How to Connect with Your Loved Ones in Spirit Without a Medium

Writer: Hannah MacintyreHannah Macintyre

Losing someone you love is hard. That’s the understatement of the year. One minute, they’re here, making terrible jokes and stealing the last biscuit, and the next, they’re… well, somewhere else. But here’s the thing—they’re still with you. And, no, you don’t need a professional medium (even me!) to connect with them.

Spirit communication isn’t an exclusive VIP club. You don’t need special abilities, a crystal ball, or to sit cross-legged chanting under the full moon (unless you really want to). Your loved ones in spirit are already around you, dropping signs, whispering messages, and waiting for you to notice.

So, let’s cut through the fluff and get into some practical, no-nonsense ways to connect with them yourself.

1. Talk to Them (Yes, Out Loud)

I know, I know—talking to thin air can feel a bit ridiculous. But trust me, your loved ones can hear you. Just like when they were here, they don’t need a formal invitation to chat. You don’t have to summon them with a séance; a simple “Hi, Dad, I miss you” will do.

The key is intention. Whether you’re speaking out loud, in your head, or writing in a journal, just start the conversation. And no, you’re not going mad.

2. Pay Attention to Signs (And Stop Dismissing Them!)

Your loved ones are constantly trying to get your attention. But because they’re not exactly sending texts or showing up with a neon sign, their messages are easy to ignore.

Common signs include:

  • Songs on the radio that remind you of them

  • Finding random feathers, coins, or objects in odd places

  • Repeated numbers (hello, 11:11!)

  • Sudden memories or thoughts of them popping into your head

The trick? Stop overthinking it. If it makes you think of them, it’s them. Simple.

3. Use Your Dreams

Spirit loves to visit in dreams because—let’s be honest—it’s the only time we’re quiet enough to listen! If you’ve ever woken up feeling like you just had a proper chat with someone who’s passed, chances are, you did.

To encourage dream visits:

  • Before bed, simply ask them to come through.

  • Keep a journal by your bed to write down any dreams (even if they make no sense at first).

  • Be patient! Sometimes spirit visits take time.

4. Sit in the Quiet (Without Expecting a Ghostly Performance)

A lot of people miss spirit messages because they’re expecting something dramatic—like a full-body apparition floating through the room. But spirit communication is usually subtle.

Take a few minutes each day to sit quietly and just be. No forcing. No straining to “hear” something. Just let your mind settle and be open to whatever comes through—thoughts, feelings, warmth, or even a gentle pressure around you.

5. Use Objects to Strengthen the Connection

Holding an item that belonged to your loved one—like jewellery, a favourite mug, or even an old shirt—can create a stronger emotional and energetic link. Sometimes, just touching their things brings back memories and feelings that let you know they’re close.

6. Trust Your Gut (And Stop Dismissing What You Feel)

One of the biggest reasons people think they can’t connect with spirit is because they second-guess themselves. That little voice in your head saying “That’s just my imagination” is usually the same voice that’s stopping you from recognising real signs.

So, let’s make a deal: Trust yourself more. If you get a message, a feeling, or a knowing, don’t immediately explain it away. Your loved ones are closer than you think.

Final Thoughts

Connecting with your loved ones in spirit doesn’t have to be complicated, spooky, or reserved for “special people.” They’re already around you, sending love, guidance, and the occasional well-timed song on the radio.

The only thing stopping you from feeling their presence? You.

So, talk to them, trust the signs, and let the connection unfold. They’re still here, and they’ll always find a way to remind you of that.
