What Is a Mediumship Reading? How Do I Prepare, And How Do I Find a Reputable Medium?
Welcome to the Tuesday Talk recap.
We come together every Tuesday to offer hints to help you align your energy with practices that keep you mindful of being or becoming the best version of yourself. We cover various topics, from mediumship readings, grief, meditation, mindfulness, spiritual growth, and more. For anyone new, this is a safe space that invites you to reconnect with your higher self. A space where no judgement is made. Your thoughts and ideas are just that; yours. There is nothing you have to prove to anyone. I just ask that you relax, open your heart and mind, and allow the words that need to be heard fall upon your heart with grace. For those returning, welcome back. I’m so glad you are here and that you continue to be here.
This week we are discussing:
What to Expect During a Mediumship Reading
How it works, how to prepare, and how to recognize an authentic connection.
There is often a quiet curiosity that brings someone to a mediumship reading…and just beneath that curiosity, a touch of uncertainty. You may wonder:
Will it feel real?
Will my loved one come through?
How do I know who to trust?
These are natural questions. Mediumship is not about performance or prediction. It is about connection, healing, and the continuation of love beyond the physical world. Let’s dig into this topic:
What a Mediumship Reading Really Is
A mediumship reading is a sacred space where communication with Spirit is gently opened. My role is to serve as a bridge, translating energy, impressions, and messages from your loved ones, guides, and angels into something you can understand and feel.
Sessions can take place in person or over Zoom, and distance does not weaken the connection. Spirit is not bound by location—only by openness and intention.
I offer:
Private one-on-one readings
Intimate group readings
Larger gallery-style events
Each experience is different, but the heart of the work remains the same: connection, validation, and healing.
How the Process Begins
Your reading begins before we ever speak. I spend time in meditation, intentionally calling forward your loved ones, guides, and angels. During this time, I may receive early impressions. For private readings I will pull a medicine card that holds meaning for you and the energy around you.
When we connect, I open the session with a clear intention. I open by creating a protected, loving space where only messages for your highest good are allowed through. I set this intention in front of you; this allows you to have knowledge of how I work. After I set the intention, I will ask if you understand and if at that time, you have questions about how your loved one comes forward, please ask. You are always welcome to bring a photo or meaningful object, but the most important thing you can bring is simply your presence and an openness to receive the message that come forward.
How Messages Are Received
Spirit does not speak in a single language; it speaks in layers. I often refer to it as spiritual charades.
Messages may come through as:
Images or mental pictures
Words or phrases
Emotions or physical sensations
Memories or symbolic impressions
I may feel how someone passed, hear a name, see a shared memory, or sense a personality trait. Each piece is offered to help identify who is coming forward and to bring through a message that carries meaning for you. This is what Evidential Mediumship is, providing specific evidence to validate the continuity of life. It is not vague or general messages.
The Importance of Evidence
This is what separates evidential mediumship from guesswork. The integrity of mediumship is to offer memories or things of value to you that allows you to know without a doubt your loved one is communicating.
Before delivering messages, I focus on providing specific details—things that help you recognize who is speaking. This may include:
Names or initials
Personal memories
Personality traits
Significant dates or connections
Relationship with you (mother, brother etc.)
How they passed
This validation matters. It grounds the experience, creating trust between you, me, and Spirit.
What You May Feel During a Reading
Every reading is different, but most people experience a blend of emotions.
You may feel:
Deep comfort or peace
Emotion or release
Surprise at what comes through
A sense of closeness that feels unmistakably real
Healing doesn’t always arrive quietly—it sometimes moves through tears, recognition, or the soft realization that love has never truly left. I’ve noticed common remarks from my clients after we have finished. They come in heavy in emotion and feel lighter after receiving a message. Readings are not a replacement for grief nor professional help if needed. They are to offer you the comfort of knowing their energy is still very much alive. They are ok and they love you.
How to Prepare for Your Reading
You don’t need to do anything complicated.
Simply:
Come with an open mind. It is ok to be a bit skeptical, that is normal.
Set an intention or quiet question. Ask your loved ones to come forward and talk to the Medium you are seeing.
Think of your loved one or invite them to step forward. You may want to bring something that belonged to them as comfort.
It’s okay to feel nervous. It can be emotional and that is sometimes hard to be prepared for, it shows up as nervousness. That energy often shifts the moment the connection begins.
How to Know if a Medium Is Authentic
Trust is important in this work, and it should be earned—not assumed. Do your research before scheduling an appointment. Ask family and friends, believe me someone you know has had a session. Look up the Medium’s name and check their reviews, website, social media accounts and if you feel called, schedule a session. All Mediums do not work the same way. You should feel comfortable with the answers you are receiving, not afraid or feel doomed. Readings are to be for your highest and best good. Also, something to note, not all of it may make sense at that movement. You may need to check with family members about some of the information received. It will make sense when it is supposed to. I’ve had several people message me afterwards that they understood something later.
An authentic medium will:
Provide specific, evidence-based information rather than vague statements
Hold clear ethical boundaries (no fear-based messages or harmful predictions)
Create a space that feels safe, respectful, and grounded
Focus on healing and connection, not performance
You should never feel pressured, judged, or manipulated. A true reading feels like recognition, not persuasion. Most Mediums will also not allow you to schedule multiple sessions close together. I usually recommend waiting a minimum of 8 months to a year before scheduling another session. There are instances that could change this, in the event of another loss or maybe you were still too deep in your grief and waiting a bit is suggested.
A Few Honest Truths About Mediumship
Not every spirit you hope for is guaranteed to come through—but the one who does is often the one with the strongest message for you in that moment. And sometimes, after the Medium receives a link, they may be able to bring in the loved one you would like to connect to.
Spirit gives what is needed, not always what is expected. It is ok to say, I don’t understand. Keep in mind, emotionally, you may not be ready. Depending on how they departed, it can be difficult to wrap your heart around some of the details. A message may not make sense right away…but will unfold in your awareness later, like a seed quietly taking root.
An Invitation Forward
If you feel called to experience a reading, trust that nudge. Connection happens when the soul is ready—not when it is forced.
Whether you are seeking comfort, clarity, or a deeper understanding of how Spirit speaks… there is always more waiting to be revealed.
You are never as alone as you may feel.
Also, know that readings are not for everyone. Please do not force someone to see a Medium. Grief is different for everyone, just trying to navigate the day be all this person is able to do at the moment. Suggest it if you feel drawn and when or if the time is right. Allow them to reach out to the Medium when they are ready.
I truly believe your loved one in spirit would want you to heal through grief to enable you to live the life you love and love the life you live.
Blessing of love and light always,
Stacey
