Mediumship is something that has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. As a small child I suppose I could say that I was very sensitive, to the point that I would feel other people's heavy emotions or pain; I could be lifted by their joy and happiness in just the same way. It's easy for me now to recognize that I was a natural intuitive who was very often affected by the atmosphere around me.
The function of a medium is to be the conduit between this life and the afterlife or spirit world. Every medium is intuitive or psychic, but not every psychic is a medium. With the luxury of hindsight, I can clearly see that my sensitive nature as a child was part of what was to build to become the gift of mediumship, which I first experienced at the age of six, going on seven.

I also recall feeling that I was in a bubble or membrane of sorts, which felt safe and had a dreamy quality. It also had a sort of buzzing sensation that was pleasant.
Ummy smiled at me the way he always did and his eyes looked so alive and happy. He was singing softly, to a tune I'd never heard, 'We will be buried in Dalbeth.' I had no idea what this meant, but it was infectious, so I began to sing along.
I've no idea how long he was in front of me, but as he began to move steadily away in the direction he'd come from, I felt that the bubble I was in had burst and instinctively I ran into the house.
My mother was standing at the kitchen sink peeling potatoes.
