How to know if you are a medium (and why you already are)

Welcome to day two of the Mastering Mediumship masterclass. Of course, I am Victoria Bond. So, my beautiful beings, what we're going to be talking about is a few different things, a few different questions, kind of like the questions that I get very often. These are the questions that I want to touch base on. And I want to talk to you about channelling, because I say the word channel and people go, no. So we really want to talk about the mistaken beliefs on what being a channel actually is.

So where do I want to begin? I wanted to begin with: are you a medium? I want you to be really honest. If you were here watching on record, you just write this down in your diary and just bear with us as we go through this.

So basically, guys, this is a thing. You are a medium. Now, many of you are already mediums and you're actually acknowledging it, but whether you acknowledge or not, you are a medium. Now, it took me a while to get my head around this, because I was like, I know I'm a medium, but why am I a medium, and how am I a medium? I'm going to ask you to own it, that you are a medium, because if you can own it, then you be it.

If we think that we have to do A, B and C to be anything particular, then we're always keeping that stretched out, like over there. One day I'll be the medium. One day I'll be the healer. One day I'll be a good wife and a good mum. Or one day I'll have the relationship of my dreams, or have the body of my dreams. There's no one day, because if you understand the concept that time is not linear, that means we only have the present moment, which means we can be everything all at once.

Of course, the mind has no idea what you're talking about when we actually say this. So I'm going to ask you to drop your barriers now. I'm going to ask you to feel grounded, to take a nice deep breath into your body and breathe out, breathing down into relaxation, and allowing your head to drop down into your heart, and allowing yourself to be willing to see things from a more expansive point of view. So breathing in again, and on the exhale, just breathe down, drop your barriers and expand your energy. You don't need to hide.

And what I want to share with you first of all is, anywhere that you don't think you're a medium, will you please now drop that? Because what you think a medium is, is probably someone who sits there and channels through spirits and can see them, stuff like that. Yeah, cool, that's a medium. But there's different types of mediums, and that's why on my program we dive into the different types of mediumship.

If I could just take the word medium out and just say channel, or being like, you are a unique being, how would that change things for you? We have attachments to words. But if we didn't have attachments from the conditioning that we've experienced, how would that change things? I'm totally going off the script. You know, I try to write notes and channel it down, but I'm channelling so fast right now, I'm actually trying to slow down my words.

Okay, so, go back to the script. The next question is a really good one. What is your purpose here on Earth? I'm just going to go straight to the big question. What is your purpose on Earth? Now, if you're going to get any information from this, feel free to write it down in your diaries.

I'll tell you what my purpose is. My purpose is to help others see their unique abilities so they can shine their genius into the world. That is my unique gift, and that is why I have Magnificent Mediumship. Because if people can understand that they have this unique gift, and that by people being in their vortex, in the energy, that is enough for people to shift, how would that change things?

I'll give you a perfect example of this. I had a soul client have a session with me, and I was like, I'm going to have to prep for this. So the way I prepped for it was, I went, I'm gonna go have a bath. I'm gonna put some Epsom salts in and some oil. I'm going to ask my husband to bring me a coffee. Oh, this is so divine. I jumped on the call and said hello, how are you, and we had the most potent, incredible session ever. There was tears. It was just amazingly aligned, because I was stepping into the medium that I truly be, which is more than my head.

Now, I could use my life coaching skills, my business skills, my Reiki skills, my whole educational system skills, into creating a session where it was structured. But why would I do that? Because I'm coming from a place of me being a medium and being a channel, not me using my skill set to try and pick this person apart. So the reason why I'm sharing this with you is, your purpose is to be you.

The funny thing about it is, the conditioning is everything the opposite of what we've been taught. We've been told that to be well paid, you go to university and you have to be intelligent. We've been told a lot of things. But no one ever told us to embrace our power. No one told us to embrace our energy and to share it with the world and step into our magnificence, into our mediumship and channelling powers. Imagine how different life would be if that was in the education system.

But no, we don't get told that at school. So now we're reprogramming our brains as human beings, as adults, and thank God some of us have got little children which we can share this with right now. So your purpose is to be you. And to be you means that you must align to who you are and show up how you want to show up, which means constantly tapping into yourself and preparing yourself.

