We’re sure you’ve heard all about the practical benefits of meditation: studies have shown that it can reduce anxiety, improve the quality of your sleep, enhance focus and concentration, and even lower your blood pressure and resting heart rate.
Did you know that it also has huge benefits in the realm of mediumship? Whether you’re trying to develop your own intuitive abilities or you simply want to put yourself in the right headspace for a reading, a regular meditation practice can take your psychic experiences to the next level.
Why meditate?
From your mile-long to-do list, to the stress of the news, to the constant stream of info and alerts on your phone, if you’re like most people in the modern world, your brain is probably noisy. There’s so much to keep track of! So much to worry about!
This mental burden isn’t great for you in general—but it’s especially not great for your intuition. When your mind is overloaded or distracted, it’s practically impossible to tune into the deeper spiritual messages that are out there for you.
The good news is: you can do something about it! Though some people might seem more naturally in touch with their intuitive side, with a little focus and effort, everyone can become more intuitive. And one of the best tools out there to help you tune into your intuition—and maybe even discover mediumship skills of your own—is meditation.
How to meditate
From Zen monasteries to meditation apps, from guided meditation to mindfulness to mantras, there are so many different ways to meditate that it can be difficult to know where to begin!
Fortunately, when it comes to meditation and mediumship, the important thing isn’t what type of meditation you practice—what matters most is the simple act of spending quiet time tuning into yourself, your body, and your consciousness.
Try to spend a few minutes every day just sitting quietly with yourself. You can sit on the floor or in a comfortable chair; if you prefer, you can even meditate while walking around. Notice how your body and spirit feel. As you have thoughts—about your day, your to-do list, the latest social drama—acknowledge them and let them go. Your mind might not immediately feel clearer but trust that long as you’re showing up to be with yourself, there’s no wrong way to meditate.
How often to meditate
Try to make it a habit! Even if you can only meditate for a couple of minutes a day, those minutes will add up, and you’ll be surprised by how much your intuition grows. With regular meditation, lots of people discover a psychic side to themselves that they never knew existed!
Even if you can’t make it a regular practice, meditating for a few minutes before your mediumship reading can help prepare you to get the best possible experience: it helps you set aside all the stressors of everyday life, and tune into your spiritual side in a deeper, more focused way. Give it a try before your next reading!
