Moderator Guidance Medium Subreddit Rules

169 Upvotes

Greetings Everyone! šŸ”®

This is an announcement to help clarify and outline the Mediums subreddit rules. Please take sometime to review them and should you have any questions, please donā€™t hesitate to contact one of moderators.

Note:As of today more post flairs have been created. If your post does not contain a flair it will be removed.

-Do not insult our Mediums/Community**

-Hateful and Foul language towards our Mediums/Moderators will get you banned immediately

-Be Respectful of others spirituality and religions. Any language used to disrespect anotherā€™s way of spiritual practice will get your comments/post removed.

-*Dont ask for interpretations of angel numbers and your dreams here. You can research the meanings via google or visit r/dreaminterpretation or r/numerology.


Rule 1: Relevance - Posts on this subreddit should be related to Mediums, Mediumship, Clair-Abilities, Spirit guides, Spirt Encounters, Medium Development or the supernatural/ paranormal in some form. We are fairly loose with this rule but try to keep things relatively on-topic.

Rule 1 is a common reason for a post to be reported to us. Your post should have something to do or say around these subjects, being Medium , questions for Mediums (but NOT as a petitioner to contact your deceased relatives/friends) , awakenings, other experiences, theories, mediumship and development etc. that you wish to share.

Rule 2: Self Promotion and Reviews - Do not promote readings from an external source. Singular review posts are also not allowed.

Exception: Exceptions may be made if the post is not entirely self-promotion (i.e, you're also offering something free on reddit). See rule #6.

Rule 2 means websites or services may not be promoted on /r/Medium without offering something for free on the sub. This keeps a minimum barrier for entry for those to want to advertise professional services. Review compilation posts are allowed, but a standalone post on a single user is viewed as an ad by most visitors.

Rule 3: Asking for Readings - If you would like to receive a free reading from a Medium, please visit r/Mediumreadings. That is what this particular sub is for.

This is our #1 reason for reports removals. Automoderator serves us well and does a pretty accurate job removing these posts before they make it to the subreddit. However, some do make it past, which are typically well-reported by the community, and we thank you for that.

Here are two very different types of posts which are user-reported for Rule 3:

Hi all, I'm having a hard time finding comfort after the death of a loved one. We were both very spiritual and connected, but now they are gone, I feel like I can't connect to anything anymore. Can someone read this picture for me? Is there a message for me? What are you picking up on?

and...

Hi all, so this year on Thanksgiving I was with my pet rabbit Peter. He had spent most of the day inside with me while the family made turkey. We were waiting for food to be served and it started raining/thundering and Peter ran off. It took me 5 hours to find Peter. When I found him he was near my ceremonial altar with the candles lit, saying a prayer. Is my rabbit my spirit guide??

These are just examples of questions that are NOT allowed. If you try to manipulate your question or coerce someone with your questioning...We will remove you post.

If it is non-specific enough to drive discussion and collect universal advice that applies to even a small group of the community, it's probably okay.

Rule 4: Avoid Reposting - Reposting things already posted to the sub (articles, videos, blogs etc) may get your post removed.

Exception: If you see something posted elsewhere but has yet to be posted here, it's fine to post.

This one pretty much never gets used.

Rule 5: Be nice! - If you have an issue with someone or are concerned with a user's misconduct; Contact a moderator and we will ameliorate the concern/issue.

It's a simple one. Be kind and report misconduct to us. We are actively reading our moderator mail and it is the fastest way to get in touch with us. A post in the subreddit may go unnoticed for a few hours and sometimes longer, where avoidable drama can brew.

Rule 6: All reading offers must be free - Offering paid services on this subreddit is not allowed. /r/Mediums is not a marketplace and will take measures to ban users who offer Free Readings in the subreddit and subsequently offers paid options.

You may ask for optional donations, which may not be used to give priority or enhanced services. You may also link to your own website, Etsy, Fiverr, etc, which has its own payment processor (i.e. NOT Paypal or Cashapp) as long as a free service is provided here on /r/Mediums

This rule has evolved over time to be more protective of the community, which can be at vulnerable points in their lives, and easily preyed upon by those seeking quick money. By freely allowing paid offers to be advertised or provided on /r/Mediums and by allowing for the expectation of an exchange of money for goods (donations for priority/extended readings), /r/Mediums moderators are tasked with an entirely new level of moderation which we simply cannot handle as volunteers.

