Mediumship 101

We all have the ability to speak to our loved ones in spirit that have crossed over to the other side. We feel them, we hear them, and we remember them. We can even remember the smell of their perfume, their cooking, or their cologne. Communicating with the spirit world is something that we all do, and that is a connection that is never severed.

But sometimes that communication can be difficult to do, especially when grief gets in the way. We may try to remember their old homes, their neighborhoods, or even their community of friends, only to feel that it is all out of reach. This is normal for two reasons. One, we are supposed to ask for assistance from a medium, or two, their spirit is asking us to move on a little bit without them.

How do we know which is which? Timing. Usually, if a spirit has just departed, their ability to reach you is fresh and easy to get through. They are fresh in your thoughts, and you are open to their reception. Over time, life passes, and although the grief may still remain, that closeness felt seems further away. This is when spirit takes their time in reaching out, to not overwhelm you, to help you move on without them, and for them themselves to begin to move on from the lifetime recently lived with you.

If it’s early on and your loved one just passed and you want help communicating because you can’t connect to them, then reaching out to a medium can be the perfect thing to do. The medium can help you strengthen this connection and help you place their departure more easily by teaching you to maintain that connection yourself. If you haven’t felt the spirit of the loved one that passed in a long time, that may also be a good time to reach out to a medium. The reason here being that the connection may just need strengthening so that you can maintain it. Just know that if the opportunity arises to have a reading with a medium and you feel the urge, take it. It is usually your loved one in spirit sharing their wish to communicate with you, seeing a blockage in your ability to receive that communication, and urging you to go to that medium so the medium can be the bridge of connection between you both.
