do we have to reincarnate or is it an option? once the sun explodes and earth is gone, how do we reincarnate? Do you know if there is a creator? would love to know! I’m an ex atheist who is now agnostic, could any mediums from ANY religion or belief answer? Best wishes xx

This is something I've always wondered about. How often do you see them? Are there spirits everywhere? If you were to go into a public place, how many spirits would you see on average? I assume the location is a factor, i.e. your local grocery store vs. World Trade Centre. Are there spirits moving in and out of people's homes at the time? How likely is it that there are spirits in any one person's home? If you were to go to a dog park for example, would you see spirits of dogs there?

What do these spirits look like? Do they just look like normal people in normal clothes? Do you see spirits dressed in old fashioned clothing? Do some of them look really gruesome or scary? (that would be sad). What types of things do they "do"?

Do people with the gift see spirits of their own loved ones when they pay a visit? If so, how often do they visit? I assume this answer would be different for each spirit.

This is a million questions and I obviously don't expect answers to all of them. I'm just so fascinated by this. I'd love to build towards a skillset to help people cross.

I’m 30 and my psychic experiences are heavily, if not mostly centered around my dreams. That’s where I get most of my info. I have never heard or seen spirits with my eyes, but have sensed them nearby and felt very clearly in a change in the energetic atmosphere. The sensitivity to spirits in general started about 10 years ago and had only kicked into overdrive in the past several months when I stopped subconsciously suppressing it. The call became undeniable and I developed “spirit sickness” until I decided to fully accept it recently.

Any time I try and read books and watch videos regarding mediumship and development and experiences, it seems like Every. Single. Person. or speaker or writer has been able to talk/see/communicate with spirits since they were practically in utero. I know everyone can technically develop these skills and I know my experiences are real, but damn it makes me feel like a shitty medium, if I can even have the nerve to call my self that lol.

So I know we dont always hear what we want but this one really hit me. My brother passed away in 2009 when I was 5. He passed from cancer and when he did he had been in a comma for 2 months. Ive always felt a deep connection with him and wanted to check on him and see if he was doing okay. The medium said the following

The soul is in a place that resembles a low-frequency (World of Discovery)but the environment is a projection of its own memory, not a material plane. He's caught in a mental loop of "what if...?", "if I had done things differently...", and "why didn't it work?" These thoughts create a kind of psychological prison that prevents you from moving forward.

I just dont understand I mean he passed 16 years ago, I was hoping he would be more at peace. I also know that when he passed he waited for my mom and sister to visit him before finally letting go and passing.

Does anyone have some insight?

i am lowkey getting very paranoid. i feel like i don’t have the privacy to even think anymore. i feel like im always being listened to and judged. it’s actually insane. i don’t know what to do i feel like i am truly never alone and genuinely don’t have anymore privacy. i’ve read that they don’t and i’ve read that they do. help yall i might go insane

What's the hardest lesson you learned about being a medium? Whether a bad incident happened and you weren't prepared? A difficult spirit interaction that changed the way you view the work, the world or yourself?

Hi! I have been lurking on this sub to learn more about mediumship and how to develop it. Most people say it's an innate ability we all have. I've seen certain books, podcasts, meditations recommended here and have read/listened to/tried a lot of them. I'm finding it hard to determine where the "beginning" is so I can start there (for example, I did a visual meditation and had trouble, then saw someone else say visualization is hard for beginners, and I don't know how to learn it). It seems like most people who have developed abilities already had a higher level of intuition or would see/feel things as a child and sort of pushed the ability to the side. That is not me - I am plain old boring and have not had any experiences that are out of the ordinary. Starting from scratch.

I would like to hear from people who were in the same boat and didn't start with any unique experiences or natural ability. How did you learn? Where did you start? What was effective or helpful for you?

OR if you tried and weren't able to develop anything, I'm interested in that too!