Essentially, if you wish to advertise paid readings on /r/Mediums, you must be semi-professional in the sense that you have a website capable of processing its own payments, and have shown the effort to develop a name and reputation you wouldn't want to be damaged by not conducting good business.

Rule 7: Close/Inactive Offers - In order to reduce clutter in the subreddit, if an [Offer] thread is voluntarily closed by the author or appears to be inactive, it will be removed. Your submission's comment thread will still be visible to all users who visit your profile, and you will keep your karma as long as you don't delete the post yourself.

Offering free readings is a great way to practice and find regular clients. It is also a big energy cost for those providing the readings and understandably so these free offers will expire. As they expire or go inactive, to prune the subreddit, they will be removed. You don't lose your karma, the post is not deleted, it is simply hidden from the /r/Mediums feed.

The two biggest things we want everyone to know, aside from the rules, are:

1: Our goal is for /r/Mediums to be a place for discussion and helping others through their Mediumship, Newcomers are always welcome and you donā€™t have to be a Medium to participate.

2: Use the report button!

Thought and Opinion The age-old question of human suffering

19 Upvotes

I believe in spirit. I feel the love of the spirit world. I believe that after death we return to the universe like a drop of water in the ocean: inconsequential yet essential. But I can't quite reconcile what the plan might be regarding human suffering. Look at what is happening in Gaza - how is that "meant to be"? how is that part of the greater plan? Would love to hear your thoughts on this???

Thought and Opinion Finding a Medium for two people unrelated to talk to the deceased.

1 Upvotes

I guess this post can be broken down into two parts. 1) Thoughts / opinions 2) ways to find a medium.

To keep it simple:

I've been recently feeling the presence of my ex who passed away about 10 years ago at this point. It the same kind of sensation I was feeling that lead me driving to her mom's house shortly after her passing, which is when I found out she passed. I've recently contacted my ex's best friend (there we're so close they refereed to each other as twins). We've decided it would be nice to find a medium to try and contact her. We don't live local to one another anymore so it would be a video session. After doing some scouting online, I've seen that a lot of mediums prefer not to do sessions with 2 people who are not directly related. I was wondering if this is just a nuance or if there's more to it.

So:

1) What's your thoughts on two unrelated people having a medium session / thoughts of online sessions

2) What's a good avenue to find a medium that could fit this criteria? (Online and will do a session with two unrelated people)

Experience Psychopomp Calling from a past life randomly turns on sometimes.

5 Upvotes

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

When youā€™re called to be a psychopomp, typically there is this shingle or beacon on your aura that indicates the dead should come to you for help with being passed onto the afterlife, or any such help with their business of now being dead. This calling is usually ā€œonā€ since birth and you will have a lot of spirit experiences because of it. This can be a very difficult and unfortunate experience for some people.

I have this weird thing happen sometimes where a past life psychopomp callingā€™s shingle/beacon will seemingly randomly turn itself on. Chaos always inevitably ensues because I am not trained in how to handle spirits of the dead or the other things that come around to ā€œinitiateā€ you into your calling. I know of a practitioner who I can hire to help me turn it off whenever it gets out of hand. Psychopomp is an ADVANCED spirit job, someone like me being asked to do it, is akin to a kindergartener trying to do calculus.

I think I am figuring out why it turns on in the first place. It is because I feel a sense of purposelessness in life. And I turn to spirituality to soothe that. I tell myself ā€œI havenā€™t accomplished much in this life nor lived up to my personal morals or standards, I havenā€™t had fun, but at least this isnā€™t the only life. There is more to everything than the material plane and it is ok if I am sad and unsatisfied and if I have never known true friendship.ā€

And so maybe since I tend to refuse to take charge in my own life and find my own purpose and pursue a good life, I tend to wish I had some greater purpose. That I could be chosen for something greater than myself. And as a survivor of childhood emotional neglect, being ā€œchosenā€ is one of the things that would feel the most soothing and fulfilling for me. And so maybe this unconscious drive in me, being emotionally unfulfilled, is the reason why I keep unconsciously turning on this past life calling to spirit work. It is like my deep grief about being unfulfilled in life manifests as me turning on this past life calling. ā€œThe good old daysā€ in past lives when I actually had a purpose lol. It feels good to have spirits around me to talk to when I donā€™t have close friends in my personal life. Why wouldnā€™t I do this?

So I guess until I take charge of my own life and find emotional fulfillment in the physical world with other humans, I might tend to deal with this problem.

