The Lifelong Growth Journey Of A Spirit Messenger
As a professional psychic medium, there are times when I have profound readings with clients that remind me why I chose this path. These moments are touchstones for my own soul journey. Today’s reading with a long-lost client was one of those moments.
We hadn’t spoken in over thirteen years. Life had moved on for both of us. Yet, as usual, spirit had impeccable timing.
Despite the years that had passed, she found my contact information in an old magazine article I wrote nearly fifteen years ago. She doesn’t tend to keep things like this, so she was surprised to stumble upon it.
Was it a coincidence? Or was it a nudge from the other side? I have no doubt that her loved ones orchestrated the whole event, weaving threads of destiny to bring us back together.
From the moment our session began, the energy was electric. Our connection was instantaneous, as if no time had passed at all. It was just as magical as when she first visited my home in South Africa so many years ago.
Her spirit family lined up eagerly, as if they had been waiting for this moment for years. Her late father made his presence known first, with unmistakable details, such as his confident swagger and a certain hand gesture that she instantly recognized.
The reading was filled with laughter, which spirit adores. The joy and elevated vibration only deepened our connection and opened the channel wider. As the energy built, more evidence and heartfelt messages flowed effortlessly.
Psychics And Mediums: What’s The Difference?
The terms “psychic” and “medium” are often used interchangeably, mostly because people assume they are one and the same. While they do overlap, the truth is they serve different roles.
Understanding what makes them different — and what they have in common — is key if you’re exploring psychic readings, spirituality, and metaphysical practices.
First of all, think of it this way: all mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums.
A psychic is someone who is capable of extrasensory perception (ESP), which means they can perceive information beyond the normal five senses.
The word “psychic” comes from the Greek word psykhikos, which means “of the soul, spirit, or mind.” This, in turn, is derived from psykhē, which means “soul” or “mind.” So, essentially, “psychic” refers to anything related to the mind and soul.
Psychics use their abilities to sense information about a living person’s past, present, and future. They can perceive potential life paths, challenges, or opportunities.
Their gifts may include more than one ability, such as clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (feeling or sensing) and claircognizance (knowing). Using these perceptual abilities, psychics can offer their clients clarity, guidance, and insight into life’s many questions.
When Spirit Reveals The Sugar-Free Truth
When you consult a reputable psychic medium, you are receiving channeled messages from angels, spirit guides, ancestors, or loved ones in spirit. Your team of spiritual helpers has a simple goal: to offer you the guidance, insight, protection, and support you need most at that moment in your life.
Psychic mediums are merely the messengers — spiritual conduits who relay information from the unseen realms to you. It’s important to remember this when you receive a reading, because we do not control the messages that come through.
Your guides, angels and soul family who work with you decide what information to share and when to share it. Sometimes what they reveal is exactly what you wanted to hear. Other times it’s not what you were expecting at all.
Often the messages you receive from the spirit realm bring clarity to your questions and resonate deeply with your current experience. But sometimes their meaning is not immediately apparent. It’s only later, with a fresh perspective or as new events unfold, that the pieces click into place.
Your guides and guardians always act in your best interests. Their ultimate goal is to help you grow, evolve and move forward. They don’t want you to get stuck in situations or mindsets that no longer serve your highest good.
But growth and spiritual evolution are rarely smooth rides. Personal development often involves challenges, discomfort, and moments of hard truth. Consulting a psychic or medium is not just a curiosity or a fun activity — it is a spiritual act of courage, healing and growth. It’s an invitation to connect with hidden truths, future possibilities, and higher states of consciousness.
The Difference Between ‘Psychic’ And ‘Intuitive’
The terms “psychic” and “intuitive” are often used interchangeably, but there is a fundamental difference between the two. Understanding this distinction can enhance one’s spiritual practice, deepen your self-awareness, and clarify the role these abilities play in navigating energy, conscious living and spiritual awareness.
The term “psychic” refers to the ability to access information through a special non-physical or spiritual system of perception, more often called the psychic senses or the clair senses. This ability allows a person with psychic ability to perceive or sense information without using the five physical senses. Psychic perception involves tuning into unseen frequencies and receiving impressions that are inaccessible to the five ordinary senses.
Psychic perception therefore involves reaching outward to access information from external sources. This can include tuning into other people’s energies, telepathy, communicating with the spirit realm, exploring the Akashic Records, or channeling from the universal consciousness.