So you've got the information that you are a medium, but why would you want to be a medium? The next question is, why are you afraid of being a medium? People are scared of being a medium. When I think about mediums, I think about people in a little crystal shop. I've been to many of those crystal shops, and I love those crystal shops, by the way, but they're in the back room, giving you a reading.

Where are we trying to control our mediumship, because we are afraid that we are going to get rejected? Now, sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt you. No one can hurt you now. They can't. The very worst that can happen if you step into these skills is that someone will say, oh, you're going a bit woo woo, aren't you? Oh, that was a bit weird. Oh, don't get too weird now.

The truth is, if we know our boundaries with Spirit, if we know our boundaries and we know our energy and we know ourselves, nothing can hurt you. If there's no difference between you being in a human body, and Spirit, which is somebody with no body, there's no need to be afraid of Spirit. This is all about boundaries. Spirit are not up here on a pedestal. They just want to communicate, and the more we ignore them out of fear, the more that they're not getting their messages across.

What are we saying to our children, when they're saying they're seeing something or they're feeling something? My daughter's been feeling really sad. My mum would have said, oh, don't be so silly. And I said, okay, sweetheart, sometimes we feel these things.

So why are we afraid of being a medium? Firstly, because of what we think a medium is, and it's actually not that at all. So journal on what a medium is. I'm a medium because I come from high service and I'm here to make a big difference in the world. I help create mediums. The funny thing about that is they're already mediums. I just help them to acknowledge it, so then they can actually go be the medium that they truly be. I don't do anything but help activate what people already have.

And we are safe. So telling your human body that you are safe to show up is number one. And really coming into that grounding of, I'm here for reasons. I'm here on purpose, on my mission, which means I'm here to be me. And that's all you have to be. That's so cool.

So what are the points of view that we have on channelling? Same thing as mediumship. My point of view, from a religious point of view, was that a channel was somebody who sat back and let somebody into their body, and that is scary stuff, and you should not do that. That's what I was taught. That's what I was told. And yes, a channel is a person who can channel through information from Spirit.

A channel is a person who can literally let somebody else step in. Now the funny thing about it is, we do this all the time. So we're channelling all the time, we just don't realise it. Have you ever been like, hmm, I feel like a bear, or so strange, I'm having this dream? We're energy. We're not dense. The only thing that keeps you safe is knowing your boundaries and knowing what you are available for. I'm available for the highest frequency beings.

On a day to day level, we channel all the time. I just channelled for my client. I didn't sit there and go, I'm a channel now, come on through. It wasn't like that. I'm naturally a channel who always channels, who is intuitive and potent and divinely guided, so therefore I can't mess up the session, even though I'm not following my notes, because I believe it's divinely guided. So there's no mistakes, and they would have got something, even if it was a tiny little thing.

So when I channel, it is literally going, I know I'm a natural channel. I know I am, because I know that I'm energy. I'm not just solid in this body. What are you available for? Whatever you're available for is what you'll actually get. I realised that actually I'm a part of this event, where I am the medium. I have got the body. A body is a divine gift given to you to utilise in your mediumship.

So channelling comes in many different forms. There's a painting behind me. I don't know if you can see that, but that painting was channelled by me. I got a message from a friend, and she said, I channelled you a painting. It's been sitting there for you, and it's of golden feathers. And I said to her, thank you, because the amount of signs and evidence and confirmation that I have because of that one little painting was more than she'll ever know. And the painting I did is a confirmation that I actually channel paintings as well.

So that is one of the things we do. We can channel by paintings, by writing, by journaling, by dancing. It is all about allowing yourself to utilise your body to be the channel that's coming through. I know we've got writers on here as well, channelling through the chapters of the books, or whatever it is you're writing. Maybe it's content for your page. Maybe you're a coach and you want to channel something out for your people. We are natural channels, and it's time that we own that.

It's time that we say, okay, so I'm a medium. I'm a coach. I am a practitioner. I am a mum. I am a channel. How do we channel these things? We channel when we're reading cards. So when I shuffle cards, I literally stop, or I literally pull. I don't even think about it, because I know that it's going to be perfect, because I channelled when to stop. It's just so fascinating.

So one of the things that you want to acknowledge with your body, if you are doing readings for people, is your mannerisms. What are you doing with your body? How are you standing? How are you feeling? Are you feeling masculine or feminine? When I'm talking to a little old granny who's so lovely, I'll feel so sweet, because I can connect. And I'll be like, why am I doing this with my body? Why am I tilting my head? Why am I feeling like I'm drinking tea? Because my body is giving me information, which is a part of the mediumship.

