The Biggest Mistakes People Make When Attending a Mediumship Reading

Hello, beautiful souls! It’s Hannah Macintyre here, and today we're diving into the topic that might save your next mediumship reading from becoming an awkward spiritual speed bump: the biggest mistakes people make when attending a mediumship reading.

1. Expecting Specific People (a.k.a. Demanding Uncle Bob on Speed Dial)

One of the biggest misconceptions is expecting a specific spirit to come through. It’s like showing up to a surprise party and being disappointed because your favourite cousin isn’t there. Spirit communication isn’t a vending machine; you can’t just press B4 and get Grandma.

Spirits come forward based on who has the strongest connection, who can communicate clearly, and who has a message you need to hear. Trust the process—you might be surprised by who shows up (and why).

2. Holding Back Information (Thinking You’re on a Game Show)

Listen, it’s not a test. Mediums aren’t competing for points. If we say, “I’m sensing an older man with a moustache and a love for gardening,” and that sounds like your grandad, just say so!

Holding back doesn’t make the reading more authentic; it just creates unnecessary tension. Validation helps the energy flow, allowing deeper connections to form.

3. Coming in with Sceptical “Prove It” Energy

Healthy scepticism? Great. Full-blown arms-crossed, “impress me” attitude? Not so much. Spirit energy is subtle, and if you’re energetically blocking it with doubt and negativity, it’s like trying to tune into a radio station with a metal wall in the way.

Stay open. You don’t have to believe everything, but a willingness to receive makes a world of difference.

4. Expecting Only Positive Messages (Spoiler: Spirit Tells It Like It Is)

We all love a good heartwarming message, but spirit isn’t here just to sprinkle fairy dust. Sometimes, they bring up things you need to address—growth, healing, even that argument you had with your sister.

Don’t dismiss a message just because it’s not wrapped in glitter. Often, the most meaningful connections come from the real, raw, honest stuff.

5. Treating Mediums Like Magic 8 Balls

“Will I get the job?” “Is he the one?” “Should I dye my hair purple?” Mediums aren’t fortune-tellers; we’re facilitators of spirit communication.

Spirit guides might offer guidance, but they respect free will. They’re not here to make decisions for you. (And trust me, they don’t care about your hair colour.)

6. Bringing a Laundry List of Questions

It’s great to have questions, but don’t treat the session like a cosmic interview. Spirit brings through what you need, not always what you want. Let the reading flow naturally. You’ll often get answers to questions you didn’t even think to ask.

7. Comparing Mediums Like They’re Competing in the Psychic Olympics

Every medium works differently. Some are super detailed, some are more intuitive, and some might throw in a dash of humour (guilty!). If you’re constantly comparing, you’re missing the magic of the moment.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Reading

• Be Open: Let the experience unfold naturally.

• Stay Relaxed: The more comfortable you are, the easier the connection flows.

• Trust the Process: Even if it doesn’t go how you expected, there’s always a reason.

Final Thoughts

Mediumship isn’t about perfection. It’s messy, magical, emotional, and real. So, the next time you book a reading, leave the expectations at the door, bring an open heart, and let spirit do its thing. You might just be amazed by what comes through.
