In today's world the language of Spirit communication is changing and you will hear more about inspirational speaking, overshadowing, channelling and trance as we are growing spiritually and becoming much more aware.

Inspirational speaking is an form of mental mediumship (clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience) where words are impressed on the medium by mind to mind communication and this is only possible via a sincere and pure connection to ensure that what is given by Spirit comes from The Light. 

Overshadowing is where Spirit wraps themselves around the medium's aura in order to impress their thoughts and personality.

Channelling is similar to trance mediumship and is sometimes used as an alternative word for trance. However, they are not to be confused. Trance is the deeper form of communication where Spirit literally joins with us at the physical level. Channelling itself has many levels of awareness and control. However, the spirit guide does not enter the subtle bodies and physical body to the same degree. Often there is little or no change to the medium’s/channel’s appearance or voice as the spirit guide attaches to the vessel.
