The Spirit Door Matters

In mediumship, boundaries are everything. A “Spirit Door” is a powerful visualization technique that allows you to decide when you connect with the spirit world — and when you don’t.

Many teachers explain how to open the door, but far fewer stress the importance of closing it. Without a proper closing practice, you may find spirits popping in uninvited, interrupting your daily life, and leaving you emotionally or energetically drained.

If you’ve ever felt like you couldn’t “turn off” your connection, the Spirit Door can become your best tool for creating control, safety, and balance in your mediumship.

What is the Spirit Door?

The Spirit Door is not a literal door — it’s a mental and energetic visualization that works as a boundary between you and the spirit realm.

• Open Door = You are available for spirit communication.
• Closed Door = You are off-duty and energetically unavailable.

Think of it like a light switch: you decide when to turn it on and when to turn it off. This protects your time, your energy, and your emotional well-being.

Why You Need One

Without a Spirit Door, you might experience:

• Spirits visiting at all hours (including during sleep).
• Random messages dropping in while you’re trying to focus on everyday life.
• Psychic burnout from being “on” too often.
• Emotional or physical exhaustion from too much incoming energy.

The Spirit Door ensures you control your connection, rather than your connection controlling you.

How to Open the Spirit Door

When you’re ready to connect:

1. Ground, cleanse, and protect yourself first.
2. Visualize a door in front of you. Notice its color, size, material, and details — this is your personal Spirit Door.
3. Imagine slowly opening the door with full intention.
4. Say (aloud or in your mind):
   “I now open this door to receive messages from spirit for the highest and greatest good.”
5. Notice any shifts — warmth, tingles, or a sense of presence — as the connection begins.

How to Close the Spirit Door (The Step Most People Skip)

Closing is equally — if not more — important than opening.

1. When your reading, session, or communication is complete, visualize the door closing and locking.
2. Say:
   “This door is now closed. I am no longer available for communication until I choose to open it again.”
3. Feel your space return to calm and your energy settle.
4. Ground again to fully anchor yourself in the present.

Tips for Healthy Spirit Door Use

• Always cleanse your energy and space before and after opening the door.
• Combine with protection techniques (shields, light, calling on guides or Archangel Michael).
• Keep your intention clear — only invite communication for the highest and greatest good.
• Never leave the door “partially open” — it’s like leaving your house unlocked.

The Spirit Door is more than a visualization — it’s a commitment to respecting your own boundaries in the spirit world. By opening and closing it with intention, you create a safe, balanced space for connection, while protecting your everyday life from unwanted spiritual intrusions.

Whether you’re just beginning your mediumship journey or have been working with spirit for years, practicing this technique can bring more peace, clarity, and control to your abilities.

Mantra

“I open and close my Spirit Door with intention, clarity, and protection.”
