Most mediums close their eyes when they work, and most beginners assume that's how it's done. A working medium suggests, gently but firmly, that it's the wrong way to do it. Eyes-closed mediumship slows the energy down, creates a meditative state that makes the connection sluggish, and excludes the sitter from a moment that should include them.

Sitting in the power is one of the most universally promoted practices in mediumship development. Every circle teaches it. Every teacher says it's essential. A working medium quietly disagrees. The framing of it as a special state you summon before working is overdone, often counterproductive, and gets developing mediums stuck waiting for something that was always going to come through the doing instead. Here's the honest version.

Mediumship is one of the most vulnerable jobs in the world. Not vulnerable in the trendy sense, but in the actual sense. You speak before you're sure, you say things you can't vet, you let what's happening inside you be seen on the outside, often in the moments where you'd most like to hide. A working medium on the two kinds of vulnerability mediumship requires, why self-protection blocks the work, and what to expect if you keep going.

Choosing a mediumship teacher is one of the most important decisions of your development, and it's also one of the easiest to get wrong. A working medium and teacher on how to actually do this well.

A working medium on why the perfect-medium myth is doing real harm to developing mediums and reading clients alike, what working mediumship actually looks like on the inside, and what honest practice looks like instead.

Can anyone really learn mediumship, or is it a gift only some people are born with? Short answer from a working medium: yes, anyone can. The long answer is more nuanced, covering why the born-with-a-gift framing is mostly wrong, what genuinely develops mediumship (willingness, practice, persistence), what early development actually looks like, and the small number of things that might genuinely make it harder.

Waiting to feel ready before you put yourself in front of a sitter? That feeling isn't coming.