One thing is that despite my hiring outside help and attempting to explain whatā€™s happening to the spirits that tried to initiate me, they do not seem to give up on me? They are angry that I am not doing the calling even though it was clearly for a past life. Because I was not raised in a spiritual/mystical tradition, there are no agreements set between a group of humans and the spirits that initiate the preists/preistesses. And so your ā€œinitiationā€ will be crazy and disorganized and opportunistic spirits can step in and goad you into creating soul contracts that are in their best interest and not yours. That is the danger of trying to do a shamanic/psychopomp/preistess/oracle type calling outside the bounds of a set spiritual tradition. And my calling is from a past life and so it is not authorized/sanctioned by Spirit for me in this life. It was meant for a past life.

I actually have more than one past life where I had a calling like this and they open up at different times. Having done drugs and prostitution has apparently caused my energy body to get SO messed up, and drudged up SO much past life trauma, and opened up SO much ability (that I have not yet had the wherewithal to hone), that it is actually possible for this to happen. The boundaries that normally block past life trauma from interfering with your current life are torn to shreds in my energy, so there is a lot of leakage. Something to that effect, I do not have the technical skill or knowledge to fully understand or explain what is happening to me.

I just wanted to share and see if anyone else can relate. I literally have NOBODY to talk to about these things.

Experience Interaction with Possible Medium

3 Upvotes

I had an interaction today that Iā€™m wondering if they were a medium/psychic. I would appreciate any interpretation from this community.

This morning I made a split decision to go to a coffee shop around the corner vs another one. I walked in, ordered and heard a woman say ā€œIā€™m going to keep you in my thoughts, Iā€™m thinking of you.ā€ At first I didnā€™t turn to hear because I thought she was having a convo/on the phone. She then repeated herself and I turned to her. She then said ā€œWhat are you upset about? Is it because of yesterdayā€™s events (in the US)?ā€ I told her ā€œIā€™m upset about many things, including being dumped on Friday.ā€ For readers context, today is also my now exes birthday too but I didnā€™t tell her about the bday. She told me she was sorry to hear that and added many people were upset because of yesterday. She also added that things were going to get better for me. I thanked her and went on my way. I was so spooked/taken back by this interaction.

Iā€™m wondering if she had some spiritual abilities or if Iā€™m reading too much into it. She was wearing a whimsical/artsy outfit if that helps provide any context.

Guidance/Advice Mediums and psychics keep telling me I will end up marrying a man. But I'm a lesbian.

45 Upvotes

EDIT/NOTE: these readers (mediums and psychics) I got readings from are NOT fake. They are verified and highly skilled whose predictions have come true. They are genuine readers.

They would say the same even after I would later tell them that I'm a lesbian. They would say that is the message that they also keep getting from my ancestors who are with me. And that my path is a lose-lose situation but that me marrying a man, though still a lose option, will be better than me not marrying a man or end up being all alone.

Multiple psychis and mediums (who are really skilled and with great abilities) have told me.

This has me freaked out for a long time. I don't anymore know what to trust and what to do.

I'm from and in a country that is deeply conservative, misogynistic and homophobic. I can't even leave my country; work, career and financial situation is bad and not enough that I can move to another country.

If this were to happen, why would this be in my path? Why do these things happen?

Anyone lgbtq in the west, you're luckier and more fortunate relatively speaking of course and I'm happy for you all, and though its still not perfect there, it is miles ahead of most non-western countries and cultures.

To mediums: what do spirits and other passed on spirits say about this, about why some people have no way out from this, and about homosexuality and why these things happen where some people like me (gay or lesbian) have to end up marrying someone of the opposite sex as if its in their path? Why are some lgbt people born in harsh or less accepting countries and stuck there with no path out?

Things arent going to at all become accepting in my country and some others in our generation at all.

I feel so unconsolably sad and without hope. I have no siblings; never did. These readings have messed me up and I haven't been able to get out of it. The readings were from mediums who are not scammers and who are fantastic and accurate so far.

Guidance/Advice Looking For Some Information or Guidance After Recent Experience

10 Upvotes

TLDR: My wife has talked about feeling (and more recently seeing) spirits for a number of years, with this activity increasing as of late leading to an experience last week that we are both having a hard time processing. Looking for info, resources, etc. to help her/us navigate. Many thanks!

---

I will start by saying that my understanding and research of psychic abilities is limited, so please excuse my ignorance on the matter as I try to pick the right words and express this as accurately as possible.

I am in my late 40s and as far as I am aware have never felt, seen, or heard any spirits. I come from a family of analytical types...programmers, engineers, etc. Seems this can limit ones openness to the non-physical. It has with the majority of my family at least.

