Not too late to be a medium: why starting later is your advantage

If you have ever quietly thought that you're too late for this, too late for the mediumship, the channeling, or turning up your intuitive abilities, maybe somewhere you believe that belongs to the people born with the gift, who saw ghosts or Spirit or did supernatural things from childhood, you need to watch this video.

For the first 33 years of my life, there was nothing. It was blank. Sure, I was interested in the supernatural. Sure, I loved to watch spooky things, or to look into the book of the unknown to see the pictures of the ghosts, and I was fascinated with the apparitions of the Virgin Mary and all the things that came with the Catholic church that I belonged to. It was very magical, very fantastical. But me, nothing. 33 years old, I'd had a couple of children, and what I was noticing was signs and synchronicities, feathers and repeating numbers, a song stuck in my head looping, a lack of sleep, feeling like there was someone else in the room. But they were just coincidences, right? They weren't dead people standing in the corner of the room. It wasn't a grandma talking to me. It was dreams. It was subtle.

But when I started clicking that maybe that had something to do with something larger, to do with mediumship or channeling, I started searching. I started going into crystal shops. I started reading books. I started going onto YouTube. And what I found was that nothing really resonated with me. The books were just so deep I could barely understand them. The mediums I was going to were kind of like, yeah, you've got the gift. And I was like, but how do I access it? I didn't realise I already was accessing it. And I'd put up these big barriers and blocks, and I had some expectations and demands. I was demanding from Spirit, which in fact was pushing Spirit away rather than bringing them closer. The biggest myth is I thought it was all external. So I was hunting somewhere that I shouldn't have been looking.

In this video, I'm going to share with you exactly what I wish someone had given me when I was 33 years old: the two minute practice for you to start speaking to Spirit and receiving answers. If you have landed here randomly, the first thing I want to say is, if you feel like you're starting late, then this is an advantage. It's not a disadvantage, because you're starting from a space where you have got your own mind. You have got the emotional mastery. You've already been doing some of this work already, and now you can use your discernment to say what is correct for me and what is not.

There is one truth and one truth only. Everything else is variable. It's subjective, right? What it is that you believe is true, is true. But the one truth is love. If everything is through the lens of love, through the filter of love, you can't get it wrong. And if you're like me and you're a little bit scared, a little bit fearful that you're going down the wrong path, maybe the devil's on your back, or this is a no no, don't dabble, ask yourself this question: am I doing this through the lens of love? And if you feel your heart is expansive, and you feel like going down this way of connecting with Spirit is correct in your heart, because you are doing it from love, you can't go wrong. You simply cannot. This is always my truth.

If this is your first time here, hello. My name is Victoria Bond. I'm a psychic medium and a spiritual empowerment coach, and as you might have already gathered, I woke up at 33 years old. After the birth of my second child, I woke up, and I started to desire to explore these abilities that I thought I had missed, because my grandmother, and especially my great grandmother, was super psychic. But of course, they gave it up to God, and they passed it off as nothing. If you know about the witch wound, you'll probably know that that is very much embedded into our DNA, and making a big deal about anything was a no go, especially if you were connected to the church. But now it has changed. It has shifted. And now we get to access our gifts in a safe way. In fact, I encourage it.

I have been educating people how to empower themselves, to know what they know, to work with consciousness, to work with their very own gifts. I wasn't fearless when I first began this mediumship journey. Now I'm a teacher, and I'm doing it from a space of wanting to make the world a better place. And I had to really work through deconditioning the fear that I had, the fear that if I dabbled or spoke about things that were not in this little box of to dos and not to dos, I would potentially go somewhere bad once I died. The fear was keeping me small, but I knew somewhere in my mind, and certainly in my heart, that that didn't feel correct. And that's something I've always known, that it's not quite right to stay small. In fact, I believe that our power is our greatest protection. And of course, humbleness and power creates alignment, and it's always through the lens of love.

So I just wanted to address that straight away. If you are starting in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, there is no wrongness. You have been busy being a human, and now we might have to decondition a little bit of that process, and that's simple, right? We ask the question, is this correct for me, or is this not? If there's an energy of fear, there's probably some conditioning, and that's okay. You can just pop that on the shelf and go, what would love do? What would love choose?

So we're going to speak about the art of asking a question. Not a lot of mediums talk about how to ask a question, because it's something that is so natural to them, but it's something that I need to tell you, because if you're asking a closed question, then quite often you may not get an answer at all. And this is what I found. I would be saying, is there Spirit here? And I wouldn't get a yes or a no. I would get a silence. But I asked a question that was open, and it changed everything. So don't ask with a closed question. Ask with an open question. Don't ask with, is anyone here? Ask with, who is here? Don't ask with a demand. Ask with an open heart.

Remember what I just said about love, and being the filter of love. We're wanting to connect with somebody. We're not doing transactional, we're doing transformational work. Open and warm, through the lens of love, is going to be more present, and it's going to be more heartfelt, and more of you coming from an inside place rather than looking externally. So this is definitely a massive clue when it comes to mediumship. A lot of people think that it's external, and this is where you completely fail, because you're thinking that Spirit's coming outwardly. But it's always when we're internal, when we're grounded, when we're coming from the lens of love, when we're expanded, that's when the drop ins come.

