Evidential Medium, Author & Spiritual Teacher
.jpg)
It’s An Energy Thing is a practical guide by evidential medium Hannah Macintyre, and the eleventh book in the Mediumship Matters Mini Guides. It’s about living with your energy when you’re not working with spirit: being tired, letting go of things that have stopped working, filling every gap in your diary, dealing with other people’s energy, and being told you’ve got blocks.
Things I used to believe
There was a time when Hannah was all in. The Age of Aquarius, moving from 3D to 5D, affirmations, the law of attraction. It’s all still out there on her podcast, in her own voice.
These days, she calls the law of attraction, as it’s often taught, “the world’s biggest pyramid scheme”.
This book is about everything she changed her mind about, and where she’s landed for now. Instead of raising your vibration and protecting your aura, you’ll get a pint glass, a tennis ball with no bounce, a rucksack in Italy, and a Christmas Eve crying in Marks and Spencer.
Why I Wrote This Book
Energy is probably the word I use most in my work, and I’m not sure I’d ever properly explained what I mean by it when I’m not talking about spirit.
My other books are mostly about using your energy to work. This one is about the other bit: living with it. When you’re tired. When something you built stops working. When a friend never asks how you are.
I wanted to be honest about how much I’ve changed my mind, because I think one of the biggest problems in the spiritual world is that nobody talks about how their understanding changes. When you understand how your energy actually works, you stop treating every bad mood as a spiritual failure.

Why your energy is currency, why two free hours in your diary aren’t two free hours in you, and the pint glass that shows how full you are

How to deal with other people’s energy, and the real cost of leaving things behind

What Is It’s An Energy Thing About?
It’s An Energy Thing by Hannah Macintyre is Book 11 of the Mediumship Matters Mini Guides, a series of short, practical books on spiritual development. It’s a down-to-earth guide to everyday energy: how it affects your life, work, body and relationships outside of formal spirit work. It covers changing spiritual beliefs, a critique of the law of attraction, energetic seasons, recognising when something has run its course, energy as currency, the body’s role in energy, making space, standing in the void, other people’s energy, the cost of change, kindness without fixing, and owning both mistakes and achievements. Written in Hannah’s honest, funny style, with a small practice at the end of each chapter.
About Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah Macintyre — evidential medium, Amazon bestselling author, podcast host, and spiritual mentor. For over a decade, I’ve been supporting people to explore their sensitivity and connection with Spirit in a grounded, accessible, and deeply human way.
I don’t believe mediumship is reserved for a chosen few. I believe it is a natural capacity that many of us carry, often quietly, and that with the right understanding and encouragement, it can be developed with confidence.
My own journey was not instant or dramatic. Like many people, I doubted what I was receiving and assumed I needed certainty before I could trust it. What I learned is that mediumship is not about getting everything right. It is about listening, responding, and allowing communication with Spirit to unfold.
’ve changed my mind about a lot of what I used to teach about energy, in public. This book is where I’ve landed, for now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hannah believe in the law of attraction?
Not in the way it’s often taught. She still believes your energy and outlook affect your experience, and that being positive and grateful helps. But she believes the idea that everything that goes wrong is caused by your thoughts can be damaging, and that a lot of “manifesting” works the boring way: through effort, choices and, quite often, advertising.
What does it mean to be “out of alignment”?
Hannah’s spirit guides once told her there’s no such thing as alignment, or rather, that you can’t help but be aligned. What we call alignment is often just the energy we like being in. Seasons of rest, letting go and difficulty are part of the journey, not signs you’ve gone wrong.
How do I know when to let something go?
Hannah uses the bounce test. When you put energy into something, does anything come back, or are you supplying all the movement yourself? If you’re not sure, put it down for a while and notice how heavy it feels when you go to pick it up again.
Is this book medical advice?
No. Hannah shares her own experiences with migraines, medication and alcohol, but they’re her experience, not advice. If anything is going on with your body or mind, please see your GP.

Find Your Light, Feed Your Light
Work out what dims your light and what makes it shine brighter. Leave a bit of room in your pint glass. Let some things stop bouncing. Say “my bad”, and say “I did that”. Eat the chocolate cake.
Getting it right is optional. Just keep finding your way back to your own light.
