r/Mediums

Sometimes I get this strange feeling when I see people completely revolve their existence around being “a girl” or “a man.”

Like everything becomes about being pretty enough, masculine enough, desirable enough, aesthetic enough, alpha enough.

And honestly, I understand why it happens. Identity makes existence feel more structured. It gives certainty in a very uncertain life. Humans want to feel seen, wanted, and like they belong somewhere.

So this is not hatred toward people at all. I see the pain and conditioning underneath it.

But still, something in me feels sad seeing humans reduce themselves to a role so deeply that they stop seeing themselves beyond it.

You are not just a girl.

You are not just a man.

Before all of that, you are a living being experiencing existence itself.

I don’t know. Maybe this sounds abstract, but it gives me this bittersweet feeling.

has anyone ever heard about the wisdom age?

its gonna be an age where the world will collectively or at least in many parts of the world people will start to look inside of them for once and that they will pause and start to live more consciously , not all at once , not by sudden magic turn , but by collectively entering the state of mind they once avoided completely.

My grandma died earlier today and we had a very complicated relationship, there were a lot of things I wanted to say to her/ask her that I never got to. Is there a possibility I could be able to communicate with her somehow now that she’s recently passed? Would it be easier to “break the veil” since it was so recent? I’m thinking of writing her a letter and burying it so that maybe she can read it wherever she is now.

Mediums do work.

I had a reading a few weeks ago and they got a lot of stuff right just from a photo, all done online no face to face meets and no giveaways from myself.

There are admittedly a lot of fakes and charlatans but there are many genuine mediums and mediumship is a real thing.

Hi all 👋

I’m asking this question in the medium sub because when I ask about Akashic in the psychic sub I don’t get many responses.

I’m reading Linda Howe’s book on learning how to access the records. I’ve always been interested in this topic and I’m finally getting around to learning how to access them. I’d like to learn to read them in order to receive guidance that can help improve my life, grow, experience its love and compassion, improve spiritually etc.

However I’ve been watching some sample akashic records readings on YouTube and the thing that gives me a bit of pause are the type of info that’s received.

“Feel into your energy”
“Trust”
“Listen to your heart”

It’s nice and all but I was hoping it could give more specific, practical info that I can actually implement. This info sounds like love and light positive affirmations.

I was drawn to Linda Howe because she doesn’t come off too woo woo and seems pretty grounded and I was hoping that would translate in her teachings.

My question is:

1. Do the records give you practical grounded guidance you can implement?

2. Would it help if I took intuitive development classes to help fill in the blanks and receive more specific info?

Thank you

Tl;dr
I’m reading about the Akashic records in hopes to learn how to access them. Do they give specific, helpful guidance or more woo woo abstract guidance?

I’m curious, in your experiences communicating with spirits (human or animal), what are some lessons, perspectives, or comforting things you’ve learned from them that you think could genuinely help people who are still living?

So in January my mom’s cancer came back and was told 6months stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. Well now she is on hospice for the last 3 weeks and the decline has been noticeable. As she went on hospice the next day I saw a shadow in my room and it touched me and I felt chills. It was 3am. Then a couple days later I felt the presence again but it was in my doorway just standing there. Again 4am. Then a week later I was putting lotion on it was 9pm and there plain as day I saw a blurry person standing looking at me from my kitchen.
Nothing happened for a while and then as my mom started to decline little things happened.. I was working out it was 4am and my music kept pausing that never happens I out loud said “ok I get it you’re here and you’re not who I thought you were who are you?!” And plain as day in front of my I saw my aunts face smile ear to ear and disappear. It was 5am.
Then yesterday I was getting all my workout stuff together it was 4am and I thought my son was awake because I saw a child in the hallway (not abnormal for him he has erratic sleep) but I looked again and it was a girl short hair I did that look 3 time till she smiled and disappeared.. I told my mom and aunt and they said “that’s Joanne our sister” my mom had a sister who died at 7 in a house fire I’ve never seen a picture of her besides her baby photo and this was a kid like 6 or 7 I saw in my hall with shoulder length hair “they said yes that’s her” and my mom smiled ..
I came with all this to say what does this mean and why am I seeing all these people if she is the one dying? My aunt said it’s because our souls are connected but I don’t see that. Another family member said I have “the gift” like their aunt ruby did (they said she read the sticks (their words not mine I don’t know what that is). Personally I don’t know all I do know is it scares me and then I feel comfort. I’ve always stayed away from these kinds of things (my daughter does tarot and I’m too scared of it ) mainly because all my life since I can remember I always felt a presence around me Stronger when I was younger but always there. Now since my mom has been sick it’s been as intense as it was when I was little.
Some one in the paranormal sub said I should cross post here so here I am

Bonjour,

Il y a quelques jours j’ai vu un esprit qui portait une carpe avec une capuche je dirais brune mais visage foncé noir mais pas trop intense sans trait de visage face à mon lit plus proche du mur. Il faisait froid je me réveille à ce moment là et je le vois. On se fixe sans parler et il disparaît. Est-ce que quelqu’un en a déjà vu un ? Quelques jours plus tard mon vieux chien est décédé dans la nuit. 😭

I have an ex who died and was very good looking and I was wondering if i will ever see his beautiful smile again?

