Platform Mediumship In Spiritualism

Have you ever wondered, “What is Platform Mediumship?” Here’s a little history on Platform Mediumship that will begin to answer your question.

Currently, the latest trend in the spiritual world of spirit communication is platform demonstrations by mediums! These events are the perfect opportunity for mediums to showcase their talents and spread the word about their services. 

So, What Is Platform Mediumship?

Spiritualism Ebbs and Flows in Popularity

Spiritualism and talking to the dead ebbs and flows in popularity. In the 1920s, the movement died down, but gained momentum once again in the 1970s. Soon, mediums became very popular once again and some even had weekly television shows.

Soon others such as James Van Praagh and Silvia Browne (now deceased), became highly popular as well by writing best-selling books and appearing on popular talk shows.

I’ve personally attended multiple platform demonstrations, and let me tell you, they are both entertaining and enlightening. I once had a Medium tell me something that happened in my childhood that no one on earth could have known about but me!

How Platform Mediumship Works

Picture this: the medium takes center stage, standing in the middle of a large circle or on a platform, surrounded by eager attendees. People are typically handed small pencils and pieces of notepaper as they enter the venue. Then the medium begins the demonstration by asking permission to deliver a message to a specific person in the audience. They then proceed to conduct the message-giving process, reminiscent of a séance. 

However, unlike traditional séances, the lights may not be dimmed, and the room can be quite spacious to accommodate all the attendees. Demonstrations can have anywhere from 25 people present, but imagine the energy in an auditorium filled with thousands, like when James Van Praagh, John Edwards, or John Holland take the stage. 

So, if you ever have an opportunity to attend a demonstration, go to one and see what it’s like. Perhaps you are a skeptic. But if the medium is the real deal, you will be amazed at what transpires and perhaps get a mini-reading from the Spirit World for yourself! In fact, I’ve attended five of James Van Praagh’s demonstrations and loved every minute of them.