The other thing is, Spirit is not a party trick. So Ouija boards, or demanding, or getting them to prove something to you, is not the way to do it. We need to be connecting heart to heart, and knowing that we're doing it for the higher good of the spirit, for ourselves and for all. So I always say I'm coming from the space of the highest vibrations and frequencies of the true white light, and I find that really helps when I'm connecting in with Spirit.

Let's get ready for this two minute practice, where I'm going to share with you my three steps. I'm going to take you through the steps first, and then we're going to do it together. The first thing we do is we're going to anchor into the earth, into the ground. Why do we do this? Because Spirit doesn't connect through the mind. Spirit connects through the heart and presence of the body. So step one is anchor into the ground, feet on the ground. You're going to close your eyes and you're going to take three deep breaths. Step two is going to take you about 60 seconds. 60 seconds can seem like a long time, but you're going to have your eyes closed. You've got your hands on your heart. You've taken your deep breaths. Then you're going to ask a question: what do I need to feel today? And then you're just going to wait and sit in the energy, with no expectation of any answer.

And then for the last 30 seconds, you are going to say thank you, and you're going to come into the energy of gratitude. Something magical happens when you go into gratitude. Often people forget to thank Spirit, because they're in this demanding energy, trying to prove to themselves and others that they can connect into Spirit. There's just too much pressure. So one, you're going to breathe and anchor. Two, you're going to ask a question, which is going to expand your consciousness and the consciousness around you. And three, you're going to say thank you, because this is going to bring you into the energy of gratitude, which is going to get your energy echoing out, which is going to make you susceptible to Spirit connections during the day. That's the three steps. Nice and simple.

And now we're going to practice it together. When you're ready, close your eyes down. Feel your feet on the ground, and now I want you to visualise roots coming from your feet into the ground, wrapping around your most favourite crystal. Now let's do three breaths together, as we breathe in through the nose and breathe out the mouth. And again, breathing in through the nose, this time holding at the top just for a second, breathing out your mouth, letting it all go. This is calming the nervous system down. One more breath. Breathing in through the nose, holding at the top, and breathing out long and slow. That's the first 30 seconds.

And now you're going to ask Spirit a question: what do I need to feel today? Now just keep breathing. Remember the hands on the heart. I invite you to drop your barriers down and start visualising yourself expanding. You're not waiting for an answer, but let the answers come if they're around. Just don't force anything. Just sitting here in the energy of presence, noticing any thoughts that come on by. Don't push them away. Just let them float on by, being the observer of your very own self.

And now, for the last 30 seconds, we come into gratitude. Thank you, Spirit. Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for being with me. I am open to receive your medicine, your magic. I am open to receive from you. And now visualise yourself expanding, expanding, expanding, as your energy is vibrating at a much larger capacity. Beautiful. Bringing yourself back with the breath, as you breathe in deeply, breathing out, opening your eyes. And there we have it. Two minutes. Simplicity, my friend. Simplicity.

Simplicity is always a key. Did you notice how we grounded down? We came into the presence of the body. We calmed the nervous system down. We asked a question that was open, which is going to help you and consciousness itself interact. We've invited Spirit in, and then we come into gratitude, which expands the energy, being willing to receive messages not just in the now. I'm curious if you did get anything in the now. But if you didn't, don't make that solid. Don't make that dense. Don't make that wrong.

For me, my life is like a moving poem. It's a moving song that's continuously giving me information. I was feeling the feels, and then I looked over and I saw a feather sitting there on the ground. I don't know where the feather came from. I have no idea. A little fluffy white feather, which to me means an angel is around. I was just asking a question, you know, what would you have me do? And then I looked over there and saw that. I just needed that little sign to know I'm on the right track, that it's okay for me to do what I was doing, or whatever the scenario is.

So how do you feel now? Two minutes. That's all you need to do. You can do this with your morning coffee. You can do this while you're still lying in bed. I quite often will connect into Spirit just as I'm falling asleep at night, or waking up in the morning if I've got five minutes, as long as you don't go back to sleep. I lie there and I start going, what Spirit is here for me today? Who is here? I am open to receive any messages, now or later on. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Thank you for supporting me today. I am open to receive in any way that you would like to connect with me. And this here is like a walking intention, a walking prayer that we get to access.

And these two minutes a day can be at your lunch break. Or you might go, hmm, I'd like to come back to myself. I feel like I've been quite busy running around after kids, or life. I might go and give myself two minutes to really calm myself and connect in with Spirit, because, my friends, remember, you are Spirit. So of course you're going to connect in with Spirit, because that is your natural way of connecting. One of the biggest mistakes people make is they will go, it didn't work on me, and they go on to the next thing. It does work, but we need to practice our skill set of connecting.

Often we are in this fast paced world of scrolling, or wanting to get the quick fix, or we want our fries upsized and super hot instantly, without cooking them. This is the world that we're in, and that's okay. It's absolutely okay. But if you truly want to be a medium, if you truly want to connect in with Spirit, and not just have a quick party trick to impress people or to prove anything, then this is the method you want to do. If someone had said, hey, Vic, I've got a two minute method, do this every day for 30 days and you're going to start receiving information from Spirit. You can write it down in your diary every single day, take note of what you noticed, and then you'll be able to start putting the pieces of the puzzle together, and it's going to paint this picture. It's just the way it works. I would have been stoked. I don't know if I would have believed it, but I would have given it a try.
