You’re Born With It Baby
Since embracing my mediumship I have come to learn that channeling Spirit should be almost effortless. I have had other people within the “metaphysical” community tell me that I should meditate or burn incense and put myself in a quiet room to connect to Spirit and communicate with souls. But those things never work and oftentimes make me feel unsettled and a bit overwhelmed.
Since embarking on this journey to create Meta Psyckicks with my best friend and personal spiritual advisor Em, I have gotten a few emails from people asking how they can full fill their calling to become a medium. This may not be the answer you’re looking for but I’m here to tell you that mediumship is not something you feel called to, it’s something that you’re called to do. Whether you like it or not.
So, if you’re a person who is feeling “called to being a medium” please continue reading to see if you’re a medium or someone who wants to be. There is a huge difference.
*Note: Please click the link below to take our interactive quiz that may help you in narrowing down if you are a Sensitive, Psychic, or Medium. Because more often than not, it is individuals who are sensitive to the metaphysical energy around them or sometimes psychic that feel they have a calling to be a medium. But are in fact are not mediums.

Meditation Is Not The Key
As a psychic medium I have found that I have never been a big fan of having the dead talk to me. As a child it was terrifying, ostracizing, and toyed with my sanity. And it still does.
The normal amount of metaphysical energy I perceive on a day-to-day basis can be overwhelming. For example, the emotions of other living beings as well as dead ones, sensing spirits around living people, and randomly in the physical world are some of the everyday perceptions I experience. But in all actuality, these are the metaphysical senses I try to keep at bay. I have no reason or need to attempt to amplify them through meditation or any other act.
It is important to note that the meditation method I am referring to is the highly westernized version that seems to be preached by some other people who claim to be psychics or mediums within the metaphysical community.
The westernized version I am speaking about is what I referenced in the first few lines of this blog. Putting yourself in a quiet environment, and trying to clear your mind of all thoughts. Maybe burning candles or incense etc.
Let me be clear. There is nothing wrong with burning candles or incense in a quiet room to relax or reflect. But if this is the environment in which others are telling you to emerge yourself in to connect with Spirit, your Spirit Guides, or anything else, you are not a medium and the people telling you these things may not be either.
As I said, channeling spirits should be almost effortless. The only reason I say, “almost effortless” is because, for me, I try to keep certain metaphysical barriers in place to keep the constant flow of spiritual energy and information from influencing me too much.
So, when I feel the metaphysical nudge of a spirit or spiritual information around me, I need to open my mind and let down my walls in order to fully receive the information trying to be conveyed to me.
Some possible barriers aside from my own for example are when I am in a session with a client and one of their passed relatives doesn’t want to speak to me because of either:
a prior living religious prejudice or
simply because they don’t want to talk or can’t.
But I know they are there. I can see them in my mind’s eye. And I can confirm their presence to my client by describing them.
Metaphysical Senses
There are other types of mediums such as Trance and Physical Mediums, but I am a Mental Medium. That means that I receive information from spirits via thoughts, feelings, images, emotions, tastes, and smells that I experience in real-time but can be of things from the past, present, or future.
As a medium, I am psychic by default. And if you are a medium, you are too. But if you are a psychic, that does not necessarily mean you are a medium.
Past. Present. AND Future
It is our psychic abilities of all three tenses. Past. Present. And Future. That enables mediums to communicate with spirits. If you are receiving information from a soul they are obviously from the past physically. So the majority of the information they will be giving you is from where? The past. So there. You can say that you are gifted with the abilities of a psychic past.
Say you are not an established medium yet or are struggling with the reality of your gifts. You’re out in public and you begin receiving information from the random sensory perceptions that don’t seem to have to do with your current physical reality at all.
You see a person who you feel may be the recipient of the spiritual information you are receiving and you safely broach the topic with them. The soul gives you sufficient information to validate who they are. Now, this soul wants to inform the person you are speaking to about something they have done and how it may affect their future.
