Maybe you’ve seen mediums in the movies, channeling ghosts or psychically solving crimes. It’s enough to make mediumship seem far-fetched and even a little spooky. In reality, though, mediumship readings are a lot less dramatic—and a lot more healing.
So forget what you’ve seen on TV—let’s talk about real-life mediumship, and what you can expect if you get a reading.
First things first: what is a medium? Basically, it’s a person with the ability to communicate with those who have passed. There are messages waiting for you, and our experts can receive those messages and share them with you. The bottom line, they’re here to offer you peace, healing, and the comfort of knowing that loved ones you’ve lost are still connected to you.
So, you’re thinking about getting a mediumship reading. What should you know?
Before the Reading
Before your reading, take some time to think about what you’re looking for: Connection? Insight? Closure? It will help the reader—but even more than that, it’ll help you—if you come to the reading with clarity about your goals and intentions.
At the same time, don’t get too attached to any specific outcome. No matter how much you’re hoping for a certain kind of experience, or how skilled the reader is, nobody can force the encounter to play out in a certain way! Keep an open mind, and trust that the process will unfold as it’s meant to.
During the Reading
Your reader will probably begin by asking you about yourself and your specific goals for the reading. Feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with—just know that the more openly and honestly you can answer their questions, the better they’ll be able to help you. Likewise, don’t be shy about asking your reader questions: that’s what they’re here for!
Usually, a mediumship reading will begin with the basics, and get deeper and more specific as time goes on. But there’s no such thing as a “typical” way for a reading to go: readings are all different because people are all different! Each reading will be unique, depending on your goals, your reader’s style, and the personality of the loved one you’re hoping to connect with. Sometimes, the messages the medium passes along to you will feel mystical or intensely emotional. Other times, they might be warm, practical, or even funny!
While each reading is unique, what they all have in common is that they’re done by real, skilled people, whose goal is to help you find the insight, guidance, or closure that you’re looking for.
After the Reading
Give yourself a chance to process it all! A mediumship reading can be a deeply healing experience—but it can also be an incredibly emotional one. If possible, we recommend that you set aside some time and space after your reading to reflect.
It’s also possible that you’ll receive messages in your reading that aren’t 100% clear in the moment, but make sense later on… sometimes days or even weeks later! In other words, your mediumship reading can have a lot to offer, even after the reading itself has finished.