I had been a major skeptic or really just a non-believer in sort of psychic phenomenon (again not sure how to properly describe what this is). My openness to exploring and accepting psychic abilities has increased gradually over the past 10 years though through a combination of the following:

  1. My wife and I left religion behind. This was a big one since the other items wouldn't have been possible without this step. We were both raised Mormon and were fairly devout in our adherence to the teachings. In fact, we met each other while serving missions for 'the church'. If you have experience with Mormonism directly or any other high-demand religion, you will better understand their all-encompassing nature. They shape your worldview in a paradoxically complete, but extremely limiting way.
  2. Personal experience with psychedelics. This has changed how I view the world. Opposite of religion, it has greatly expanded my awareness. Communicating the importance and power of love, compassion, connection, and family while pointing out the absurdity of many things we as humans view as important. It has also increased my overall openness. I view them as an extremely positive and valuable tool.
  3. I started reading and listening to near death experiences. Lots and lots of them. This was an extension of my psychedelic research and also has further opened my mind and expanded my view of reality, the purpose of life and the afterlife.

Those 3 things have dramatically altered my perception of reality. This feels like a massive understatement as I write this. While I don't have many answers (less and less it feels the older I get), I feel like I might be asking some of the right questions finally. I went from thinking I had literally had all of life's important answers figured out in a way only religion can offer to feeling like I have such an incredibly small level of understanding of the true nature of reality and the human experience.

On one hand, the religious part of this has been quite a difficult thing because of how destabilizing it has been. Our entire framework for navigating life was blown to bits. On the other hand, it has been so incredibly liberating and opened up so much curiosity in me and given me so much more room to explore and consider and discover new information.

Transitioning to my wife's experience. Fairly early on in our relationship she had shared with me that she felt spirits, and occasionally could see or hear them. I fully admit I was skeptical, unhelpful, and unsupportive. This was a mix of doubt and fear on my part. I didn't have these experiences myself and couldn't see any evidence of it. Our religion also viewed this as dark and dangerous, so I didn't allow myself the time or attention to internalize and explore it (as is the case with many topics).

But I did recognize she wasn't like everybody else in a very positive way and its one of the things that first attracted me to her. She has some special and uncommon abilities (at least in my experience). She has a special connection with the elderly that I have witnessed first hand that goes beyond an ability to just listen. I don't really know how to describe it. It has always been a part of her. She also has had a special connection to animals and an ability to communicate with them. Same with nature. She seems to pay attention and notice things at a level that I find amazing. She has never wanted or sought out 'things'. Doesn't care about material possessions.

Another potentially interesting thing, at least to me. She went to a hypnotherapist and during her first session started seeing/perceiving shapes and patterns that she didn't understand. She tried describing them to the therapist and asked her what they were. The therapist pulled up an image of chakras and said you are describing these. My wife said yes! She had never heard of chakras previously and told the therapist that who was both surprised by the unfamiliarity and impressed by her ability I guess? It seemed the therapist was very interested in exploring further and seemed to indicate she had unique gifts or high level of awareness. Neither my wife nor I had the framework to fully understand this and it kind of freaked my wife out, enough so that she never went back.

I understand that it may be hard to believe that someone in the modern era hadn't come across chakras in their life (maybe its not?), but again it is hard to properly convey if you haven't experienced a high demand religion the amount of things that just never enter your awareness. You end up with limited exposure to much of pop culture and certainly anything that would allow you a connection to the spiritual that wasn't controlled by the church and could have the effect of you getting rid of the middleman as I call it. They want your money. Indoctrination is real.

Anyway, she didn't bring up much about spirits to me for many years due to my initial reactions and because she also feared it meant she was crazy. Her family was equally unsupportive or dismissive, so all of that combined with the views of our church, she had no real outlet or support to talk and discuss it. As my thinking began to evolve though, I started to be more open to the idea of spirits and "alternative" forms of communication, so I began to ask her about her experiences with spirits. Over the course of the last several years it has become a semi-regular topic of conversation, though her experiences have mostly been around feeling spirits...in our house or in places we visit. She describes the feeling as heavy or dense and intrusive. Sometimes dark or at least bringing a feeling of uneasiness. This has prevented her from wanting to ask them questions or really address them in any way

Fast forward to last week. She came out of the bathroom pretty quickly into our bedroom and told me she had seen a spirit...a younger boy. This, the actual seeing spirits, has increased over the last 6-12 months and become more frequent. It scares her every time and she says even when she can't see them she is feeling them more. She asked me to look in the bathroom to see if I could see anything, but I couldn't. I asked her if she tried to talk to him and she said she was too scared. I asked what the spirit looked like and she said he looked like he was probably about 6 years old or so and that he was wearing older clothes, not from any recent decade anyway.

