Developing Spiritual Psychic Mediumship and Healing Abilities:
an interview with Suma Isis Sekgametis

by Jennifer Johnson

I am consulting Suma Isis Sekgametis, a Seattle-based spiritual psychic medium and healer, about a matter unrelated to my health when she interrupts me: "Do you want spiritual healing for your lung area? If you don't get a healing now, you'll need to see a doctor soon." I pass on the offer because I don't want to take time for a healing and can't imagine I really need it. I feel super! No aches or pains in my lungs or anywhere else.

Big mistake. The next day I start sneezing, then coughing, then bronchitis sets in, and, finally, pleurisy.

How, I wonder, did Suma develop the psychic ability to see disease approaching in someone who looks and feels like the picture of perfect health? How did she learn to marshal spiritual forces to prevent diseases from manifesting, and would it be possible for me to develop similar abilities? I asked her, and recorded the following conversation.

Jennifer: Could I learn to be psychic, or would I have to have been born with the gift?

Suma: As a child, I was not conscious of being psychic, although later, after I started studying at a spiritualist church, I realized that there were a few instances of it when I was growing up. I didn't really start developing spiritual healing and mediumship until I was twenty, but this is not the first lifetime I have focused on them. Reincarnation plays a big part in spiritual growth. I believe I developed my present abilities over hundreds of previous lifetimes. For someone else, it may not take that long.

Jennifer: How would you recommend that I begin developing my own spiritual healing and psychic abilities?

Suma: I absolutely believe that you should affiliate yourself with a teacher or school of thought. I got my start while I was in the Army, stationed on Oahu, and happened to go to a wedding there at a branch of a spiritualist church based in Seattle. I began attending the church's services and classes and read a list of books it recommended from the Theosophical Society, Edgar Cayce, Paramahansa Yogananda, Mary Baker Eddy, and others. In addition, I studied the church's own lessons on how to develop spiritual gifts rooted in God, good and the Golden Rule, and which combined science with religion by seeking scientific evidence for life after death and communication with the spirit world.

Jennifer: How long did you have to study before going professional, and do you recommend starting out first as a spiritual healer or as a medium?

Suma: After an honorable discharge from the Army in 1976, I settled in Seattle and continued my studies at the spiritualist church. I gave my first public reading as a professional spiritual medium in 1980, and I was giving spiritual healings even earlier.

I want to point out that for me, clairvoyant ability came as a result of doing spiritual healings. Compassion and the desire to help people were my motivations. The spirit world was willing to work with me because I was willing to dedicate a part of my life to serving humanity. The spirit guides look for the light of love and compassion within the person. The adage, "When the student is ready, the master will appear," applies here.

So, I would suggest that you focus on the gift of spiritual healing to keep your balance while developing ESP. I think it will help you to pick up psychic impressions from your spirit guides or your higher self. And don't forget to keep a healthy skepticism about what is a true psychic impression as opposed to what may be just wishful thinking or simple deduction. Not every impression is from your spirit guides or higher self. Sometimes it's just your conscious mind at work.

Jennifer: Is meditation important in spiritual psychic development?

Suma: Everyone has his or her own path. Mine includes the path of karma yoga, or love in action, but meditation is also part of it. I recommend meditating at the same time every day for a minimum of 15 minutes. Before starting your meditation, acknowledge your guardian angels. They will guide your unfoldment. Then, surround your aura, your chakras, and your seven bodies with gold and silver light for wisdom and protection. In addition, use the White Fire and the Violet Flame to accelerate your spiritual vibration. Use your imagination to visualize these colors around you and affirm and decree that they are there.

Sometimes it helps to imagine yourself stepping into an egg-shaped capsule of gold and silver light, or envisioning silver-gold wings enfolding and holding you. Whatever works. Don't worry about whether or not you can really see these colors around you. Thinking of them and stating them has a positive effect.

Jennifer: What steps do you go through in healing someone spiritually?

Suma: First, I reach out to my guides. I also ask the guardian angels of the person who is ill to help guide the healing. Then I go into meditation and ask for a psychic impression from the guardian angels of what the person needs: a symbol of what is the highest and best for her or him. The impression I receive may be a color or colors, a symbol, a scene, a name, a word or phrase, a feeling, a sense, or a sensation.

For example, I may see the color purple changing into an image of a White Fire and Violet Flame lake with the ill person floating on it. Then I may see the phrase "fears death" and the words "self-hatred." Then I may see a guardian angel over the person with two large hands near the person's heart. The sensation I feel may be like crying followed by a sense of calm and peace.

My interpretation of this might be to use the white and violet light to burn away the illness or disease with the help of the angel, and to transmute the person's self-hatred into self-love and respect. I would also affirm that emotional healing takes place and that the person is released from the fear of death, and that this emotional healing results in physical healing. Part of the reason for the illness may have been this fear and self-hatred. Once these are gone, the person's physical condition may improve.

By the way, I am not suggesting that people avoid competent medical doctors. I recommend that spiritual healing be used to complement medical help.

Jennifer: Do you have any closing words of advice for me?

Suma: Stay focused on spiritual healing. Make a lifetime commitment to ongoing learning and service to others. This kind of spiritual development will not take you away from life. It will involve you in living and lead to personal happiness and realizing your oneness with the whole of humanity.
