Why I still consider myself a student

I have worked with mediumship for many years, and I have had the privilege of teaching others who are beginning their own journey. I am also an author, a church medium and, more recently, I have begun exploring physical mediumship.

But there is one word I would never want to lose:

Student.

Because I believe that the moment we think we have nothing left to learn is the moment we stop developing.

Mediumship has taught me that there is always another question to ask, another experience to understand and another part of ourselves to explore.

My journey didn't begin with a desire to become a medium. It began with grief.

After losing my dad, I found myself drawn towards the Spiritualist Church. I went along with my mam, and for many years the church became part of my life. At the time, I couldn't have known where that journey would eventually lead me.

After my mam passed away, my own development in mediumship began.

What followed was not an overnight transformation. It was a journey of learning, sitting, listening, questioning, making mistakes, gaining confidence and, perhaps most importantly, learning patience.

I have attended the Arthur Findlay College on numerous occasions and have continued to learn through teachers, fellow students, circles and my own experiences.

And even now, I don't believe I have reached the end of that journey.

Far from it.

In fact, beginning my journey into physical mediumship has reminded me of that more than ever.

There is something very humbling about being at the beginning of something again. You have questions. You don't know exactly where it will lead. You have experiences that make you stop and wonder, and other times when nothing seems to happen at all.

But perhaps that is what being a student really means.

It means remaining curious.

It means being prepared to question your own assumptions.

It means listening to others.

It means accepting that not every experience has an immediate explanation.

And it means being willing to say:

“I don't know yet.”

I think that is an important part of spiritual development.

For me, mediumship should never be about creating an impression. It should be about genuine development, evidence, experience and a willingness to keep learning.

That is also something I try to pass on to my students.

I don't want to simply tell people what to think. I want to encourage them to explore, to develop their own awareness and to discover what they are capable of.

My own journey is still continuing.

And perhaps that is why I call this website my journey too.

I am a medium.

I am a teacher.

I am an author.

I am exploring physical mediumship.

But above all, I am still a student.

And I think I always will be.
