- A séance is a gathering or ritual session in which we attempt to communicate with spirits or entities from the spiritual realm through a medium. Through tools such as Ouija boards, dowsing pendulums, or simply through meditation and focused intention, we can also learn how to conduct séances and independently connect with the spirit world to receive messages, guidance, or insights.
If you want to hold a truly effective séance, you need a good medium to act as a medium to communicate with the spirits. Communication with deceased entities has always fascinated us. Some people feel they need to say things that were not said before their loved one passed away, that they need closure. But, for the most part, we really want to know what the spiritual world is like.
so, Let’s get metaphysics: See a psychic and learn how to do your own healing. Whether you want to enrich your circle of friends or simply enter the mystical world, a séance has you covered.
You might even get your 15 minutes of fame with something like “Official Houdini Séance” [theofficialhoudiniseance.com]. Each year, on the month and day (Halloween) of Houdini’s death – October 31, 1926 – an official seance is held to commemorate his spirit.
Houdini famously investigated claims of spirit contact for 30 years but found no real examples. But he did promise his wife that he would connect with her if possible. To date, there are no records of him having “conversations” with Houdini during séances or through other supernatural means.
I mention this because trying to contact a loved one who has transitioned can make for a solemn gathering. But calling out each other’s celebrities can be light-hearted and often downright hysterical. Think Elvis Presley, Michael Landon, the Three Stooges, Marilyn Monroe, the President of the United States, and more.
How to Hold a Séance Safely
A safe spiritual séance requires a real medium, sane attendees, and an environment.
The presence of a skilled medium will enhance the experience by acting as a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms, providing a clearer interpretation of the messages received.
Psychics are able to channel different spirits of the dead. If you don’t know one, go in person to a metaphysical bookstore in your area. They may be able to connect you to a wonderful medium. Alternatively, you can explore some of the large psychic portals on the Internet and find a good medium willing to conduct a séance with your party via a Zoom or Skype video link. You don’t need a lot of people, but if you have ten or more seats, you can split the per-minute cost of media between you and host a very economical event.
It’s best to choose a quiet space with as few distractions as possible. Generally speaking, all guests are called “babysitters.” The “key” to creating the right atmosphere is that every diner must want to be there. Either sit your guests around a round table or in a circle on the floor, and then you want to invite people to join hands. For about 10 minutes, it is best for all sitters to get comfortable and focus on deep breathing. Play soft background music. You’ll need some candles and ritual items to help get the best energy for your séance.
Well, let’s experience a séance: Turn off the lights. Candlelight lures souls and emits enough light to see each other. Burn incense if desired. Give the séance to your medium, who will direct everyone to focus on the spirit they wish to contact. Mediums summon spirits to participate in séances. He/she may use metaphysical tools such as a Ouija board or a pendulum. If they ask about the spirit board in the center of the table, the entities may not answer, or they may answer but deliver nonsense and refuse to answer questions about the candy thereafter. Some mediums will enter a trance state and channel directly. Remember, when someone comes over, you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the spirit world.
Sit in silence. Release all expectations. It is important to know that in a real seance it is impossible to attract base spirits. There is only love and light across the veil, and even if a person is dirty in life, once it passes, they are in love and light. (Contrary to what those who run the organization may teach). If anything negative happens, you should know that it’s the active imagination of someone on your team at work. Invite them politely to leave. If they refuse, the medium should abruptly end the séance.
As the hosting medium prepares to end the séance, they thank all spirits or energies that participated and end the session with a closing ceremony or prayer. It’s a good practice to ground yourself by taking deep breaths and reconnecting with your surroundings.
The party after the séance. Make sure you have a psychic to answer every question for everyone and clear up any personal confusion.
Take time to reflect on the experience afterwards. What insights or messages did you receive? How will this séance make you feel? Documenting your experiences can help you process and integrate any information you gain.
How to conduct a séance using a Ouija board
When you conduct your own Ouija Board Séance, it is best to only ask simple questions of the spirit world. Make time for the ghost to say a word or two by moving your hands slowly across the board. When you feel an energy taking over a ghost, you should identify yourself by spelling out your true name.
Ouija Board Séance Warning: If you think you’re connected to dark energy because you spelled out junk, know that you’re not holding a séance somewhere. You’re not talking to the dead, you’re just bringing out human fears and superstitions from the meeting participants. Click here for a guide to asking the right spirit board.
How to Use a Divining Pendulum to Conduct a Séance
If you want to host a solo seance, start by creating a peaceful atmosphere with soft lighting and calming music. Clear your mind and set positive intentions for the meeting. Hold a dowsing pendulum gently between your thumb and forefinger and let it swing freely. Focus on your question or intention and watch the pendulum move. Trust your intuition when you interpret its movement, it can mean yes, no or maybe. Invite kind souls to join you in expressing love and gratitude. Remember, this is a tool to access your inner wisdom and the spiritual energy around you. Open your heart with curiosity and know that you are surrounded by love and support from the spiritual realm.
