Below I have written a list of tips for new psychic mediums for success -
In my experience, no one is nearly as judgmental to you as you think they’re going to be.
My biggest fear was ‘coming out of the closet,’ and when I did - sure, there were some people who judged, people who were already the judgmental type, but most people replied with something like,
“You know, you have always kind of talked about weird things happening in your home.”
We amp ourselves up to be rejected - or at least I did - and I need you to know that most of the time, telling people you’re a medium is a far more accepting thing.
What I find is that most people want to share with you their spiritual stories, so it ends up opening doors to exciting conversations.

Finding a romantic partner to accept you can be easy
I gather you’re probably just as interesting as me and when you find the right person, lay it all out on the table, chances are - if they are the right person - they can swallow it - and love you for it.
Remember: the right person will love you for it.
Not everyone who asks you for help needs what you think they need
They may just need the idea you represent. When you announce yourself as a psychic medium and then go on to develop a business from it, people will come from all corners of the Earth to ask you for free help.
You are one person. With one goal. With a limited amount of time.
Please remember that if someone genuinely needs your service, they will go through the appropriate channels you’ve set up to do so and they’ll be respectful about it.

It’s not your job to justify yourself to those outside the field of love, your energy field
People who haven’t opened to love yet, invite them in with boundaries.
Your presence may be just that opening. Still do not make it your sole mission to correct the skeptic, justify your work to someone, write an entire blog post directed at the one person.
Focusing on the people who not only are in direct contrast to you, but likely contrast others like you, isn’t ready to interact with you yet.
You are not required to turn anyone into a believer - it’s everyone’s own job to decide what they believe and seek out the experiences they need to accept new viewpoints.
Those new experiences may just turn them into a believer. Let the Universe work them for you. That’s what it’s there for.
Try not to work yourself up about what is and what is not happening
Developing your abilities is a magical journey and I’ll be honest - it doesn’t always make sense.
You won’t always ‘get’ what those colors mean and you won’t always totally understand what on Earth happened in that last reading. Just ride the wave.
Lookup symbolism when you feel like it, but try not to nit-pick it apart. Take it in, accept what’s happening and generally, sooner, rather than later, it will all make sense.
If you practice and open, your abilities will develop naturally on their own
Same is true for mediums. The best mediums I know are always developing and learning.
Comparing yourself to other mediums is a trap
Slow down. Stop. Don’t go to that other person’s website and become overwhelmed with all the work you need to do on your own site.
Your journey is your journey.
You have a different client base, you are serving a different audience and your message is entirely unique. Not only that - we all have different abilities and ways information comes to us.
Not getting names? Cool down, that’s more a clairaudient thing. Embrace the fact you’re seeing clairvoyant images - that’s cool too.
Private readings are not mandatory
Not all mediums give readings, just like not all counselors take individual appointments.
Some work in elementary schools, write books on counseling, sit on educational boards, develop non-profit programs, run counseling websites, teaching counseling classes, and motivationally speak in auditoriums.
Some mediums lead paranormal investigations, some use their abilities to channel books or music, others use their gifts to receive guidance on their healing services in a group.
There are many other ways to offer your gifts, which I discuss here: 4 Little Known Things You Can Do With Your Gifts Besides Readings.
What makes someone a medium is that they are able to perceive The Spirit World and they relay what they have learned from their interactions with The Spirit World to the living, in whatever avenue that manifests (not always readings) for them.
Whatever you do, do your best to represent yourself positively
You are the face of The Spirit World - the loving, kind, the compassionate and the supportive community on The Other Side. People will see you that way. Because of this, try to keep a positive face in everything that you do.
As a medium, you’re an ambassador of the ‘brand’ of Spirit and the spokesperson for all mediums - so please, keep it positive.
The longer you go on your journey of mediumship, the easier it will be to be positive, because this is the thread of the majority of the messages and over time, you will become your message.
So if it doesn’t feel easy to be positive now, know that eventually, it will feel easier and even effortless.
Most of all, relax
The world of Spirit is a new and exciting place.
You’re going to learn so much, that just by saying that, I feel like I’m dwarfing the true magnitude of how much your life could possibly change just by accepting your gifts.
Stepping into your abilities is a beautiful, transformative and potentially life-changing decision.
