Spirit is Spirit.
It doesn’t matter where, when, why or how you connect with them – they are a constant in this movement.
In fact, the only thing we can be certain of when we go to work with Spirit is that they will always show up for the demonstration – even if the medium sometimes struggles to.
One of the hardest things for a medium is to trust Spirit wholeheartedly – even when we’re being moved out of our comfort zone.
That trust was tested when I first demonstrated in Germany and Iceland, where I worked with translators so the audience could understand what I was saying.
Until then, I’d been used to working at a very quick pace with Spirit, and I was genuinely nervous about having to pause after every couple of sentences in case I lost my connection and everything fell apart mid-link.
I thought about it.
I worried about it.
I even considered cancelling because of it.
Until I finally became so wound up about it that I just thought, “What will be will be…” and surrendered to it.
Best decision ever!
I found myself on a Friday night in January, in a small room full of friendly Bavarians, on the outskirts of Salzburg, with nothing but a prayer… and a cheeky Irish sense of humour in case it all went wrong.
Of course, it didn’t. Spirit turned up in abundance, as they always do. And thankfully, because I’d agreed with myself – and Spirit – to just go with the flow, Medium Eamon was able to turn up too.
I managed to bring across some beautiful evidence of survival for the people in the audience, at a pace that was much slower than I was used to, but which flowed perfectly well.
It was the same for me in Iceland, on both occasions I visited, and I’ll be taking that same trust with me when I work with Spirit in Poland for the first time next May (thankfully, my hosts in Sweden and Denmark speak excellent English).
When we stop being open to evolving with Spirit and insist on working exactly as we always have, we forget that Spirit doesn’t need a translator – but sometimes the medium needs to stop insisting that everything be spoken in their own familiar rhythm.