I’ve shared my experience regarding the old auditorium at Jerome High School before, but I need to talk about what happened immediately after.

​As the tour group moved on, I had to follow them down into the basement, right next to the boiler room. If the auditorium had an "intense" energy, the basement was something else entirely. It was pitch black, and the air felt heavy with a deep, dark presence.

​My body started reacting before I even fully processed the room. My hair stood on end, I was covered in gooseflesh, and that "eerie presence" I’ve felt before was dialed up to ten. My survival instinct was screaming at me to turn around and get out of that basement.

​But then, the weirdest thing happened: my logical brain took the wheel.

​I found myself in this bizarre, involuntary tug-of-war. Part of me was terrified, I genuinely didn’t want to see anything in that dark space. I was physically recoiling from the atmosphere. But at the same time, I couldn’t stop looking. My eyes were glued to the shadows, desperately scanning, forced by some strange compulsion to observe what was there.

​It was a total "push-pull" feeling within myself, the visceral fear of the unknown fighting against the clinical curiosity of the observer. I’ve always felt I had a certain sensitivity to these things, but I’ve never felt my own biology fight against my conscious mind like that.

​Has anyone else ever felt that "push-pull" sensation when investigating a location? That feeling where your body is begging you to leave, but your brain refuses to look away? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I guess I have some kind of mediumistic abilities. I see my grand grand parents in my dreams (they act and look as if they're alive, my grand grandmother I haven't ever seen in "real" life). I have knew about that some people are gonna pass away months ago without any reason - a healthy woman whose death isn't known by most people, but I saw it, few months later the sea threw her out (I'm guessing her cervical spinal cord has been destroyed by two men then they throw her to the sea), the second one is my doctor who was nearly 34 yo when he passed away. He appeared in my dream to tell me sth significant to me and I have been feeling him near me after the passed away (without knowing he's already dead). I had also dreams as my past incarnations, especially when I was a kid I had such dreams. The other types of those dreams were like I could talk with them and my spiritual guide. With one of those incarnations - before I randomly found out that person really lived, I couldn't even imagine that. I don't want to speak abt him (really bad and recognizable person, the situations from the dreams was really true). Why have I those dreams and insights and what should I do with that? I need guidance "in the real world". I'm 21 year old man from Poland if that could be significant.

Just a general question as people have pointed out in the past I may have abilities I can possibly improve on/learn. What were your signs and experiences? Was it a feeling of ‘knowing’ or did things keep happening? Thank you!

my dad died in 2012, and he's in my dreams CONSTANTLY. it's never anything profound. he's never given me advice or a message or anything like that. he's just there. i can be dreaming about literally anything and he's there. now that i'm typing this out, i realize we usually don't talk or maybe i'll talk to him but it's like he can't hear me or he doesn't respond. i've had a few dreams where we're just together laughing. is he trying to visit me? or is this just my brain being weird? i will say i don't feel like i have a lot of unresolved grief or anything pertaining to him, so it seems weird that my brain would just be processing grief... i'm just now tapping into any psychic/medium gifts, so i'm interested to see how/if this progresses!

I’ve always been described as an empath, and strangers often talk to me even though I’m very Introverted by nature and try to avoid people lol. I have felt visited by spirits or energy or something on many occasions such as after my aunt died in Florida (I’m in Pennsylvania) I swear I felt her here for a moment. I’ve even had experiences where on several occasions I felt the energy of someone I had never met in person, we had only known of each other. This past weekend I was with my friend when her father passed away. It was the first time I’ve ever seen someone die. Since then I’ve felt his energy or presence in my periphery. These are just a few examples but I’ve always chalked it up to my imagination and ability to imagine other people’s thoughts but I wonder sometimes if it’s not really there. Sometimes I have weird coincidences at work where If I think about a random client’s name I’ll hear from them that day. How can I figure out if this is something I can tap into further? Thanks for coming to my ramble.

I know it's quite deranged to ask your family to do something in order to prove their existence after death, but I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately stemming from thoughts of death and the idea that afterlife is non existent.

I have come up with an idea to tell anyone in the family to record a video message for me and i will only open the video after they suddenly passed *knock on wood*, and I will probably find a medium to connect with one of my family member and tell me what was the message so I can later on check the message and see it for myself, then I'll be less skeptical with the whole idea. Tell me if you had done something similar to test if this whole thing is real.

Hi, I'm new here! I'm also new to being a medium, having only discovered my full abilities and really tried working with them recently (I have plenty of experience with spirits, just not to this level).

I've also recently gotten in contact with a few spirits. The thing is, one of them (she goes by Mary. She isn't sure if this is her real name or not) was murdered, and can't remember much of her past. What she does know is that her death was violent. Her reason for not passing on is that she wanted to stay and protect other victims of violence.

I'm able to catch glimpses into the past through either touching a connected object or channeling my energy (idk how I do it, it just happens. Like I said, I'm new to this). I'm able to catch a glimpse of a staircase, being pushed down it, and then being bludgeoned. The staircase and lower room are reminiscent of the mid to late 1800s, and it was her fiancé who perpetrated the crime. Another medium mentioned to me that they feel her last name might be of Scottish origin, and that she might be an older teenager.

