There are people who do something called trance channeling as a way of Mediumship. When that happens, the spirit of the person who passed speaks through the channel, who is in a hypnotic trance.
While that is a form of mediumship, it is something I do NOT do. There are many reasons for this, and the biggest one is that you can never be quite sure who is coming through. On top of that trance Mediumship is a form of possession, which can leave serious spiritual and emotional scars on the person doing the channeling.
Mediumship in itself is like a connection, mail carrier, and reporter rolled into one. Think of it like this: If we think of the physical plane as Island A and the Other Side as Island B, there is a bridge that connects these two islands.
The bridge is not the medium. Instead, the bridle is the love that we have and share with the people who have passed. My job as the medium is to get into a boat and go under the bridge, describing the traffic of validating symbols, messages and emotions that are constantly going back and forth on that bridge of love.
