How do you know that it is Clairvoyance you are getting?

Question 1: How do you know that you are getting the communication from Spirit, and it’s not your own imagination?

Answer: Communication is achieved through general everyday picture references like films and adverts for example, and picture references from your own life experience, what happened on your holiday etc ... and mixture of both of these.

When on the platform we are in a certain ‘mode’ so whatever comes into the thoughts is inspiration, the doubts about a picture reference you are getting being your thoughts or spirit inspiration in the circle meeting can easily be confirmed by asking for a different picture/symbol, a good one I tell my students is to ask for a really outlandish object to come foreword, then, if you get a picture of a purple kangaroo you know that you didn’t think that one up on your own! And you know you have a friend talking to you with a sense of humour! 

Question 2. Does the medium ever see images they are unfamiliar with or don't understand what they mean?

No, there would be no point in having a picture I could not relate to, but details can be vague.

For example …

I saw a lady in a costume I thought was West Indian and it was Nigerian. So What’s the problem? The recipient said ‘no’ spontaneously because he fixed onto the nationality, but later told me the family came from Nigeria, so I apologized for my ignorance and explained it was my error not spirit’s! This result really does show the immense importance of telling your sitter exactly what you are getting without changing it in any way, shape or form.

If I experience Subjective Clairvoyance how do I personally, know that what I am seeing, that it is clairvoyance and not my imagination - do you have any advice for developing mediums on how to tell the difference?

When I first started I describe it thus: “It's just a feeling that you are not alone in your mind - as though someone else is with you. When I have contact from spirit it usually starts with something totally unrelated to what I was previously thinking about. Sometimes the only way I know it is clairvoyance and not my imagination is by telling whoever is with me what I am seeing and getting confirmation that way."

Now I say that I just ask them who they are because we have developed a system whereby I see them and then talk to them and so then get answers either through more seeing or sensing information. Now I don't even consider that it could be my imagination, but this only comes after time in practice.

Ask for further information so that you can give it to the sitter and get confirmation.

Also I know it is not my imagination when I see things that are not within my frame of reference - such as symbols or people I do not know personally, and usually if it is not my imagination the visions or images are accompanied by other physical, mental or emotional sensations that tell me it is not my imagination, that’s the best way to tell.

When I get thoughts and memories that I know are not mine, therefore it cannot be my imagination, and ask yourself .... "why did I come up with this particular image for this person out of all the trillions of images I could possibly have chosen?"

When you see an image just start talking and describing what you see. If it is your imagination it will soon dry up but if the images are being given to you by spirit you will get more and more, stronger and more accurate information.

Constantly practice with your friends and family on a one to one basis and this will help you to learn what is your own imagination and what is clairvoyance - it's harder to read for people you know and spirit have to give you information you know nothing about in order to get confirmation, this will give you confidence and make you popular, and it’s good for them to tell their friends, it will benefit you in the future.

If I am not sure whether it is my imagination or spirit I try to change what I am seeing - if it is my imagination it is easy to change the image - if the image is being given by spirit it is not possible. Don’t forget to join a development circle so that you are with people who understand and can help you to distinguish between imagination and clairvoyance.

Distinguishing between imagination and clairvoyance is one of the most frustrating aspects to developing - all you can do is give out the information you receive and pray you don't look silly! This takes a little courage, that’s why I say join a developing circle where you are all in the same boat…

Some people actually feel a sensation on the crown of their heads when it is clairvoyance - so I suggest that people watch out for sensations they can recognize for themselves to distinguish between imagination and clairvoyance.

I sometimes receive images in cryptic form which I cannot understand but which my client can, this is good evidence.

As time goes onwards you will accept that once you have begun a session with a sitter that everything you receive is from spirit - if the sitter cannot take the information immediately ask them to investigate or watch out for what has been given them, because you never know what reasoning from the spirit world is behind this kind of communication. And TRUST THEM.

Question 3

“We are told we need to 'tune' in to spirit - some say up and some say down - what does 'tune' in mean and how do we do it?‿

This is possibly one of the greatest areas of confusion for beginners. I explain it like this; look at it as radio channels. Lets say we in the physical are on Radio 1 and the Spirit world is on Radio 2. Both of these radio stations frequencies co-exist and occupy the same space, but don't clash, collide or mix under normal circumstances. They are separate but on the same radio.

It would make sense then that we here on the earth plane could not tune in to occupy one frequency and talk to each other unless we did so permanently, and the same for the spirit world, they are all communicating with each other just as we are here.

We are too dense and they are too refined to occupy each other's space/frequency. However, we could meet on a completely different frequency, say Radio 5, and exchange information there. Radio 5 could be a frequency that is modulated by both us and the spirit technicians, and therefore we can occupy that frequency and interact with each other.

To do this, we speed up our own vibration so that we can meet on the new waveband. We use our mind to increase the aura's vibratory rate and to make it grow so that we can then use that, and our mind, to perceive this other frequency. With practice it becomes a reflex, rather than something we do consciously when we begin our development.

In the early days it is something we consciously do each time, but will eventually be handled by the subconscious mind, just as the respiratory system is. It will become like breathing. Does that help?

Tuning in to me is getting my mind ready - I see it like making a call on the phone to my guides and helpers asking them to come close to me and join me in working together, and I usually sit quietly for a few minutes and ask that spirit draw close.

To try to force a connection is detrimental ... so relax and ask for spirit contact, then by working consciously to relax the body with a visualization you enable yourself to tune in.

Tuning in could be simply using a 'trigger' you have developed which speeds up the process of opening up to spirit, for example ‘see’ a room/place that you have a good visual memory of and always put your spirit friends in that room. This stimulates the same vibration each time and so becomes quicker each time and then automatic. Don’t forget to always offer up a prayer and say to spirit that you are 'open for business'. They cannot know everything so tell them!

It seems that nearly everyone else is as confused about this, so all I can say is don't worry if you still don't understand this - because it appears that neither does anyone else and they all seem to link to spirit well enough.
