You may come across the terms psychic and medium being used separately sometime, then together at others, but there is one important difference between these two words. Someone can be psychic only, (using their intuition and psychic skills to tap into the energy of objects or people, to understand their situation as it relates to the past, present and future), but a medium, (who calls on spirit guidance as well as energy), is always psychic too.
Psychic mediums and the ‘clairs’
Basically, the definition of a psychic medium is someone who is able to connect to, and receive messages from people who have passed on, either directly or via angels and spirit guides – who may act as a kind of go-between. Not all psychic mediums draw on the same methods to do this, rather they rely on the ‘clairs’ which they are naturally gifted in. These could be one, several, or all of the following:
Clairvoyance – knowing through vision
Clairaudience – through sound
Clairsentience – through sensation/feeling
Clairscent – through smell
Clairtangency – through touch (of an object)
Clairgustance – though taste (without anything actually in the mouth)
How can psychic mediums help people?
All reputable (and genuine) psychic mediums work in a positive light. This means they do not receive and/or pass on messages of impending doom, death and disaster. Instead, they work as a kind of message taker to bridge the space between those in the living and the spirit worlds.
The major ways people find psychic mediums to be helpful are:
Providing reassurance – losing a loved one is never easy, and being able to learn that they are at peace and watching over them brings a lot of comfort and reassurance to those left behind.
Enabling forgiveness – when someone dies, especially when it is sudden and completely unexpected, those left behind may fret about the things which were left unsaid, the grudges unresolved, the arguments unsettled, or the opportunities to get together ignored. Being able to communicate that to their loved ones, and know that they, in turn, understand and forgive, is a hugely positive experience.
A source of valuable insight and advice – psychic-mediums are used to the spirits passing on their insight and advice to friends and family in the physical world. This can be a great comfort to those who get such messages, and who wouldn’t want to tap into such an amazing support network.
They can help you understand yourself – remember a psychic –medium isn’t just about communicating with people in the spirit world, as they also work with your own energy and through that can share valuable insights into what makes you tick. This can be a good opportunity to validate your personality, attitude and general lifestyle choices as you come to understand that you are a unique person, with a relevant role to play in this world.
Like everything in life, psychic-mediums are not cookie cutter identical, but they all offer services which you can benefit from in some way.