So these are all human experiences that we have in day to day life, which we take over into our mediumship. There's a few different things that I like to do. Like I shared with you, dropping barriers and expanding, and calling in my guides, calling in the highest frequencies.

So, to be a medium, how do you be a medium? Now the whole, how long is a piece of string? Because I would hate to limit anybody. That's my worst nightmare, to limit people. So, you know how you're a medium, and here is the trick. What are you good at? What are you so good at that people came to you when you were 10 years old, 12 years old, 15 years old, 25, 30, whatever? They always came to you. Were you the listener? Were you the talker? Were you giving the advice? Were people just coming to you to hold the space?

Whatever you were doing mostly during your life, it's a thing that's directly in front of you. Directly in front of you. It's so close to you that you can barely see it, just like a bad habit, right? You don't know you do the bad habits, because you do them unconsciously. So let's bring the unconscious incredibleness, the amazingness, the genius that we do, into our consciousness now.

So how to be a medium is to know that you're a channel, and to start channelling. You can't channel with your head. You use your brain for the skills that you need. So for instance, for the writer, she would go, okay, I know I need to do a chapter. I know I need to have this amount of paragraphs. So you do the channel, but you're going to use your brain to break that up. Of course we need some structures and strategies. But the biggest thing about being a medium is to be in that energy, with no judgment of others.

I cannot give everybody everything in one session. I did that for years. You were here to give them a golden nugget that will change their lives. And 99% of what you say will probably make no sense, which means I just have to trust that whatever you need, you will get. It is that golden nugget. It is that idea. It is that one thing that they require to hear, that means nothing to you, that lands for them and transforms their life. We need trust and faith in ourselves to go to this level.

So your thoughts and your feelings and your words are all a part of channelling as well. I'm acknowledging myself as a channel and the medium that I am, that I truly be. And I know that every day miracles are going to happen. I did a reading for someone and I said, do you believe in miracles, and when did you stop believing in miracles? Because miracles are real if you believe in them.

So what is it that you believe, and what did you know was real when you were a little girl or a little boy that you dismissed, and you shut that door of that gigantic mansion with millions and millions of doors? You shut that door of miracles because it didn't fit in this dense reality. And then you shut that door to mediumship, because you didn't want to be weird, or get hurt, or experience the pain of rejection. And then you shut the other door of channelling.

And then you shut the other door of this, and you shut the other door of that, and then all of a sudden you're like, it's not actually safe to be me. So I'm not going to allow myself to get hurt. It's safety first. So now I invite you to know that it is safe to go into your mansion, that little girl or little boy heart, whatever it is, right? Go into that portal of imagination and open those doors with no fear, with grounding, with your heart, and knowing that you will know your boundaries and know your value, and that your mediumship will be unique. It will be unique in every possible way.

So if you have an ability, which you do, all of you have an ability, healing abilities, mediumship abilities, expansive abilities. You may be a talker like me, or you may be more of a non talker, but who transforms people's lives just by being. When people are with you, in your vortex, and you can set intentions of the highest purpose, highest frequency, they come to you, and what will actually happen is you hear what they have to say, and then you channel through what they need to hear.

So your listening skills, if you guys are a good listener, is a thing that will make you a brilliant medium. I'm a talker, clearly, so being a talker means I'm a great medium because I can channel fast. So if you're a medium, if you're a channel, if you're living on purpose and embracing your own self, and you're coming from, I'm strong within myself and I know that I am my purpose, then what will happen is miracles. So make sure you open those miracle doors, those scary doors.

Okay, so the next thing is, to be a medium you must understand mindset. Everything is from you, and it's within you. Coming back into you and magnifying yourself, and asking for divine guidance. So many people are feeling like they have to do everything themselves. This is about alignment. This is about joy. This is about mediumship. All of this stuff is combined, and it always comes back to coming back to yourself.

We need to know, as mediums, as intuitive beings, that we have to have balance. We have to choose ourselves. I had a bath. I'm going to meditate after this. I'm going to paint. Actually, I'm going to do another channel painting because it's fun. Understanding your mindset is about being strong with you.

