Physical Mediumship Far from being relegated to the history
books, physical mediumship is a part of spiritualism today. The UK is
extremely fortunate to have physical mediums who demonstrate their gifts at
public séances far and wide. Not forgetting the home circles where 100's of
mediums and sitters are diligently working with their
spirit guides and developing their gifts
in pursuit of physical phenomena.
Spiritualism was founded
upon physical mediumship. In 1848 two young girls, who later became world
famous physical mediums, established communication with the spirit of a
murdered tinker.
The above event that took place in New York was a
breakthrough. It established that not only does the human body survive
death, but it is possible to communicate. From that moment onwards there was
an explosion of physical phenomena right across America, reaching England in
1852.
What is ectoplasm?
When the spirit operators withdraw the etheric energy-matter from the
medium's body, it is known as ectoplasm. It is through the ectoplasm that
physical phenomena can happen. Ectoplasm can be created in many different
forms dependant on what the Spirit controls wish to convey.
Once created, the ectoplasm generally emerges from the medium through
nose or mouth or perhaps a psychic centre, such as the solar plexus.
