As an evidential medium, I'm always a bit taken aback when clients (psychic mediums refer to clients as "sitters") come to me and share with me horror stories about services, for which they've paid in the past. Many sitters do not understand the difference between an evidential medium and a psychic scam artist. Well, today I'm going to share with you exactly that, so you'll be able to spot the real spirit mediums from the phonies!
What is Evidential Mediumship, exactly?
Evidential mediumship is a practice, during which the psychic medium will bring forth highly compelling information about your loved ones in the Afterlife or Spirit World without any information from the sitter or client. Many mediums ask for a photograph of a sitter's departed loved ones, a personal possession of the deceased, or something similar. This is NOT evidential mediumship!
An evidential medium will never ask you for items or information about your loved ones in the spirit world and will, in fact, find themselves highly distracted if this information is volunteered prior to or during the mediumship reading. I always begin mediumship readings by sharing briefly with sitters information about how I receive information from their loved ones in the Afterlife and by communicating to sitters what I need from them during a mediumship reading:
I want the sitter to feel open to receiving any information, which might happen to come through, and curious about the process.
I want the sitter to AVOID giving me information about their departed loved ones prior to or during the mediumship reading. Personally, I find it incredibly distracting when sitters attempt to provide information about their loved ones in the spirit world prior to or during a mediumship reading. Instead, allow me as the spirit medium to tell you what the spirit world is showing to me.
I need the sitter to refrain from making comments or asking questions during the mediumship reading and tell each sitter at the beginning of every mediumship reading that I will permit a time for questions at the end of our time together.
I encourage the sitter to take notes during the mediumship reading.
The information, which an evidential medium brings forth during a reading is often highly specific, detailed information, rather than generalized statements, which some other psychic mediums might give during a reading, such as:
"Your grandma was a sweet and loving person, who liked to cook."
"Your dad had a hard time talking about his feelings."
"Your aunt cared a lot about you and misses you."
These may very well be valid statements, but where is the evidence, which definitively PROVES that the medium is, in fact, talking to those particular spirits? They literally just described almost anyone's grandma, dad or aunt--didn't they?
An evidential medium will give detailed descriptions, which can usually be verified by the sitter or people, whom the sitter knows:
"Your mom never went anywhere without wearing makeup and especially liked to wear this vibrant shade of red lipstick. She would also carry this somewhat bulky, white purse and carried literally everything in it. She always put it on the floor behind her seat when she got into the car. She shows me this long, white sedan. It reminds me of an older model Cadillac--like the type you would have seen on the road in the late 1970s or early 1980s."
"Your dad was about 215 pounds and had some problems with his cholesterol being high, even from his early thirties. He shows me being dressed in a brown suit and black necktie and wearing black-framed glasses, working in an office with wood paneling on the walls behind him and a large plant on the floor next to him. He also shows me that he would often stand up while working in his office and would habitually drink black coffee when he was working. He also shows me an ashtray next to him, which would often be full of cigarette ashes and cigarette butts. He was often a somewhat type-A personality with regard to his work, and I feel like it was often difficult for him to relax when he would be away from work. He feels as though he was always thinking about work, and this chronic stress was one of the main reasons he passed from a heart attack in his early 50s."
An evidential medium may ask at various points during a reading if the information given makes sense to you, as it helps the medium to know the extent, to which he or she is connecting with your loved ones in the spirit world. I always tell my sitters that I do not want to know anything beyond a simple "yes", "no", or "I'm not sure." Some sitters feel inclined to volunteer information when I ask whether they can validate the information, and doing so can actually derail a mediumship reading, as it brings the spirit medium out of his or her creative mind and puts him or her into the logical mind--not the place I want to be during a mediumship reading. I want to be completely devoid of the need to understand the information I am receiving from the spirit world (it isn't intended for me to understand it; it is intended for the sitter to understand it) and spiritually and mentally open to receive whatever information a spirit may wish to share with me.
People often have a lot of misconceptions about psychic mediums and what they actually do, as well as how they get information from the spirit world. I work evidentially, and at no point in time do I whip out the tarot cards (I don't even own any), read a person's palm, or summon up the dark forces. These are all stereotypes perpetuated by Hollywood and some religious traditions and are not at all accurate. Another thing I do not do as an evidential medium is ask for information from a sitter. Instead, permit your loved ones in the spirit world to provide evidence that they do indeed endure beyond the illusion known as death.
