If you’re considering a mediumship reading but feel unsure or nervous, you’re not alone. Many people feel curious yet hesitant before their first session. In this post, I’ll explain what a mediumship reading is really like, what you can expect, and how to prepare emotionally and spiritually.
What Is a Medium?
To understand mediumship, it helps to talk about vibration.
Loved ones in spirit exist at a higher vibration, while we, in our human bodies, exist at a lower vibration. A medium is someone who raises their vibration during a session, while the loved one in spirit lowers theirs, allowing them to meet in the middle.
During this time, the medium blends energetically with the loved one in spirit. The loved one can then use the medium’s intuitive senses, often referred to as the “clairs,” to provide information and impressions.
For example, I may see images in my mind’s eye, similar to watching a small screen. Loved ones often show me what they looked like at certain points in their lives, meaningful memories, or important objects. I may also receive feelings or simply know things about their personality or life experiences. Sometimes spirit even uses the medium’s body language or mannerisms, and I may find myself speaking or moving in a way that reflects how the loved one behaved in life.
Each reading is unique, but the connection is always guided by love.
What Happens During a Reading?
I offer readings via Zoom. I prefer zoom meetings because it allows me to be in a calm, private, and familiar space where I can fully focus, with my notes and cards nearby if I feel guided to use them.
Spirit does not need us to be in the same physical location. Your loved ones know who you are and when we will be meeting—often before we do. Being in person is absolutely not necessary for a meaningful connection.
After scheduling, you’ll receive a Zoom link. When we connect, I’ll briefly explain my process and answer any quick questions before we begin. I’ll then take a few deep breaths and shift my awareness to my mind’s eye to see who is coming forward.
I’ll begin by describing who I am seeing and feeling, and I’ll check in with you to see if you recognize this loved one before continuing. From there, we’ll explore memories, personality traits, and any messages your loved one wishes to share. Often, they also bring through signs or ways they are still around you in everyday life. Messages from spirit are typically loving, supportive, and reassuring.
How Does a Mediumship Session Feel?
A mediumship session usually feels loving, gentle, and supportive. Loved ones come forward because they want you to know they are still with you, still aware of your life, and still offering love and encouragement.
Many people leave a session feeling a sense of peace, reassurance, or emotional release. While emotions can naturally arise, the overall energy of a reading is positive and comforting.
Should I Be Afraid?
This is a very common question.
Mediumship sessions are rooted in love and light. I do not set an intention to connect with negative or frightening energies. Based on the law of attraction, we attract what we align with, and my intention is always to hold a safe, loving, and grounded space for your reading.
You are always in control, and your session will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
How Should I Prepare for a Reading?
Setting an intention before your session can be very helpful. You may wish to ask to hear from a specific loved one although I cannot guarantee who will come through. Often, the loved one who has the most important message for what is currently happening in your life is the one who steps forward.
On a practical level, please choose a quiet, private space for your session, minimize background noise and distractions, and come with an open heart and open mind.
Sometimes you may hope to hear from one person, but another loved one comes through instead. There is always a reason for this, even if it isn’t immediately clear. It doesn’t mean your other loved ones cannot or do not want to connect—only that a particular message is most needed at this time.
Should I Tell You Who I Want to Connect With?
You are welcome to share who you hope to connect with, and I can set an intention for that. I also set an intention to connect with the loved ones who come forward for your highest and deepest good.
That said, it is most helpful if you do not describe your loved ones in advance or during the reading. This ensures that the information coming through is genuinely from spirit rather than influenced by anything you’ve shared.
During the session, it’s best to keep responses simple—such as “yes,” “no,” or “I’m not sure”—when I check in with you. This allows me to receive as much information as possible without interference. At the end of the session, we’ll have time to discuss your loved ones, your experience, and any questions you may have.
Don’t worry—I will guide you through everything during the reading.
In my experience, spirit always comes through with exactly what is needed in that moment. My role as a medium is to hold a grounded, compassionate space where messages can be shared clearly and with love. Each reading is unique, but the intention is always the same — connection, healing, and reassurance.
