There are way more mediums who have no idea they are mediums than there are mediums that are practicing mediumship professionally and publicly.
Believe it or not, there are lots of people who can connect with Spirit daily and may not even have any idea.
I used to be one of those people for about 20 years, and you may be one of them too.
Mediumship, the ability to connect with Spirit for yourself and others, is a natural ability, inherent to us all.
Being a medium is a lot like being a translator, except instead of between two people, you're doing it between two worlds.
Most of us do that just about every day to some extent.
Virtually every day, each of us goes out and practices translating our world and the understanding of it to those around us.
The better you are at this, the more you practice this, and the more empathy and compassion you develop - the better a medium you become.
Empathy, compassion, and good observation are three key ingredients to being a good medium.
Translating the interpretation of our own world and with some intention and effort, bringing messages and world views in for others around us is just one extra step on the ladder.
Some of us already do it for our pets. Some of us do it for people who have lost their ability to speak and communicate. Mothers do it for infants daily.
Taking this inherent ability to perceive the wishes of those around us, and applying it to the non-physical energy around, can be a reasonably straightforward process. So easy, it can shock people when they're first learning.
Mediumship is similar to just becoming good at public relations.
As long as you are someone who acts as the strategic relationship builder and connector between two individuals or groups of individuals, you can be good at working with the Spirit world in doing the same.
We’re all Spirit, and for the most part, we can all communicate with each other.
When we boil it down to this central element - our Spirits - it doesn’t matter if who we communicate is a Spirit with a physical body or without.
So long as our common ground is that we each have Spirits, connecting with those in Spirit on any plane becomes something we can quickly wrap our heads around and accomplish.
There are four different main types of mediumship, and you may receive communication from the non-physical in any of these ways.
Once that information is received, it is then translated into one of our clair-senses, and we can interpret it for others.
After that, below are four tips that can help you improve your ability to clearly connect to the Spirit World.

#4 Mediumship is primarily about heart relationships
Connecting with Spirit is about the relationship that you have between your own Spirit to another.
In developing any healthy relationship, one of the central cores and foundations of that bond is trust - both trusting yourself and trusting in the other core Spirit of that individual.
Developing trust in what you pick up and receive from others and what you know in your own heart - is one of the core elements of connecting with Spirit.
At its central part, mediumship is connecting your Spirit to all of those in the Divine Spirit. The stronger the foundational link, the stronger the connection over time.
Also, as mentioned earlier, two of the key ingredients to being a medium - a conduit between two individuals - are developing (and having) compassion and empathy.
Improving your ability and concern for others and the level of emotion and feeling you have and allow yourself to feel for the world around you more deeply.
Energy and emotion are some of the primary tools of connecting with Spirit.
A regular practice of extending compassion, a rope of Spiritual connection, between yourself and another, is one of the first steps in learning to create an energy bridge, a link between your Spirit and that of another - in both physical and spiritual forms.
#3 Mediumship is about observing the physical
When people begin to notice that Spirit is around them, it’s partly because Spirit is now around them more, usually an effort to get you to see your gifts. And partly because you’ve begun actually seeing and noticing your surroundings.
Usually, the gifts with Spirit open when something in our lives prompts us to see things with new eyes.
Maybe you've gone through a life change over the last year, perhaps something astrologically has shifted in your chart, maybe you've lost someone or something close.
Anything that causes us to stop and re-examine the way we look at everything can increase spiritual awareness.
We are often so wrapped up and busy with our lives that paying attention to subtle signs, cues, and energy shifts is the last thing on our minds.
In the world of Spirit, things are subtle, more gas-like in form, and thus, the result is often out of sight, out of mind.
Beginning to pay attention to the energy shifts and cues in your surroundings are a few of the first steps in connecting with Spirit. Each of us often senses Spirit far before we ever see or hear them.
#2 Mediumship is about fine-tuning your descriptions
Once you learn how to sense those in Spirit and the nature of how Spirit interacts with humans, from here, connecting with Spirit is about fine-tuning the radio to receive better, more precise, and more accurate information.
It’s like once you’ve learned the basic strings and tunes on a guitar, after that, it’s practice, more practice, and developing your own melody.
Learning your style of connecting to Spirit once you have all the pieces and ingredients.
As you fine-tune and hone your abilities, it means you get more control and precise management of when Spirit connects with you and how.
Thus, in the development of your gifts, you may find your peace of mind, life ease, and in general the feeling connectedness to Spirit and yourself dramatically improves.
#1 Mediumship is about continuing to release fear
Releasing your fear of connecting with the Spirit world and what might happen when you do, and speak about it can create a barrier in connection.
Fear of what you might let in, fear of what you might see, fear of what you might hear, are just a few.
Then there are the fears:
You might not be a suitable medium
You say something or are wrong
You get the wrong message
Someone won’t know the spirit coming through
You wouldn’t be able to perform
Your gifts will be taken away
If you develop, it will get worse
If you grow, people will judge you
Lot’s of fears to release, and that’s just the shortlist.
Developing your gifts is not only about releasing your fear of the Spirit World but also releasing your fear of what other people’s opinions are of you and releasing the current beliefs you hold about yourself.
The more you release these judgments, which are blocks to openness, the deeper your connection becomes.

To recap, to enhance a link with spirit
Develop heart relationships
Open up physical observations
Fine-tune and notice how you receive
Release your fears and judgments of self and others
These can all increase your ability to smoothly and safely connect to Spirit.
To be a medium, you don’t have to have years of training, although many mediums, including myself, believe mediumship is an on-going classroom in itself.
There’s no requirement that you saw or felt Spirit, and you have a desire to step into this connection.
You can develop your gifts safely and relatively quickly with a little bit of commitment, a willingness to make changes in your own life and the lives of others, and an open heart.
