This week, I am talking about \u201csitting with spirit\u201d as part of my personal development practice. I talked about this in the episode about making time for your development, but this episode will be more in depth. I am going to lead you through a guided visualization experience as an example of one way I sit with spirit. Even though I was aware of mediumship for most of my life, my development path didn\u2019t start until my first mediumship connection. Sitting in the power is a foundational part of the Spiritualist tradition and teachings, but as I\u2019ve mentioned before, it wasn\u2019t sustainable for me. I need more flexibility in my practice, which is how I started sitting with spirit.\n\xa0\nThis is also why I teach The Initiation, my 8-Week Mediumship Foundations Experience, the way that I do. I provide a variety of learning formats such as live classes, self-paced lessons, Q+A opportunities, community and practice readings. I want this path to be accessible to as many people as possible! Many alumni from this experience go on to join my monthly membership, the Spirit School Collective, so I have a special deal for 2023. For the first time, I will be offering an annual membership for $1111 USD and it will include The Initiation (a $888 USD value) for FREE! The cart for this will be open until we start on January 31st, so there is time to decide if this feels aligned for you.\n\xa0\nI hope that what I share in this episode helps you to find a spiritual practice that fits your needs so that you can continue to expand on your path.\n\nSpirit School Links\nInitiation Waitlist: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/636318632d6246fc1453ca16\nJoin us on the new FREE Spirit School platform: https://myspiritschoolcollective.com/plans/\nJoin the Spirit School Collective: https://www.squamishmedium.com/spiritschoolcollective\nVisit Spirit School at https://www.squamishmedium.com/ for all courses and upcoming programs\nView full transcripts of podcast episodes at https://www.squamishmedium.com/blog\nIn this episode:\nA sitting in the power practice will improve your mediumship and connection with yourself\nMeditation and slowing down can be hard for some people\xa0\nIt can feel unsafe and cause discomfort to be present in the body\nSpirit School is all about development that honours your humanity\nI dedicated 30 minutes a day to my spiritual growth and sitting with spirit\xa0\nI chose between meditation, oracle cards, and tuning into clients for upcoming sessions\nI had a profound experience with Skylar that introduced me to connecting through pendulums\nI would sometimes use my sitting with spirit time to listen to mediumship lectures\xa0\nOne of my claircognizant exercises is to journal things that can be validated tomorrow\nI keep all of my development journals and can see the accuracy of the lists increasing\nNo matter which practice I chose, I always dedicated 30 minutes a day to sitting with spirit\nWhen you care about it, you will make space for development\nMy goal is to make spiritual development accessible, so choose what resonates with you\nIt is a great act of self love to have space to tune into yourself, even for 30 minutes\nYour sensitivity and connection to yourself and your intuition will increase\nThe world of spirit watches us and helps align things that match our intentions and actions\nWild spiritual experiences have followed after dedicated to sitting with spirit\nEven when things get busy, I yearn for that connection and spend time sitting with spirit\nThis helps us to open our awareness back up to spirit when it feels like it\u2019s closed up\nMusic can help busy minds to stay present when sitting in the power\nSitting with Spirit Visualization with music
