Trance mediumship is a working partnership between the medium/channel and the spirit guide(s). Sometimes it is confused with possession and it should not be; in no way is the trance medium possessed. All of Lidia’s Ascended Masters (spirit guides) have been tested in front of several witnesses to ensure that they are from the Light. This is at all times a consentual and loving relationship between spirit guides and the medium.

The trance medium always has control over when they enter a trance state. Some of this confusion arises because of the use of the word control. spirit guides do indeed take control of the trance medium’s mind, body and voice, but not without consent (if at any time this happens without consent, you are in the presence of a deceiving spirit pretending to be a Spirit of Light).

The depth of that control and the level of consciousness of the trance medium also varies depending on the intent and conditions of the communication. Therefore, trance mediumship has several levels or layers. These layers refer to the lack of conscious awareness of the medium and the amount of control Spirit has. The levels range from light trance to deep trance (or full trance). Lidia goes into deep full trance when channelling her ascended masters (spiritual guides). Deep trance is more often associated with physical mediumship and phenomena (such as ectoplasm, apports and apparitions).

Lidia often channels her ascended masters (spirit guides) when she is coaching or teaching. Only occasionally do people notice any change in her voice when this occurs. Channelling is the level most often used for automatic writing, where a degree of physical control is required to move the pen but no other physical changes are needed. There is a fine line between channelling and light trance and sometimes they are hard to tell apart. In truth the purity of what is spoken is all that matters.

The reason for spirit guides using these forms of communication is to bring forward clear and unaltered information. The trance medium/channel move their conscious mind out of the way so they do not alter what is spoken and the true message is delivered. Lidia often advises her students not to worry about being aware but instead to let go of needing to be in control. As you let go of control, you naturally let go of the conscious mind and it becomes passive, thus allowing Spirit to speak more freely.

As the world is changing and seeking more guidance, more and more people are being called on by Spirit to act as messengers. It does not matter whether you are a psychic, channeller, trance medium or lightworker. The only thing that matters are the words that are spoken.
