I don't always see spirits. In fact, when I've done a reading I typically get what I call "still shots" of various things, places, and sometimes people. Every know and then I'll get a short "video" of an event that is relevant to my client. I don't have to meditate, I just have to take a deep breath and allow the images to start coming in. It's not always the spirit the person is looking for. For example, my girlfriend's mother wanted a reading and I got images and scenes that floored her. It was a man who put the moves on her way back when she was working as a mover. He was delighted to see her, wanted to tell her that she made the right decision to be faithful, and he apologized. He needed that to move on. Nothing seriously moving. I saw no image of the man. However, I felt an impression that he thought he was God's gift to ladies. believer wrote:This is a question for the Mediums of this board. Do you see the dead or spirits all the time or only with meditation. Can you be walking in a Mall and see them following along?
I also did a reading for a woman I know and her grandmother came through. Again, things I wasn't familiar with clued her in, but she was still uncertain as to who it was. Then, just as we were closing the spirit began to whisper a children's song. She began to cry... it was her grandmother. Very moving.
Most of the time, I don't see spirits. I feel them, get impressions, and images. Sometimes I don't know exactly what anything has to do with anything else. More often than not, my client puts together everything that I tell them and explains to me who it was.
