Spirits will communicate with the medium in many ways depending on the clair or clairs that is most developed in the medium; clairaudience (hearing voices), clairvoyance (seeing images), clairsentience (recognising feelings), and claircognizance (knowing).  A medium may use one of or all of his or her clairs. The clairs that I personally use often are clairsentience and claircognizance. Often, I use clairvoyance, but this is mainly to shift, clear energy and witness what frequency a spirit is coming from (there are many).

Spirits communicate with mediums by using the experiences and memories of the medium to create meaning. This is why having a ‘conversation’ with a spirit can be a little confusing and need a little detective work. Spirits use symbols which they mentally offer to the medium, creating meaning for the client. Sometimes this is woven with smells and tastes and other types of intuition. I have learnt over the years that spirits have the same personality when they pass, as when they lived. Although, many have learnt the error of their ways, often a spirit will apologise for their earthly behaviour. Spirits go through their own healing process when they pass, often with the help of their guides and loved ones in spirit who passed before they did.  Their perception has often shifted – this always makes me laugh. Especially when I have older gentlemen come through in spirit form who truly thought that all mediumship and psychic phenomena were a hoax when they were living. I always smile when these spirits come through. There is usually a sense of ‘if I only I knew then when I know now’.
