Medium at large in the Crystal

Medium Tom Colton launches Feel the Spirit, his 50-date tour of the country at the Cavan Crystal Hotel tomorrow (Thursday, July 30). It is the first national tour of the country by an Irish medium and continues till the end of November. In December there will be a series of special one-off Christmas With Spirit events in Waterford, Cork and Dublin.

“This tour is a huge undertaking and something I’m looking forward to immensely,” said Tom. “I got a great reaction at my recent events in Dublin, where we had people who’d travelled from all over the country, so now it is my turn to come to them and I can’t wait.”

Tom’s press material says he is able to connect with spirits of the bereaved and people are asked to bring a photograph of a loved one they would like to connect with. Deeply compelling, often startling and occasionally humorous, Tom’s down-to-earth approach has earned him the respect of the many people for whom he has read.

He allows those he reads to feel the energy of their loved ones in the same way he does. Tom believes that everyone has the ability to connect and communicate with spirit in the way he does “they just have to learn how, there is no special gift” he says, “it is an ability everybody has”.

Tom has communicated and interacted with spirits since he was a child. Though it was not until his uncle Richard died in 2001, that he started reconnecting with spirit world as an adult. During the last eight years Tom has developed his skills as medium, studying at the Arthur Findlay College in Stansted, near London, the world’s foremost college for the advancement of spiritualism and psychic sciences. He has also completed many courses on spirituality at the National Federation of Spiritualist Healing (a charitable trust now called the Healing Trust).

What is a medium?

To give their full a title a ‘spiritualist medium’ is someone who can communicate with the spirits of people who have passed away. Mediums are the conduit through which the living can make contact with the dead. 

A Medium is a person who has developed their spiritual knowledge and uses this to form a link between this world and the ‘spirit world’. It must, however, be remembered that everybody has the capability to be a medium of some kind, it is just that not everybody knows how to interpret the correct signs.

Spiritualist Union of Ireland                

Tom is founder and President of the Spiritualist Union of Ireland, which was set up to support the development and the advancement of mediumship in the Republic of Ireland.  It is the country’s first spiritual sanctuary whereas there are numerous spiritual churches established the Britain and Northern Ireland.
