The way we relate to people is reflected in our mediumship. I’m an administrator, a mother, an artist and a poet. I’m not an investigative journalist. That’s why I prefer a more natural, lyrical style of imparting information from Spirit over presenting a dry list of facts.
“Who, What, When, Why and How” are the kind of questions to answer when writing news articles, but grilling a Spirit in such a way feels odd to me. As a medium, you may ask Spirit these types of questions, but do so in a natural way as the conversation unfolds.
What I love about spirit communication are the same things I love about talking to people: the joy of greeting someone, sharing information, gaining new insights, hearing fun stories, learning their opinions on matters...just sharing that common thread of being human and how we live our lives.
In order to identify a Spirit person, I prefer listening to Spirit about who they want to speak to and give the recipient a description along with emotional characteristics. Once the ID is made, it’s always beneficial to go deeper into what Spirit presents.
Why should we practice going deeper into information? Only information that is accepted is considered evidence, and the greater detail we provide to the recipient only helps to make the communicator’s identity irrefutable.
It all hangs on the one question mediums often forget to ask Spiri: Why? "Why are you showing me the chipped cup?" “Why is that toy giraffe important?” “Why are you proud?”
Why may feel impertinent to us, especially women, who are told from childhood not to be nosy.
But if you’re nosy, you will bring more information to the table for your recipient. You must keep asking “WHY?”
Try practicing it in conversations with people you know. Of course, asking “why?” may not be appropriate in all cases, but if you hear something you might otherwise let go, go ahead and ask. Then listen. Don’t offer your own spin on the answer.
In a conversation I had with my neighbor Mary over the weekend, she said to me “Short people are always thought to be younger than they are.”
I immediately thought, “Because they’re seen like kids or teenagers?” But I wasn’t happy with my take on it. So, I asked Mary “Why do you think that is?”
She tilted her head and fanned her neck area. “I think it’s because you can’t see their necks,” she said. “Necks give away a person’s age and if you’re looking down on a short person, you can’t see their neck.”
Whether or not this is true is not for me to say. What is important is relating my neighbor’s opinion as she said it, because it reveals her way of thinking as a “short person.”
Excellent times to ask “Why?” would be when presented by Spirit with generalities like silence or a band of color. Instead of interpreting what it means, be nosy. Ask why?
You may say to the recipient:
“Your father is very silent. When I ask why, he says that he fell into a coma before he passed. I asked why he mentions this, and he says he remembers you sitting at his bedside, holding his hand and reading to him...”
“A little boy in spirit wants to say hello, but he’s very quiet. I asked him why, and it’s because you and he played hide-and-seek for hours. I asked why that was so, and he said your house was very crowded and noisy so you played in the woods...”
“Your aunt steps forward and she’s bathed in yellow light. When I wondered why, she showed herself to you in a bright yellow kitchen. I asked why she liked yellow, and she showed how cold and grey it was outside. When I wondered where she lived, she said Ontario....”
One of my favorite reasons to go deeper with Why? is that it cures a common bad habit some mediums fall into by using the phrases like “I don’t know why…” and “For some reason…” If you ever hear yourself saying that, stop immediately and be nosy. Always change it to, “I’ll find out why” instead.
