Can you speak with Spirit without being a medium?

You Don’t Have to Be a Medium to Talk to Spirit

Have you ever had a dream so vivid it felt like more than a dream — maybe a loved one visiting, or a message you couldn’t shake? If so, you’ve already brushed against the whispers of spirit.

Here’s the truth: you don’t have to be a medium to connect with spirit. In fact, I recently recorded an episode of my podcast, Spirits Beside Us, all about this very topic. In that episode, I share how anyone can open the door to spirit using abilities they already have inside.

But let me give you the heart of it right now.

Spirit communication isn’t a special gift reserved for a few — it’s part of who you already are. Think of it like a muscle: even if you haven’t used it in a while, it’s still there.

The first step is intention. Spirit is always reaching out, like a radio station that never stops broadcasting. You just have to tune in. Simply say, “Spirit, I welcome you. I trust what I receive.” That’s enough to open the channel.

The second step is raising your vibration. Spirit communicates in the language of love, peace, and joy. A few minutes of slow, mindful breathing is often all it takes to shift your energy into a more receptive state.

Try This Mini Practice

Let’s do this together:

  1. Place your hands gently on your heart.

  2. Take a deep breath in through your nose… and slowly out through your mouth.

  3. Silently say: “Spirit, come closer. I welcome you. I trust what I receive.”

  4. Sit for a few moments and notice — a tingling, a memory, a wave of calm.

Don’t analyze. Just receive. Even if it feels like imagination, trust that spirit heard you.

Here’s the thing: spirit doesn’t come with flashing lights or booming voices. It’s often subtle — a song at the perfect time, repeating numbers, goosebumps, or a dream that feels more real than real. And yes, it often feels like daydreaming — and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to feel.

The key is trust. Think of trying to catch a feather: if you grip too tightly, it slips away. But if you open your hand, it lands softly. Spirit connection works the same way.

You don’t need to be a medium. You just need to be open.

Remember: you are a spiritual being having a human experience — and spirit is closer than you think.

Sending you love and light ✨
