About Mediumship
What is a Medium?
A medium is someone who can bridge the gap between the physical world and the spirit world. Because the energy of Spirit exists at a much higher frequency than what we typically perceive, mediums learn to shift their awareness—tuning in to that more subtle, unseen space. Think of it like sound or heat: you can’t see them, but you know they’re real. Mediums are highly intuitive and sensitive to energy. They receive information in many ways—through feeling, seeing, hearing, sensing, or simply knowing—and they learn to understand where that information is coming from and how to interpret it.
What does evidential mean?
“Evidential” means that the spirit provides specific details that help you recognize who they are. This might include their personality, physical appearance, shared memories, unique habits, or details about their life. The goal is to offer clear, meaningful evidence that confirms the connection—so you can feel confident about who’s coming through. If the information doesn’t resonate right away, that’s okay. I can ask Spirit to step back and invite someone forward who may be more familiar to you.
How do the senses work?
Mediums receive information from Spirit through intuitive senses, often called the “clairs,” which simply means “clear.” Just like we experience the physical world through sight, sound, feeling, and so on, mediums tune into subtle, energetic versions of those same senses.
Each medium experiences these differently. For example, clairvoyance (clear seeing) usually shows up not as full-body apparitions, but more like images in the mind’s eye—similar to daydreaming or visualizing. Clairsentience (clear feeling) allows mediums to sense emotions or physical sensations that don’t belong to them. If a spirit passed from a heart condition, the medium might feel tightness in the chest; if the spirit carries deep sorrow, the medium might tear up without knowing why. It’s part of the medium’s job to sort through what belongs to them, and what belongs to Spirit.
Other intuitive senses include clairaudience (clear hearing), claircognizance (clear knowing), clairalience (clear smelling), and clairgustance (clear tasting). Some mediums are especially strong in one or two, while others experience a mix that shifts over time. One week, they might receive vivid images; another, they may feel mostly physical sensations or just “know” something without any logical explanation.
It’s a bit like being in a room with someone—you might notice their voice, their presence, their scent, or their energy. Not everything is always obvious, and not everyone perceives things in the same way. The difference with mediumship is that all of this takes place at a higher energetic frequency, so mediums must learn to raise their awareness to meet it.
It’s an ongoing process of sensitivity, attention, and trust—and it keeps mediums open to the many ways Spirit communicates.
What is the difference between a Medium and a Psychic?
Many people think psychic and mediumship abilities are the same, but they’re actually quite different. A psychic tunes in to the energy of the person in front of them—reading their emotions, patterns, potential outcomes, and energetic field. It’s about connecting to you in the here and now.
A medium, on the other hand, connects with energy from the non-physical world—specifically with spirits who have passed on. To do that, the medium shifts their awareness to a higher frequency in order to perceive and receive messages from Spirit.
All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. Some mediums choose to work psychically as well, while others focus only on connecting with Spirit. It depends on the individual and how they’re called to serve.
Considering a reading with a Medium?
Mediumship is a unique experience—often emotional, sometimes unexpected, and always guided by Spirit. No two sessions are alike. Messages may come from loved ones you expect… or those you don’t. The best approach is to come with an open mind and heart. Want to know how to get the most out of your session? Here’s how to prepare.