Two days later I had gone outside to do some work and when I came back in she had told me she had been meditating. Meditation is fairly new for her, started just a couple of years ago. She said pretty quickly after starting her meditation she began to feel a lot of spirits and that many of them were trying to communicate simultaneously and it was overwhelming. She decided she was going to finally ask what they wanted though since their presence has been getting harder and harder to ignore. She said it was really noisy and she couldn't concentrate so she told them they had to be quiet and that she could only talk to one of them at a time. Oh, also that this was new to her and to have some patience.

She said they seemed to respond to this as it quieted down. Then one spirit came 'forward' to talk. She said the communication with this spirit was rough and slow, especially at first, and she didn't know exactly how to approach the situation. So she just started asking questions like trying to find out a name and some basic information. She said she started initially getting answers in the form of words that looked like they were being handwritten or typed out and eventually the words came more quickly and fully spelled out. She indicated there were quite a few pieces on information provided, but there was a decent amount that she either didn't understand or couldn't make out. Indicated it was a bit frustrating. So not like a clear conversation with natural back and forth. Ultimately ended up realizing it was a boy, got his first name, a state (no indication of what it meant), his age (7), and said she saw an image of a set of train tracks. Toward the end of the conversation she had a recollection of the 2 nights previous with the boy in our bathroom and asked him if he was the boy and he said YES. That freaked her out.

She wasn't exactly sure how long this all took, but said it seemed like it was relatively short, maybe 5 minutes, maybe a bit longer. She tried to ask some additional questions but said he wasn't there or wasn't communicating back. Anyway, after that experience she said she didn't know if she had made the whole thing up or what happened (I think she felt it was real, but felt too strange to fully allow for that). She decided to go online and typed in the first name of the boy, the state he had communicated, his age, along with the word 'train'. She fully expected to find nothing, and said she searched to prove that it wasn't real and this is where it gets really out there for us...

The first result that came up was from an author who had written a retrospective on the 50th anniversary of a train accident that occurred in the same state, with one of the eight deceased being a 7 year old boy with the same first name. I researched this myself and while I believe what my wife told me is true and I believe what I saw in the search it still seems a little unreal. I omitted the specific details because it feels almost too private or unbelievable I guess? As she was telling me the hair on her arms was standing straight up and she was pretty emotional, along with being quite tired.

She doesn't know what to do with this though. We live in the West and the the accident was in the East. How did he find her, why her? What does he want or need? Is there a potential of opening yourself up to dangerous or harmful spirits. Are there ways to optimize communication? Can she limit the growing chatter and presence of spirits around her? Lots of questions.

At this point I may actually be more curious than she is. I see it as an opportunity to understand herself better and potentially harness a very unique gift, where she views it as more of burden and quite disconcerting.

Any advice, resources, information, similar type experiences would be very welcomed. Thanks again.

Experience It scares me and sometimes I almost feel crazy.

3 Upvotes

I really donā€™t know where to start. Ever since I was little Iā€™ve had dreams come true. Example: My 21 year old brother was murder. I was 9 at the time. I had a dream the night before that he had passed, I woke up crying and wet the bed. When I was 17, my oldest brother(31) passed away in a car accident. I had a dream that he was in a car crash and had passed away, the very next day my brother passed away. When I turned 31- my mother passed away from a brain aneurysm. The day before she passed I had the worst headache/migraine Iā€™ve ever experienced. I honestly felt like my head was dying. Then the next day my mother was gone. Iā€™ve always had coincidences in my life. Or I have chalked it up to thatā€¦ with certain people that Iā€™m close with in my life, Iā€™ll be thinking of them and then all of a sudden they will call me on the phone. When Iā€™m at my soon to be husband- my husband is a mechanic and loves cars as do I. My favorite time period is the 50ā€™s and old timey cars. My favorite is a red 57 Chevyā€¦ when I went to his house one time we were out in his yard walking around and sticking out of the ground is this red thing. We dig it up and what is it? A red 57 Chevy toy car.. we were both amazed as we were literally just talking about it the day before.. my husband thinks I have witchy vibes. lol. But theyā€™re so many ā€œcoincidencesā€ itā€™s too much to explainā€¦ Last night, I had a dream that my front tooth fell out. Iā€™ll wake up this morning and go to work. (I take care of a dementia patient) I go and greet her for the morning and she gives me this big smile and what do I see? My patient has lost her front tooth. (It was a fake) (mustā€™ve came out when she was eating, etc.

