Journeying Beyond: Unlocking the Spiritual Realm Through Mediumship

Let’s be real for a moment. Yes, we’re talking about the "intangible world"—a realm many might dismiss as a figment of imagination. But bear with me here. Let’s address a common misconception: mediumship is not perfect.

Mediums are often thought to have all-encompassing access to the spirit world—able to hear everything, know everything, and solve every mystery. But the reality is far from this.

A medium should connect with the likes of Einstein and create groundbreaking inventions, right? Nope.

A medium should be able to solve every murder or locate every missing person, yes? Negative.

Why not? Because everything happens for a reason, and there are things Spirit simply won’t or can’t communicate. If mediums channeled geniuses to continue their work, it would rob new minds of their opportunity to shine. Life would stagnate, with no room for progress or growth. Similarly, solving every mystery or tragedy might feel like justice, but it could hinder the lessons that come with those experiences.

Spirit has shown me this undeniable truth: "A world without pain is a world without growth."

Pain is a teacher. Tragedy, while heartbreaking, often leads to profound healing, unity, or change. The death of a young child, for instance, might bring a fractured family closer, while one person’s struggle can inspire countless others. These ripples of impact are far-reaching and often beyond our understanding.

As a human, I know how painful these experiences are. But my connection with Spirit taught me to trust in the bigger picture. While pain touches the heart, understanding can ease the mind.

Mediumship: The Truth, The Challenges, The Journey

As someone walking this path, I’ve learned that mediumship is a journey of constant growth and acceptance. You have to embrace where you are in your development and work with the tools you have. There’s no shortcut, no cheat sheet. You want to grow? You must practice, trust Spirit, and remain open to what unfolds—even when it’s messy. Every medium, even the most experienced, has felt frustration along the way. But every missed connection, every “off” reading, is part of the process.

Some readings will flow effortlessly; others will feel like trudging through mud. Sometimes Spirit’s messages are strong and clear, and other times they’re subtle and hard to interpret. And that’s okay.

Remember: Spirit is learning too. They’re figuring out the best ways to communicate with you. Sometimes they’ll try multiple times—or use different symbols—until you finally understand. It’s like playing spiritual charades! I know Spirit has knocked my head off a couple of times with my lack of understanding of easy symbols.

Instead of overthinking or filtering, I’ve learned to trust and say what I receive. In my experience with Mediumship, I have realized that you have to accept and be comfortable with where you are in your development and do what you can with what you have.

Spirit Language

Spirit communicates with everyone—not just mediums. They appear in dreams, synchronicities, or even through animals and signs. These interactions are their way of saying, “We’re here, and there is life beyond this one.”

For mediums, these signs become a vital part of readings. Spirit may send unique symbols to loved ones, offering comfort and connection. As a developing medium, pay attention to these signs. Trust there are no coincidences.

Spirit is present in our lives far more than we realize. Conversations, repeated advice, or sudden inspirations may all be nudges from Spirit. Disconnect from distractions—your phone, TV, or noise—and you’ll start to hear their whispers.

Spirit will also send signs via insects, animals, and synchronicities. Read my other blog, "Spirit Signs" for more about this.

These interactions from Spirit are their way of letting you know that they are there and that there is life after death. These interactions can be used when providing a reading with a Sitter. Ask Spirit for the symbols and signs they send their loved ones and see what you get! Spirit has common ways they send signs, but now and again you will see that Spirit will send unique signs. This further proves that there is no such thing as coincidences!

The love and support that the Spirit world offers us is beautiful to experience and to see once you become aware of it. Medium or not, reader or not. It does not matter. We are all souls and we all have this connection. We are all being guided on the best path possible and we all receive signs and confirmations. Everyone doesn't see it and there are sadly a few who don't want to, but if you are already aware of their love then keep your eyes and ears open. I'm noticing now that Spirit is more present in our lives than we think!

Keep Your Technique LOOSE!

When I began my journey, I longed for a mentor. But Spirit had other plans. They blocked me from finding one, forcing me to rely on my own intuition. Now, I understand why: following someone else’s methods might have stunted my unique development.

Mediumship isn’t about rigid techniques. Every reading is different, requiring flexibility and flow. Use formats or inspiration from others if it feels right, but trust your intuition first. Spirit thrives in openness, not structure.

If you’re developing your abilities, focus on being mindful and empathetic in your delivery. Mediums often spare clients painful details unless they’re essential. The goal is always to bring healing, not hurt.

P.S. When you are reading, don't think. Keep that logical mind quiet. It is the best thing you can do, I promise. Don't filter the information; don't question. GO with it. However, it is okay to get proactive and question Spirit, but I avoid that if possible. It prevents that conscious mind from becoming too active.

Finding Your Strengths

Not seeing Spirit doesn’t mean your third eye is closed. Spirit rarely appears physically. Instead, you may receive messages through feelings (clairsentience), visions (clairvoyance), knowing (claircognizance), or hearing (clairaudience). The majority of the time you will get information through every clair.

But for beginners, learn your dominant ability and start there. For me, clairsentience is my strength. I feel Spirit’s essence, their emotions, and even impressions of their appearance. Trust in your natural abilities, they’ll grow, and expand over time.

One person may have a clear-knowing of what a Spirit is wearing, another might hear it, another may see it, and one may feel it. Accept where you are and what you can do. Don't compare and contrast your abilities and your style of reading to anyone else's. There is a reason for your strength.

The Never-Ending Journey

Mediumship is an ever-evolving path. As you grow, you may branch into other areas, like holistic healing or channeling. Let go of ego, embrace discomfort, and trust in your potential.

Remember: you’re not alone. Spirit walks this journey with you, learning alongside you. Whether you’re a seasoned medium or just starting, trust the process and allow Spirit to guide the way.

Mediumship isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. And it’s in that presence where healing and transformation happen—for both Spirit and those of us still here.
