Symptoms of uncoming mediumship

For the first few evenings you will probably notice nothing much of interest, though very psychic persons begin to develop almost at once. A peculiar lightness and buzzing is sometimes experienced in the head, together with a sense of numbness in the hands and arms, and sometimes in the feet and legs. The respiration seems to become slower, and so does the heart. Tiny lights and spots and light, or dark spots, appear in the
air at a distance of one or two feet in front of the subject. A peculiar pressure is sometimes experienced on the top of the head or on the base of the brain, or in the solar plexus; swishing” sounds, as of the sea breaking upon the sea-shore, may be heard and a sensation that something inside of the head is going round and round in spirals. The head, the hands and sometimes the whole body break out into a profuse perspiration at this point.

These are the first sensations of oncoming mediumship.
Very often they are not pleasant for the first few weeks, but if this period be passed, the unpleasant sensations will as a rule vanish, and the subject will then develop true mediumship of one character or another.
