5 Things To Do Before a Reading
Before having a reading with a psychic medium, it's important to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to make the most out of the experience. Connecting with a medium can be a deeply personal and potentially transformative experience, providing an opportunity to communicate with loved ones who have passed away. To make sure you have a meaningful and fulfilling session, there are several important steps you can take beforehand. By following these five key practices, you can ensure your readiness, set appropriate expectations, and create an environment for a beautiful connection with your loved ones in the spiritual realm.
Ask yourself if its the right time
Consider your current state of grief with honesty and self-reflection. Are you still deeply immersed in it? Do you find yourself longing for ways to bring your loved one back? Are you experiencing depression, anger, excessive sadness, or tearfulness? Recognize these emotions and if you answered yes to any, consider seeking individual or group counselling to find a more solid emotional ground before seeing a medium.
When it comes to connecting with a loved one in spirit through a medium, time is not necessarily a determining factor. It's more important to give yourself the right amount of time to process your loss before seeking a medium. Rushing into a session without being emotionally ready can lead to unrealistic expectations.
Choosing a Psychic Medium that’s right for You
To choose the right psychic medium, use your own intuition to see who your drawn to and seek recommendations from friends and family. You'd be surprised to discover how many people in your life have had experiences with mediums. If you're interested in a famous medium, visit their website, even if you can't secure a session with them. They may provide a list of more accessible options.
Some mediums host group readings where they work with a larger group of people and provide readings with who they are called to. While you aren't guaranteed a reading, attending a spirit circle can help you understand the process and alleviate any expectations you may have. Consider whether a private session or a group reading feels right for you. Private sessions ensure a reading and protect your privacy, while group readings, even though they are a beautiful experience in their own right, you're not alone in your desire to connect with a lost loved one. Telephone readings can be just as valid as in-person sessions and may even leave you feeling more secure, knowing that the medium can't read your physical cues.
Ask your loved ones in spirit to be close with you
Before the session, spend time thinking about your loved one. Have a conversation with them in your thoughts, talk to them about your visit to the medium, and ask them to come through. If you are wanting to communicate with a particular person, let the medium know during the session. It’s ok to give the medium some direction without giving too much information away. The medium should be able to provide you with evidence of your loved one in spirit that they could not have known any other way than communicating with them in the spirit world. Most mediums do this work from their heart with integrity, there is only a minority who are not in this line of work for the right reasons so please trust that they are too occupied to spend time Googling you beforehand.
Be optimistic and realsitic all while keeping an open mind
Let yourself be excited! Bring that energy to your reading, the posibilities, the love that you and your loved ones in spirit share. They love nothing more than to see you happy and filled with joy. When you bring that energy to your reading it only adds to the experience. the higher the vibration the better the connection is.
Approach the session with an open mind and try not to get hung up on expectations. Some people have a fantastic first experience and feel they have heard everything they needed to. However, if your initial session falls short, consider trying at least one more time with a different medium. If allowed, record the session or take notes to help you remember the information that comes through. Sometimes, certain details may not resonate immediately but could make sense later on.
It's important to acknowledge that not all mediums are equally skilled. If you feel that a reading doesn't resonate or something doesn't sound right, don't hesitate to express that during the session. If you have a disappointing reading, don't let it discourage you from trying again with another medium.
Bring a notepad and pen to write down details that were important to you
If you have any questions about your loved one in the spirit world, why not ask the medium. Usually people have their own experiences after loosing a loved one that seem too coincidental, whether it be finding a coin, hearing a song on the radio, even seeing or hearing them, share that with the medium you have chosen and see if they have any more information from your loved one in the spirit world to offer you. After the session, write down your initial thoughts and impressions as soon as possible. A reading can be an emotional experience, and reviewing it later from a more grounded state can be helpful. Select individuals who will be supportive and understanding when sharing your experiences, as some people may have complex feelings or opposing belief systems regarding mediums and may respond with judgment or criticism.
Consider new ways to stay connected to your loved one after the session. You may feel more open than ever to the idea of communicating with them. Write letters to them, speak out loud as if they were present, or display more photos of them around your home. If you didn't have a positive experience, try not to let it discourage you. Keep exploring and finding ways for your deceased loved ones to remain present in your life.
Ultimately, the goal is to approach the process with a sense of curiosity and openness, allowing yourself to find comfort and meaning in connecting with your loved one, regardless of the specific outcomes or beliefs involved. Remember to prioritize your emotional well-being and seek support from trusted individuals or professionals as you navigate your grief journey. I hope you have the most special and memorable experience connecting with your loved ones in spirit through a medium.
With love,
