a half hours before,
right, like it's just a musclethat you have to learn to build
how to stay in that connection.
Not hard, but it's likemarathon training, it just takes
a little bit of time.
So number one is just you've runout of energy.
Number two is that you havelowered your vibration.
(02:50):
Now this is different to me,because when you run out of
energy, you run out of energy,like you just can't connect
anymore.
This is like I need to stop, Ineed to rest before I try this
again.
But the second one I'm talkingabout is you are still there,
you still have energy to connect, but it's gone blank 10 times
out of 10.
Sorry, I'm going to do 99.9% ofthe time.
(03:14):
For beginners and intermediate.
All this means is that yourbrain got in the way Most of the
time, and when your brain getsin the way and your brain starts
to try to analyze theinformation that you're
receiving from spirit, yourbrain and your ego turns on and
your intuition kind of takes abackseat.
(03:34):
And so when that brain and thatego turns on, welcome back to
the physical vibration, welcomeback to the reality of mother
earth.
You are no longer as greatlyconnected to spirit as you just
were a moment ago.
Now again, spirit is there.
So all you have to do isessentially push your brain
(03:55):
aside, turn off that thinkingbrain, make things blank again
and connect back to spirit likeyou do at the beginning of your
reading and stop freakingthinking.
Okay, like I know.
I know, I know it's really hardto do as a medium, but we do
have to kind of stop our brainfrom trying to take over.
(04:17):
And that again, is one of thebiggest problems that we as
mediums face.
I still face it today becausewe need to be able to turn off

So as soon as you turn yourbrain on, you're no longer

So if that happens, I really doadvise my students take your

blank and ask spirit to step inagain.
So that's kind of advice.
Number two like to be or to to ato be.
The side thing I want to say issometimes as well, and we're
getting into a little bit ofintermediate territory here.
(04:59):
Your brain can think and youmight be wondering what's next.