The term “intuitive” refers to a the ability to access information within. Intuitive perception involves connecting with your higher self or soul essence, tapping into the innate wisdom, guidance and truth that resides within you. Unlike the psychic process of acquiring information, intuition is less about “getting” and more about already “having”-a natural inner knowing or awareness that arises effortlessly.
Lessons Learned From Evidential Mediumship
I recently completed a year-long course in evidential mediumship, and I have been reflecting on the most impactful lessons and insights from this transformative journey.
The experience deepened my understanding of the medium’s role in bringing comfort and healing to those experiencing intense grief. It was a powerful reminder of how a well-done channeled reading can uplift, comfort, and inspire clients by affirming that life and love continue beyond the veil.
Evidential mediumship is a spiritual practice in which a spiritual medium channels specific, verifiable information to prove the continued existence of a loved one after physical death.
The practice of evidential mediumship as we know it today has its roots in the spiritualist movement of the 19th century, which sought to bridge the gap between the living and the spirit world through structured communication.
But its origins go back to ancient times, as cultures around the world have always sought to connect with the spirit realm through spiritual intermediaries.
From shamans and soothayer to the seers and oracle of ancient civilizations, humanity has always reached beyond the physical realm for guidance, wisdom, and comfort. Evidential mediumship continues this timeless tradition, refined through modern practices to meet contemporary needs.
Evidential mediumship is also known as psychic mediumship or mental mediumship, which emphasizes the fact that the process involves the medium perceiving information as mental impressions in order to convey messages from spirit.
What It Means To Align With Your Higher Self
The term “higher self” is a term often used in spirituality, metaphysics, and psychic work, but it can be very confusing. What exactly is it? Is it our subconscious, our conscience, our alter ego, our soul, our spirit?
While these aspects are all related in some way to the higher self, it’s best understood as the most enlightened and transcendent part of our being.
Our soul or spirit is the conscious, evolving part of us in this lifetime, while the higher self is our soul’s highest potential. It is our divine blueprint and our eternal spiritual essence that exists beyond our physical self in the non-physical. It’s the timeless, eternal part of us that embodies the divine essence of who we are.
While the incarnated aspect of soul is the conscious experiencer throughout our lifetime, the higher self is the permanent aspect of the soul that exists in the higher realms.
The higher self is not a separate personality or individual being, but a deeply integrated, higher foundation of our soul. It is like a spiritual archive of all the wisdom, experiences and lessons accumulated from our past lives, as well as our soul contracts and higher purpose for this lifetime, serving as a blueprint for our soul’s evolution and life journey. It reflects the highest aspects of our being.
When we connect with our higher self, we align with this elevated aspect of who we truly are and what we intend to accomplish in this life and the next. This connection gives us clarity and insight into our soul’s path. It allows us to see life from a higher perspective and guides us to make choices that promote personal and spiritual growth. Connecting with the higher self helps us navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and purpose, allowing our soul to evolve and expand.
The Deeper Truth And Wisdom Of Psychic Reading
A good psychic reading offers more than just clarity and peace of mind — it is also a profound catalyst for spiritual growth.
When you have a psychic reading, you and your psychic form a connection on a soul level. This connection feels almost like stepping into another dimension, as you both raise your vibration and access a higher state of consciousness.
This process is both fascinating and mysterious. Often spirit will guide you to a particular psychic, even if you’re not sure why you feel drawn to them. This inner pull is your natural guidance system at work, nudging you toward the person who can provide the insights you need.
The personal issue or life challenge that’s weighing on your mind — whether it’s love, career, business, health, family or friends — is often the key to unlocking a portal of understanding. This portal holds hidden treasures: the spiritual lessons and growth opportunities that await you.
Edgar Cayce, one of the most documented psychics in history, believed that the purpose of psychic readings, or what he called “life readings,” was to provide guidance and insight to help people on their personal and spiritual journeys. He emphasized that these readings provide invaluable information about one’s health and wellness, life purpose, and spiritual growth.
Cayce’s more than 14,000 documented psychic readings often focused on holistic health, addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person’s well-being. He also believed that everyone has the potential to access their own inner guidance and intuition, and that psychic readings could serve as a tool to help us tap into this inner wisdom.