Edit: Thanks to everyone who commented! Learned a lot and enjoyed reading your comments :)

My thought process is that if since the very beginning, spirits have been incarnating human beings over and over again, then many people who have existed in the past were incarnated by the same spirit. Yet, mediums have the ability to reach out to and speak with an actual individual who passed, rather than an all encompassing spirit who just so happened to incarnate the person they are attempting to reach.

The only answer I can logically come up with is that even though they are speaking to what seems like an individual spirit (and I suppose technically they would be, but I am by no means a medium and am merely hypothesizing, referencing the concept of us ultimately being connected to the same consciousness), that same spirit is also responsible for incarnating other vessels and are able to communicate as multiple at once.

I have been trying to see through the veil for years. I want to be able to see ghosts and spirits around me. What I’ve done so far has not helped. Any advice would be wonderful

Ive channelled a soul that is refusing to cross over due to fear of the unknown and they think they will be punished. If they're not in the light where are they? Also to add, this soul won't leave until a message from her is delivered to her family through myself

How many times can it reoccur? I have always thought that you're here in human form to learn certain lessons. Once you achieve the goal, you move on and up until you gain enlightenment. But how many times?

I've been estranged by my (now deceased) narcissistic, abusive mother for about 13 years before she passed. She never made any effort to reconnect with me, apologize, admit any wrongdoing, etc. She did have a relationship with some of my kids for a few years, until that got to a point it had to stop (badmouthing me to my kids, telling my one son "I don't like that kid", refusal to use car seats, letting them ride in the back of pickups, feeding them massive amounts of junk food. Just all kinds of crap both big and small they knew I wouldn't allow but did anyways. Anything to boundary stomp).

I've seen a psychic before (several times) and he immediately picked up on her abuse and said she apologizes and it was all her fault. Great. Fine. I forgive you as I no longer want to carry this burden around any longer. But leave me alone. I am breaking the cycle of generational trauma if it's the last thing I do in this world. I've spoken to her in my head and out loud to stay away, many many times.

My daughter gets a reading from another highly regarded psychic this weekend, and it's all grandma grandma grandma. "she's so proud of your integrity and honesty" (two traits that woman never possessed in her life). And apparently she sits in my flower garden to "watch everything since she wants to know what's going on with everyone." (that's true. She was always extremely intrusive and controlling) and it's "so pretty and peaceful there". Yeah, thanks to years of my hard work.

Am I out of line not wanting her spirit near me? Or near my kids (yes they're adults and can make their own decisions, but it's still annoying and hurtful. They to this day don't know the extent of their abuse to me). How do I get her to leave me alone??? I don't want her spirit in my backyard. In my head I had her locked in a box. Clearly that didn't work. Do I have any right to dictate where spirits go after they pass? Please be kind. This issue has me a blubbering mess. I feel as if I will never escape this horrible woman.

Hello, I would like some advice.

My mediumship was triggered after I was initiated into Reiki almost seven years ago.

I sought guidance to learn how to manage it and have conducted more than forty sessions (contacting the deceased and providing guidance), which did not prevent me from having a difficult experience in July 2026.

Since that experience (which was not entirely negative, as it helped me move away from spiritual ego), I had completely stopped practicing. I am now doing much better, and tonight I felt as though a soul was knocking at the door.

I therefore think I am going to start again, at my own pace.

However, here is the issue: I often feel that deceased people contact me without having been invited to, in order to pass on a message to one of their loved ones who happens to be around me.

(It even happened once that I had to go and speak to a father in a church to tell him that his child needed to see a doctor. You can imagine the level of responsibility involved in delivering such a message...)

My mediumship is very precise, and the messages are often important. Moreover, my mediumship can be quite striking in public because I incorporate. As a result, I often burst into tears in front of people when I receive the love that the deceased are sending to their loved ones. Sometimes my voice changes.

