Building Your Foundation Through Sitting in the Power

Yesterday we explored the challenge of doubt that even experienced mediums face. Today, I want to share what I consider the most essential foundation for consistent mediumship development—one that's often overlooked in medium’s training.

The Hidden Key: Sitting in the Power

When asked what I would recommend if a developing medium could only do one practice, my answer is immediate and emphatic:

This simple yet profound practice creates the foundation for all other mediumship skills. As I've experienced firsthand:

Why "Sitting in the Power" Creates Consistency

Have you noticed how some mediums seem to have dramatic ups and downs in their readings? One day they're brilliant, the next they struggle to make basic connections. I've observed this common challenge throughout my teaching:

By facing these challenges in quiet contemplation, you build resilience. Instead of dramatic ups and downs, you create a steady upward trajectory—still with natural variation, but always moving forward.

I credit this practice with my consistent results over 30 years: "I have never fallen flat on my face, never ever. And I believe that has to do with, I started to sit in the power as soon as I got into this, before I start working with the spirit."

A Simple "Sitting in the Power" Practice

Unlike complex visualizations or guided meditations, sitting in the power is beautifully simple:

1. Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed

2. Set an intention to connect with spirit energy

3. Simply sit and be present—not seeking experiences or messages

4. When your mind wanders (and it will), gently bring focus back

5. Start with just 5-10 minutes and gradually extend the time

As I often tell my students: "When you're sitting in the power, nothing happens. And that's where everything happens."

Beyond Technique to Energy Building

What makes this practice so powerful is that it builds what I call "spiritual charisma"—a quality that clients can feel even before you begin a reading.

This energy foundation becomes especially important when working with challenging clients or situations. When you've built your power through consistent sitting, you can maintain your center even when facing skepticism or resistance.

Your Practice Invitation

Over the next 24 hours, try a simple 5-minute sitting in the power. Don't expect dramatic experiences—just be present with the intention to connect with spirit energy. Notice how it feels different from regular meditation or visualization practices.

Afterward, jot down a few notes about your experience. Was it easy to stay present? What thoughts or feelings arose? Did you sense any shift in your energy?

Tomorrow: I'll share my insights on the power of clear intention in mediumship work—and how it transforms uncertain connections into confident, directed readings.
