So far, we've discussed psychic readings. We'll talk about medium reading in this segment. So, what's the difference between the two?
Someone who gives psychic readings does not have mediumistic powers, which include serving as a vessel and a bridge of communicating between the spirit world and the living world – but all mediums have psychic abilities, as this is how they communicate with the spirits of the deceased.
You may not be familiar with the terms mediumship or mediums. A medium, as previously said, is an individual who acts as a link between the living and the deceased. They will connect with the dead and relay messages to the living on their behalf. If you've ever used a Ouija board, you've engaged in a kind of mediumship, when you're communicating with, or trying to communicate with, the spirits of the dead – but Ouija boards are mostly used for recreation rather than serious purposes.
When the spirit of the deceased communicates to the medium, and when the medium hears signals clairvoyantly (or clairsentient, claircognizant, clairaudient) and relays the message to the living, these are the types of mediumship used by practicing mediums. Very commonly, a living person will ask a medium and attempt and communicate and establish communication with a deceased loved one because they miss them and/or whether there is unfinished business or unanswered questions about them, because they want closure. These sessions can be very calming and the soul of the deceased loved one is likely to feel the same way.
If you want to be a medium, a link between the spirit world and the living, you'll need a firm grasp on the four intuitive forms (even if you choose one over the others), so the signals would come through to you through clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, or claircognizance. This is something you can try when you've been exercising your psychic ability for a while and are confident in your abilities. You can indeed be a novice, so make sure you understand the fundamentals.
If you believe you are a natural psychic medium, someone who has felt the energy of deceased spirits since childhood, you might even know how to interact with and use these spirit networks. This is not, though, a requirement for being a medium.
If you know any mediums, or if you come across a local practicing medium you can contact, inquire about their art.
- What is it like to speak with the dead?
- When did they first know they had this potential, or when did they start?
- What cases do they have of mediumistic encounters?
If you live in an area where there are no mediums, you can also do an online quest to learn about first-hand accounts from mediums.
Just make sure the person you're studying from isn't a con artist, as the world of psychic practice is full of con artists trying to take advantage of people.
You must be fully relaxed before you begin practicing engaging spirits.
- Find a quiet, cozy location away from flashing lights.
- Feel the universe's energies rushing into you, and calm your mind, allowing other distracting emotions to fade away. It's now time to summon the ghosts.
- Be sure you've learned psychic defense against evil spirits and beings before moving on to the next stage, as it's easy to unintentionally welcome a negative spirit into your house.
- Think of a particular deceased loved one you'd like to touch (this may also be a pet) to help minimize the chance of a harmful spirit invading your room. That way, the summoning isn't applied to any passing spirits.
- They are not invited; only the soul of your loved one is.
- Make a public call to them now. Invite them into your room and maybe ask them a question or see if they have anything to say. Mentally summon them as well.
- Conjure up a detailed mental picture of them and emotionally invite them into orbit.
- If you sense their presence, ask them a question you've thought about.
- You may detect them in a variety of ways, including smelling their cologne, hearing their laugh or a song they used to sing, visualizing their favorite color or a piece of clothing they used to wear in your mind's eye, or experiencing a sudden change of feeling that makes you feel warm and full of love.
- These are all reminders that remind you that the way you see them will not be the same as hearing their presence in your mind's eye speaking to you.
- They can respond to your questions using images that must be deciphered or words that you see or hear in your head.
- This may also be a comment if you answer a question and suddenly feel a heavy emotion.
- If they respond claircognizant, you'll already know the answer.
- Remember not to impose or fabricate their appearance or responses.
- Allow them to flow, and it's fine if they don't turn up or don't answer any questions.
- Only keep reaching out and exercising while being calm. Don't push anything if you don't get it. Release the pressure and try again later.
You may also try practicing as a messenger with a person, in which case you may summon the spirit of their loved one and ask them any questions they might have.
- If you just want to push yourself, don't ask your friend who the person is that they want to touch.
- Enter the room with the eyes closed.
- Just have them visualize and dream of the person they want to touch.
- Keep your mind calm and comfortable, and be open to any energies or signals that come your way. Describe any images or emotions that come to mind to your mate.
To see how this is done, go online to look up footage of psychics in play. For eg, if you're sitting there with an empty mind and a figure of a man appears, followed by the color red, the idea of Thanksgiving dinner, and the scent of cigarettes, you'd think, "I'm seeing a man, then the color red, then the concept of Thanksgiving dinner, then the smell of cigarettes." I may also detect the odor of cigarettes.” You'll really have no idea what this means, so ask your mate if it means anything to them. After all, when you work as a messenger, the message is for the other soul, the one for whom the spirit of the deceased is connected. If it's a genuine letter, your friend will receive it straight away and, if they want to, tell you what it means to them. Perhaps the guy was their uncle, whose favorite color, hat, or car was red, and who often held a large family Thanksgiving at his home – an annual family tradition. He still cigarettes, which was a soothing reminder of his life to those who knew him.
This is an illustration of how a medium-level reading could advance. You can even hear words or phrases from the dead that you can communicate to the living. And if it doesn't make sense to you, tell them what you see and hear in your message so it could make sense and be important to them. If that's not the case, just keep driving.
You're not going to get it right the first time, so just keep showing them what you're doing and making sure you're not pressing these calls. Make sure they're coming from the spirit you've contacted in a normal and transparent way.
