To avoid any personal interference with the received messages, mediums often ask for validation to ensure that the communication with the deceased is clear and accurate. For a better understanding of how these messages are received, here are some examples of how spirits can communicate with mediums:
- Clairsentience - means feeling emotions, impressions, energy waves, sensing a presence, or other sensations coming from the spirit world
- Clairaudience - means hearing whispered words, sounds
- Clairvoyance - refers to seeing images, scenes, visions, and symbols.
- Claircognizance - is experienced when sudden, unexpected knowing or understanding occurs apparently from nowhere