This soul now conveys to you in whatever way that is specific to you (thoughts, feelings, images, emotions, tastes, and smells, or any combination of these) the event that took place in this person’s life and now a few things or one thing that may happen because of it. This not only your psychic abilities of the past that the spirit is utilizing but also your psychic ability of the future.
As a medium, your psychic abilities of past, present, and future are what Spirit uses to convey information to you and the people they need to communicate with. Please don’t forget that. Anyways…
Congratulations you have the psychic gifts of past and future. But what about the present?
Sorry, It’s Not A Calling.
I am sure that if you’ve gotten this far into reading this blog post and you’re a medium or realizing you’re one, then you will be able to think of a present event that a soul has shown you while channeling their energy to further validate who they are or what specific current event they want to touch on regarding their living friend or family member’s life. (And yes this is what a reading can be like for all you baby and/or in-denial mediums out there.)
For example, I had a spirit show me my client’s husband folding towels and putting them away in a hall closet off my vision of their zoom screen to validate their presence. Their husband was presently putting the laundry away.
Now you may be wondering why I may seem a bit blunt or rude while addressing an audience who may feel a “calling to becoming a medium” or the individuals I have strikingly labeled “people who claim to be psychics or mediums in the metaphysical community” but it is because of this. As a psychic medium, I did not physically choose to have these gifts. They were given to me to have during this life. I will not find out why until I die. As far as I presently understand mediumship is not something one can learn. You are either born this as a medium or you are not.
I sincerely apologize if I am offending anyone. Truly I do. But I am writing this because of the few people who have reached out to me feeling they have a “calling to become a medium”. I have no doubt that the individuals I have spoken to have gifts. Some Sensitive and Intuitive, others with some forms of Psychic abilities. Each has asked if I know of any “cheaper classes” that can help teach them how to become a medium or enhance their abilities.
My answer? No. But why?
You Need No Teacher
If you are a medium, you’ll know. Or think you’re on the hinge of sanity. Spiritual energy and the metaphysical world will not be something that you need to “tap into” or seclude yourself in a “meditation” room to a better channel.
Most likely you will be out in public, minding your own business when all of a sudden you receive thoughts, feelings, images, emotions, tastes, and smells, or any combination of these that have NO connection to your present reality. You will struggle with the overwhelming feeling of approaching a random stranger who you know this information is for. And if you’re anything like me. You won’t. Too shy, embarrassed, and scared to approach a stranger with such odd and unexplained knowing of knowledge.
If you are truly a medium you will need training. No classes. No tutors. I know I certainly will never tell another human being that I can teach them what I can do. Or show them how to become a “better” medium. That is not my place. Or anyone else’s for that matter. But do you know who can help you on your spiritual journey? Your Spirit Guides.
Your Real Teachers
Your Spirit Guides will never charge you for lessons in mediumship. They will not create a 12-step master class on harnessing your intuitive abilities. But they will be your unconditional spiritual guides to all things metaphysical. Irrevocably and unconditionally.
I am by no means saying that you have to embark on your spiritual journey all on your own. No. No. No. I know I couldn’t. Instead of someone claiming they can be your teaching for a price, find people who you can physically talk to. That you trust to listen to what you experience as a medium and want to share. Someone who doesn’t judge you or your gifts, but also someone who doesn’t tell you how to use them or change them.
I mentioned that my best friend Em is my Spiritual Advisor. I know after reading this portion she may laugh that I called her that in the beginning of this blog because I know she doesn’t feel “ officially qualified” to be deemed a spiritual advisor. But she has been the #1 person I know I can share my mediumship stories to without judgment and without harsh input.
She helps me to reel in all the emotions that come with what I can do. She helps me to see my mediumship in a different light and digest the different people and spirits I talk to. To step back from the emotional or frustrating reading I have given and to see them from a different and sometimes more constructive standpoint.
My Spirit Guides and my best friend have been all the help and guidance I’ve needed so far on my journey of being a medium. If anyone approaches you saying they can teach you to be a medium or amplify your gifts for money, please do not follow them. Because nobody can help you more than your Spirit Guides. The beings specifically paired with you for your soul’s physical journey in life. And a best friend.
