Medium Opening Meditation

• Close your eyes and breathe in long and deep relaxing breaths.

Move the energy through the body and exhale any stress and

tension. Continue this cleansing and relaxing breath. When

you feel relaxed imagine that you are breathing white light

down through the top of the head. Move this breath through

the body and exhale any stress and tension.

• As you breathe in white light energy down through the top of

the head, move it through your body and exhale it through

the heart. Continue breathing in white light. Allow it to circu-

late through your body, loosening and relaxing any stress and

tension. Then exhale through the heart.

opening. Feel the white light breath filling your mind with

white light. Exhale any stress and tension. Continue to breathe

in white light energy and feel your heart and mind open.

Feel your body filling with white light, open and relaxed. Con-

tinue to breathe in this way. Breathe in white light and imag-

ine it expanding beyond the physical body. Imagine that you

are surrounded by an orb of white light. Feel your energy field

open and relaxed. Breathing white light into your mind, heart,

body and spirit. Feel yourself invigorated and at one with the

spirit realm.

times.

ing am I receiving form him or her? Continue this process

until you feel an emotional connection.

or her if they have a message for you. Be patient and listen.

with another image or symbol, a thought or the spontaneous

recall of a memory.

Congratulations! You are ready for a medium session. The following

exercise will help you to make use of the many skills that you have been practicing. Be ready and willing to receive energy information through all four medium types. Unlike the other exercises, you will not ask for a particular loved one from the other side to draw close.

Instead allow whatever spirit is present to communicate to you. I

recommend that you say the prayer of protection from earlier in the
