Why Mediumship is a Rollercoaster (And How to Stay Grounded Through the Ups and Downs)

Mediumship.

One minute, you’re on fire—delivering messages, getting names, feeling spirit so strongly it’s like they’re standing right next to you.

The next?

✨ Silence. ✨

Suddenly, your connection feels like dial-up internet in the early 2000s—slow, glitchy, and occasionally non-existent.

Cue panic, self-doubt, and the overwhelming urge to throw in the towel.

But here’s the thing: mediumship isn’t a straight line. It’s a bloody rollercoaster.

The highs are incredible—but the dips, plateaus, and unexpected drops? They’re part of the ride.

So, why does mediumship feel so unpredictable? And more importantly, how do you keep your feet on the ground when spirit seems to be playing hard to get?

Let’s dive in.

Why Mediumship Feels Like an Emotional Theme Park

1. Spirit Knows When You’re Getting Too Comfortable

Spirit is notorious for keeping things interesting.

When you first start developing, everything feels BIG—strong sensations, clear messages, undeniable proof.

But once you get used to that?

They change it up.

✨ The connection becomes subtler.✨ The sensations shift.✨ Your go-to method of receiving information suddenly stops working.

Not because you’ve lost your ability—but because spirit wants you to evolve.

The second you start relying on just one way of working? They take the training wheels off.

And that’s when you have two choices:❌ Panic and assume you’ve lost your gift (you haven’t).✅ Adapt and trust that this is just a new phase of development.

2. Your Energy Affects Your Connection

Here’s something they don’t tell you in the brochures:

🔹 If you’re stressed, exhausted, or emotionally drained, your mediumship will take a hit.🔹 If you’re going through big life changes, your energy might be too chaotic to hold a steady link.🔹 If you’re doubting yourself, your connection will reflect that.

Mediumship is not just about spirit—it’s about YOU.

If your energy is all over the place, your connection will be too.

This doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means you need to take care of yourself first.

3. Spirit Loves to Test Your Trust

Oh, you think you trust your connection? Let’s see about that.

Spirit will absolutely put you through a “trust test” at some point.

This looks like:🔹 Going through a quiet period where messages feel weaker.🔹 Feeling like nothing is working, even though it was fine last week.🔹 Receiving vague or abstract information, instead of crystal-clear messages.

Why?

Because trust is the foundation of mediumship.

Spirit isn’t trying to punish you—they’re training you.

They need to know:🔹 Will you keep showing up, even when it feels uncertain?🔹 Will you trust yourself, even when the information is subtle?🔹 Will you stay committed, even when you don’t get instant validation?

The mediums who succeed are the ones who keep going, even when the connection feels shaky.

How to Stay Grounded When Mediumship Feels Chaotic

1. Drop the Drama – This is Normal

First things first:

If your mediumship suddenly feels “off,” stop panicking.

❌ It doesn’t mean spirit has abandoned you.❌ It doesn’t mean you’re not meant to be a medium.❌ It doesn’t mean you’ve lost your ability.

It just means you’re growing.

The more you accept that this is part of the process, the less overwhelming it feels.

2. Take a Step Back & Reset Your Energy

If your connection is feeling weak, don’t force it.

Instead:

✅ Prioritize self-care. Sleep, hydrate, and rest your nervous system.✅ Get outside. Nature is one of the best ways to clear your energy.✅ Meditate—but without expectations. Just sit in stillness and allow yourself to recalibrate.

Your mediumship isn’t gone—it just needs a reset.

3. Shake Up Your Routine

Sometimes, your practice just needs a change of pace.

Try:🔹 A new way of working (if you always do clairvoyant readings, try automatic writing).🔹 A different environment (if you always connect indoors, try meditating outside).🔹 Taking the pressure off (go back to practicing just for fun).

Spirit might be nudging you toward a new way of working—but you won’t know unless you experiment.

4. Keep a Mediumship Journal

If you only remember one thing from this blog, let it be this:

📖 Keep a journal of your mediumship journey. 📖

Why?

Because in the middle of a rough patch, your brain will convince you that you’ve always been terrible at this.

But if you have a record of past successes, you can remind yourself that spirit always comes back.

Look for patterns:🔹 Do you always feel blocked during certain times of the year?🔹 Does your connection shift when your personal life is hectic?🔹 Have you been through this before—and come out stronger?

Seeing the bigger picture helps you ride out the low points.

5. Trust That the Ride is Worth It

Mediumship isn’t meant to be smooth sailing. It’s a constant evolution.

One day, you’ll look back on the moments you doubted yourself and laugh—because you’ll realize spirit never actually left.

They were just waiting for you to trust them, even in the silence.

And that? That’s where the real magic happens.

Final Thoughts: Enjoy the Ride

Mediumship is a rollercoaster—but you didn’t sign up for the teacups, did you?

You’re here for the full experience.

So:🎢 Expect the highs and lows.🎢 Trust the process.🎢 Stay grounded when things feel chaotic.

Because at the end of the day?

Spirit hasn’t gone anywhere. They’re just waiting for you to throw your hands in the air and enjoy the ride.
