Why Some Mediums Get Specific Messages While Others Don’t

Ever been to a mediumship demonstration where one person gets detailed, spot-on messages about Aunt Doris’s favourite biscuit tin, while another gets a vague “I feel a male energy around you”? If you’ve wondered, “Why do some mediums get specific messages while others don’t?” you’re not alone.

Spoiler alert: It’s not because one medium is secretly best friends with the spirit world. It comes down to a mix of factors, and we’re diving into them right here—with a dash of humour, of course.

1. The Medium’s Development Stage

Like any skill, mediumship has its learning curve. Some mediums are just starting out, focusing on making the connection. Others have years of experience honing their ability to not just connect, but translate spirit’s messages with clarity.

• Beginners: May focus on broad energy impressions (hence the “male figure” vibes).

• Experienced mediums: Have fine-tuned their filters to pick up on specific details.

2. The Spirit’s Communication Style

Not all spirits are expert communicators. Some are natural chatterboxes, while others are more like shy kids at a party.

• Clear communicators: Spirits who were good storytellers in life often bring that skill to the other side.

• Less communicative spirits: Might send images, feelings, or symbols that need more interpretation.

3. The Medium’s Own Filters

Every medium has a “filter”—their personal experiences, knowledge, and frame of reference. Spirit often works through these filters, which can affect the specificity of the message.

• A medium who loves sports might easily interpret messages about football.

• A medium who’s never cooked a day in their life might struggle with references to grandma’s famous casserole.

4. The Connection with the Sitter

The person receiving the message (the sitter) also plays a role. Their openness and energy can influence the flow of communication.

• Open sitters: Create a welcoming energy that helps the medium tune in more clearly.

• Closed-off sitters: Can unintentionally block or limit the flow of specific details.

5. Spirit Gives What You Need, Not Always What You Want

Sometimes, spirit prioritises emotional healing over hard facts. That’s why you might get a heartfelt message about love and forgiveness instead of the name of your childhood pet.

• Emotional messages: Focus on healing and closure.

• Evidential messages: Provide specific details to validate the connection.

6. The Medium’s Style and Confidence

Mediums have different styles:

• Detail-oriented mediums: Focus on facts, names, dates, and specific evidence.

• Emotion-focused mediums: Tune into feelings and messages from the heart.

Confidence also plays a role. A medium might receive specific details but hesitate to share them, fearing they’ll be wrong. (Spoiler: Spirit loves it when we take the risk.)

7. Spirit Has a Sense of Humour

Let’s be honest: Spirit loves to keep things interesting. They might drop random, quirky details just to prove a point.

• “I’m showing her a pink flamingo wearing sunglasses.” (Yes, this has happened. Yes, it was meaningful.)

How to Get the Most Specific Messages:

1. Stay Open: Relax your energy. The less tense you are, the easier the connection.

2. Engage (But Don’t Overshare): Nods or simple “yes/no” responses help mediums stay tuned without fishing for info.

3. Trust the Process: Even vague messages can carry deep meaning if you sit with them.

Final Thoughts:

Mediumship isn’t an exact science. It’s a blend of spirit’s communication style, the medium’s ability, and the sitter’s openness. Sometimes it’s crystal clear; other times, it’s more like charades with the afterlife.

But one thing’s for sure: Spirit always shows up. Whether through detailed evidence or heartfelt emotion, their message is simple: “We’re still here, and we love you.”
