Why Multiple Spirits Can Feel Confusing

The episode begins with a listener question about accidentally blending with multiple spirits during a reading.

Hannah explains that spirit communication can sometimes feel confusing because mediums are not “calling spirits in” from somewhere else.

Instead:

• spirit is already present

• consciousness already exists around us

• mediumship involves tuning in energetically

• multiple spirit connections may already exist within that energetic space

The episode explores:

• multiple spirit links

• spirit communication

• energetic blending

• mediumship development

• soul connection

• evidential readings

Using a skyscraper and elevator analogy, Hannah explains how the medium’s job is often less about “finding spirit” and more about identifying which spirit connection is strongest and most relevant.

It’s a really practical way of understanding the mediumship process.

How Hannah Knows There Are Two Spirits Present

One of the most useful sections of the episode centres around how Hannah personally identifies whether multiple spirits are actually blending simultaneously.

The episode explores:

• energetic awareness

• spirit positioning

• directional blending

• psychic perception

• evidential mediumship

• energetic control

Hannah explains that spirit typically blends from a very specific energetic direction for her during private readings.

If a sitter claims there are multiple spirits present, Hannah mentally attempts to separate the energies:

• one spirit to the right

• one spirit to the left

If she cannot feel distinct energetic separation, she assumes she is still only working with one spirit.

Honestly, it’s one of the clearest practical explanations of managing multiple spirit links on the podcast.

Why Some Mediums Accidentally Confuse Spirits

Another fascinating discussion centres around why some mediums unintentionally create confusing readings.

The episode explores:

• unclear evidential mediumship

• vague readings

• spirit team confusion

• weak blending

• poor mediumship training

• sitter uncertainty

Hannah explains that if mediums continually allow:

• multiple possible identities

• broad connections

• overlapping evidence

the sitter may begin attaching different pieces of evidence to entirely different people in spirit.

This creates:

• uncertainty

• weaker evidence

• emotional confusion

• unclear blending

Rather than stronger mediumship.

It’s a really important conversation around structure and clarity in evidential work.

Controlling Your Own Energy Field

One of the strongest teaching points throughout the episode is that mediumship control is ultimately about:

• your own energy

• your own focus

• your own intention

Not controlling spirit.

The episode explores:

• energetic intention

• mediumship confidence

• focus in spirit work

• psychic control

• blending with spirit

• spiritual boundaries

Hannah repeatedly reminds listeners that spirit itself is intelligent and does not need human instruction.

Instead, setting intentions such as:

“I only want to work with one spirit at a time”

helps direct the medium’s own energy field.

It’s a subtle but hugely important distinction.

If you’re developing your own connection with spirit, Hannah also explores many of these foundational mediumship concepts in her Mediumship Matters Made Simple book series.

Psychic vs Evidential Mediumship

Another huge theme throughout the episode is the difference between psychic frequency and evidential mediumship.

Hannah explains that every mediumship connection actually begins psychically before deepening into evidential spirit communication.

The episode explores:

• psychic readings

• evidential mediumship

• energetic flow

• surrender

• spirit blending

• intuitive development

Her explanation is brilliantly simple:

Psychic frequency:

• seeking

• reaching

• searching

• asking

• directing energy outward

Evidential mediumship:

• receiving

• allowing

• surrendering

• information arriving naturally

• spirit leading the process

Hannah describes psychic energy as:

“The arrow moving out from you.”

Whereas evidential mediumship feels like:

“The arrow moving into you.”

Honestly, it’s one of the clearest explanations of psychic versus mediumship states featured on the podcast.

Why Questions Can Actually Help at the Beginning

One particularly useful insight is Hannah encouraging developing mediums to start with structured spirit questions.

Rather than sitting in complete overwhelm waiting for random information, she recommends beginning with specific evidential areas such as:

• relationship

• personality

• age

• passing

• emotional characteristics

• family dynamics

The episode explores:

• mediumship structure

• confidence building

• psychic focus

• spirit evidence

• development circles

• strengthening your blend

Hannah explains that structure helps narrow the energetic focus and creates more confidence during early development.

It’s incredibly practical advice for beginners.

Why Doubt Blocks Spirit Communication

Another really important conversation centres around self-doubt and resistance in mediumship.

The episode explores:

• imposter syndrome

• energetic resistance

• confidence in mediumship

• fear of failure

• surrender

• emotional blocks

Hannah explains that moments where spirit feels silent are often caused by:

• self-doubt

• overthinking

• performance pressure

• fear-based thinking

• mental resistance

rather than spirit disappearing entirely.

Her wonderfully random visualisation technique involving Juggernaut from X-Men smashing through resistance honestly makes the entire section even better.

The Difference Between Seeking and Receiving

Towards the end of the episode, Hannah returns to the central distinction between psychic work and evidential mediumship.

The episode explores:

• energetic flow

• spirit surrender

• mediumship blending

• intuitive trust

• psychic seeking

• evidential receiving

For Hannah, the key question is always:

“Am I seeking, or am I receiving?”

If the medium is:

• forcing

• searching

• pulling

• analysing

they are likely working psychically.

If information is:

• flowing naturally

• arriving effortlessly

• unfolding conversationally

• appearing before questions fully form

the medium has likely moved into a stronger evidential blend.

It’s a really intelligent and grounded explanation of something many mediums struggle to articulate.

Key Takeaways From This Episode

• Mediumship requires energetic focus and direction

• Multiple spirits can create confusion if blending lacks clarity

• Spirit does not need controlling — your own energy does

• Psychic work involves seeking while mediumship involves receiving

• Structured questions can strengthen early spirit blending

• Self-doubt often blocks energetic flow

• Evidential mediumship develops through surrender and trust
