Mental Mediumship is simply a form of communication between a spiritual entity and an earthbound 'medium' where the mind of the medium is the receiver for this information. The best comparison for this type of communication is to liken the mediumship to a 'telephonist'. A telephonist answers a phone call and there is a person on the line wishing to be connected another person. Similarly, mental mediumship is where the medium receives a 'call' from the spirit realm; the medium then connects this call to the person in need of the 'connection'. The only difference is, that the medium does most of the talking, 'delivering the message', and depending on how good he/she is at making the link depends on the clarity of the message being given.
Mental Mediumship falls into a number of 'popularised' categories; the three main ones being:
1. "Clairvoyance" or the process of 'clear seeing' the information;
2. "Clairsentience" or the process of 'clear sensing' the information;
3. "Clairaudience" or the process of 'clear hearing' the information.
