Even those who have received a reading from a psychic medium before may have some misconceptions about what it means to be a medium. That is to be expected; each medium may possess different skill sets, areas of focus, or methods, and every reading is unique. However, it is best to try to understand the myths of mediumship before attending a reading to ensure sitters know what to expect and what is possible for the reader.
Myth: Mediums are always seeing/hearing spirits.
This myth has a few different layers. To begin, the ways a medium can sense a spirit varies; through the “clair” senses, mediums may see, hear, smell, taste, feel, or sense a spirit near them, and by focusing on this experience, they can attempt to understand and convey messages. Fortunately, most mediums are not constantly aware of the spirits around them, as this experience would certainly be exhausting. Some mediums may meditate or utilize crystals to protect their minds from the awareness of nearby spirits, and others may find that they must invoke specific rituals or environments in order to clearly sense spirits. Either way, mediums typically find ways to distance themselves from spirits in order to function on a regular basis.
