The Essential Guide to Mediums: How They Connect Us to the Spirit World
What is a Psychic Medium?
If you have lost a loved one to death, psychic mediums can help you reach across the veil to talk to them again. A reading can be a powerful way to gain closure, insight, and guidance from those who have passed on.
A psychic medium (also called a channeler) is a person who has the unique gift to connect with your loved ones from the other side. They provide comfort and answers to those of us still on earth, looking to talk with lost loved ones who have moved onto a better place.
Besides being able to foresee the future , a medium also has the gift of communicating with the dead. Their power lies in their gift to speak with spirit energy and deliver wisdom that can transform a life. This connection makes a psychic medium an invaluable resource for those seeking hope and guidance beyond the physical body. Psychic medium readings are essentially spiritual readings because they create a bridge between our world and the spiritual realm.
The benefits of a reading are:
- Comfort and closure: By connecting with deceased loved ones, mediums can offer reassurance that your loved ones are at rest and still present in your life. Many find that medium readings help them process grief and find a sense of peace after losing someone close to them.
- Guidance and insight: Wisdom from the spirit realm can help you navigate life's challenges with a new perspective.
- Validate experiences: For some, a reading can confirm their beliefs about the afterlife and the continuity of consciousness beyond the physical body.
- Inspire personal growth: Information from the spirit realm often encourages self-reflection and positive life changes in various areas, including your career and love life. By connecting with loved ones and energy in the spiritual world (including angels and spirit guides) psychics can help you gain inner peace and increased spiritual awareness.
How do Psychic Mediums connect with the Spirit World?
A medium can use various methods to interact with spiritual beings and deceased loved ones. They may have a unique combination of one or more of the following abilities (and use tools like tarot cards) which they use to interpret and convey knowledge.
- Clairvoyance: Seeing images or visions from the spirit realm.
- Clairaudience: They can hear words or sounds from souls.
- Clairsentience: Feeling the emotions or physical sensations of souls.
- Channeling: Allowing a spirit to communicate directly through the medium's physical body.
- Automatic writing: Channeling a spirit to write messages through the medium's hand.
How to Choose a Medium and Prepare for a Reading
Researching and finding a reputable medium involves looking at their credentials, years of experience, and client feedback. We’ve done some of that work for you by rigorously screening our Mediums. Every Psychic Source Advisor is highly skilled and demonstrates the following traits:

Once you’ve chosen a medium, here are a few things you can do to prepare for your reading:
- Intention: Be clear about why you want to consult a medium. Are you seeking peace of mind, closure on your relationships, guidance, validation, or are you simply curious? You can ask to receive important information from a deceased loved one or connect with another spirit.
- Prepare questions: Write down any specific questions you have. Have a few open-ended ones ready but be flexible if the reading takes an unexpected direction. In general, asking broader questions that cannot be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ allows readings to take a broader and more meaningful focus. Explore some powerful questions to ask a psychic.
- Openness: Remember that a medium can't control which person comes through or what information they deliver, but readings can still be incredibly insightful. Be open to unexpected connections and interesting information.
- Be prepared emotionally: Connecting with loved ones who have passed can be an intense and emotional experience. Make sure you're in a good mental space to interact with them.
There are several myths about psychics and mediumship that need to be debunked:
- Myth 1: Psychics can predict the future with certainty: While they can offer guidance and potential outcomes, the future is not set in stone.
- Myth 2: Mediumship is inherently evil or dangerous: Mediumship is a positive, healing practice when performed ethically.
- Myth 3: All mediums are frauds: While there are fraudulent individuals, many genuine mediums have transformed lives with their gifts.