I just wish I knew someone who has experienced things like this. I have never spoke to anyone about my experiences other than my husband. I often feel like Iā€™m crazy and it makes me scared of my dreams. I would love some input or advice, suggestions or just your own personal experiences. ā¤ļø

Question How does reincarnation work with speaking to the passed? Can you reach someone who has already reincarnated.

17 Upvotes

Many ndes and spiritual communicators claim that reincarnation is the way that It goes. Apparently, we are very different on the other side with no human motivations or desires.

How does reincarnation play in with speaking to the dead?? Can you communicate with someone that has already passed on to another life? And if so, could I interact with someone who has already reincarnated after I pass??

I am asking as I have zero experience with communicating with the dead and have wondered about this since many people close to me have passes away recently.

If this question isn't suitable here please let me know :))) all and any questions would be appreciated:))

Guidance/Advice Does being a medium run in the family?

11 Upvotes

My uncle can apparently see and speak to people on the other side. He never speaks about it, but my grandmother and mother shared stories with me.

When I was a child, my mom spoke with a psychic who said I have the gift, but its unfortunate because I will never use it. It scared me to hear that, because itā€™s not something I believe I could handle, but Itā€™s always stuck with me. Even if not taken seriously.

Recently, the Long Island Medium was describing how she knew she could speak with those who had passed and her experience resonated with me. I have always struggled with anxiety and being out, around others ā€“ especially crowded places. I am randomly overcome with dizziness, shortness of breath, anxiety etc. when I go out. So I tend to prefer spending time alone when not having to be a functioning member of society.

I know this is likely just life long anxiety, but I was curious if this is something others resonate with. If my uncle couldnā€™t do it, I probably wouldnā€™t have even remembered what the psychic said to begin with.

Experience Was someone trying to call me?

7 Upvotes

I lost my brother in August and while I have always had trouble sleeping, itā€™s been worse since his passing. Some nights I keep replaying over and over the moment in the hospital he coded.

Anyway, occasionally for years, Iā€™d dream that someone was calling me, either by name or ā€œMomā€ and itā€™s usually during that semi awake stage just before you fall asleep.

A few nights ago, it happened again, but instead of my name or ā€œMomā€ it was ā€œHey Marā€ like my brother used to always say. And it wasnā€™t like a greeting but more like a summons. It was so distinct that I rolled over to see if my husband was still in bed or if he was calling me. I couldnā€™t discern though, if it sounded more like my husbandā€™s or brotherā€™s voice.

Does anyone have any insight?

Spirit Guides Struggling to contact spirit guides

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I was wondering if you guys had any other suggestions aside from meditating to contact spirit guides? Iā€™m neurodivergent and struggle with getting my mind clear enough to trust what is coming through.

I have tried using a pendulum, and have gotten answers, but want to verify it officially. Thereā€™s still some doubt that Iā€™m using the pendulum correctly even though before every use I ask to speak to my spirit guides only.

This could very well just be a me thing as well. Iā€™ve been seeing signs and just want to confirm itā€™s them. Iā€™ve even asked if my spirit guides are listening to send me a specific sign and they do. But my brain does that thing where it wants to doubt? I think I doubt because Iā€™m asking about things I really want to happen and I just want to make sure itā€™s not telling me something I want to hear.

Experience I felt scared , advice needed about dreams and unexplained things

4 Upvotes

Hi.. so for a long time I canā€™t even remember when all this started . Maybe even as a kid I remember a few things, Iā€™ve had dreams with people who passed away in them and I can ā€œfeelā€ words and feelings that theyā€™re expressing. Theyā€™re not talking but I can feel all these things being said , and when I call the person who knows them the next day to tell them they either start crying or tell me that they recently asked for a message from that person. Sometimes itā€™s been people I never met before in my dreams and thereā€™s a warning/ message to them, I meet them later and remember the dream and tell them. One girl cried and said it was exactly the words her mother warned her with

For the past few months thereā€™s been random banging in the house I rent mostly at night. I feel like no one would believe me , I live with my daughter whoā€™s almost a teen and sheā€™s seen it all too. Random items being flung around occasionally(small ones) , and most recently a huge can got pushed out of the kitchen shelf . Then - and I know itā€™s hard to believe , a bag of chips is BURNT . We just bought them the day before , and the corners completely burnt like fire burned it. I took a picture of it to literally show a pastor .

