If you check in a thesaurus the descriptions of the words ‘psychic’ can also be found under ‘clairvoyant’ and ‘medium’. No wonder it can be confusing.

As a working medium I meet many people who wish to understand more about the work that I do and they too are in the process of making up their mind as to whether or not they would like to attend a development course.

Psychic awareness is present in all humans, especially the young.  This is the ‘knowing’ that grandma is going to telephone and in the next ten minutes, guess who calls you on the landline? Yes, grandma.

Psychic awareness is a natural gift, in general terms known as ‘telepathy or extra sensory perception.

This gift or awareness with training can become more developed, however it is no good thinking everything that pops in to your head is a message for someone near you.

One of the responsibilities that comes with any of the gifts that a medium or psychic has is to make sure before giving out any message, that the person the message is intended for actually wants to hear it from a friend or relative.

You might upset instead of enthral the recipient.

‘Clairvoyance’ is a different type of gift more commonly used by a medium like myself but some humans have a different style of ‘clear seeing’ – one that shows a situation or event that happens in the future or pictures scenes from the past.

A medium will use his or her gift of clairvoyance to describe items or situations and memories given to them from friends and family who have left this earth and passed over to another existence.

‘Clairaudience’ is when a medium listens to sound, such as speech, or a noise, and can pass the words that form to the person wishing to have a message.

Depending on the clarity of the message, a medium may only pick up only odd words or a sentence and not a paragraph about their life, which is sometimes expected from a person who has booked a private reading.

The clairvoyant gift that was bestowed upon me to use to help others has been with me for a long time now; too many years to mention.

I believe it is my duty to pass on any communications given to me from friends and family to a person who is sat in front of me.

However sometimes it can be a little difficult if the person who has passed from this world is having trouble communicating with me.

What worries a large percentage of my clients who reach out emotionally for a message when they arrive for their private reading is that their relative or friend is still suffering with their earthly painful illness or injury.

Let me reassure everyone that when a loved one passes over, their divine spirit exists and their physical body is shed, and the pain is gone.

As a working medium who has taken the time to help others, I have to let my clients know before they book an appointment that there are no guarantees that a friend or relative will have a message for them.

Friends and relatives do not come forward with a message just because you want a message from them.
It is important to remember that there are five senses that a working medium can draw upon to give a healing gift that is available to humans and animals.

The gift of clairvoyance (seeing) and clairaudience (listening to sound) exists in most cultures and has been used to bring peace to mind and body to many who have been in need of re-assurance.

In this fast moving world a medium in the UK and abroad will each use their gift and seize the opportunity to help others with both emotional and material problems.

The government has now introduced a new law which has to be told in verbal or written word that mediumship is not confirmed as a science and is for entertainment purposes.

Clairvoyants believe that when all babies are first born, boy or girl, they are psychic.
Most adults lose their psychic awareness and are not able to give others around them a clairvoyant message because their minds are too full of the problems of day to day life.

Some people are able to hang on to their mediumistic abilities and can often understand how and when things are going to occur in their life. Over time, these sensitive people begin to accept it as a normal ability.

A medium who helps others by giving them details in a private reading will have taken time to train with their guides to learn how to receive and give messages with empathy.

I am often asked about development classes and at times I do occasionally hold a small number of short psychic development courses for people who are interested in becoming mediums.

My aim is always to teach each trainee how to move forward with their individual skills, and I give them a number of spiritual guidelines. However, I do make sure that my ‘students’ know they have to work hard at developing these skills.

It is essential that everyone who attends any of my courses, whether it is for development of mediumship or meditation, understands that clairvoyancy can carry a real responsibility.

One of the seven laws of spiritualism is personal responsibility. A medium who has this wonderful gift is trained to be aware of their actions when entering into the lives of others who are suffering with emotional and material issues.

One of the first lessons that mediums should learn is to recognise that everything and everyone is made with energy: humans have to learn how to use their outgoing energy to develop psychic abilities.

