That’s the question I had to ask myself. I’ve known for awhile now that I have some kind of ability that all people have but not all have discovered. Whether it’s seeing events to come or an entity that needs attention, I’ve felt a drive to develop those senses. One thing I had to consider before taking on the task of building that gift was whether it would be of benefit to my family and me.
Since my early childhood I’ve known that I wanted to help people in some capacity. To me, it was the reason for our human race as a whole to even be here. (Big thoughts for a little kid!) During my 20’s I was interested in tarot cards and crystals but nothing serious. My thirties were basically filled with starting my family with no time for anything else. It wasn’t until I was in my forties that I felt the need to further my knowledge in ghost hunting and mediumship. The sense that my life mission was not yet fully discovered encouraged me to dig deeper into the idea of being a psychic medium. It certainly helps to have supportive people around you. The experiences you have, you’ll want to talk about. Having the sympathetic ear is valuable. The other side of that is not having support. You’ll have to decide if what you want is important enough to possibly alienate those close to you. I wasn’t sure how my family would take it but I knew I had to be true to myself. Some of them were more supportive than others. The group I have been a part of, IKOPS, has encouraged me to move along with my studies.
Should you develop your medium skills? There is no ONE answer for all people. Do your research online, read books on the subject (Allyson Dubois and James Von Praagh for example), consider the time and energy, and talk to other mediums but most of all…listen to your heart.

October 14th, 2009 at 8:50 am I’ve used several methods. First is the support of a medium in our group IKOPS. Second, read all that you can from other mediums and those who test the mediums. Third check online for sites for developing you skills. I like this one because it starts with the basics… http://spiritualguidancetarot.com/psychicskillsclass/freepsychicskillsbook.pdf.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:37 pm My mother always tells me of how I used to “Make up” stories of seeing ghosts and talking to the dead and telling her about it. She always got scared so she encouraged me to ignore the dreams I have evry night and the things that I saw weren’t real. I am learning now how to use my dreams and not be afraid. Any other suggestiond on howw I can develop what I beleive is my gift?
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:22 am I know that there are groups of people who would be happy to help you do that. Its nice to have people around you who have the same beliefs. Look online and depending on your location try googling medium cirlce development or psychic development cirlce, which should be a free thing. There is a group in Cincinnati,Oh that is having classes to help with meditation and medium development. It’s called Awakenings. I’m sure that there are many such places all over the U.S.
