ACCESSING YOUR INTUITION

Mediumship... ...continued from page 57

symbols as this is how spirit communicates. One cannot become dys- lexic — and nor would you want to have dyslexia! As one who suffers from it, the world of words is challenging. * * * If you recognize yourself in this article, or if you have a deep inter - est in developing your connection to spirit, innate or not, I strongly encourage you to do so. While we may not all rise to the Yo-Yo Ma-lev - el of mediumship, there is room for the medium equivalent of wed- ding singers, shower crooners, and coffee house performers amongst us. The path to mediumship will be the most difficult and emotionally challenging pursuit you will ever love. Annie Larson, a psychic medium, is a sought-after speaker, read - er, teacher, and healer who has been featured in TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, and newspapers, including the Washington Post. She meets clients in-person in her office in Sterling, Virginia, via phone, and online. She also hosts immersive intuitive development and me - diumship retreats to help those looking to explore individual abilities. Learn more at www.MediumAnnieLarson.com.

Common Traits of Mediums Mediums share a lot of common traits, including ailments, diseas - es, electronic anomalies, childhood trauma, atmospheric sensitivities, food allergies, learning issues, sleep disorders, astrological signs, and heartbeat irregularities. Mediums have been studied by universities, governments, and private organizations. Both the University of Vir - ginia and North Carolina’s Duke University have some of the oldest psi study programs. Psi (from the Greek word psyche , meaning “mind” or “soul”) is often used as an overall term for extra-sensory perception, or ESP (psychic abilities or our sixth sense), and psychokinesis, the ability to move objects with our mind. In a 2019 study by the Windbridge Research Center , researchers conducted a survey of 124 who identified as mediums, and 222 who identified as non-mediums. As detailed in Disease Burden in Medi - ums, a significantly higher proportion of mediums reported having been diagnosed with at least one autoimmune disorder (35.2% vs 18.9%). The disease most often reported by mediums was Hashimo - to’s thyroiditis (11.2%). It’s not surprising that mediums, like me, suf - fer from Hashimoto’s as the thyroid, found in the throat, is affected by the disease. (If mediums are suppressed from being able to speak their truth, it will have an impact on the throat area. Few mediums readily share that they have abilities, especially if the abilities came at a young age.) Other reported disorders that were higher amongst those identified as mediums are: water retention, bruising easily, mi - graines, asthma, food intolerances, and sleep disturbances. Dyslexia, a learning disorder that involves a difficulty in the abili - ty to read, is anecdotally common amongst mediums, although there isn’t research to support this — yet. However, there might be good reasons for this, given a person with dyslexia processes information visually, or conceptually, in their head (or mind’s eye) in 3D. Only ten percent of the population naturally process data this way. Most pro - cess information verbally, as written in The Dyslexic Advantage , by Drs. Brack and Fernette Eide. To understand how dyslexia might help with spirit communica- tion, take for instance, reading the word orange . A verbal processor sees the word orange . A visual processor sees an orange. One with dyslexia sees the orange as both a picture and a symbol of an orange, which engages distinct parts of the brain. In mediumship communi- cation, this is extremely important to be able to use the language of
