About Mediumship

In our contemporary world, there continues to be skepticism surrounding mediumship—and rightly so. The field of communication with the deceased has, since the birth of modern Spiritualism in the 1840s, attracted many misguided individuals who take advantage of vulnerable and grieving people.

Even today, the spiritual marketplace can feel crowded with “New Age” beliefs and practices that lack depth or integrity. Authentic mediumship, however, is an extraordinary ability and responsibility—not a purposeless parlor trick or paranormal spectacle, as it is often portrayed in Hollywood films.

Mediums are also psychic but not all psychics are mediums, and there are many genuine and talented mediums in the world. Many are not famous and not all seek recognition. You will find a plethora of “mediums” at varying stages of development, and it is important to do your due diligence and find a medium who feels aligned with you.

Keep in mind that many people call themselves mediums who may be overzealous about their own abilities. To put it plainly, some people want to be a medium so badly that they believe they are a medium, but they really are not. A genuine medium has often known from an early age that something was very different about them. To be a seasoned medium, a person has typically had many psychic experiences throughout their life, and their ability and talent have been a continuous development and learning experience.

Everyone has the ability to feel energy and to feel spirit if they are open to it, but not everyone is “born into” being a medium. It can take years to learn to get out of one’s own way to be able to allow the people in spirit to give an unblocked and clear message. And, the thing to remember is that the reader (medium) and the sitter (client) do not control who comes through or what information is given. Sometimes information may not be what you want to hear, but what you need to hear but it’s given for a reason and you have the free will to accept it or not.

Also, all mediums work differently. Some mediums excel at specific details — names, dates, favorite objects, or memories. My work focuses more on emotions, relationships, and the meaning of a loved one’s life that may be relevant to the sitter’s own personal growth. Sometimes, visions of one’s past lives are given to me only in the text of how it relates to their present life—it is never given just for fun—there is always a purpose to having past life information. Other information that comes through can be layered, nuanced, or carry a double meaning.

When seeking out a medium, come to the session with an open mind and heart. Allow the reader to give you information, and it is up to you to validate what resonates with you without oversharing or offering information that could influence the reading. Personally, I do not make predictions—if any information comes close to a prediction, it must be taken in the vein of one possibility in a sea of possibilities—things change and you always have the free will and choice to alter your life.

A good medium should never tell you what you must believe, nor should you feel pressured to accept information simply because it has been given to you. A reading is an experience that you can explore for yourself. Take what resonates, consider what may have meaning for you, and remember that you always have the choice to decide what you do with the information you receive.
