Mediumship as a Practiced Skill: The Owens Approach
Elizabeth Owens is a certified and practicing medium whose How to Communicate with Spirits won the 2001 Coalition of Visionary Resources Award, a peer-recognition prize within the metaphysical publishing community. The book draws on Owens's working experience as a medium and includes case accounts from other practicing psychics, grounding the material in reported practitioner experience rather than theoretical frameworks alone. This matters because the mediumship literature divides sharply between historical Spiritualist texts and contemporary content that reads more like motivational self-help than practical instruction.
The tradition Owens writes from is the American Spiritualist movement, which formalized spirit communication as a structured discipline beginning in the mid-nineteenth century in communities centered in Cassadaga, Florida and Lily Dale, New York. Owens is associated with the Cassadaga Spiritualist community, and her approach reflects that tradition's emphasis on evidential mediumship, meaning communication that produces verifiable information about the deceased rather than general impressions. This is a more demanding and testable standard than much of what appears under the mediumship label in contemporary publishing.
Automatic Writing, Dream Visitation, and Spirit Contact Techniques
Owens covers the primary modalities used in spirit communication: clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, automatic writing, and what practitioners call dream visitation, in which contact occurs during sleep in a form the dreamer can distinguish from ordinary dreaming. Each method receives a practical description of what the experience typically involves and how a developing medium learns to recognize and work with it. The book avoids the common problem of describing only the fully-developed form of a skill without addressing the early stages that beginners actually encounter.
The section on spirit guides distinguishes between personal guides, which most practitioners describe as assigned to an individual throughout their life, and communicating spirits of deceased people, which are contacted on a case-by-case basis. Owens also addresses seance basics, explaining the group setting that was central to the Spiritualist tradition as a structured environment for collective contact rather than entertainment. Readers interested in developing any of these capacities will find a measured, practitioner-grounded introduction that treats the subject with the seriousness it carries in the tradition from which it comes.
How to Use How to Communicate with Spirits
Three steps for beginning spirit communication work with Owens's guidance.
-
Start With the Sensitivity Chapters
Owens opens with chapters on psychic sensitivity and the clair senses. Read these before any contact work. Knowing which perceptual mode you tend toward naturally makes the technique chapters that follow more applicable to your own experience.
-
Practice Automatic Writing as a Contact Method
Sit with paper and pen, hold an open intention to receive, and write without directing the content. Owens explains how to distinguish authentic contact impressions from ordinary mental chatter, the core skill in early mediumship development.
-
Work With Dream Visitation Intentionally
Before sleep, set a clear intention to receive communication from a specific guide or person. Keep a journal bedside and record impressions on waking. Owens explains the qualities that distinguish visitation dreams from ordinary dreaming patterns.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Afterlife communication is one of the domains where the quality of sourcing matters most, and Owens provides the right credentials for this subject: a working medium from a structured tradition with a COVR-recognized title. The book belongs in my inventory because it addresses a genuine need, people who have lost someone and want to understand whether and how contact is possible, with a practitioner's perspective rather than a motivational one. The American Spiritualist tradition Owens writes from has a documented history going back to the 1840s and produced the most systematic body of mediumship training in the English-speaking world.
