Need questions answered or some clarity?
If you are like many people you may be asking “why do people go to a psychic medium?” Simply, to get answers. To get a sense of direction. To be able to ask questions that need a bigger view to get the best information possible before making decisions. As a trained Lilydale Fellow, my years of study and devotion to creating good in the Universe allow me to act as a vehicle for those answers you seek. My psychic mediumship works hand in hand with other things I am, such as a healer and medical intuitive. All things spiritual are of the same tree, with different branches and fruit.
There are some things I think are important for you to know and understand about what a psychic medium is and is not. Engaging a medium is inviting someone into the most sacred space your soul inhabits. It is important you are comfortable and know what to expect. I call
Things you should know before you engage a Psychic Medium
Seer…fortune teller…prophetess…spiritualist ….reader…. clairvoyant…preternatural… mystic…paranormal…sensitive…mentalist….intuitive…metaphysician…occultist…conjurer…
sentient… supernaturalist…supersensory…telekinetic…telepathic…otherworldly. Do some of these terms come to mind when you hear psychic medium? Well, some are accurate, some describe other things, and others could not be further from the truth. Let’s talk about what a medium really is...
The Oxford English Dictionary has the following definition:
psy·chic /ˈsīkik/
So you see,
a medium is the vehicle and the psychic is the ability to sense other realms, other sounds, smells, sights, visions. Nearly all good psychic mediums have been through many years (and I mean years, not just picking up a book or a weekend class) of disciplined study, training, and practice under the watchful eye of any number of trained, respected practitioners of the arts. It is absolutely not trusting the guy with the Ouija board or putting faith in the lady who has never used a pendulum before. I studied for nearly 20 years before I was approved as a fellow at Lilydale, one of the most respected communities of mediums in the world. Lilydale was founded as a religious community over 140 years ago and to this day is the leading educational site for spiritual training in the U.S. and perhaps, the world.
Many people equate mediumship with magic,
or magick as it is properly referred to in the occult arts. There is no magick in anything I do or will participate in. Magick is for conjurers and in olden days those trying to turn lead into gold (alchemy). My medium abilities do allow me to work with some paranormal activities, as I clear spaces and release earthbound spirits so they may go to the Light and rest in peace. (Earthbound spirits are rarely happy to be here, most are sad, have experienced tragedy or violence, or do not even realize they are dead. They just want to be released and to go where it is peaceful.)
There is nothing mystical or magical about what I do as a psychic medium. My abilities were gifted to me by Spirit, and I spent many years in intense training, meditation, study, prayer, and practice. My “magic”, if anything, is being trained to listen to the voice of Spirit on a very fine, refined place on the radio dial. This allows me to receive information to help answer questions, provide clarity or guidance, and counsel people who come to me for answers, help, and instruction.
As a fifth generation “psychic” (I prefer spiritual counselor),
I have been asked many times what a psychic is and how did I “learn” to do what I do. I often try to explain that mediumship is the vocation and psychic is the ability. It is important to understand that psychic ability tends to choose us, not the other way around. You have a sensing, a knowingness, and it tends to keep nudging you (and nudging you and nudging you…) until you put in the time and work, the discipline, to hone the necessary skills, to set aside your own ego and prejudices and grow into a balanced, centered being, making sure you are receiving information accurately and are interpreting it correctly, and that you are sharing that information compassionately and as kindly as possible. It is a Universe (or God given, whatever your belief system might be) gift of the Spirit, and for everyone it is a little different.
Any valid medium or reader or psychic or spiritual counselor, whatever name feels right for you, will tell you that it is all about the gut and heart and love, and not a thing about the ego, personality, or mental capacity. As one master adept put it, “you need to speak from your gut, your solar plexus. The second your brain kicks in trying to interpret what you have received, you have just messed it up.”
Any and all messages received by a psychic medium are a gift, and are for the information of the person they are working with. There should never be ego involved in any message that is given, although sometimes messages can be direct and crystal clear to the point. There is an old expression in the spiritual world of “take what you will and leave the rest.” It is important, however, to listen to the entire message. Something may not ring true at the moment, but trust me, may later. Other things you might not want to hear. Take them and tuck them away. Often it is Spirit giving you a heads up. Many times it will occur to you later “so that’s what that meant/was about!”
Mediums act as counselors more than any other role.
People are often at very vulnerable points in their life when they seek a psychic reading. This is why training is so very important as well as integrity, honesty, and ethical practice. I would personally refer to this as being a “white Light practitioner”. My training and belief system allows me to focus and be far more accurate than most people providing a “word” as occurs in many religious settings. Anyone who dabbles in the gray or dark arts honestly is not a safe person to utilize as a psychic medium, because their information will be compromised. If they are a dark practitioner they also can easily create an opening in the “thin veil” between here and other dimensions and allow things - beings, spirits, entities - in. Not everything you cannot see is your friend! That includes those claiming to be spirit guides. Those entities can do a great deal of harm or even become what is referred to as a “walk in”. If a walk in is not a familiar term, remember the story of the demon possessed man that went to Jesus, and he threw the demon out and into the swine that then rushed into the Sea of Galilee and drowned.
