As our society becomes more and more aware of the spiritual nature
of our being, many questions arise. As a professional Spiritual
Medium, I am often asked many questions by those seeking to understand
more about life, death, the afterlife and all things metaphysical.
Here, I will answer some of the most common questions I am asked
about the art of mediumship, in the hope that it will be helpful
to others. psychic medium
What
is medium and how do they differ from psychics?
Many people have this question. In short a medium raises their
energy in order to connect with those in the afterlife. The medium
should be able to give you enough information during the reading
to make you feel comfortable that they are connected with someone
you recognize.
A
psychic usually connects with YOUR psychic energy and gives you
a glimpse of the future. It is true that a medium does use psychic
ability, which is really just another term for energy. In our
society however, it has come to be, that the word psychic is more
connected with those who foretell the future. It becomes even
more confusing because many professionals do both! Just try to
remember a medium connects with spirit in the afterlife and psychics
usually tell you about you and your future
What
is the purpose of seeking out a medium?
The most common reason to seek out a medium is to connect with
those who have passed on, in order to receive comfort. Those who
are grieving are reassured that their loved ones do indeed go
on into the next reality. It can by no means take away all the
loss felt by those in grief, but it can at least give some the
peace of mind to know that their loved ones are ok! I have witnessed
many, many profoundly healing readings.
Can
this truly be done on the telephone or on the Internet?
Yes! As stated above, the medium is dealing with energy, which
travels very quickly and has no boundaries.
Is
the Medium always successful?
No. Mediumship is not a 100% thing. Those in spirit control much
of the communication; so all the reasons for this are not entirely
evident to us. There are many variables involved. Some spirits
connect better with one medium than another; mediums have good
and bad days. Etc.
Is
mediumship a gift possessed by only a few people?
This is a common misconception. We all have psychic ability and
we all can learn to develop our mediumship skills. Some may be
naturally more inclined to it however. I like to compare it to
playing the piano. We can all learn to do it, yet some are naturally
more inclined toward it. If a person sets out to develop their
ability and sticks with it, they can develop their own mediumship
abilities.
How
can I tell if a medium is ethical?
This is a very important question to ask yourself before seeking
out a medium. The main point to remember is that Intent is everything!
The universal question to ask is this: Does this professional
seek to help me or help himself more? The answer to this question
will allow you to see their true nature. The medium's first responsibility
is to show you that such communication is possible. The second
responsibility of the medium is to show you that you too possess
this ability and that your loved one is around you always. Ethical
mediums will not take advantage of those in grief by allowing
them to return over and over again. Ethical mediums will also
not hesitate to provide you with references from clients nor will
they be offended if you ask for references.
Why
do Mediums charge?
Many
mediums begin by offering free readings. As they progress in their
ability, the need arises to devote more time to mediumship and
clients. To do this they often need to quit their paying jobs
and begin charging for readings. Ethical mediums charge what they
feel is necessary to make it possible to continue in their work.
How
often should I have a reading?
The answer to this question varies. While it is nice to connect
with our loved ones on the other side, it is important to remember
that we are presently living in this reality. As stated above,
the medium is there to assist you in your understandings, not
to become a permanent link to the other side.
How
Can I learn to connect with those in spirit?
As we become more aware of ourselves as spiritual beings, the
interest in the afterlife increases. If one seeks to learn more
about mediumship and the afterlife there are many avenues available
through books and on the Internet. The phrase that comes to mind
here is, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
