Exploring
Techniques used by Psychic Mediums
Very few people have the gift of being
able to act as a bridge between this world
and the next. Psychic mediums who have
this ability take their responsibility
of relaying messages from the dead to
the living very seriously. Although a
psychic medium’s essential task
is to create this communication, each
one has a personal technique, and each
technique has its downside.
The
most basic technique that psychic mediums
utilize is the cold reading. It involves
incorporating methods that help the medium
to read a person who they have never met
before. Such methods may entail observing
a person’s body language and vocal
intonation, or asking a variety of broad
questions that the medium will then interpret.
Cold reading is best used by truly gifted
mediums that have the ability to attune
themselves with the spirit and flow of
another person. The downside is that an
amateur medium can fail to recognize authentic
and meaningful signs. This is not an easy
method to practice. Although many skeptics
claim that reading a person involves nothing
more than asking vague questions and then
making even more vague pronouncements,
professional mediums can gain great insight
into their subjects which can subsequently
lead to helpful advice and guidance.
When a psychic medium performs a cold
reading, they are attempting to discover
certain insights about someone they have
perhaps never met before. Similarly, the
method of warm reading involves the medium
observing and reflecting on a stranger
and then making statements about them.
To achieve this, a medium will make contact
with a paranormal for information about
the subject, and that consists of out
of the ordinary ghostly phenomena. The
information gathered from the paranormal
source is usually about something seemingly
inane such as ‘the deceased wore
a gold watch on the left hand’.
The purpose of this exercise is to reassure
the subject that contact has been made
with the dead and their spirit is still
alive all around. A potential downside
of this technique is that skeptics believe
that a medium is just guessing and that
they could possibly make a good guess.
It is also possible that the subject is
so eager to get in touch with a loved
one that he/she may fail to be honest
in the situation. This is to say, the
subject will believe that all pronouncements
truly apply to them, even though the visions
may be incorrect or slightly wrong.
Cold
and warm readings are very popular techniques
with those who want to believe that the
dead are still alive in spiritual form.
Another common technique that does not
involve readings is one that relies on
a connection between the medium and angelic
spirits. Typically, every psychic medium
has an angel and these personal angels
will help the subject better understand
life’s synchronicities and planned
coincidences. Psychic mediums will explain
to you their experiences and direct you
in recognizing your own angels. Achieving
this enlightenment will lead you to a
greater understanding of the realm of
angels and will provide you with guidance
in your life. There is a downside to this
technique, however, and many mediums do
warn that it easy to loose touch with
the present as you constantly search for
guidance from your angels. Although angelic
beings are a comforting thought, they
cannot live our lives for us. An angelic
presence can offer spiritual comfort,
but it is still the job of the living
to deal with life’s responsibilities.
There are several methods used by psychic
mediums to make contact with the dead.
Each technique practiced by a professional
and serious medium has taken time to perfect.
Although a psychic medium has the power
to greatly influence the living, a large
degree of responsibility must be accepted
by the subject before embarking on a psychic
journey. For any subject to truly benefit
from the visions of a medium, it is crucial
that the person is willing, open and always
honest. Mediums may not always be correct
in their pronouncements, but it is up
to the subject to be aware of that and
respond accordingly.
