How to Prepare for Your Medium Reading
A medium reading connects you with loved ones who’ve crossed into the spirit realm. Through the medium, they share details about themselves and their lives, as well as memories they had with you. Your loved ones in spirit also often provide their insight and guidance for your current life. They want you to know that they are still there for you, just in a different form, offering their love, support and encouragement.
As the sitter — the living person inviting their loved ones in spirit to connect — you play a vital role in the reading. The energy and openness you bring to the reading is critical to creating the right conditions and maintaining the right balance between you, the medium and spirit.
So, to increase your chances of having an amazing experience, here are a few recommended steps:
Schedule your reading a few days in advance and mark it on your calendar. This is a clear signal to everyone — including your loved ones in spirit — that you intend to connect. It also provides time for you to mentally and emotionally prepare, ensuring you are ready to focus your energy on the reading when the time comes.
Ask your loved ones in spirit to come through during your reading. In the meantime between scheduling your reading and actually sitting down for it, think about which of your loved ones in spirit you would like to come through. Periodically — and out loud — ask them to show up during your upcoming reading. This helps to make them aware that you have a strong desire to connect with them — and the stronger your desire, the greater chance they will make their presence known. (Please note that there’s no way to guarantee a particular person will come through.)
Get clear about your intentions. Think about what you would like to discuss with your loved ones. Do you have questions about the past? Would you like guidance on something coming up in your life? It can be beneficial to take a few minutes to jot down — with pen and paper, so it’s easier for spirit to read — a list of questions you would like answered. As you write them, also say them out loud. This practice increases the chances of your loved ones addressing what you’d like to know.
Rest and relax before your reading. The energy you bring to the reading matters. If you are exhausted or preoccupied, it can negatively affect the delicate balance between you, the medium and your loved ones in spirit that is needed for a great reading. If possible, it’s best to make the reading your focus for the day. Try to get good sleep the night before and take it easy the day of your reading. You also might consider meditating right before your reading, so you can bring the sort of calmness and openness needed to create that awesome connection.
Show up to your reading on time. To continue the momentum for your reading, plan your route so you are not rushed and arrive at the physical location on time. If you are having a virtual meeting, make sure you have the necessary technological capabilities and know-how before it’s time. This ensures a smooth start to finally beginning the communication with your loved ones in spirit.
Every reading unfolds in its own unique way. Try to remain open to whoever and whatever may come through. It just might surprise you what you learn.
A reading truly can be a beautiful gift that you give yourself as well as your loved ones in spirit. It’s a wonderful reminder that they are always with you, wishing you well on your life’s journey.
