I am often astounded by people who claim to be highly trained, competent psychic mediums who seem to be unaware of the difference between working on a psychic versus a mediumistic level. Essentially, a psychic reading focuses on you, your life, perhaps your past, present and in some cases, future opportunities. Psychics read 'the living' - the physical, carnate world. Working as a medium means you are able to create a link with the Spirit World, and in my eyes, sustain that link long enough to work out who you are speaking to, who they link to on the living plane, and what message they may have for that loved one.
I have seen many 'mediums' giving demonstrations where they are predominantly using their psychic abilities rather than linking to Spirit. Why? For some, it is that they are untrained, how are they supposed to know where their information is coming from (the living or those who have passed on) if they haven't learnt to recognise the differences in the way reading psychically feels compared to passing on information from Spirit. For others, it is laziness. Psychic information is relatively easily accessible to those with a gift, and particularly for the empathic psychics who pick up easily on moods and emotions of the living. I have to stop myself grinding my teeth in frustration when I see a medium go straight to a member of the audience at a 'mediumship' event, starting with 'You've been feeling rather low recently' - so, which Spirit is giving them this message? They often use this 'mood gauging' as a way in to reading for someone, with no particularly clearly described Spirit in residence!
As is widely known, all mediums are psychic but not all psychics are mediums. In other words, psychic ability is the base line which everyone who has a gift begins with, but not all psychics develop or hone an ability to speak and communicate evidence from the Spirit world.
How to tell if you are receiving information from the living (psychic information from the aura or energy surrounding a person) or from Spirit is a very individual discernment. Some sensitives report a feeling of cobwebs on the face or goosebumps when communicating mediumistically. Others feel a warmth or a pull on the top of their head (crown chakra). When working on a psychic level, it is common to work from the solar plexus, to feel a pull in that upper abdominal area, and many psychics describe the feeling of working with the living as far more grounded and 'flat' in a way, compared to the raise in energy required and felt when linking to the Spirit world.
So why does it matter, I hear you ask? If a person receives upliftment from a message, is it really that big a deal that the psychic and/or the recipient thinks it is from their 'dead' Grandad Jim when in fact it is a psychic message, pulled from their own energy? Well, yes. Imagine you are on the Other Side, waiting patiently in line to give a loved one that all important message, you turn up at the demonstration, the medium seems to be linking to your family member and even possibly to you, describes you but then proceeds to completely ignore what you actually want to say in favour of a platitude or a cliche - the worst type of psychic message. Or imagine you are told by what you think is Grandad Jim that you will pass that important exam first time, but it is actually a psychic message which (as often happens) has been misinterpreted, and you actually fail the exam.
This in turn may lead you to distrust Grandad Jim (which you never did when he was alive) and probably the rest of the spirit world too, when in fact it was just an error on the part of the psychic, passing information pulled from your hopes and desires of passing the exam, these desires being uppermost in your aura at that time.
So learn the difference between gleaning information psychically , what type of information that tends to be and how that makes you feel, versus linking to Spirit , and how different that feels.
It is really important.
Next blog will be focusing on powering up, cleansing down and psychic protection.