I also know it took place in North Carolina. I've tried researching and will continue to do so (Mary only remembers a bit of her life, and she wants to know more just as much as I do, so she's consenting to research). Like I said, I'm continuing my own research, but if anyone can give any tips or help in any way at all, it's very appreciated!

Hi everyone
I wanted to come here and ask a genuine question from the heart.

Right now, I’m in a job where I truly feel like the only solution is to leave. It’s a job that has been mentally draining me for a long time. I’ve gone through burnout multiple times, and every tarot reading I’ve done for myself and that others have done for me, has brought the same answer my intuition already knew: this place hurts me and no longer aligns with my soul.

At the same time, it’s a job that gives me financial stability and comfort. And I think that’s exactly where my inner conflict is right now. Because deep down, I feel like spirituality is trying to teach me that, in this moment, money is not everything.

I’m currently going through a deep process of self discovery. I know I’m a medium, but I’ve never truly developed or worked on my mediumship. And the more I connect with myself, the more I realize that my path to happiness and purpose involves spirituality, tarot, sensitivity, energy, and healing.

I’m also graduated in physical therapy, and I strongly feel that my true purpose in this life is to heal. To use my hands, my sensitivity, my intuition, and the wisdom life has given me to help people.

What I’m asking from you is:
- advice;
- course recommendations;
- experiences from people who work with spirituality;
- how your journey started;
- whether this became your main source of income;
- and whether this is something that should be built slowly and thoughtfully, or if you simply felt the calling and went for it.

I think what I’m really trying to understand is where I should start planting my seeds, because deep down I know this is what I want to do with my life. I’m just looking for some guidance from people who may have already walked this path.

Because deep inside, I feel like this is my path. I just still don’t fully know how to deepen it, structure it, and transform this sensitivity into something concrete and aligned with my purpose. My husband also doesn’t believe that I should follow this path, he strongly believes that it’s going to bring us nothing but debt.

Thank you so much for reading this.
Wishing everyone a beautiful week ahead.

TLDR : I asked a spirit a specific question about our connection. Minutes later, my husband - who thinks spirituality is "dumb" and had no idea I was even thinking about this, provided an answer out of the blue

I have been connecting with a spirit. He was alive in the 18th century and a singer. I've also suspected for a very long time that we have some sort of soul stream connection (not literal soul-blobs, but a shared frequency)

Anyway, so I have also been doing some cartomancy with normal playing cards too.

Yesterday for reasons that would make this too long, I ended up just asking the spirit the question of whether I was him in a previous life or not, because I felt like maybe he could help me with that question. As always with cards, it was not that clear so I thought "never mind, sod this I will just be normal and go do some chores"

In the kitchen with my husband, just washing up. He has this joke that I'm a "demon" due to me being messy and getting really angry sometimes. It's not as heavy as it sounds! It's from some Japanese anime and it stuck. But it does offend me a little bit.

So I said "I'm not a demon, I'm an angel" - purely because it's the opposite

And he just said "18th century angel" out of nowhere.

He also did not know that I was deep in meditation the day before and had asked my "spirit friend" to help me deal with my husband and lend me some of his qualities because I'm not as gentle and patient as he was..

And then my husband associates in his mind me being somehow better, with the 18th century.

Additional notes

• He does know about my past life beliefs but we hadn't discussed anything about it for a while so no reason it should have been on his mind.
• He doesn't believe in past lives - he would never consciously validate any of those beliefs. He makes fun of it and thinks it is "dumb spiritual stuff"
• I have not told him that I did cartomancy and communicated with this spirit, because quite frankly I'm embarrassed lol - I've only just started believing myself that any of this is real.
• The spirit was also associated with being "angelic" in his lifetime, however my husband has not done much research on him and is not really that interested - and he does not admire the spirit and likes to make fun of him. No way does he believe that he met this person in a past life, because he doesn't believe in it at all.
• He just said it as an offhand remark, no specific tone, or a wink or anything like that. I was a bit dumbfounded and joked "haha 21st century demon hahahah" and then we carried on completely as normal

Has anyone else had a "Blind Validator" in their life give them a direct hit on something they were keeping completely secret?

I’m curious about how people distinguish between seeing spirits physically and seeing them in their mind’s eye.

If something appears in your mind but feels vivid and not controlled, what makes it different from imagination?

And for those who have experienced both, which one felt more “real” to you, and why?

My father recently passed away from cancer. It's worth noting that he was an atheist, believed that death was like before birth, and was very rational about it, as is my own atheism. However, since his passing, my beliefs have been truly shaken, and I have many questions about what happens after death, where he is, and so on.

For the first time in my life, I met an evidential medium. I have no idea how it works, what level of accuracy to expect, etc. I received some information that seemed accurate, but several were rather general, while others were quite precise but not enough to truly surprise me. I must admit I don't really know what to think. I had asked my father to participate, to tell me about certain things if he was indeed present, and it didn't happen. Does this seem normal, or should I continue my research and perhaps approach someone else eventually?
