Is Platform Mediumship Right for You? Explore Spirit Communication in Front of an Audience

Platform-based mediumship demonstrations are growing in popularity. At these popular events, the medium stands in the middle or front of the room and gives readings to the audience. These are small-to-significant events hosted in churches, event centers, restaurants, libraries, host homes, and more.

The roots of platform-based mediumship can be traced back to the 1840s, when the Fox sisters sparked a spiritual movement in the United States. This movement started to fuel people's longing to communicate with their departed loved ones. As a result, spiritual churches began to emerge, laying the foundation for the platform-style readings we see today.

Today, we see many mediums taking to the stage to share their abilities with audiences. Virtual hosting rooms like Zoom make attending or hosting platform events reasonably easy.

Are platform demonstrations right for you?

If you're a practicing medium who thrives under the spotlight, platform-based mediumship could be a rewarding path for you. These events often draw a crowd of 10 or more, presenting a unique opportunity to hone your skills in a high-pressure environment. Starting in smaller groups and gradually building your audience can help you ease into this form of spiritual connection.

Consider that the more people who attend a demonstration, the more souls will be present. You'll be able to let spirit come to you rather than going into a reading with the hopes of connecting with someone specific to that sitter. It could take some of those types of pressure off of your shoulders.

I have seen mediums get so comfortable with platform-styled readings that they lose interest in one-on-one spiritual readings altogether. However, what is right for one is not always suitable for another.

If you're eager to explore platform-based mediumship and are looking for a supportive environment to start your practice, I recommend joining a spiritual circle. This article, The Role of Spiritual Circles in Mediumship Development provides a comprehensive guide to these circles and how they can enhance your mediumship journey.
