What is a psychic medium reading?
Jan 26, 2026
Hey lovebug,
I realized that I bang on about booking a reading with me in these weekly letters to you, but I haven’t really told you what the heck you’re signing up for.
Let’s break down a few things:
What does a psychic do?
A psychic is going to read your energetic field using senses beyond the main five. It is extrasensory perception (ESP) that helps the reader know things about you. Your likes and dislikes, details about your life, your personality, and often there will be indicators about events happening in your future.
What does a psychic medium do?
A psychic medium serves as a bridge connecting the sitter to other dimensional beings like loved ones who have passed over and are now spirit, but also spirit guides. The medium often delivers messages that your loved one is safe in the spirit world and provides evidence through evidential mediumship that the soul never dies.
What does a channel do?
A channeler acts a conduit or intermediary for higher dimensional beings in spirit. However, the channeler will take on the energy of the spirit working through them, often displaying changes in their tone, gestures or word usage. The channeler becomes a vessel for the spirit’s energy.
There is a bit of crossover between the three.
It’s all about where the energy comes from and where it flows.
For psychics, the energy and information is witnessed through some combination of the clairs (clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircognizance, and clairsentience) and reported to the sitter.
For psychic mediums, the energy is experienced to a certain degree in the body and then communicated to the sitter. The clairs are used but for a purpose of reaching beyond the 3D world to gain information (i.e. receiving information from loved ones in spirit or spirit guides).
For channelers, the energy inhabits the body of the reader and is communicator to a sitter (or more often to a large group of people). The channeler allows the high dimensional being to use their voice and body to deliver guidance, truths, wisdom from another plane.
Many intuitives crossover into more than one of these areas, but I’ve seen that most have their favorite work.
For example, I can do all three, but I prefer to deliver messages from spirit guides because that feels easiest and most in alignment for me at this time.
There are also different ways that each of the three groups work.
Psychics may use tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulums, runes, crystals, tea leaves, astrology, numerology and also their clairs to conduct their sessions.
Mediums often lean into their clairs as their primary tool. They connect with loved ones or spirit guides by feeling, hearing, seeing and knowing what’s coming through.
Channelers have advanced to the point of tuning into (usually) one guide (or group of guides) that works through them. Esther Hicks channeling the infinite intelligence called Abraham is an example of a channeler who returns to the same divine energy again and again.
So what kind of session is right for you?
- If you’ve got questions about your current life: your relationships, your career, your finances, big decisions – you either want to see a psychic or a psychic medium who channels your guides.
- If you want to connect with loved ones who have passed on, if you’re dealing with a lot of grief, if you’re curious about your loved ones in spirit – you want to go to a psychic medium who talks to the dead.
- If you’re looking to expand your consciousness or you want to grow or heal on another level spiritually – you want to go to a channeler or attend a channeler’s event.
People come to me because I give them information on their current situation and do some prophetic looking into their future AND we also do wild and crazy healing work on the energetic level.
Just this morning I cleared two energy vampires for a client that had been draining her of her life force for over 50 years. I MEAN. WILD STUFF.
If you haven’t booked your reading this year, I highly recommend it.
If you’re not sure which to pick, you can choose the half hour and then extend it as we reach the 30 minute mark IF I have the next 30 minutes available.
If you’d rather not risk it, book the hour. It will be chock full of actionable takeaways to expand your life.
Until next time love,
