?WHAT IS A MEDIUM?

The distinction between Mediums and Psychics is often subtle, yet significant.​

​

Mediums, who inherently possess psychic awareness, lift their perception beyond the veil, entering a liminal space where communication with spirit becomes possible. Psychics attune to the unseen currents of energy that shape the past, influence the present, and hint at future possibilities

​

ALL Mediums are Psychics, however not all Psychics are Mediums. This understanding is essential when seeking a Mediumship or holding a Séance experience, as such work opens sacred thresholds between worlds. A skilled Medium navigates these thresholds with reverence, discernment, and energetic integrity—ensuring clear boundaries and intentional connection.

Through this elevated awareness, Mediums may commune with ancestors, departed loved ones, guides, animal companions, or the lingering energetic imprints woven into places and objects marked by profound events. The messages received are often layered, symbolic, and deeply personal, offering comfort, illumination, and a sense of continuity beyond physical life.

​

For the curious skeptic, Mediumship may appear as heightened intuitive perception. For the spiritually attuned, it is an ancient dialogue between realms. In all cases, the purpose remains unchanged: connection, clarity, and the gentle remembrance that nothing truly ends.

​

A Medium According to Webster's dictionary..... 

"A Medium is a person through whom others seek to communicate with spirits of the dead." 

​

A little History and background ..... 

Mediumship is better known within the circles of the Spiritualist Movement. While not to delve into the long history of mediumship dating to the British Isles, here in North America it was first introduced around 1848 in New York State. The word Medium originates from the Latin word medius (“middle”) and was first seen in English between 1575–85. Synonyms for Medium as a noun in this sense of being able to contact the dead include Spiritualist, Clairvoyant, Mind Reader, and Fortune Teller. 

​

The main purpose of a Medium is to bring closure and comfort to the bereaved. This is rightly so in instances where a loved one is tragically and suddenly taken, hence leaving an unanswered gap causing insurmountable grief for those left behind. 

​

There is an ongoing debate as to the differences between a Channeler and a Medium. Although the words are quite often used interchangeably, die-hard Mediums will emphatically point out that they are definitely not the same, maintaining that Mediumship is a specialty and much harder to learn, plus attain.

​

While this may be true about "physical mediumship", when it comes to "mental mediumship", it is felt that the gap closes drastically. 

​

When learning mediumship, it is divided into specific classifications, physical and mental, with precise learning techniques for each. 

​

Generally you will learn "mental" mediumship before "physical", that is if you are drawn to learn "physical" at all as it is not everyone's cup of tea. 

Physical Mediumship uses a deep, focused trance state (low theta to low delta 4.89 to 3 Hz) in which the Medium serves as a temporary vehicle for spirit to communicate. In other words, the Medium vacates the physical body to allow spirit to temporarily use it. 

​

Physical Mediumship can also encompass phenomena such as: 

• Apportation is the ability to transport or exchange items such as flowers or other objects to or from the spiritual plane 

• Direct voice as spirit communicates through electrical appliances such as the telephone, radio, television, tape recorder or through the voice box of the Medium 

• Ectoplasm is a cloudy, odorless, sticky fluid-like substance which is dispersed from the Medium's orifices so spirit can appear as a physical form 

• Levitation is when furniture, people or objects rise off the floor or float in the air demonstrating spirit's energy 

• Materialization is when spirit or objects from the spiritual realm appear solid to the touch 

• Rapping is when spirit communicates by making noises through raps, knocks or bumps on the wall or on furniture

• Table tipping is when a séance table moves or rocks back and forth demonstrating spirit's energy and communication ability

• Telekinesis or teleportation is when the Medium moves objects using mind power 

​

Mental Mediumship is the more commonly used form of communication where information is received from deceased loves ones. 

​

In Mental Mediumship, a Medium may go into a light trance state (low alpha 9.89 to 8.2 Hz) with eyes closed or may prefer to keep their eyes open, while remaining in a slightly altered conscious state of mind. The Medium remains in full control over their body. It is this type of mediumship that channelling is often interchanged with. 

What Does It Mean to Be a Psychic Medium?

Well for most Mediums, like mentioned above, the process of connecting with the dead utilizes psychic abilities, hence making these Mediums inherently Psychic. The role of a Psychic Medium becomes dual in the sense of offering soul coaching for the navigation of ones evolution as well as information from beyond the veil which can provide great comfort, relief, and meaning to inquiring person(s)/client(s) soul, heart, spirit. 

A Psychic Medium is there to assist the inquiring person(s)/client(s) find their path in life, heal from grief or other metaphysical wounds. Like I say and from my perspective.......Psychic Mediums assist you with the evolution of your soul to be the best you require to be and soulshine bright. 

Now individuals seeking to receive information about their future or current experiences will more commonly seek out a Psychic unless they believe a spirit of a deceased loved one would be an appropriate resource. It is important to remember this when receiving a reading from a Medium, because the Medium may connect with an unexpected spirit, so it is advised to have minimal expectations before attending such a session.
