Mediumship and the Human Ego: Lessons from the Spirit World

Hello, beautiful souls! It’s Hannah Macintyre here, and today we’re diving into a topic that ruffles feathers faster than a spiritual chicken farm: mediumship and the human ego. Yes, even in the ethereal world of spirit communication, ego sneaks in like an uninvited guest at a party.

The Ego Isn’t the Enemy (But It’s a Bit of a Drama Queen)

Let’s start with this: ego isn’t evil. It’s part of being human. Your ego helps you form an identity, set goals, and survive awkward social situations. But in mediumship? It can get a bit... dramatic.

When the ego takes the driver’s seat, mediumship shifts from a sacred connection to a performance. Suddenly, it’s not about delivering messages from spirit; it’s about being the best, proving yourself, or avoiding mistakes at all costs. And guess what? Spirit doesn’t care about your ego’s fragile feelings.

Signs Your Ego Is Sneaking Into Your Mediumship

1. Performance Anxiety: Worrying more about “getting it right” than trusting the flow.

2. Validation Addiction: Needing constant praise to feel worthy.

3. Message Ownership: Taking credit for messages like you wrote them yourself. Spoiler: you didn’t.

4. Comparison Trap: Measuring your abilities against others, as if spirit communication is the Olympics.

What the Spirit World Teaches About Ego

The spirit world has one clear message: It’s not about you. Mediumship isn’t a talent show; it’s an act of service. Spirit doesn’t care if you’re polished, perfect, or popular. They care that you’re authentic, humble, and open.

When you’re too focused on how you look, you miss the magic. The true power comes when you step aside, let go of the need to control, and allow spirit to work through you.

How to Keep Your Ego in Check

1. Surrender to Spirit: Before every session, remind yourself: “This isn’t about me. I’m just the messenger.”

2. Embrace Mistakes: Messing up doesn’t mean you’re a bad medium. It means you’re human. Spirit loves working with humans, flaws and all.

3. Practice Gratitude: Focus on the honour of serving spirit rather than the pressure of performing.

4. Stay Curious: Approach mediumship with a learner’s mindset. There’s always more to discover.

Final Thoughts: Be the Conduit, Not the Star

Mediumship is about connection, not perfection. Your ego will pop up from time to time (because, hello, you’re human), but the key is to notice it, acknowledge it, and then gently tell it to sit down and be quiet.

So, next time you feel the pressure to “get it right,” remember: spirit doesn’t care if you’re perfect. They care that you’re present. That’s where the real magic happens.
