One of the things that I have found interesting with my Mediumship journey is that when you become a Medium, somehow word travels throughout the spirit world and before you know it, people that you might have only connected to briefly in life show up in readings. I picture myself and other Mediums as a lighthouse in the darkness and spirits that really just want to connect with the living find us somehow.
The following is an example from my journal of what happened while I was being read by a Medium who I thought was very good, and everything she said felt very legitimate. She brought in someone I knew from my past, but I just didn’t know them that well.

My practice partner went first and connected with my Mom’s old friend, Charlotte. My partner was a little hesitant about connecting with Charlotte because Charlotte was black and she was giving her motherly vibes. She thought there was no way I had a black Mom and she wasn’t sure if I would know her at all. When she said her description I instantly knew who it was. She said she had on thick white nursing shoes and an apron. She thought maybe she was a nurse because of the white shoes. She wasn’t a nurse, those thick white shoes and apron were symbols of her working in a cafeteria. My Mom worked in my elementary school’s cafeteria for a couple of years, and Charlotte was my Mom’s boss. I really liked hearing from Charlotte. I remembered how she was always so nice to me. I remembered her personality and it really came through in the reading.
When I told my Mom Charlotte had come through she was happy and surprised. My Mom didn’t expect Charlotte to come through because of their falling out. Charlotte was clearly over it and sent her nothing but love. Charlotte’s message was, “Everything that goes on in this life doesn’t carry over as pain, it carries over as information.”
My Mom only knew Charlotte for two of the 72 years she has been on this earth. The fact that she came through just solidifies my belief that we are all connected during this life and after. There is a reason for every connection we have no matter how long or how little you know someone. Everyone teaches you a lesson or brings something into your life that you need.
I believe that people who pass over want to communicate with the living and I think when they find out someone they knew during their life starts working on their Mediumship skills, even if it was for a short while, they gather close because there aren’t many avenues for them to get in touch with the living. I mentioned in a post a few days ago that I encounter a lot of phonies while practicing. I just want to say that there are still real, legitimate Mediums out there, and I have come across several. I hope that if you ever decide to work with a Medium that you find one that is real, because what they can offer from the other side is truly amazing.
If you would like to help a Medium (who is not a phony) practice their skills please visit my Evidential Mediumship Readings page to find out how.
