The very act of you reading this article means that you are ready to begin connecting with Spirit. In fact, you may be more ready than you think. You may have even begun to enter the first stages of connecting with Spirit and awakening your gifts.

Perhaps coincidences have started to happen, books may have found themselves in your path, or you’ve started meeting some very interesting people.

You enjoy learning, opening up to new knowledge, and consider yourself the creative type. You are an honest person who can recognize higher wisdom when they see it, and you possess dedication and enthusiasm for life.

You're in-tune with the needs of others, compassionate, and have the ability to see the ‘true soul’ behind all people's masks.

These are qualities that make you naturally open to connecting with Spirit.

NOW it is time to learn the tools to connect.

To begin connecting with Spirit, and follow these steps:

5 Steps To Improve Your Mediumship Abilities

1. Set an intention

In order to get what you want, it’s important for you to identify what that is.

What is the purpose for you to develop your spiritual gifts?

To have a better idea of your soul’s purpose? To gain access to Divine Guidance whenever you want it? Do you want to connect with Angels, Guides, or Deceased Loved Ones on the Other Side?

Do you want to teach others? Do you want to help people heal with spiritual assistance? Do you want to intuitively read others? Do you simply want to remove self doubt and fear?

Whatever your intention is, write it down, and officially decide for yourself. Your Spirit Guides and Angels will then know what they can do to help you best move forward.

2. Release your doubts

Many of us believe that we don’t have the ability to connect with Spirit or to have intuitive abilities. We all have intuitive abilities, however, if you are anything like me, you were taught growing up – to not trust the intuitive information you received.

Walked in on a fight between your parents, and was told that everything was just fine when it clearly wasn’t? You questioned yourself then.

We're receiving intuitive information from people all the time and to protect themselves some people mask it. Learning how to trust it and see beyond the masks is where we must begin again.

3. Announce that you're open to receive

Once you have decided that you intend to open up your spiritual gifts and that you trust the information that you receive, let everyone know you are open for business.

Many Guides will hold off on someone's development until explicit permission to begin is given. This is done to assure the utmost respect for your boundaries is always held.

Verbally tell the Universe that you are ready and willing to connect.

4. Protect yourself

While many beings and energies you will encounter on your journey will be positive, loving and compassionate, this won’t always be the case. You may encounter lower energies – and for this it’s important to learn how to protect, shield, and release these energies from yourself.

Use a White Light Shield or Golden Spiritual Energy.

Once you learn the basics of Psychic Protection, and find a few techniques you like, you’ll start feeling more in control of your spiritual development, more at ease on your life path, and better able to manage un-balanced energetic situations, emotions, and locations in your life.

5. Build a foundation of knowledge

Read any and all books you can find on the subjects that interest you (check out my psychic development reading list).

Seek out like-minded people, friends, and co-workers.

Join a message board, a class, or an intuitive development group.

Sign up for courses, online, distance classes, or in person.

Do something intuitive every day.

As you continue to develop your knowledge, you will begin to explore the variety of ways that your spiritual gifts could manifest – perhaps you are skilled at connecting with Spirit Guides or Angels, maybe you are a skilled card reader or begin working with oracle cards or a pendulum.

Explore psychometry, numerology, tarot, channeling, reiki, shamanistic healing, or scrying -

Be intuitively guided.
