How to Prepare for Your Mediumship Session

Creating the Right Energy for Connection, Healing, and Comfort

A mediumship session can be one of the most profound and healing experiences a person can have. Through a medium, the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds thins, allowing messages of love, validation, and reassurance to flow from those who have passed on.

Whether it’s your first time connecting with a medium or you’ve done so before, taking time to prepare yourself emotionally, mentally, and spiritually can make the experience smoother, clearer, and more meaningful.

Here’s how to prepare for your mediumship session.

1. Understand the Purpose of Mediumship

A mediumship reading is not about prediction—it’s about communication and healing. The medium serves as a bridge between the physical world and the spirit world, bringing through evidence and messages that affirm life continues after death.

Go into the session with the intention of connection, understanding, and peace, rather than expecting specific outcomes or names.

2. Come with an Open Heart and Mind

Spirit communication is a subtle process. Sometimes, the information that comes through may be symbolic, emotional, or unexpected. Approach the session with curiosity and openness. If you’re too focused on hearing a particular message or from a specific person, it can unintentionally block the natural flow of communication.

Trust that the spirits who step forward are those you most need to hear from at this time. Mediumship is not a process that can be controlled. And remember, loved ones in the spirit world can have as much need for communication and healing as the living.

3. Set a Loving Intention

Before your session, take a few quiet moments to centre yourself. You can also light a candle, hold a cherished item, or take a few deep breaths to ground yourself and invite peace and connection.

4. Bring an Object or Photo (Optional)

Some clients like to bring an item that belonged to their loved one—a photo, piece of jewellery, or small personal object. While not required, these can help you feel connected. A medium will never ask for an object as the reading could risk becoming an act of psychometry and not mediumship.

5. Be Ready to Validate and Participate

Mediumship is a two-way communication. The medium delivers what they receive, but you help the process by acknowledging when something resonates. A simple “yes,” “no,” or “I’m not sure” is enough—avoid giving extra information. This keeps the reading authentic and allows spirit to continue building the connection.

6. Manage Expectations

No medium can control which spirits come through or what they choose to say. Some messages are deeply personal; others may be lighter or symbolic. If the person you hoped for doesn’t appear immediately, trust that the session still holds meaning—spirit often works in ways that bring healing even if it’s not what we expect.

7. Allow Time to Reflect Afterward

After your session, take some quiet time to process. Mediumship readings can stir strong emotions—relief, joy, sadness, or gratitude. Journaling or sitting in silence helps you absorb and integrate the experience.

Messages may make more sense over time, so it can help to take notes or record your session (if allowed) to revisit later.

8. Care for Your Energy

Ground yourself after the session by drinking water, spending time in nature, or doing gentle breathing exercises. Connecting with spirit can raise your vibration—releasing that energy gently helps you return to your natural balance.

Final Thoughts

A mediumship session is a sacred exchange between worlds, guided by love, trust, and compassion. By preparing your heart, setting clear intentions, and approaching the experience with openness, you invite a deeper, more authentic connection with spirit.

Ultimately, the goal of mediumship is healing—a reminder that love never ends, and that our loved ones continue to walk beside us in spirit.
