Attending Readings Given By Psychic Mediums

By Edward Baker


A few very special individuals have the gift of being able to communicate with spirits. Though the methods by which they are capable of doing so, they can tap into the life force energies of living people in order to receive messages from the deceased connected to them. Psychic mediums are human conduits between the spirit world and the corporeal one.

Every medium conducts their readings in a way that is unique to themselves and no two sessions are ever identical. In this same manner, the spirits do not make contact with each intuitive in the same way. There are multiple basic possibilities and while some of these gifted individuals are only able to communicate in one way, there are some who are capable of making the connection through several different platforms.

The primary thing a person attending a reading needs to realize is that the medium has no control over how active the session will be. They can not force a particular spirit to communicate with them, nor can they make them stay or respond to every question. The spirits are in charge of what information they are willing to share and method through which they will convey it to the intuitive.

Sight is one of the many ways in which communication may be established, though some spirits may choose not to be seen. To some, this means that they "see" the individual in their own mind's eye, using motion and gestures to convey ideas. Then there are those who are capable of actually seeing ghostly, ethereal, yet physical manifestations.

Another way in which one might receive messages from the spirits is through auditory means. The medium could either hear them as thoughts inside their mind, or as external input like normal conversation. Unfortunately, a lot of spirits have trouble with this method and the words come through sounding like a sketchy radio signal or in short phrases that will need to be interpreted to make sense.

A spirit may opt to use telepathy as their means of conveying messages. This means that they will send flashes of people, events, or words to the medium, or use something from that person's own memories to get the idea across. This can be the most confusing as the symbolism can be cloudy such as being shown a beach and a female in an attempt to mean a woman named Sandy.

Those who are empathetic may also experience emotional or physical sensations that are indicative of the thought or feelings the spirit is wishing to convey. For instance, making the intuitive's head hurt could mean brain trauma, and tightness in the chest could mean heart or breathing issues in life. This is frequently combined with other means of communication in an attempt to clarify the message.

There are other means of spirit connection, such as trances and automatic writing, through which a medium may receive the communications from the beyond. No two gifted individuals will ever have exactly the same experiences and each will deal with their abilities in their own unique way. They will do their best to convey any messages received, though those interested in readings need to understand that it is not always clear or easy to do.
