5 tips for giving details.

Too often mediums gloss over important images received from a communicator. We mediums are not to understand the images we receive, but we should give our best shot at giving a detailed description of the images or objects in order for the recipient to understand them.

Last night in my drop-in practice circle, I asked the mediums to sense a communicator, go to their recipient, then closely examine up to three images received from Spirit. They were to spend a couple of minutes describing one item as thoroughly as possible.

It was the recipient’s job to answer not with “yes/no” replies. Instead, they were to actively listen, take notes, and give neutral replies such as, “Okay/I see/Alright/I hear you.” The link was to last about seven minutes.

The result of this experiment was that the medium felt free to dive into the details of the objects and images, without hearing judging comments from the recipient.

It was freeing for the recipients not to have to immediately reply with “yes/no” as the objects were described and, in fact, as they wrote the descriptions down, they found that the images built up as evidence of the communicator.

In one particular example, the medium was shown a purse. Now, in an average link, a medium will describe the purse using a few words, and then go on to the next thing. However, last night the medium not only gave details about the size, material, color, latch, and decorative features of the purse, but she also was curious enough to look inside and examine the contents.

The recipient later confirmed that she knew exactly who the communicator was by the description of the purse, lipstick, and glasses inside. The other two images received, rosary beads and a cake, further gave evidence of this particular woman in Spirit.

If the medium quickly listed these objects as they appeared, “I see a purse, rosary beads, and a cake” the recipient may have a few ladies in mind and would have to ask for extra information to sort it out. Why ask for extra information when the medium could simply say more about the objects?

Here are five tips on how to give detailed descriptions of objects:

1. Besides describing the obvious (size, color, shape, function) look more deeply into the object, such as a purse, backpack, house, or jewelry box, really anything that can conceal other objects. Then fully describe the contents. If you’re shown a building, go up to the front door and describe that. Open the door and describe the entryway, and go as far as you can with your architectural tour.
2. Feel into the emotions or a memory associated with the object, but don’t wander away! Stay focused on what it means for the recipient. I gave an example by fully describing a demitasse teacup and was shown a memory of it being used by a grandmother at a holiday dinner table, but she used it to sip sherry, not tea. One of the mediums in our circle last night accurately described the recipient’s childhood bicycle and talked of the sense of freedom it gave her.
3. Use all of your senses. Many mediums have the tendency to move on quickly but do resist the temptation to hurry. Relax into it. Even if the object that arises in your awareness feels hard to grasp, do your best to articulate what it is exactly. Only move on once you have said all there is to say about that object.
4. Allow yourself two minutes to describe something fully before going into the emotions or meaning behind the object as it relates to the communicator. Doing this will enable you to bring to life a specific piece of evidence that may be all the recipient needs to hear to know who is connecting with them.
5. Practice noticing more details in your day-to-day life so you will feel comfortable examining and describing objects from Spirit communicators. Expand your vocabulary to include more types of fabrics, kinds of surfaces, unusual colors, and how to describe textures, smells, tastes.

I hope you get a chance to practice this experiment and if you do, please let me know how it goes!
