This is the sixteenth session of the ninth series of Lanzarote Sessions, transcribed during a break to the Canary Islands in March 2025. During our frequent visits, I sit in the power of the spirit at least once daily and allow the spirit-connect to share a message with me.
|| This summary written on 4th August 2025 | 136 days after session
In over twenty five years of working with mediumship and study, one of the most surprising findings is that there are no perfect mediums. Being a medium myself can be a disadvantage when observing other mediums at work. I know what I am expecting from them. I’m looking for the complete package and none I’ve witnessed have yet demonstrated that.
Like so many other mediums, I set a high standard of expectations for myself and therefore others, particularly those I hold high esteem for. One evening many years ago, I bought a ticket to go and watch one of the best known mediums in this country do a demonstration at Cheltenham Town Hall. The theatre was packed and the medium came on to a rousing response from the anticipating audience. For the following ninety minutes I watched this famous medium demonstrate and was impressed by how good many of the connections were, relaying incredible detail and unquestionable evidence of the continuation of life.
The following day, when I was chatting to one of the admin staff where I was working, she showed great interest in wanting to see this medium for herself. I’d piled such high praise about how good the medium was on the previous night. Later in the day, the office girl told me she had bought two tickets for the theatre that night to witness this medium for herself. The second ticket was for me. She wanted me to chaparone her for the evening.
At the theatre that night the queue was long and the buzz around the waiting audience was palpable. We took our seats and I sat there confident that my evening partner was going to witness another exciting night with this medium, who happened to be doing two consequetive nights at this theatre. When the medium came on the stage, the audience showed their excitement and enthusiasm for this well-known medium. I was sure the evening would impress my partner. It didn’t.
The medium was, respectfully, awful, for the entire ninety minutes. The demonstration lacked any evidence of a continuing life, no evidence of a connection from them, guesswork that was more often than not wrong, concluding the night as one of the worst evenings of mediumship I had ever attended. My partner was, putting it mildly, hugely disappointed, and I don’t blame her. I was utterly embarrased and felt upset that this medium had been so bad. The tickets weren’t exactly cheap either, even though I didn’t pay for the second night.
Only that medium would be able to explain what exactly went wrong for them on that night. Perhaps a lack of preparation, or perhaps just tiredness set in. I did learn from that night however. No medium, no matter how good their reputation, are just ordinary people at heart and face the same conditions as the rest of us for their mediumship.
I’m usually strict on myself about preparing correctly before connecting with the spirit world, making sure to tick all the personal preparation boxes. But, I’m still only a human and nothing in mediumship is guaranteed. In the following session below, something was wrong and I’d obviously cut corners in the preparation for the sake of completing the daily session for the records. A lesson for us all, stack the odds and prepare properly, making sure everything is ready, including mental readiness.
Mediumship is an incredible gift to possess. It should be valued and treated as so. Our important tool is ourselves and we should all treat it with care and respect when displaying our abilities to those watching on.It doesn’t just happen. That said, everyone has an off-night and the key to continuing growth is to learn from it and move on to the next occasion.
THE SPIRIT INSIGHT
transcribed on Friday 21st March 2025, at 4:20 pm
That was a nice opening request, “A speaker to share a message for the greater good of all“.
When have we ever let you down? All our messages are intended for the greater good. We are attuned to your energy and where you are in the progress through your life. You, like so many others, do what you do, for the greater good. So the possibilities of a lesser connection to your energy is unlikely. Inducing lesser communicators from the place you term, the afterlife, is not readily going to happen.
Mediums, healers and spiritualist followers, as with many other followers in a faith associated around the Divine, are protected from infiltration from, as we call them, sub-forms of life. You refer to them however you wish. They are the souls of lines yet to find their true life path, instead choosing a less desirable route.
I’m sure someone from here has explained to you in the past that people outside of our frequency are unheard by us. Akin to your radio frequencies. A station on one frequency is sharing that spectrum with thousands of other broadcasters. Yet each station stands in it’s own frequency.
This is a similar analogy to the ways here, though of course, more natural and less technically bound as that is.
You’re feeling tired, I can tell.
You’re probably going to have a sleep shortly. The strength of your connection is weakened by the reduction in your committed energy.
I think you would be wise to appreciate that as you age, your energy levels don’t hold for as long and, like a battery, you need recharging more often.
I know you show concerns for your lack of energy always appearing low. You have nothing to worry about.
Part of growing older and wiser, is learning to appreciate your limitations more often. What you were able to do yesterday, may not be done so easily today. Rest is therefore a sensible way to protect yourself.
I’II return again soon. Rest up and recharge.
MY AFTERTHOUGHTS
written at the time of this presentation
🔷 On the day of this transcribed message, I was aware that I hadn’t sat on the previous day and needed to get a few more in before the break in Lanzarote ended. So I pushed myself to make an effort and sit with the notepad. In those moments of making the quick decision, I didn’t take into consideration that my body was tired. I was in need of a power-nap as I usually did at this time of day. But, I thought that could wait and sitting for spirit was more important. I was wrong. Although the speaker’s message starts quite well with an interesting topic for their discussion, the usual conditions for the transcribing process obviously began to fail and the speaker was forced to end the session.
🔷 From the few good sentiments of the message, there is one important point made by the speaker, regarding who we connect to. The old addage of like follows like is so very important in mediumship work. If one is actively working for the higher self, the greater good of the spirit and soul, the only spirits attracted are those on the same ‘wavelength’. Our own spirit, that has one foot in the spirit world, reflects our intent. It’s therefore not very likely to attract undesireable spirits. This is one reason I always say the complete Lord’s Prayer aloud in my mind before ever connecting to the spirit world. I feel it offers me a protection and sets my intent.
🔷 As I write this summary, I have since lost thirty pounds of weight. In doing so, my energy levels have increased and often I don’t need to nap in the day. The key, of course, would be to make sure of getting a good nights sleep as often as possible and as we age, we must remind ourselves that the body needs more time to rest and recover. The spirit world people want to work with us, so we’ve nothing to worry about there. But we should, as I’m always saying, stack the odds and create the best conditions every time. As my tutor use to say, “you can’t short cut a short cut.”
“Part of growing older and wiser, is learning to appreciate your limitations more often. What you were able to do yesterday, may not be done so easily today. Rest is therefore a sensible way to protect yourself.”
THIS SESSION WILL BE RELEASED TO THE MAIN WEBSITE AFTER 4th OCTOBER 2025
