Medium’s Secret: I Don’t Have a Process
If you're new to this blog, you may want to subscribe.
Thanks for reading Vera Nadine!
Whew! That was harder than I thought.
It scares me to say it, “I don’t have a process.”
You are all out there reading this and you are very precious to me, each of you. Things go strangely in the blogging realm.
I expected to get such a big response when I started offering to answer questions and do spiritual path readings. The shocker was: I didn’t. I got no response, zip, zilch, zero.
Then recently, I expected to get absolutely no response when I started to talk about my brief encounters with spirits. Shocker was: I did. I got a huge response! All asking for more, More, MORE.
My sense is that folks want to know how it’s done. How do you connect to spirits, ascended beings, deities and such?
Many of the other spiritualists, lightworkers and mediums offer fantastically detailed explanations of their process. This is great because it helps educate folks who want readings as to what to expect. And more importantly, it serves to assist others who are trying to develop their own talents to know where to start.
I am so grateful for all of your awesome responses to the Medium Adventures stuff. But I don’t always know how to answer your questions on how it happens.
As for those talented psychics out there that share all of their inner workings and modes of connection.. I proudly look on in awe and with just as much intrigue as non-psychics when they detail their methods.
The challenge in life is to be most honest when you are afraid to be, to get off of your chest what bothers you most.
My Ego doesn’t want me to do this. It is afraid that I’ll get wounded. (Spirit says, “We’re all One…just go for it.”)
The Ego is also afraid that it, the “self,” won’t measure up to all of the other beautiful souls who communicate with universal forces, the ones that Ego would like to trick Vera into seeing as separate from herself.
So, in response to my desire to meet all personal challenges head-on, and also to nail the Ego on it’s “selfness,” I say to all of my friends and subscribers - here it is: I DON’T HAVE A PROCESS.
That is my biggest secret. Off my chest, finally.
This is how it works for me: I sit down, or even stand up, or even sit on the toilet and I say “let me hear it” and that’s it…they come.
Yes, I have two permanent guides.
One stands at my left shoulder, the other to my right.
But they only give long missives most times, for which I sit and say “let her rip,” but with a tape recorder.
The others just pop in and out and talk in my head.
They show me pictures which I may or may not write down or speak out loud.
I let them come through whenever I have a spare moment to donate and sometimes they come deliberately because of another person who is in the room.
But generally they are just random spirits who want to pass on wisdoms, want help to heal their pain or just want a quick “how’s your father?”
This is not me bragging, far from it actually.
I very frequently wonder how much better I could be if I developed a “practice” per se.
Maybe if I add in a colored crystal prism in which I sit, surrounded by the four elements and call in some uber-fantastic ancient forces, eat only veggies and water on days when I actually “do it” and pick specially significant hours of the day, I could really focus in on the more exact and personal stuff that people need in order to help them better.
I ponder my limitations and wonder if that is what I should be doing. Perhaps my simplistic “open and speak” approach to channeling is a fault. Maybe I am doing it wrong?
Then I think, “Wait a minute there self-doubt machine!” “You are as good of a channel as you need to be at this point in your life.”
We are all learning at all times. And growing. And changing.
I know that I will get to that elusive “somewhere” when and if I am meant to.
You cherish what you have and be thankful for your uniqueness…
Besides if I can just sit down on a park bench and say “Now!” and they descend, why complain?

I love how you make me laugh.
And how you articulate the dialogue between Ego and Soul.
And who says we need a process?
Cool…
And I’m SURE I submitted a Q & A a few weeks back… but I don’t think it’s been answered. Will go check and resubmit if not…

What a great post! I’ll definitly visit more often!
I always doubt myself when I pick up conversations when I’m alone…wondering if maybe I’m mad, and that’s why I’m hearing voices :)

Well done Vera - Congratulations on getting through another challenge :-)
You have amazing gifts - to be able to call on Spirit the way you do is fantastic, your writing is wonderful and your ability to drop in a chuckle at just the right moment is inspiring.
All gifts that make Vera who she is - a very talented person with one foot in heaven and the other firmly on the Earth - bask in that, offer thanks and keep being you I’m loving the unfolding.
Big kudos for
*But generally they are just random spirits who want to pass on wisdoms, want help to heal their pain or just want a quick “how’s your father?”*
I’m still smiling at that one now.
You hit the nail firmly on its head with a little word hidden away in a big paragraph - that word is ‘donate’. It speaks volumes about you and your approach - it gives away so much. You ‘give’ yourself for the benefit of guidance to others - there is NO Higher Calling - stop doubting, stop trying and just BE the Beautiful creation that you are :-)
Much love,

Wow! Thanks for the great feedback, all of you.
I went to bed wondering if this post was the right thing to do.
I see my worries were unfounded…as usual.
There ARE good people in the world (and they’re reading my blog!) ;) ;)
Blessings,
Vera Nadine
PS. I’m on hiatus for a few days with a “real” world assignment - I’ll be back blogging on Wednesday. :)

In my mind, the divine is personal to one’s self. The experience is entirely unique yet one and the same with everyone.
Buddha makes sense to me when he recognizes the “oneness of duality”.
Everything is and isnt. Words that attempt to define are just that.
Gah! This is my problem, I get this far using logical statements that I see in my mind to attempt to relate something that exists behind thought.
You cant get to the center without peeling the outside first….
When I re-read what I write on this topic it doesn’t follow.
The path I thought I was taking never looks the same when your on it. Its the way things must work it seems. Those with the will to look inside will find it, some don’t. Its extremely hard for me to comprehend how people never figure out the power of positive thought. The power of questioning yourself and your being.
I have had no dealings with anything I would consider a spirit, something unique and relative to a person who once existed according to human record. I do however believe the divine speaks to me.
The process is happening every moment, now and forever the divine will speak.
Thanks for letting me ramble here. When im motivated to write or do anything I like to capitalize.
Just feels right…. I call it right motivation. Sounds like something Ive read before.

Vera,
You DO have a process — the best kind — an incredibly, simply, intuitive one!
It is said that experts are those who have integrated a process to the point where they do not think about it or labor over it — experts tend to do something extremely fast, due to habitual action.
Now, TEACHING someone else how to do it is what requires you to step outside and examine it. Channeling information and describing how you channel information are two different things. You can certainly do one, the other, and in this case, probably both.
Your honesty and transparency is authentic — no doubt many people relate to having NOT examined what they do and how they do it — and it’s a challenge to observe yourself from the distance of the thinking mind.
Having no process, or a process so simple you don’t have to think about it, is ideal. But I’m really thrilled that you’re exploring this for other people, and I have personally wanted to have this conversation.

Hi there
I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. I have been interacting with spirits all my life and a witch for as long as ic an remember. Over the past four or five years I have been in several development circles trying to increase my mediumistic ability. Boy was that a mistake. i dont feel I am a medium, I dont have a process and I dont have a guide called jim or red feather and I cant do psychometry etc etc. it just made me feel a bit of a failure because i couldn’t conform. I then got a wake up call I am me I do readings for people and I soetimes get spirit messages and sometimes I dont. I often have spirits visit me at home, some with messages and some just to say hi. And like you I feel that this is what I should be doing, this is how I work and when I dont try and force it it works well. Thanks for making e feel I am not the only one who doe not have a process but just does it. I am glad I am not the only one.