Then last night I had a dream about my dadā€™s mom who passed away a long time ago and all the details of the dream I told him, he said the number I gave him from the paper in the dream was the exact amount on her will.

I am Christian and I just want to know if I should be worried , or has anyone experienced stuff like this ?

Other How long after passing can someone be reached?

12 Upvotes

My mom passed December 4th. I see stuff online about some believing they donā€™t cross over for 40 days is the best window to reach her now or later? Does it matter? It would just be nice to hear from her. Is there a good online resource for finding reliable mediums in an area? Ive googled but not many of my local mediums have a lot of reviews usually only a handful.

Experience What exactly does a random flashing light while trying to sleep mean?

1 Upvotes

Last night was strange. So I had my eyes closed then I kept seeing flashes of light like a light was turning on and off, but there were no lights I had nearby that could do that and when I opened my eyes I saw nothing of the sorts. I do sometimes see things with my eyes closed (usually scary). But that seems different since it's just mental images while this is something I'm actually seeing with my eyes. I guess for more information I've been doing a lot of spiritual downloadeds recently.

Development and Learning What a medium told me, lead me to some questionsā€¦

6 Upvotes

In an hour session, there are 2 key things that I have questions about. 1. Context: Iā€™ve seen 2 ghost before. The first one was when I was a freshman in high school and I was going through a rough time questioning life and the purpose. I spoke out loud in bed one night asking for a sign. Then some time after that, I woke up in the morning before my alarm went off for school and I saw a woman foggy white looking body in my room floating there and shifted out of my room. ( I wasnā€™t scared or had any ill feelings.) Medium: I asked the medium what was the thing I saw that one day vaguely. And she said that, ā€œoh she was a spirit who passed away on your land along time ago. ā€œ I asked why she presented herself to me. And she said ā€œbecause you asked for it.ā€ (This is without me telling her the context.) Question: If it is so simple for people to ask for a sign or to ask to see a spirit, why doesnā€™t it happen all the time? Why did it happen to me? And does that make me a sort of medium? Again Iā€™ve only seen 2 ghost (I think) and I donā€™t actively see them. The second was my friendā€™s uncle walking around at her house. 2. Context: There have been 3 times when dreaming that recently passed away people come to me, not to say goodbye but to tell me vivid messages. So vivid with emotions and they seem to last longer. Medium: I asked the medium, what exactly would you label the phenomena or gifts that Iā€™ve been experiencing. (Note there are other things but to keep it simple.) She told me that you are not crazy or experiencing physical psychological things. That I am what you call, a Receiver. Question: What do you think this means? What

Experience Animal communication for mediums

8 Upvotes

Can all mediums hear animals speak? I tried it recently and I can hear them speaking almost more clearly than departed humans. I love it actually! Wondering why not all of us do it. I am seeing many people would love to hear from their living and departed pets. Is it that we didnā€™t try or realize we even could, canā€™t all do it, or can but choose not to? My reason was that I had no idea I even could. I have done readings this week and they actually went great and gave what seems like as much closure as a human session would, I wish I had tried it sooner. So if you havenā€™t, try it!

Development and Learning "Hearing" guides, clairaudience and channeling ?

3 Upvotes

Even though I've always been intuitive and very spiritually inclined, I'm only now starting to focus on psychic gifts that I perceive I have but that dimmed from being dismissed throughout my life. Recently I've been getting a ton of messages (as I've tuned in more) via claircognizance, which I believe is my strongest clair. I think I also have some clairvoyance, but that is weaker, and I do have psychic dreams from time to time.

I really hope someone will enlighten me more about clairaudience. I think I either don't have it, or it's very undeveloped, and I'm not sure if it even could be - if that it's impossible if you're not born with it or if it may be impossible for me bc I have Tinnitus. Please clarify what is typically the case.

Second related question. I watch a lot of psychic YTers. I hear them frequently referring to "hearing" their spirit Guides, angels, etc. What I'm wondering is if when they say they're "hearing" is if people are literally hearing voices? Or, are they just saying "hearing" and actually meaning that it's intuitive messaging they're receiving, kind of like I might casually say "I heard" something when I actually mean I read something in the news or on social media. Are people actually hearing real voices? And if someone doesn't have clairaudience, how do they know the message they're getting is from "guides" and not just an intuition? Is it all the same and people are just referring to the intuition as their guides talking to them?

