Does tiredness after mediumship or religious work mean no deity was received?

Tiredness alone cannot determine whether a deity was received. Divine energy blesses us, but physical condition also matters. Early on, poor sleep and insufficient stamina could leave me tired quickly even during divine descent.

When receiving forceful deities such as Lord Guan after staying up late or sleeping poorly, I sometimes tired within minutes. I also did not yet understand how to use energy or coexist with such strength. Later understanding improved my performance. This made clear that caring for the body belongs alongside spiritual training.

I therefore say receiving deities brings blessing, but increasing exhaustion calls for examining whether you are continually using your own energy. This needs consideration alongside inadequate rest. Body, mind, and spirit affect one another. Spiritual training should not neglect the body, and one tired occasion does not establish contact with the wrong being.

Ordinary meditation, recitation, and exercises remain necessary, and sleep nourishes us too. I later scheduled regular rest because energy work also needs time to empty and settle the mind. Mediums do not spend all day perceiving others. If help is needed, explain the actual need so we know.

One incident occurred at our first anniversary. I had not practiced spirit-induced movement for about a year when a Prince deity’s medium from a friendly temple visited, and I used movement to welcome them. Excitement brought rapid movements, followed by breathlessness and some pallor. I remember genuinely having gone too long without practice. This welcome showed the influence of practice and physical condition, not that everyone’s breathlessness, pale face, or fatigue has the same meaning.
