Tony Stockwell Mediumship Seminar

Tony Stockwell and me.

So, that is me back from my wee weekend away with my mammy. She was kind enough to come along with me because I was too scared to stay in a hotel on my own and the seminar started too early for me too travel through. When I booked it I was stoked about meeting Tony Stockwell but as time passed I was looking forward to spending some time with my mum more. She is just awesome by the way, mum’s are the best. It turned out to be mother’s day weekend and as I had booked to stay another night at the hotel till the Sunday- it was such a good treat for her. We had a blast. She is hilarious.

Soooo Tony Stockwell arrived the night before with Maureen who is my teacher (he sponsors her). Mum and I registered after breakfast and the whole place was buzzing. There were about 50 people there but it didn’t seem crowded. Tony was much taller than I expected and really handsome. He began by asking what levels people were at, beginners, practising, platform mediums etc. He spoke about the practicalities of mediumship, what people expect of you, how tough that can be, what you should expect of yourself, how hard it can be, how hard you end up being on yourself, how to deal with that…….all the things that people need to hear when thinking about embarking on mediumship training. People can come in for a lot of stick, some really tough or emotional situations and it is appropriate to know that. He explained that in the best and most light hearted way he could and I have to say he is a really really funny man.

We had a tea break and came back to do some pair work. I got a lovely young guy to work with and we practised lucid reading, that probably isn’t the word for it but what I mean by that is that we didn’t do a meditation before we worked…Tony threw is straight in at the deep end. Sitting opposite a person and trying to pick up someone who wants to contact them. I got through a few people interestingly. First of all I had a man and as I described him I realised that he wasn’t for this young guy at all, he was actually my father in law (who i’ve never met) so I apologised and moved on (naughty Larry! LOL) I got through a couple of ladies for him, and a dog all of which he recognised which was good. He got my two grans. Lovely. The next man I worked with the task was to sit with the person and them be given the name of a specific person they are hoping to hear from. Tony explained that although some mediums claim that it is not up to them who comes through in a reading, that it is possible to invite that person that the client really wants to hear from….after all, if a woman who has lost her husband comes to a medium in the hope of hearing from him she isn’t going to want to hear from Great Aunt Millicent for a whole hour is she? This task I found tougher because all you are given is a name, you aren’t really allowed to ask if it is a person or a pet or whatever….so this is where the real mediumship kicks in. Anyway, I got the lady (Olive) who the man wanted to contact spot on (mental eh?) turned out it was his mother and I even got a pet as well I think….

We had lunch provided by the group organising the event, the same group who ran my reiki course and who run the mediumship class i go to. At this point my mum decided she didn’t want to do any more, she was finding it really stressful and intimidating (imagine having to sit infront of a complete stranger and TALK about people they know in spirit and not knowing where to start etc etc. sore!) Anyway, I grassed her in to Tony and he was so nice haha he said to relax she didn’t have to do the pairings but could chill and just take it in.

After lunch we did some more tasks which I found so interesting and helpful and that I did really well on, although my bold mum managed to do MUCH better than me eh?…fly woman haha.

Nearing the end of the seminar we paired up again and I got this lovely lovely American ex-pat, she was in her late 50’s maybe and just lovely. She brought through the young friend of my neice who had been killed in a car crash and had her spot on, I brought a lady through for her I don’t know what her name was or who she was to her but the woman knew her. I also managed (mostly for the first time) to know the message I was to pass on. The woman was astounded as it must have been relevant to her although I don’t know the significance of it and I didn’t ask. I also brought through a dog for her as well and she was so happy at that. I don’t know breeds of dogs so i really have to go on description alone lol.

Tony finished by giving some further practical advice which I found incredably valuable and then he answered some questions.

I got my photo taken with him like a hundred times because my camera was being a pain but he was very patient and nice.

I found the whole seminar to be of huge value. I feel ready to make that leap between only practising in meditation and actually listening to spirit and passing on messages while awake for people. I feel more confidant in my ability as a medium and although it is a lot of responsibility to give people their loved ones back for that short time I feel I can deal with the weight of that a little better now, if not being ready to fully practise or do platforms the way other people do.

The class I go to ran by Maureen is excellent and I know that I will continue to develop well thanks to her and that seminar with Tony.

Anyway, that was that. Check out Tony on Psychic Private Eyes or Psychic Academy which starts soon on biography channel.

Any questions folks I would be happy to answer.
