What is the difference between a psychic and a medium?

 

You may have heard the phrase all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums......

Firstly, every person has a psychic sense call it extra-sensory, knowing who’s there when the phone rings, getting a bad ‘vibe’ off a person, we all have the ability to tune in to ourselves or into another’s energy field. The most natural example is of course, a mother’s intuition! Being able to sense when a loved one is in danger or not being able to tell your mum a lie because she can ‘tell’ if you’re spoofing!!! Everyone openly accepts this version of being intuitive but try and tell someone you can develop these abilities further and you’re likely to get a whoooah Reaction! Being psychic is having the ability to read or tune in to a person’s energy field and give them information pertaining to their life, past present and future. This is where the fortune telling label can get slapped on and where some confusion lies. A psychic can use tools such as cards, runes, tea-leaves, crystals and the good old fashioned crystal ball to predict patterns or trends in a client’s life. A psychic will give you guidance on YOUR life because it’s YOUR energy field they are tuning into. A psychic does not have the ability to tune into spirit or loved ones that have died, i.e. a psychic reading consists of information pertaining to you and your life.

A medium, is exactly as the name suggests, is a bridge between the living and the dead. Most mediums prefer to use the term crossed over or passed on, because our souls never truly die. A medium is psychic, so some mediums can offer psychic readings as well as mediumship. This is where the confusion comes in as the term psychic mediumship does not mean spiritual mediumship. A Psychic medium as mentioned reads the clients energy whereas the spiritual medium connects with spirit, in everyday life we tend to drop titles and the psychic medium gets called ‘a psychic’ and the spiritualist medium gets called ‘a medium’.

I always recommend you check with the reader, firstly deciding do you want a reading with regard to a situation in your life or do you want to connect with a loved one that has passed on. Some mediums can do both in a reading, but you need to check.

Now to adding to this further is the titles, Clairvoyant, clairsentinant and clairaudience. This leads me to the next frequently asked question:

 

What’s the difference between a Clairvoyant and a medium?

 

A Clairvoyant is a medium. The term clairvoyant means clear-seeing. The medium has the ability to see spirit. Either seeing the image in their mind or as a full form apparition. The latter is very rare.

If there has been sometime between the death of a loved one, they may appear dressed in the clothing of that era, so the medium can give a valid description of their physicality and appearance. Some spirits if they’ve passed through a dehabilatating illness like to show their loved ones that their back to themselves again and most importantly are happy and very much at peace.

Clairsentanance means clear-feeling. The medium has the ability to sense how a loved one died as they can feel what part of the body was affected, they can also be give certain significant smells, such as if a loved one’s father was a pipe smoker and the medium could smell tobacco, this would be meaningful to the client as they would identify the smell of tobacco with their dad and would be further proof of the validity of the sitting. It also alludes to the ability to get a sense of the loved ones character, if for example the clients father had an extraverted personality the reader would pick up on this and relay this onto the loved one.

Clairaudience means clear-hearing. The medium can hear messages from the person in spirit to the loved one. Again every medium has a different style, some actually hear voices externally as if another person was speaking in the room, whereas the most recognised form of clairaudience is hearing the voices inside your head, internally. Now before you begin to go aaaaah hearing voices.....right....! I hasten to add the medium can readily identify spirit from their own internal dialogue. The only example I can give you is from my own personal experience. Spirit has no accent and the information has no meaning to me and as I utter the words that flow into my head my clients facial expression is enough to trust in my guides and their loved ones that the information is valid."

What is Amethyst and what are the benefits of having it?

 

This beautiful purple crystal is one of the quartz family. The stone for pisces and aquarious. It is said to cure insomnia, eleviate bad dreams and ease a headache.
It was used in ancient times to help with addiction and the colour is denoted to be that of royalty. Purple is also the colour of the third eye chakra, the stone is said to help open the third eye, increasing your psychic abilities and intuition.The properties of Amethyst are amplified further when set in silver or gold and worn as jewellery.
Have your crystal near your body for its effects to take place. Cleanse your crystal in moonlight or by placing it in a dish with a piece of hematite. Hematite releases negative ions as does the moon, which charges and cleanses your amethyst of any other of your crystals.