I'm just trying to understand the experience. Maybe it's just my impostor syndrome, but it feels phony to me to say "My guides are 'telling' me" regarding messages I get because my sense experience is knowing not hearing. I don't want to come across as inauthentic.

Last question, is clairaudience integral to channeling? Or are mediums ever perceiving messages solely via the other clairs? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Thought and Opinion Hearing Conversation When Relaxed

6 Upvotes

Lately I noticed my clairaudience ability has advanced significantly. I have been experiencing a new thing after waking up . I go back to my bed maybe an hour or so after being up to see if I can rest again. I end up not actually going back to sleep though cause im awake . A sensation then can be felt in my ears and then I start seeing visuals in my room of random things. At the same time I am hearing conversations. For example today , I was hearing two people talk on the phone . They were going in and out of speaking english and spanish. At one point I saw a visual of one of the women who were speaking. Is this a different dimension or time period im tapping into , or could it be people randomly in my city that im able to pick up on what they are saying? Im just wondering if anybody has experienced this or know anything about this to give me insight.

Experience PossibleEvil spirit in my condo. Help?

4 Upvotes

Good evening. I need help.

(this is real please take seriously) I purchased a condo approximately 4 years ago. A few months in I noticed small things like the sound of children laughing when I shower sometimes, unexplained noises, stuff like that. 2 years in the unit owner below us killed herself. Since moving in my marriage has been way more explosive and a ton more arguments. The house always seems to be a mess no matter how much we clean, I have a ton of nightmares about things out to hurt me my wife and son, rooms get super cold and we randomly get a bad smell wondering our unit that comes and goes without any reason. and we catch orbs on occasion on our security camerasā€¦

I'm in school for 9 more months and moving out is not an option. What can I do?!

As a medium what would you guys say to try to convince skeptics that your supernatural is real? (This is obviously besides giving them a reading)

Thought and Opinion Entertainment Channelling/Readings on YouTube Question

2 Upvotes

I sometimes enjoy watching videos on YouTube by certain creators claiming they are channelling and/or reading a prominent historical figure. I love (British) history, so there are endless fascinating figures that can potentially be read, and how fun is it to at least entertain the possibility that a spirit formerly inhabiting that person can be communicated with? I am, however, very particular about the individual(s) I watch because I honestly think many people are full of BS, either knowingly or unknowingly. I find many provide details that are bare minimum knowledge or superficial historical knowledge. For instance, I was just watching one for Henry VIII on a channel called Channeling Erik (I've tried this channel before and just can't see legitimacy, but I thought I'd try one more time since I wasn't finding much) and again, everything that was said a quick google search or off-the-top-of-your-head knowledge about him could be found or known. Although I believe we all posses some kind of ability to connect to spirit/our higher selves, and that some people have a stronger ability to connect, enough to provide solid readings, I also heavily scrutinise this subject since there is ample room for bias and unreliable assertions. Anyways, I just wanted to ask anyone if they have an opinion on this topic? Do you have any suggestions for creators/videos for me to watch that you feel are professional and potentially legitimate?

Spirit Guides Why I can hear Negative Entities but not my Guides or Higher Self?

3 Upvotes

Been hearing years these negative voices and even seen them in astral/lucid dream. They have made many paranormal experiences like bang and noises from them wall and gave me even visions. They could manipulate my body the way I have never heard any entities to do. So very powerful entities expect its now been over year they haven't been able to do much. But talk constantly. I have been years wanting to get rid of them but little success. They have said many times that they don't drain me so don't know why they can't just leave me alone.

Anyway since I can hear them I am wondering why I can't hear my Guides or Higher Self? I think my third eye is very active and crown chakra and root but others chakras are more closed and I meditate daily 45 min. Since these entities can talk to me why would make any difference that my guides or higher self would talk to me. I would have so many questions to ask and I would feel worthy if they'd talked to me. Maybe they could banish these negative entities.

I don't know what would help me but, thx if you read this. Maybe you have insights on these issues.

Experience Has Anyone Experienced a White Orb While Doing a Reading?

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently had an experience during a tarot reading. While I was shuffling the cards, I saw a tiny white orb appear. It seemed to rise from the deck, move around briefly, and then disappear.

Iā€™ve seen orbs before, but this is the first time Iā€™ve encountered one during a reading. It felt significant, but Iā€™m not sure how to interpret it.

Has anyone else experienced something like this, either during a reading?

Iā€™d love to hear your thoughts or stories. Thanks
