Is Mediumship The Path For Me?
This post answers a question for The Council from a reader named. Audrey. She says, I had an abusive childhood and when I grew up I was abused by partners also.
Audrey says, I met the love of my life in 2012 and he passed away in 2018, which almost destroyed me. I was numb and for a long time I wanted to join him. About a year after he passed away I had visions of him and heard him talk to me. I still feel him around and sometimes he gets into bed with me.
Audrey continues, I attended a circle this past year and started to feel more and more like my mental and physical health took a dive, and I don’t feel spirit like I used to. The Council says since you attended this group if you feel that your mental and physical feelings are on a downward spiral, we’d say that’s a sign you need to work on your own and not put yourself in a relationship that makes you feel unwell.
You need to read more books on spirit. The easiest one we always recommend is Emmanuel, by Pat Rodegast. Read that and you’ll connect with this spirit, and this book will lead you to others. You need to meditate and be with your thoughts. Learn to feel the energy. A nice technique is The Reconnection. We believe a book was written about this by Eric Pearl called, Heal Yourself, Heal Others. Play with this energy and you’ll advance. It’s simple. You’ll begin to know how to move energy and how to create with it. It’s a wonderful beginning for you.
Audrey continues, Is my path mediumship, or is it something else? The Council says if this is something you want, you can go in this direction. We don’t see where you created this life to be a medium. Learn about spirit so that you understand it and you can connect, and then tell other people how they can do this. You can be a medium and connect with spirits that have passed, and do this for other people, but it’s not what you planned.
Audrey closes by saying, I want to be able to help people with proof because I needed it after my boyfriend died. The Council says you have the proof because you truly have a connection with this person who’s passed on. And this proof is for you. By sharing your experiences you plant the seeds in others that they can also connect with spirit and you offer them ways to try this. This is how you’ll help other people open up to connecting in that way.
The Council closes by wishing us all peace, love, and light. And they say have fun on your path. Always look for the fun. Happiness will bring in everything you wish to create, whether you know what it is now or not. Your higher self knows. And when you stay happy, your higher self can bring what you desire into your life.
Listen to the entire 5-minute audio recording of our session with The Council (below) to hear all their guidance for Audrey and the rest of us and let us know what you feel about it. You can also ask The Council your own question by typing it into one of the Comment boxes that appear at the bottom of most of our blog pages.

Welcome
Bob & Cynthia
Welcome to Ask The Council, a blog where you can ask a group of loving and wise spirit guides a question and get an answer, for free. You can also contact us for a paid private phone session with The Council, and you can read the questions other readers have asked and the answers they’ve received. Other posts contain quotations from The Council that we hope you find inspiring, uplifting, and educational.
Ask The Council a Question
If there’s a question you’ve been thinking about and you’re curious how The Council might answer it, we encourage you to either use the blog’s Comments feature to ask your question, or contact us for a private phone session. You can click here to go to the ‘Let us know what you think about this post, or ask The Council a question’ section of this Welcome post and type your question there or you can type your question in the same section at the bottom of any post that inspires you to ask a question or leave a comment.
Since the blog is currently a project we do in our spare time it can take a while for us to do a session with The Council on a question and then publish a post on the session. Depending on the question and the session it can sometimes take weeks after a question is asked to publish a post with The Council’s answer. Please be patient.
The Council
Cynthia is able to communicate with a group of five non-physical spirit guides in a manner similar to the way Esther Hicks communicates with and speaks for the spirit guides, Abraham, and Jane Roberts communicated and spoke for the spirit guide, Seth. I (Bob) basically interview The Council as they speak through Cynthia during what we refer to as a session. Sessions generally last 5-15 minutes and are usually audio recorded. During the session Cynthia is aware of what The Council is saying and she also receives visual impressions and other types of telepathic communication from them.
The Council’s Basic Guidance
Since we began these sessions with The Council around 2009 they consistently emphasize a few basic ideas that we attempt to summarize here:
1) You are an eternal spiritual being in a physical body.
You are the energy and vibration of continuously expanding love, intelligence, and joy.
Your physical experience in your physical body and your psychological experience of your personality is a small part of the totality of who you truly are.
Let yourself imagine from time to time what it might feel like to experience more of the wondrous totality of who you really are, and don’t be surprised if you are able to experience this more often.
2) You are the creator of all that you experience.
As you open to the possibility your true nature is greater than you ordinarily perceive, it becomes easier to consider the possibility that this expanded you is truly the creator of everything that you experience.
If you’re used to thinking of yourself in a more limited sense, the idea that you are the creator of your experience may be difficult to understand. Our post, What About This Idea That We Create Whatever We Desire, offers insights into this idea.
3) You are here to expand the love you are into physical reality.
You chose, as a spiritual being, to come into this physical reality to experience the joy of expanding the love you are as a spiritual being, into this physical reality. This is your purpose for being here.

Hello Cynthia and Bob. I feel so grateful to be a reader of your messages. Your answers to other people’s questions have inspired me and helped me in many ways. Sometimes I feel like you are talking to me as well as the person who asked the question. My question is this, What am I supposed to do about the difficult person who is my ex husband and the father of my children? Things have been rocky over the years but my children are almost grown. In fact, my youngest will be finished with high school in a year. My ex belittles me and makes it hard for me to coparent with him. I recently really stood up to him and it felt great! But I am not sure it aligned with the “most benevolent outcome”. Any perspective on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
