Each person places one or both hands on the table, but just a light touch. The medium does a special blessing, calls in their spirit guide and the session begins. The table begins to move – the movement can be tapping with one leg answers to questions using the alphabet, twirling back and forth, tilting once for “no’ and twice for “yes”. Sometimes spirit gets so excited, the table will even turn upside down and move across the floor with everyone chasing it! None of the participants are making the tables move – it is spirit doing the work. For more involved answers, the medium may receive information in pictures, images, words, or in a feeling which can all be validated by the response of the table.
