How is mediumship different than a psychic reading?

Many people are confused as to how a medium differs from a psychic. This is complicated by the fact that mediums are psychic, some psychics are mediums, and many people offer psychic and mediumship readings.

A psychic uses intuition to receive information about someone’s past, present, or future. They may do this by reading the client’s energy field, connecting with their own or the client’s spirit guides or higher self, or connecting with a Universal Source. They may use tarot cards or other tools, or have alternate ways of divining information. They may just “know” things. The intention of a psychic reading may be to offer guidance, a fresh perspective, and possibly strategies for dealing with challenges. The process might help people understand what is happening in their lives. Some psychics include mediumship in their readings.

Mediumship is connecting with the client’s recognizable loved ones in spirit. It does not involve predictions of any kind, or analysis of one’s career, finances, or love life. The intention of mediumship is to let the client know that their loves ones are still a part of their lives, reduce feelings of loss, and diminish fear of death. Loved ones may offer messages of love, support, and healing. Loved ones can be pets or human.