No medium should ever work with you when they are ill (transmissibility increases during a session), or if they have imbibed in any form of altering drug, including alcohol. Substances can and will change their reception, and can create openings to other dimensions. It is worth note, also, that most mediums will not remember most or any of what they share during your time in a session. This is because they are acting as a vehicle, or as indigenous people say, being “a hollow bone” allowing the energy to come through.
A reading is not about what you want to hear
Sometimes I have to chuckle to myself when someone comes to me for a “psychic second opinion”. They usually do not tell me that is why they want an appointment, but usually I know. It often ends in “that is what the last psychic told me!” Well, yes. It should be what the last psychic told you, if they were acting in your best interest and not in their own, and they were listening correctly to the message. This is also why most good intuitives will not provide readings back-to-back for anyone, as the message will be the same until the work is done with the current information, be it spiritual in nature, emotional in nature, or something you physically have to do. (The exception to this is when I am doing medical intuitive work. People often call for an appointment when traditional medicine has no answers, and I say that as a career medical professional.) An ethical psychic medium also will not provide psychic work for anyone they are close to as they simply cannot be reliably objective. There are Universal and Natural Laws as well as spiritual ethical standards, and any good practitioner will stick to those “rules” firmly.
Reading are personal, most often very personal
In nearly all exchanges a message is for one person, a specific party. Sometimes others might be involved or affected, or it might be for another family member, significant other, or otherwise. Please note, though, that psychic mediums, while they could and can do readings in more public settings such as a spiritual church or in a group gathering, would nearly always prefer and be in favor of one-on-one sessions. The reason is the information may be private, personal, or even eye opening. Energy from other people in a room can significantly affect the reception of that information for the party for whom it is intended. You deserve your medium’s full attention and connection at all times.
Voices in my head? Maybe, maybe not
There are a great many different ways that people get a feeling, an intuition, a “word” or image or picture in their mind, or see colors or vibrations or shapes or feel vibrations or energy changes, or sense a presence or hear a spiritual guide, angel, or even the Creator speaking directly to them. They may hear, see, smell, taste, sense, feel the information they receive. Some are gifted with what is referred to as “automatic writing” which may be direct writing and not knowing anything about what they are writing, or even writing that occurs on tablets or slates bound together with a writing instrument or chalk between them which the medium holds or touches and when opened after the information comes through, the message appears on the tablet or slate.
There are some more intense forms of mediumship as well. One commonly known method is a medium who can contact someone during a seance or session who has made transition. This is a special ability and a very sensitive one, as all in the room need to be of the same intent and the spirit being needs to feel safe communicating through the medium. (Many police departments utilize mediums with proven abilities in this area to help investigate difficult cases.) I do seance work to contact those who have made transition, as so often it is tantamount to those left behind for closure. Some people have remote viewing abilities, being able to see or sense things at a great distance. This ability is very helpful in locating items and particularly lost pets. Others can tell you about the history of an object, details on who owned it, where it resided, and things about it.
Some people “channel”, a very special and very limited ability to act as a physical body for a spirit to communicate directly through. This ability often involves angelic beings. (Please be aware, many people who claim to channel may be dealing with lower vibrational entities that are stuck in a lower plane of existence, literally invisible dead. Those messages are often not safe nor entirely valid and can in some cases cause harm.) There are mediums who can direct energy and levitate items, transport items or manipulate the materials in them (think of spoon bending), and even what is known as ectoplasmic manifestation. A very rare ability, this form of messaging takes an ethereal, wispy form often exuding a ghostly white, pale blue, or green light often in the form of a person.
"Anyone can do it." Not really.
Do I believe anyone can be a psychic? No. Many people cannot lay down the problematic parts of their lives, like chaos and ego, to take up the humility required by the hard work. Are there many people with the ability who do not know, or are frightened of it? Absolutely. Our culture used to respect and honor the seers and prophets of old. Today it is challenging for many people to trust their heart and gut instead of their head and the public. One of the best pieces of advice anyone should utilize is to trust their gut. That is your own intuition trying to provide you protection, direction, or guidance. It may also be an angelic presence stepping in to help or keep you from harm.
Let's plan a time to work on those answers you seek
I am available to do psychic mediumship sessions with you by appointment, or even over the phone or via the internet. Distance does not matter to the spiritual realm, as human measures of time and distance are not relevant to the Universe for most things. Reach out and let’s set up a time to talk about the questions you have, the direction you need help finding, the answers you seek for your spiritual journey. You may just be amazed at where your path is leading.
