Psychic vs. Medium: Understanding the Key Differences

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Wait, are psychics and mediums the same thing?" or perhaps you’ve Googled “What’s the difference between a psychic and a medium?” (only to be met with confusing answers), fear not. Grab your tea, get comfy, and let’s break this down—with a sprinkle of humour, of course.

Psychic vs. Medium: It’s All About the Connection

The short answer? All mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums. Think of it like this: every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square. Mind blown? Good. Let's dive deeper.

What Is a Psychic?

A psychic taps into energy. This can be your energy, the energy around you, objects, places, and even your cat's moody vibes (because we all know cats have opinions). Psychics pick up on:

• Past, present, and potential future events

• Emotional states

• Situations and people in your life

Psychics read the energetic “vibes” and patterns, kind of like energetic Wi-Fi. They tune into what’s going on around you, but they don’t necessarily connect with the spirit world. It’s more about the here and now, your potential, and what’s buzzing in your energy field.

What Is a Medium?

A medium does everything a psychic does (because mediums are psychics too) plus they connect with the spirit world. Mediums are like energetic translators, delivering messages from:

• Loved ones who’ve passed away

• Spirit guides

• Angels (if that’s your thing)

Whereas psychics read energy, mediums blend with spirit energy. It’s not just about picking up vibes—it’s about creating a bridge between the physical world and the spirit realm. No Wi-Fi required, just good old-fashioned spirit connection.

How to Tell the Difference:

• Psychic: Focuses on you, your life, and your energy. Think guidance about career, love, personal growth, etc.

• Medium: Focuses on messages from the spirit world. Think Aunt Doris popping in to say she’s proud of you (and yes, she saw what you did with her teapot).

Can You Be Both?

Absolutely. In fact, if someone is a medium, they’re automatically psychic. But not every psychic has the mediumship connection. It’s like being able to bake both cakes and cookies: all cookie bakers can make dough, but not all dough-makers can create the perfect chewy chocolate chip masterpiece.

Common Myths (Let’s Bust ‘Em):

• Myth: Psychics can read your mind.

• Truth: Sorry, no mind-reading here. (Although that would be handy for remembering where you left your keys.)

• Myth: Mediums talk to the dead all day, every day.

• Truth: Mediums can choose when to connect. Spirit isn’t constantly tapping them on the shoulder while they're trying to enjoy their cereal.

• Myth: You need a special gift to be psychic or a medium.

• Truth: Nope. Everyone has intuitive abilities. It’s like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets.

Which One Should You Book?

• Need guidance on life, love, career, or personal growth? Book a psychic.

• Want to connect with a loved one in spirit or receive messages from guides? Book a medium.

Some professionals (like yours truly) do both, so you can get the best of both worlds in one session.

Final Thoughts:

The psychic and mediumship world doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re connecting with spirit or just trying to figure out your next life step, it’s all about energy, intention, and trusting the process (with a healthy dash of humour).

Remember: spirit doesn’t do drama. That’s what reality TV is for.