So the biggest thing I want you to know, that just popped out from my notes, is you are already enough. You were enough when you were five and you were seeing spirits. You were enough when you were channelling at five years old. You were enough when you were flowing love to Mum and Dad, or you were enough when you were feeling the energies of your mum not being happy, or a child at school not being happy. You were enough, and you were a pure channel.

You were divine then and you are divine now. But you shut all those doors to your mansion, and you stuck into three rooms of this reality. It's time now to be the trailblazers, whatever label you want to put on there. It doesn't matter. So having a mindset and knowing that is the first thing that you want to do when it comes to mediumship.

We use our brain to create drama in cycles from what we've learned in the past. So come back to the five year old. Embrace her, or him, and learn from your five year old self. If you've got little children, learn from them too. We're not here to teach them. We're here to learn from them.

And then the next thing is being present. Being present means not overthinking. Being present means, you know, smelling the flowers. We've got signs and messages everywhere. Stop and smell the roses. What do roses do? They actually lift your frequency. So smell what you're smelling. See what you're really seeing.

How many people are doing the washing, and they are actually addicted to thinking, and they've got this mind chatter going on in their head, and they're not actually folding the washing? They're afraid to let go of their thoughts in case they forget, because they're addicted to thinking. If you're a medium, you really want to just bring this down and work on not being addicted to thinking. Being present within yourself means that you can be aware of other things. Smelling things, seeing things, breathing.

And the reason why I get you to expand is because you don't want anyone to jump into your body, so you put up these massive big barriers around you. So when Spirit does come, it's this massive resistance. But if you're functioning from your being, and your mindset is strong, and you're present, you know that you're a channel, you know that you're gifted, and you know that you are your purpose, and that's all you have to do, is come back to you. Everything changes.

So being present is really about being conscious with your eating, conscious with your words, conscious with your body, stepping into the senses of your body. Because being a medium, you will smell things. But being present means hearing someone when they're talking, not thinking about how you can reply. We're telepathic as well, right? We are mediums. We're psychic. We're all psychic.

So you're sitting there talking to a friend, and what is the difference between someone going, yeah, and really hearing them, or sitting there and you can see their brain going, when can I speak? I want to talk now. I want to hear them, you know. So this is where we can actually utilise the stuff in our real life, which turns up our mediumship abilities.

The biggest thing is, if you're judging yourself, when you're judging yourself, you will judge others. When you're judging others, you are judging yourself. When we trust, we know that we are a channel for everything. So when you know that you're channelling everything, acknowledging that you are the channel, it's your higher self coming through, like I'm talking to yours right now.

So let's go back to the five year old girl. What did she know? She knew, and we shut her down. So we must come from a forgiveness of shutting her down, and now hear her.

So, closing your eyes, I'm going to give you a two minute meditation. So please close your eyes. Take a nice deep breath in. I'm going to ask you to please drop your barriers and expand your energy. Come from a place of love in your heart centre. Even put your hand on your heart if you feel the need. Put your hand on your third eye if you choose to. Allow yourself to feel the gratitude for you showing up. You showed up. You are listening to this masterclass because you chose to invest your time in you. Congratulations. Acknowledge yourself.

Acknowledge your being, and I want you to say it with me. I am enough as I am. I am choosing to activate my abilities and turn them up. I am already a magnificent medium. I believe in me. I drop anything that no longer serves me. I send it away with love. I acknowledge my five year old self. I acknowledge who I truly be.

I'm gonna ask you to ground yourself and imagine beautiful roots coming from your feet into the Earth, dropping your barriers and expanding, and allowing yourself to have the allowance of your growth. Right now, right here, I am choosing more. I am choosing myself. I am my purpose. Visualising those roots turning a beautiful golden light, and knowing that you are here on Earth for a purpose. You are no accident. You are divine. You are love. And your team are here around you, supporting you.

And they are here to guide you, but you, my friend, you are the person who is sailing the ship. You are the CEO of this life. There's no more hiding, because you were here for big things, and no one and nothing can tell you what those things are, because they are within you. Now we're going to ask for the easiest path with least resistance to step forward and to become conscious into your awareness.

And commit to yourself, and commit the next day and the next day, that you have these strong roots, and nothing will stop you from living on purpose. Taking a nice deep breath in, activating the body, having a stretch, doing whatever is required. Drop your head down into your heart and ask for guidance. Everything is right in front of us, and it's a lot more simple. It's just getting around our brain.
