Spirit Talk with Andy Byng

Working with the 'No'

Andy Byng Season 1 Episode 2

Almost every developing medium encounters the no — the moment when something doesn’t land, when information is rejected, and the flow of communication falters. Yet very few are taught how to understand what is actually happening when that moment arises.

In this episode of Spirit Talk, Andy explores why the no is not a mistake in mediumship, but one of its most important teachers.

Rather than focusing on accuracy or performance, this conversation looks at the deeper structure of mediumistic communication. Andy explores surrender and what it really means to follow the communicator, the nature of mediumship as a lived, moment-to-moment experience, and why the no often reveals where control, tension, and self-consciousness quietly take over.

Drawing on years of teaching and experience, the episode examines how misunderstanding the no can disrupt communication, why moving away from it often creates struggle, and how the real work lies not in forcing correction, but in learning how to stay present as the communication continues to unfold.

This is not a technical how-to, but a deeper reflection on relationship, awareness, and personal development — and why learning to work with the no is central to meaningful, coherent mediumship.
