When people come for a mediumship reading, many of them expect that we are going to sit down with their loved ones like we are having a cup of coffee and they can ask them questions about relationships gone bad after the funeral or where the money is. While I try to explain what to expect prior to a reading, some people just can’t resist trying to sqeeze that last piece of information out of the loved one in spirit. As the medium having contact with the spirit, it is like a jolt of negative energy when this happens, and does nothing for the continued contact, as the strength of the link is in positive emotion and love. At that point, I will end the reading as comfortably as I can for all 3 parties. Part of my job as a medium is to request a link with a loved one in spirit and hope they find me pure in heart enough to agree to work with me. I view the connection with spirit as a sacred event. And while it is the living person’s loved one, and they have an ongoing relationship, it stands to reason that the person in spirit already knows the pending questions of their loved one, and if the answers didn’t come through during the reading (because I will say everything I receive) then the spirit person has not agreed to give them, for whatever reason. And I will not press the spirit world on behalf of the living loved one. Every medium is different and there may be mediums who will do that. But for me, asking a loved one in spirit to come and communicate through me, and then they do, calls for deep gratitude and respect, and I bow to them in my heart.
