Mediumship talk

HARTFORD — Pinpoint of Light Spiritualist Center, Hartford Town Hall, 1190 Main St., will present “Mediumship, A Gift of the Spirit,” throughout the month of February. On Feb. 5 at 10:30 a.m., the public is invited to explore and discuss mediumship in history.

A medium is one whose organism is sensitive to vibrations from the spirit world and through whose instrumentality, intelligences in that world are able to convey messages and produce the phenomena of spiritualism.

A psychic has the ability to tune in to the mental and emotional states of others, sometimes described as mind-to-mind communication. While a medium uses psychic abilities in communicating with spirit, not all psychic phenomena is spirit communication.
