How To Get The Best From A Mediumship Reading

I find the recipient can act much like an energetic battery that provides power for the session. As a result the recipient often becomes the main source of energy for the reading, so it's important that they are in their own highest vibrations. Additionally, since this is a connection to the spiritual, deep reverence for the process and prayers are also quite appropriate. 

Below I outline several helpful points that should assist you in getting the most from your session and giving you the best experience possible.

8 Ways To Get The Best From A Mediumship Reading

1. Fill Your Heart With Love And Positive Vibrations

Since spirit exists at a much higher vibration compared to us humans, we need to raise our vibrations substantially to meet spirit halfway and establish contact. The highest vibration possible is love and forgiveness towards others, similar to what Jesus Christ and Buddha taught. 

This together with enthusiasm will create the ideal conditions of high energy vibrations for communication, much like how a mobile phone relies on high energy wave lengths and strong cell towers with uninterrupted signals for the best sound. If there’s static electricity or storms or mountains interfering with a cell phone’s signal, then the call gets dropped. That analogy applies to attempts to connect with spirit—any negativity and the spiritual call gets disconnected. If you come to a session in a highly emotional state (terribly upset, depressed, angry, influenced by drugs or alcohol) then that negative energy will either squelch or block the completion of the spirit’s connection with the medium.

2. Be Open To Whatever Happens 

Your loved ones in spirit work hard together with spirit guides to get in contact with you through a medium with whom they can work well. Often, they influence your decision of whom you will ultimately go to for a reading. Since spirit knows best what you need for your growth, and it directs the communication, you may be surprised at who comes through in the reading and what their message is. While the love between you and a certain spirit may be particularly strong, don’t be shocked if someone else comes through instead. This doesn’t negate their love for you, nor should it imply anything negative about you. 

3. Take Notes Or Record Your Session

Often you may receive information from spirit that you can’t immediately place or understand. Since spirit often communicates with the medium using symbols that could have multiple meanings, it sometimes becomes a game of charades and an effort to figure out what the clues mean. No symbol or image given by spirit is ever wasted, as spirit is extremely efficient. Take notes or record the session (or ask the medium to record it) so you can later refer to the information that you can’t initially understand. 

Often you can figure out what the symbols or information means after thinking about it for some time. Perhaps you can look up the information using an online symbol dictionary to help you. In other situations, spirit sometimes provides information about something that hasn’t happened yet, but it wants you to know and be prepared in advance. This is another reason why it’s so important to be open to whatever you receive.

4. Invite Your Spirit Guides and Loved Ones to Join You 

Thoughts and intentions are incredibly powerful (in fact that is the most powerful energy in the spirit world). If you invite your spirit guides, angels and loved ones to join you at the reading, give them the date, time and place of the session. Think of it as a spiritual party invitation that when sent with love will often receive a good response. Again, don’t demand or expect anyone to appear, but the sheer intention will have a very positive impact. 

5. Don’t Get Upset If A Specific Loved One Doesn’t Come Through

Sometimes spirit determines that its in your best interest for maximum spiritual growth to hear from one person but not another. Don’t have your heart set on one specific person coming through, because its possible spirit has determined that you need to hear from someone else at this point in your life to help you grow the most. 

If you’re so set on hearing from one person, you might just block all communication from anyone. Additionally, its possible the person you’re waiting for may not be ready to communicate yet. Either they recently arrived, and they haven’t learned how to properly communicate or they may still be resting from a traumatic experience that brought them to spirit. 

6. Don't Volunteer Information 

Never give a medium any information about yourself or your loved ones either in advance or during the session. I'd still encourage you to be friendly, positive and open. Just don't volunteer information--allow the medium to do their job. Spirit wants to demonstrate its continued existence by providing volumes of evidence to you through the medium so that you are confident your loved ones are still around you. 

The best way to enable this demonstration by spirit is by limiting your responses to evidential information with brief, honest feedback. This also also prevents feeding the medium too much information. If the medium begins to ask open-ended questions, it’s possible he or she is starting to fish for clues—an absolute no-no in mediumistic circles. 

7. Let The Medium Do Their Job 

Don’t disrupt the session by asking a list of questions, becoming argumentative, or interrupting the flow of the reading. Some people have come to a session only to bombard the medium with endless questions and expecting answers. It’s ok to ask some questions at the end for clarification or follow up, but you came for a reading to hear from your loved ones in spirit—let the medium do their job so you can.

8. Come Relaxed And Pay Attention 

Perhaps the best thing you can do in preparation for a session is meditate as well as pray to your loved ones in spirit or your spirit guides or even the Divine Spirit. This helps calm your busy mind, brings harmony, reduces stress and anxiety, opens your pathways to love and forgiveness and raises your vibrations so that you help establish clear spirit communication. You will also be more alert so you can think more clearly, be in the moment and provide better responses. In this loving and relaxed state of mind almost anything is possible, and you improve your chances for having a wonderful and meaningful mediumship session.

I hope these ideas help you get the best from your next mediumship session. Connecting with spirit is a beautiful and magical experience and something in which everyone should be able to participate.
