How to become a medium

Before we answer those questions, let’s first be clear on what mediumship and the job as a medium is: 


What is a medium?

A medium is someone who bridges the gap between the world of the living and the spirit world. Someone who can channel messages from deceased loved ones or spirit guides. A psychic medium can also bring forth messages with tools like psychometry, tarot or a pendulum. So there’s a difference between a psychic and a medium. But sometimes they’re both called psychic mediumship. Because for both you need psychic abilities.


What job is a medium

As a psychic you help people on their life’s path making the right choices, knowing how they can proceed, which steps to take. As a medium you help heal the mourning hearts by connecting them through you to their deceased loved ones. Both jobs can be emotionally challenging. But I also think that that’s just the beauty of it!


How to become a medium?

You need psychic abilities to become a psychic or medium. To me it’s this easy: you can start with your intuition. As we humans are mammals, we have instinct and intuition just like every other animal. And when we learn to trust our gut, listen to it, we finetune ourselves to listen to the very subtle language of energy. And when we can listen to our intuition it’s just a little jump to listen to your psychic abilities. But what are those psychic abilities?


Psychic abilities:

  • Clairvoyance - clearly seeing.

  • Clairaudience - clearly hearing.

  • Clairsentience - clearly feeling.

  • Claircognizance - clearly knowing.

  • Clairolfactance - clearly smelling.

  • Clairgustance - clearly tasting.


How to know your psychic abilities

What I’ve seen with my students is (overall, there are exceptions) that the way you think, is mostly also the way you receive messages. So when you think in visions and imagery, you will most likely be clairvoyant. But being clairvoyant doesn’t always mean that you truly see the spirits in their last life’s form. It can also mean that you see symbolic images and vision. Some see images and some see whole movies in their mind’s eye.


How to bring out your psychic abilities

So when you are starting to trust your intuition, try and learn how you receive the messages. Do you ‘just know’, or do you ‘hear a little voice’ inside your brain? Then go with that. The more you trust it, the more you get aware of it. And the more you probably will develop another ‘clair’ especially when you are going to work with the spirit world. Because some spirits or guides are better at speaking than images for example. 


But please be aware that you always ground yourself, open the connection with awareness AND close it again! Just to be safe and stay spiritually healthy!
