What to Expect (and Not Expect) from a Loved One in Spirit Reading

Hello, my spiritual adventurers! Today, we’re tackling one of the most asked (and misunderstood) questions: What should I expect from a loved one in spirit reading? If you think it’s all floating candles, dramatic gasps, and a ghostly Uncle Bob whispering lottery numbers… well, let’s have a chat, shall we?

Expect the Unexpected (No, Really)

First off, spirit doesn’t work like Amazon Prime. You can’t just place an order and expect Nan to show up next-day delivery, complete with her favourite biscuits and a message about your lost car keys. Spirit connections are beautifully unpredictable.

You might hear from the person you’re hoping for, but sometimes Auntie Marge barges in first because she’s got strong opinions (as she did in life, naturally). Spirit chooses who comes through, not me. I’m the messenger, not the manager.

It’s All About the Evidence

The heart of a good reading is evidence. You’re not just getting a vague “I see someone whose name starts with J…” No, no, no. Expect specific details—their personality, quirks, memories, the fact that Grandad always wore socks with sandals (and proudly, too).

Sometimes the evidence is weirdly random, like a mention of the time you got stuck in a hedge after one too many glasses of prosecco. Spirit loves the odd details because they’re undeniable. It’s not always profound, but it’s real.

What NOT to Expect

1. A Spiritual Ouija Board: You can’t demand specific answers like, “Did you like my wedding dress?” or “Where did you hide the family heirloom?” Spirit doesn’t do pop quizzes. They share what they feel is most meaningful.

2. Flawless Hollywood Moments: No dramatic special effects, no wind blowing through my hair as I channel the beyond. Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s funny. And yes, sometimes it’s deeply emotional. But it’s always authentic.

3. Future Predictions: Your loved ones aren’t in the spirit world taking notes on next week’s lottery numbers. They’re more concerned with your growth, healing, and reminding you that love never dies.

Managing Your Expectations

• Be Open: The more open you are, the smoother the connection. If you sit there like you’re auditioning for “Britain’s Most Sceptical Sitter,” it can create a bit of an energetic roadblock.

• No Scripts: Spirit brings through what you need, not always what you want. That might mean hearing from someone unexpected, but trust me, there’s always a reason.

• Embrace the Awkward: Sometimes spirit shares things that feel random or silly. Just go with it. The odd details often hold the deepest connections.