If you think you could be a psychic, do you:

• know when the telephone is going to ring?
• dream that, for example, your aunt was going to visit you and she turns up in the next couple of days?
• read or see a working medium and want to learn more?

If you think this sounds like you and you are excited at the thought of being taught more about developing your psychic abilities, ask if you are able to commit to doing so. Will you be able to cope with people judging you?

A medium will be able to be more positive in their approach to letting you know more about your own personal helpers. Each person that visits a medium has their own guides whose job is to try and help in everyday decisions.

In a private reading a medium will give you the details of the choices available to you, but it is still up to you to decide what you feel your next decision should be.

When finding numbers to make use of the training sessions there are different levels of understanding the work entailed to earn this valuable gift.

I am about to organise the some courses that would give people who are genuinely interested in the paranormal and healing to gain insight in these works that are designed to help others on their life’s path.

Clairvoyant, psychic, healing, they are all gifts given by guides that endeavour to make life easier.

There is no quick fix, there is work to be done by both parties. It’s a balancing act in a way, using the essential vibrations and trust required to help those who are sick or in need.

Clairvoyant and psychics are all working differently with their gift, some can look beyond the present, some are more likely to give out material needs including how many children, others have a gift that heals by the way of providing proof of survival by a mediumistic private reading with verbal communication.

The extra sense of Clairvoyance has to be tuned and trained. It can give a window into the future or the past. Sometimes clients who have a private reading wonder why their siblings choose to pass on a memory and not their name, birthday or address.
The answer is simple; they expect you to know who they are and all about them. Memories are important and they love to think about the happenings in their earthly life before they passed over.

It may be that you are already aware of the higher levels of sensitivity you carry around with you; maybe it just needs training, but only you can decide if you are ready to start your journey.

A medium’s gift has to be cultivated to receive messages that would prove existence of life after death when a relative or friend is wanting to help out with emotional and financial issues.

Mediums can help a person who has booked in for a private reading to understand they have to move on and deal with the pain of losing someone they love. The help given can bring back a full night’s sleep, and heal some of the inner conflicts that the death of a loved one can bring.

I perceive my aim is to be good enough to pass details on as they are given.

Some mediums use the tarot as a way of tuning in psychically to help a person who has been left bewildered by life itself, and can not see a way forward and therefore needs some type of encouragement.

Reading the Tarot is great for the material problems that require direction, after all having back a level of inner confidence in dealing with daily problems emotionally and financially leads to a happier life.

A tarot reading can help a person to see they have to start clearing out the old negative ways and re-establishing new ones.

There is the difference between fortune telling and foretelling. a gypsy may be considered a fortune teller, but mediums are foretelling. However, in both cases you are in charge of your life and you are the only one who makes the decisions on how to live it.

1.    What is a clairvoyant?

The word Clair- which is at the forefront of the words clairvoyant, clairsentient and clairaudient, is French terminology that means ‘seeing clearly’.

A person who is a clairvoyant will be able to relate what he or she sees. Some clairvoyants ‘see’ a movie scene as you would in a film, other clairvoyants will see objects or picture negatives and some are able to describe the figures of people who have passed on. Although clairvoyant is the adjective most commonly used, many mediums are actually clairaudient or clairsentient and these other gifts involve a different style of communication.

2.    What happens at a private reading?

When expecting a person to come for a reading, a medium will take time to settle quietly with no rushing around. This helps them to concentrate on any message to be given that will need relaying to a ‘sitter’.

If possible a medium will have meditated asking their helpers (or guides as some people prefer to call them) to come forward. It is necessary to focus to pick up what is being given accurately; the exact wording should be correct as even one word different could lose the precise meaning of the message for the sitter.

When a reading is complete, drinking a cool glass of water will help a medium to clear away his or her client’s energy.

3.    Can my friend be at the private reading with me?

The reading given by a medium can easily become congested when two or more people are involved as the energies that are transmitted can be mixed up and entangled. This destroys a medium’s concentration and the sitter would feel they have not had a true reading. In addition, most people have their own private matters that they would prefer to remain private.
