Takeaways
Studying at the International Institute of Advanced Metaphysics in Sedona provided Marlene with a spiritual awakening and the ability to offer readings and interpretations.
Mersadie had a near-death experience as a child and believes she may have been a 'walking' - a spirit that enters another body to make an impact or change.
Marlene differentiates between being a medium and a shaman, stating that being a shaman requires being born into a tribe.
Mersadie has had experiences with spirits, including seeing a ghost in a nursing home and connecting with her deceased father.
She believes that spirits can come and go at will and may stick around if they have a strong connection with someone. Mediumship is a natural gift that can be developed with training.
During readings, mediums may have visual, auditory, or sensory experiences.
Cleansing environments can be done using salt, smudging, or other methods.
Mediums can provide comfort and healing to those who have lost loved ones.
Animal totem poles can be used for therapy and spiritual growth.
Mediums can teach others how to connect with spirit and develop their own gifts.
Remote readings and collaborations with other mediums are possible.
