21 Signs You're A Medium
Updated 2024.12.06
As I started developing my gifts and sharing them with the world, lots of people thought I needed to be committed. Truth be told, I'd almost convinced myself of that, too, at the time.
But I soon realized that something more was going on.
After all, if you're an otherwise rational human being in all other areas of your life, why would you be changing only in this one way?
After years of validation and feedback, it's confirmed: what I got is an ability, and you may have one too.
Since then, I’ve met many people with abilities just like me, but were convinced by friends, family, media, and insecurity that they had a problem, rather than a gift, so I wrote what you're reading now.
If you're reading this - I want you to know you may not be going through a negative change, you may have a spiritual gift.
Experiences happen whether you're under stress or not, and regardless of how many mindful solutions you try.
No matter how many variables you change, you find yourself right back to square one.
Sound familiar? Mediums are normal, and they are really just big empaths. But with one teeny-eensy catch: they pick up on feelings, emotions, and impressions from the living and from the dead, The Spirit World, and Angels.
You don't have to be a professional medium to sense the presence of Spirit; anyone can have this ability and best of all you can develop it to use it professionally if you ever choose.
There are two types of mediumship onset - one onset later in life, and one early on. It’s just a matter of when we open to it.
Are you opening to mediumship now? What follows is a list of mediumship signs that commonly present themselves when you have the gift of connecting with Spirits. When combined with 15 or more signs, they could be signs of mediumship ability.

Thankfully, there are perks, different kinds, and different ways you can use the gift. Mediums are good at reading the energy of a room, artistic creations, and can be very energetic.
You may find it helpful to know that what you are experiencing is fairly common, and you aren't alone.
Lots of people from all over the political, religious, age, class, race, industry spectrum have pulled me aside to talk about their connection to Spirit.
It's something that’s been discussed for thousands of years, though because of past persecution, it had gone underground for a couple hundred years amongst certain groups.
Thankfully, today, this conversation around mediumship is getting better as more and more people come out of the closet.
A lot of entirely well-rounded people can see, feel, and hear through the veil from time-to-time.
Though it's true: it's not always easy to get used to at first, but over time, trust me - it grows on you.
The beauty of this gift is that you don't necessarily need to do anything with it besides embrace it, develop it to the point where you’re aware of it, and then let it enrich your life in whatever way you want it to.
Many find the most alarming part of unearthing your psychic gifts is not knowing when they are turning on, so how can you tell when it's happening?
How can you tell if your gifts are opening up?
Sudden spiritual awareness coming to you
You’ve had a sensitive stomach in the past
You can lose your breath in moments of awe
