The Work of a Medium

Messages come through to mediums in various different ways from the other side. They tend to come through in the best way to get the messages through the messenger. They will use whatever means available through the medium in order to either validate themselves, or in other cases, get specific messages through. For instance, one may see symbols that have specific meaning to him/her, and know to automatically say a certain thing, one may actually hear the spirits, or see them in the mind’s eye, or even as if they are standing before them. What we see/hear/feel, we describe, therefore allowing you to be able to validate the spirits who are coming through. Many times we are given specific information that only the person the message was intended for knows. In those cases, the validation is powerful, but it doesn’t mean any other means or information that comes through should not allow you to validate the spirit.

On the other side, from their perspective, their goal is to validate themselves in any way they are able to as quickly as possible. They are not able to stay for long periods of time, so there are sometimes, the energy might pull away if the spirit is not validated after several attempts.

Although most people who go to a medium for a spirit reading are hoping for a specific person to come through for them, if you are having a general spirit reading, I highly suggest coming to the reading with a very open mind. I suggest this, because if not, you may miss validating spirits that do come through. Especially because in many cases, the spirits will come through together, and the strongest energy will lead, so sometimes, there is a need to validate the “front liner” so that the others may follow.

If you are hoping for a particular person, then I highly suggest that the reading is targeted as such with a reader who will ask for something specific in order to work with the specific energy such as something that belonged to the person, a picture, or whatever the medium is able to work through and with to pull that specific energy of that specific person through. Many readers do both specific readings as well as general readings.

There are also other types of mediums who work directly with spirits who have not yet crossed to the other side, or in some cases, the spirit has crossed. The major point is the focus is different. The readings in this case are done for those who are left behind after a loved one has been a victim, or law enforcement. The medium works directly with the spirit to bring vital information to the family as well as law enforcement to bring justice, and/or closure.

You will also see mediums who work only with those who are stuck here as ghosts, in efforts to rescue them, or free them and help them cross to the other side. And, of course, there are also those who work in all the spirit realms mentioned above.

Most though, are drawn to a certain area of work with the spirit world depending on what their themes or purposes are for this life time. For instance, one who is here for healing, you will find mostly working with those left behind doing spirit readings. Those that are here for justice will feel more aligned in working with law enforcement.

Some mediums, however, do work with all realms of the spirit world. An example of a medium who does, is one who is here for rescue. You will often find these mediums in all facets, working with the spirit world and this world in any way that brings “rescue” of any type. Another example would be one who is here to validate the different realms.

What is important to remember no matter what type of reading or help you seek from a medium, is this: The messenger is never the message. The messenger is merely a channel that is able to be used in order to pass messages between here, the other side, and the space between us.

Granny’s Redbirds

My husband’s grandmother recently died. She lived to be a ripe old age of 86. She was a very spiritual woman. She lived in God’s country in the middle of a valley in Hollytree, Alabama, with beautiful mountains and undeveloped green acres all around her.

Every morning, with coffee in hand, she sat out on her screened in porch and watched the birds. Redbirds were her favorite.

Even though she was not a young woman, her death was very quick and unexpected. She was a very practical and warm hearted woman that everyone in the valley, as well as her friends and family, loved to visit with just to listen to her wonderful stories.

She lived a very simple life, untouched by all the technology of our modern age. She preferred the quiet peace of God, and His beautiful sounds of nature she heard throughout her days, as she walked around caring for her animals, and tending her chores.

My husband, even though, I am a practicing psychic medium, and he sees evidence of the afterlife through me daily, was having a very hard time loosing her. He could not bring himself to walk across the path from his mother’s house to his grandmother’s house after her death.

It had been several days since her death, when his uncle asked for his help in boarding up the house. He had called over to his mother’s house,where we were staying, asking my husband to meet him across the path he had walked so many times in his life.

He was very reluctant to go. I persuaded him to go, telling him I would go with him, and that I was sure if he went, she would send him a sign letting him know that she made it and that she was happy and okay.

We walked, once again, the path to Granny’s house. Everything was quiet there, and my husband could not bring himself to go inside. His uncle had not arrived yet, so we stood in the middle of her backyard holding hands in total silence.

I thought to myself, “Granny, please show him you are okay. He really needs to know.”

Just then, hundreds of paired redbirds swarmed the backyard all at once, landing near our feet, staying only a moment, then all flying away at the same time! Then only seconds later, it happened again. After a third, and final time, they seemed to circle us, and then they were gone. It was the most beautiful sign in all my years of practicing, I had ever seen!

Thank you, Granny, for letting him know you are still alive and well on the other side!
