Many caregivers tend to get very emotional and are extremely impressed with the ability of an accurate psychic/medium who can gather information about caregivers, their past and present situations and also their loved ones in the Spirit World. This response to accurate evidence and the confidence building it supports, while welcome, can easily be misused or abused by an unscrupulous media outlet. The trust that a caregiver develops with their medium about spirit world issues with which the uninitiated are unfamiliar or inexperienced makes them vulnerable to statements and opinions of the psychic/medium that go beyond proper decorum and your professional experience. The model who wholeheartedly believes what the medium/psychic tells her about her future may be subject to the personal biases and self-serving statements of an unscrupulous medium.

It is true that a very competent medium can sometimes receive information about the future of the sitter from the Spirit World. However, an inexperienced or unscrupulous medium, perceiving the portrayed’s vulnerability and his willingness to believe what he says, may decide to make predictions about the portrayed’s future even though he has not received information from the Spirits. They may do this to keep the caregiver impressed with her skill. An unscrupulous medium may lie or exaggerate about what information and type of contact they are capable of making. They may even go so far as to claim that they are bonding with the caretaker’s deceased loved ones and giving the impression that they are in contact with the Spirit World.

Psychics and mediums are naturally good observers and can use that particular ability to pick up clues and glean information by observing people’s reactions and body language. In addition to observing body language and reactions, psychics and mediums can gain clues about their subjects by “tuning in” to their subjects’ aura. They may collect information about caregivers’ deceased loved ones, for example, their names, personality, shared memories, etc., without actually connecting with spirits in the spirit world. However, uninformed attendees impressed by this display would naturally assume that the psychic/medium is in contact with deceased loved ones in the spirit world.

This deception or trickery is not only unfair to the sitter, it is also detrimental to the profession and to other media.

As a medium, I am very interested in witnessing how other professional mediums work with the spirit world, and I have been fortunate to have had quite a few sessions with competent and principled mediums. However, before entering spiritualism I had several readings of some “famous psychics” and had unpleasant experiences. A devious and suspicious tactic used was that they would immediately ask questions about my life situation and from what I said they would draw conclusions about my future life. They said, for example, that I would be divorced within a year, which did not happen. One of those psychics asked me if he had an older man in the spirit world, to which I replied in the affirmative, while informing the psychic that my father-in-law is in the spirit world. The psychic went on to say that my father-in-law was in a held place because he desperately wanted to return to earth, and that he would not listen to his guides in the spirit world, something he believed in at first. weather. This type of information can cause stress rather than comfort to a caregiver and certainly defeats one of the purposes of mediumship, which is to bring comfort and healing to the bereaved.

The bottom line is that the psychic or medium is there to heal their caretakers rather than harm and mislead the vulnerable. Unfortunately, there are psychics and mediums who choose to practice an unethical form of mediumship and psychic readings, either with or without their conscious knowledge.
