What to Expect from a Reading

What is a psychic mediumship reading?

A psychic mediumship reading is a session where a medium connects with spirits, often loved ones who have passed away, to provide messages of guidance, validation, and healing.

What can I expect from a psychic mediumship reading?

  • Spirit Communication – The medium may receive messages from spirits, often in the form of thoughts, impressions, symbols, or feelings.

  • Validation – You may receive details that confirm the identity of a spirit, such as their personality, appearance, memories, or mannerisms.

  • Healing and Comfort – Many find readings to be a source of emotional healing, closure, and reassurance that loved one’s soul is in spirit and with us.

  • Guidance and Insight – Some readings may include spiritual guidance on personal matters, though this varies and should not be expected.

How should I prepare for a reading?

  • Approach with an open mind and heart to receive messages as they come.

  • Have reasonable expectations—spirits communicate in their own way and may not always provide direct answers.

  • Avoid providing too much information upfront but be willing to validate details when appropriate.

  • If seeking connection with a specific person, set an intention, but remain open to whoever may come through.

What if I do not receive a message from the person I wanted to connect with?

While mediums often bring through those you hope to hear from, no connection is guaranteed. Spirit is in control of communication based more on what you need to hear for your greatest good. Often times Erin can connect with your specific loved one by providing a first name ONLY however you are welcome to allow spirit to lead the way for you by providing no information whatsoever.

What NOT to Expect from a Psychic Mediumship Reading

🚫 Exact Predictions or Timelines – Mediums do not predict lottery numbers, exact dates, or guaranteed future outcomes. Erin will never provide medical advice of any kind.

🚫 A "Yes or No" Answer to Life Decisions – Readings provide insight, but they should not replace personal decision-making or professional advice (e.g., medical, legal, or financial matters).

🚫 Direct Control Over Spirit Communication – Mediums cannot demand spirits to appear or dictate how they deliver messages. A medium is a conduit (pass through) for information between you and your loved ones who have passed. A medium will share evidential information based on their style of mediumship and your job is to validate the information as relevant to you or let your medium know if information is not relevant to you.

🚫 A Perfect, Word-for-Word Conversation – Spirit messages often come symbolically or with ‘snapshots’ of pictures, places, people or things and may require interpretation from the sitter to validate relevance of the relationship between you and the loved one who is being channeled.

🚫 Doom and Gloom – Ethical mediums focus on love, healing, and positive communication rather than fear-based messages.

What if I am skeptical?

Healthy skepticism is natural! Many people find that an open yet discerning approach helps them have a meaningful experience.

The “Clairs” of Mediumship

1. Clairvoyance ("Clear Seeing")

🔹 What It Is: The ability to receive intuitive or spiritual information through visions, images, or mental pictures.
🔹 How It Works: A medium may "see" symbols, people, places, or events in their mind’s eye (third eye). These visions can be literal or symbolic.
🔹 Example: A medium might see a red rose when a spirit wants to communicate love or see a childhood home that has significance to the sitter (the person receiving the reading).

2. Clairaudience ("Clear Hearing")

🔹 What It Is: The ability to hear spiritual messages, sounds, or voices that are not audible to the physical ear.
🔹 How It Works: A medium may hear words, names, phrases, music, or even tones from spirit communication, either internally (in their mind) or externally (as if coming from outside of them).
🔹 Example: A medium may suddenly hear "Uncle John" in their mind when trying to identify a spirit or hear a favorite song of the deceased person they are connecting with.

3. Clairsentience ("Clear Feeling")

🔹 What It Is: The ability to sense or feel emotions, physical sensations, or energy from spirits.
🔹 How It Works: Mediums can experience the emotions or even physical symptoms of the spirit with which they are communicating. This can include feelings of love, sadness, or even a sudden sensation of how they passed (e.g., chest pain for a heart attack).
🔹 Example: A medium may suddenly feel overwhelming joy, sadness, or even a gentle touch on their shoulder, indicating a loved one's presence.

4. Claircognizance ("Clear Knowing")

🔹 What It Is: The ability to receive intuitive knowledge or information without any logical explanation.
🔹 How It Works: A medium will "just know" something about a person, situation, or spirit without having received any prior information. This is often described as a sudden download of knowledge.
🔹 Example: A medium may immediately know details about a spirit's personality, life events, or messages without receiving them through visions or words.

5. Clairgustance & Clairalience ("Clear Tasting & Smelling")

🔹 What It Is:

  • Clairgustance refers to the ability to "taste" something that is not physically present.

  • Clairalience (or Clairscent) is the ability to "smell" scents connected to spirits.
    🔹 How It Works: Spirits may use scents or tastes to trigger memories or provide validation.
    🔹 Example: A medium might suddenly taste a specific favorite dish or smell a loved one’s perfume, cigar smoke, or flowers associated with the deceased.

How the Clairs Work Together

Most mediums have a dominant "Clair" but may experience multiple forms of perception at the same time. For example, a medium might see an image (Clairvoyance), feel an emotion (Clairsentience), and hear a word (Clairaudience) all within the same reading.

Is Mediumship a Gift?

It is the belief of this medium that everyone has the ability to be intuitive. If you have ever observed a child speak of loved ones they have never met or watched a pet stare at or react to something you can not see, those are likely examples of mediumship ability. Anyone can connect intuitively and strengthen their mediumship ability. It takes time, diligence, and strong ethics in order to understand that mediumship truly is an awesome ability and tremendous responsibility to be handled with love and authentic care.
