4 Types of Psychic Mediums

Mediums act as a bridge between our physical world and the spiritual realm beyond. They can provide a valuable connection between the planes of the living and the dead. Though some authentic psychics are also mediums, not every psychic deals with mediumship. Understanding what mediums can do and the different forms that mediumship might take will help you better prepare to work with this type of individual.

Mental Mediumship

Mental mediumship takes place in the mind. The medium experiences sensations that others in the room cannot and relays these to the audience. Mental mediumship encompasses:

• Clairvoyance: Seeing images or spirits in the mind's eye.
• Clairaudience: Hearing messages from the spirit world.
• Clairsentience: Feeling the emotions of others.
• Claircognizance: Spontaneously knowing facts and information.

This is one of the most common types of mediumship, and the easiest to convey if you're working remotely with a psychic medium, either online or over the phone. You don't need to see them in person, because they can effectively convey what they're sensing to you remotely.

Physical Mediumship

Physical mediumship involves the manipulation of objects on this plane of existence. There are many ways that physical mediumship can manifest, including:

• Transfiguration: The medium's face transforms into that of the spirit you're communicating with.
• Levitation: Items rise and move around the room independent of any human touch.
• Materialization: Spirits physically manifest in the room, or participants feel spirits hugging or touching them.

You can't fully appreciate the manifestations of physical mediumship unless you're in the room with the medium. You'll find that these spaces are often dimly lit, using red lights or candles liberally to create a space where physical manifestations can more easily occur.

Healing Mediumship

Healing mediumship occurs when a medium directs energy toward another individual with the intention of healing them. The medium serves as a channel for divine energy that's transmitted through spirit. The medium will typically lay their hands on the other individual when performing this type of session in person. Mediums can also channel healing thoughts and energies toward someone from a remote location.

Channeling Mediumship

When channeling, the medium opens themself to a higher state of consciousness through meditation. They can then accept and convey messages from spirit guides or individuals who want to communicate from the other side. The medium might seek out a particular spirit or simply open themselves to receive whatever messages are waiting. Channeling mediumship takes place in a state of trance where the medium may no longer be aware of their physical surroundings.

If you're interested in receiving messages from the other side, working with a medium is one of the best approaches that you can take. Speak with the medium about your goals in advance, so you can determine which form of mediumship will best suit your needs and make sure that you're working with a medium who can help.
