COMMENTARY: HOW CAN I BOOK A SITTING WITH A DIRECT VOICE MEDIUM? People often ask us, how they can book an appointment for a sitting with a direct voice medium like Leslie Flint.
In our opinion, having a sustained conversation with a loved one through direct voice mediumship is the most convincing evidence for the afterlife, and it is a tragedy that this form of mediumship has become so rare.
There are very few direct voice mediums in the world today, and most demonstrate only for members of their home circle and sometimes for invited guests. This is partly for the safety of the medium and partly because of the need to create exactly the right conditions among the sitters for it to work. There's a handful of physical mediums who do give public demonstrations but not all of them facilitate reunions. And there are no guarantees that reunions will be on the agenda on a particular night.
If a grieving person is desperate to talk with a particular person they may be better advised to have a private reading with a recommended mental medium. They can also benefit from joining a community like Forever Family Foundation or Helping Parents Heal where they can get support from others, attend gatherings and conferences and be inspired by others' success in recognising signs and making contacts.
HOW TO HAVE A DREAM VISIT FROM A LOVED ONE
Loved ones in spirit frequently try to contact us through a dream visit. Susanne Wilson shares some ways that a grieving person can encourage such a visit.
THE ARTHUR FINDLAY COLLEGE WAS FOUNDED ON PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP Witnessing direct voice mediumship with John Sloan changed Arthur FIndlay's life and led to his passion for physical mediumship, particularly direct voice. His brilliant book "On The Edge of the Etheric" sets out his experiences. When he came through Leslie Flint in direct voice in 1975 he made it clear that his wish, when he bequeathed his home Stanstead Hall to the Spiritualists National Union, was that it be used for the development of physical mediumship as well as mental. Listen.
According to Martin Twycross
"It was Gordon Higginson [principal of the Arthur Findlay College from 1979 to 1993] who kept alive physical mediumship within the SNU by promoting courses on physical mediumship and demonstrating such at Stansted Hall and occasionally elsewhere. Many in the movement had no time for physical phenomena in spite of the fact that this was how modern Spiritualism started. It was Gordon and his staunch band of tutors who for decades ignored this mentality by providing regular courses at Stansted on physical mediumship".
As a direct result, of Gordon's physical mediumship,
Roy and Christine Wandless were reunited with their two children, John and Valerie, who had died from cystic fibrosis. As a result they donated over two million pounds to the JV Trust which generously supported urgent repairs to the building Stanstead Hall at a time that the College was threatened with closure.

"Why Physical mediumship is no longer taught at the Arthur Findlay College."
CHERYL PAGE TALKS ABOUT HER JOURNEY TO MEDIUMSHIP
Cheryl Page is a scientifically-minded clinical researcher by training who ran the research department at a hospital in New Hampshire. It was only after the tragic loss of the love of her life that she was awakened to her capabilities as a medium. She is living proof that we each have the ability to connect with those we love who have transitioned to the higher side of life. In this video she shares some extraordinary experiences about signs, readings, and the importance of asking "what if".
Cheryl runs a very popular free Zoom group "What If" on the first Tuesday of the month.
WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS THAT MAKE A MEDIUM? Professor Sylvia Hart-Wright published her research on this question in the Journal of Spirituality & Paranormal Studies.
"Sensitivity to psi appears to run in families. Intensely sensitive people often come from households with a history of psi or a strong belief in its reality and/or a history of multiple births such as twins. Mounting evidence also suggests that intensely psychic adults are particularly likely to have suffered severe trauma in their first 10-12 years. In general, women tend to be more psychic than men. The person least likely to be sensitive to psi is a man who had a generally pleasant childhood, is not the product of a multiple birth, and comes from a family with no history of psychic experiences or belief in psychic powers. In the special case of after-death communication, people with limited psychic gifts may nonetheless sense the presence of departed loved ones with whom they have an especially strong bond".

KIMBERLY CLARK SHARP SHOWN THE MEANING OF LIFE DURING HER NDE
Social worker Kimberly Clark Sharp has had 40 years of supporting people who have had a near-death experience through Seattle IANDS. She is well-known for her experience of discovering the blue tennis shoe on the ledge of a hospital that a migrant worker named Maria saw during her near-death experience. But in this interview, she shares her own near-death experience at the age of 22 and talks about the profound effects of it.
LESLIE KEAN ON IRRATIONAL DISMISSALS OF AFTERLIFE EVIDENCE
"It is generally not known that there are qualified scientists who have documented phenomena that are not supposed to be 'real', phenomena that some of their contemporary colleagues claim are literally impossible. That was one of my motivations for writing the book Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife. It goes without saying that genuine, open-minded skepticism is certainly positive, and all research must be scrutinized and debated. But I’m talking about closed-minded, irrational dismissals that create a strange sort of cognitive dissonance... When you have witnessed such 'impossible' events yourself, as I have, these denials from skeptics are especially difficult to ignore." Read more.
DO WE UNCONSCIOUSLY KNOW OUR LIFE PLAN?
"You chose your path before you came to earth. You then had awareness. It is dimmed by the fact that you have a physical body and a brain that is incapable of probing all the recesses that are in the subconscious part of your mind. You must have the crisis that becomes the catalyst that begins to awaken the awareness you originally had." Light from Silver Birch p. 80.
THE INNER VOICE MAGAZINE
Nancy Freier, author of Angel Guidance: Wisdom for Navigating Life's Challenges has been publishing her incredible high-quality Inner Voice Magazine monthly since 1992. Her communication with "the inner voice" consciously began on November 18, 1986 – the day her fiancé died. She taught herself an automatic handwriting technique with which to document the messages she began to hear. This month's magazine (featuring an interview with Wendy Zammit) is online here.

CAN YOU BE HARMED BY A CURSE?
We often hear from people who believe they have been brought bad luck through someone putting a 'curse' on them. In psychology and medicine, this is called The Nocebo Effect. The curse can only affect you if you believe it can - which is one reason why people who have influence over others (health professionals, teachers, parents, psychics and mediums etc) should avoid negative predictions.
TRIANGULATING AFTERLIFE ACCOUNTS
One of the exciting things about the internet is that investigators are now able to assemble thousands of personal accounts of conditions in the afterlife and put together a basic map. Dr. Dennis Grega and Michelle Szabo, have looked at the most reliable sources and completed a statistical analysis on the degree to which they are in agreement. They found the following levels of agreement between the sources:
Death Experience for Adults: (87%)
Death Experience for Children: (93.8%)
Transformation from Human to Spirit: (96.8%)
The Afterlife: (95%) Reincarnation: (97.3%)
Life on Earth: (94.7%)

SOMETHING INSPIRATIONAL: MY HEART WILL GO ON
Andre Rieu's most evocative, beautiful music. This segment is one of our very favorites accompanied by some spectacularly beautiful ice dancing in Vienna. The beautiful lyrics of the song capture the experiences of many of our subscribers whose loved ones come to them in dreams.
Lyrics
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you, go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life, we'll always go on
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
