The Difference Between Psychics And Psychic Mediums

By Kathleen Burns


Most individuals at some time in life come across a psychic or tarot card reader. Whether passing by an office, walking by a booth at a festival or speaking with one in an entertainment district, these individuals are often easy to find. While this is the case, psychic mediums which help individuals communicate with departed souls are often fewer and far between.

When it comes to mediums, these individuals are often fewer and far between compared to the world of psychics providing different types of card or other readings. For, these individuals can often communicate with souls in the spirit world. As a result, many individuals look towards mediums in order to communicate with a loved one who has passed on.

In this context, a medium often communicates by contacting someone whom has passed over and acts as a translator between the spirit of a departed and a person or persons still living. In most cases, the medium receives intuitive information through pictures and thoughts in the mind, then relays that information on to the living. After which, if the individual has any questions or concerned, the medium will often sit with, talk or provide additional readings as necessary.

At other times, mediums can hear auditory messages or experience a presence, especially in the case of a seance. In fact, there are some psychics and mediums who offer readings and seances on a regular basis. While this is the case, it is often advised that those participating in these events know what to expect before attending such an event.

For those whom have questions, or need to speak longer than others, a seance can be a good way to do so. Although, if the questions are concerning private matters, then the individual might want to consider visiting a medium in an office or other quiet space where the spirit and individual can communicate on a more personal level. In this case, the medium often channels the spirit while relaying messages between the spiritual and physical worlds.

When it comes to a seance, depending on whether there is one or more than one spirit to be called forth, the ceremony can last from about thirty minutes to hours. The attendees often have a good idea before the event as to how long each might last. As such, it is important to make any arrangements for child or pet care during the process. For, children or pets are generally not allowed at most of these events due to the possibility of actions and activities which may occur over the course of the event.

It should be noted that many people who are not trained in the psychic arts can still communicate with the dead. Although, for those with little to no experience, it is often suggested one have a guide present. In doing so, individuals can often better understand any messages being translated between the spirit physical worlds.

When it comes to people such as Sylvia Browne and John Edwards portraying the life of mediums on television, those working in the real world are far different. For, in most cases these individuals are only working with clients to help one communicate with loved ones whom have passed on. Whereas, those in the public eye are often trying to use the process as a means to sell books, CDs, tapes and other materials.