Maybe it happens to you.
That'd be cool.
Um, as we move forward intomaybe some of the more
intermediate, slash, advancedreasons why a reading might go
blank and this is actually fromanother woman in the mediumship
course Jess, hey Jess.
Hey girl, hey Carol, hey Jess.
(08:18):
And from her perspective and Ilove that she shared this with
the group, I hope you don't mindme stealing your thunder, jess
she identified that the readingcan start to slow down or pause
when it has something to do withthe personality of the sitter.
(08:39):
And I think this is big becauseI didn't I personally didn't
even think about this.
So thank you for sharing thiswith the group, jess.
This is what the mastermind isall about Everyone's different
perspectives.
Because from her perspective,when, when a spirit goes quiet,
she knows something big is aboutto happen.
She knows something, um,something not great about the
(09:01):
spirit, not great about therelationship generally.
That's kind of her cue, thatsomething bad is about to be
said, something that they're nothappy with or they're not proud
of in their lifetime.
So that might just be anenergetic vibration reset for
this, for you as the medium, toknow kind of what's coming
through next, because you will.
It's like it's it's.
It's the energetic equivalentof hey, do you have a minute?
(09:24):
Like that's what it is.
The pause is, hey, do you havea minute.
So pay attention to that ifyou're getting that energetic
pause from spirit.
And then also, I think this isinteresting because for me, if
they're really quiet in thebeginning of a reading, that to
(09:47):
me is always personality.
So pause for effect.
So for me, when, when spiritsstart talking, or I've invited
them in and I can feel themthere, but they're not talking,
that's always a personalitything for me I'm like, okay, so
(10:08):
either they're really shy,they're very quiet, they don't
like talking.
So I'll kind of feel into theenergy of the quietness, because
usually there's a huge messagein the quietness, which is kind
of what Jess was alluding to.
So for those of you that aremore intermediate, advanced, I
would recommend you take thesign of a pause or quietness as
(10:31):
an indicator that spirit hassomething to say to you and you
need to figure out what it is,because I promise you again that
spirit has not gone anywhere.
So feel into the silence Ifit's.
If you see black, feel into theblack color.
What does it feel like?
Is it happy, is it sad?
Right Is it?
Is it anxious, is it nervous,is it angry, like?
(10:56):
Because there's so manydifferent feelings that can come
from not wanting to expresssomething.
And I think that's the commonthread with not getting that
vibration, not getting thatinformation from spirit.
Is that you're they want toexpress something but they can't
, or and or they don't know howto.
But I don't think that's aspirit doesn't know how to.
It's a piece of evidence thatyou need to now figure out.
(11:16):
What's this missing puzzlepiece?
Can you tell me more about this?
And I do have to clarify thatwhen you're feeling into the
energy of the blackness, thatisn't psychic, because they've
already sent you the blacknessand now you're trying to
interpret it.
Now you're trying to interpretthe silence, so you don't want
to hold onto it for too long,because that's when our brain is
(11:37):
going to kick in.
Like I talked about at thebeginning.
You're going to lower yourvibration.
It's not going to go well, butyou can take the blackness and
just put your energy right intoit and say what does it feel
like?
What can I learn from it?
Because it's, it's kind of likea present.
They've given you a present.
It's a black box and you don'tknow what it is yet.
So it's okay to take that blackbox present and be
(12:01):
investigative about it andcurious about it and see where,
where does it lead?
Where are you supposed to go?
What does it?
What does it do?
And then spirit will guide youthrough that to what needs to be
said next.
And so I'm, I'm going to, I'mgoing to challenge everybody and
challenge you, carol inparticular, is that I think
(12:24):
everything I've said todayespecially if you're
intermediate, advanced, likecheck it, see if it makes sense
to you, but don't limit yourselfto what I have explained.
That blackness is that.
That lack of communication isbecause I think it's going to be
different for you and it'sgoing to be different for a lot
of the spirits out there,because there's so much when you
(12:45):
start combining your clairs,there's so much like it's.
It's just like a regularcommunication, right, if someone
says they're happy, but they're, but they're actually crying,
are they?
Are they happy?
Right, like because, as we know, what's on the outside doesn't
(13:05):
necessarily reflect the inside,right?
And just because the energy isblack doesn't always mean it's
bad.
Maybe it's a surprise party.
Actually, that did happen once.
The spirit got me there,because one time it was all
black and then they turned thelights on and they said surprise
.
So it was like a surprisebirthday.
(13:27):
That party that I had to likerelate to my client, right?
So it really can be anythingassociated with it.
So, if so, this really comesdown to how do you feel about it
?
Because if you're, you knowyou're connected and you're
curious and you're starting togo through your other clairs,
(13:48):
that's what you should be doing,right?
If you're a more advancedmedium and you can be like what
am I picking up on here?
What have I seen before?
That reflects this.
If you're newer and you're notsure if that spirit's there, you
need to check your connection.
You need to be like am I at theright vibration?
Do I need to connect again tomake sure I'm at this right
connection and then if you arestill not getting anything after
(14:09):
trying to reset that connection, that's your cue that it's
probably time to rest, and orthat spirit has nothing else to
say, move along to the next oneto rest, and or that spirit has
nothing else to say move alongto the next one.
So it really is an art and notso much a science, with a lot of
this stuff and even as simpleas I'm not getting anything can
have.
I mean, how many 20, 30, 40,infinite answers in terms of
(14:32):
what does that mean for thereading, for the sitter, for the
information that's about tocome in, like, like there's.
There's so many differentdynamics here and honestly, I'll
probably I'm not going to saythis every time, but I would
always encourage you toexperiment.
You can always bring thatspirit back in after you're done
with the sitter and say can youexplain, can you show me again,
(14:53):
could you show it to me in adifferent way?
Because, even if you're next,you know, because I know a lot
of you that do practice sessions, they're fast, they're 8, 10,
15 minutes tops, and you don'talways have time to really go
down the rabbit hole with thespirit, to interpret it, to
really understand it, soup tonuts.
And so you can always call thatspirit back in at the end of
(15:15):
the reading to say tell me more,what did I miss?
How did I do?
Because that is going to be yourkey to learning, including
writing it down and journalingwhat you uncovered, and I think
that's key as well.
It's just like write it down soyou can start tracking and
trending.
I said it, tracking andtrending what you're getting
from spirit, because the morethat you start recognizing the
(15:37):
patterns, the faster it is foryou to learn how spirit
communicates for you, which iswhat mediumship makes what,
which is what I promise I'mgonna have a sip of coffee after
this.
Which is what makes workingwith spirit so difficult is
because we, as mediums, have toinvent essentially our own
(16:00):
language with spirit.
Yes, I mean it is.
There is common threads witheverybody else's mediumship and
how they communicate with spirit, but you are going to have your
own communication with spiritbecause it has to come from your
own brain, it has to come fromyour own energy, and everyone's
energy is like an energeticfingerprint.
(16:21):
It's all different.
So, yeah, so I hope thatanswered your question, carol.
It was a really, really goodone, and if you have any more
questions, I would love toanswer for you.
If you have mediumshipquestions, like I'm all about it
, I will share the wealth.
You just ask me what you wantme to talk about.
I will absolutely talk about it.