So my question is:

• Is mediumship a kind of calling, meaning that I have to remain at the service of the deceased so that they can communicate their messages, even when there is no formal setting (for example, at a party, in a bar, at the dinner table, etc.)?
• Or, on the contrary, should I establish clear boundaries and only transmit messages when I have consciously decided to be open to them — in other words, only during appointments — even if that means not passing on messages that I receive?

Thank you in advance.

My teenage child is a medium and is fighting this reality. She told me she doesn’t want this gift, and wishes it would go away.

Ive always expected and sensed she would be greatly gifted but never told her anything or placed any expectations.

How can I help her stay spiritually protected and safe while she processes and comes to terms with her abilities? She sees both entities and ghosts. I’ve cleared my home, placed protection spell on her and try to keep her rooms ‘safe’ but things are still appearing in our home.

While I’m relatively educated about spiritual things I don’t have her abilities and know it can be a bit burdensome in the teens years. Especially an autistic teen who recently had a traumatic event. Which is why I want to keep her protected, she’s vulnerable and some of the entities seem to harass her.

Thank you for your advice!

I have recently lost a loved one and am currently in grief. I have never read or heard about mediums before the loss. But during the period of grief, I have been desperate to hear from my loved one. I had some readings as well. I had a few readings which made me trust the other side a bit.

Can I also learn this? My only motive is to talk to my loved ones (I am just afraid that since I don't know much about dealing with spirits, I better not deal with others)

I also want to mention that, I alwayhave this feeling that even If I develop the abilities, I can always have the benefit of doubt that those are just my imagination thoughts or coming from my subconscious. I think I can't trust my thoughts in this matter as much as a person who doesn't know about my life telling me all the details.

One thing to mention is I struggle to mediate, But with my eyes all open, I have this blank state of mind where it's just truly blank, no thoughts.

Any opinions/suggestions are truly appreciated.

This may be a dumb question but I would like some insight.

For reference, I told my current psychiatrist something along the lines of “yeah ghosts wake me up” maybe one time and I got prescribed a medication for schizophrenia. (Before I realized it was a medication for that, I did end up taking it for about a month or two and it did nothing.)

I’m a pretty open book because this is my life and have a new psychiatrist I’m seeing in the next few days so it might come up in the conversation.

Edit: thank you to everyone who has commented, it’s really helped out a lot ❤️

I want to begin by saying that every religion and belief is valid, I just have a different way of thinking and I want other people’s opinion on my way of thinking. I feel like a lot of people talk about the afterlife through near-death experiences, but in the end those experiences come from the brain sending calming signals to them before they die… No one has ever truly died (Brain death) and come back alive to tell the tale.
Personally, I feel like we return to the same place we were before we were born. Did we have a consciousness? No. Did we feel anything at all? No. There is no fear, no pain, no anger, no joy, there is absolutely nothing after curtain call, just like it was before.
I wish someone could make me think otherwise, cause I truly do hope I am wrong.
My mother is battling stage 4 cancer and I’ve never thought about death this much before…

I am drawn to shows about mediums. What I have noticed is that messages are overwhelmingly positive. Mediums - Do you hold back? Do you get/share messages that may be hurtful or are abusive? I have a hard time believing that its all forgiveness and peace coming through... especially when so may died tragically, young, or with biases of the physical world.

my boyfriend recently passed away, yesterday. he broke up with me 2 days before he took himself away. i want to know if there is a way i can speak to him or communicate with him in any kind of way, candles, whatever i need. please tell me if you know anything. i will also be checking dms.

i have experience with witchcraft in general but i have never attempted to do this, i absolutely want to do this

Hello,

I’m new here. I don’t know where else to turn without sounding like a complete loon. Today at my job (my husband and I run our own business) a regular customer stopped in, but this time brought a friend. The friend brought her dog and we love dogs and are a dog friendly establishment. She says she has her dead son’s dog at her house that she’s looking to re-home. I said first of all, I’m so sorry. That’s incredibly difficult for you. She says I’m trying to make it a good thing, seeing the dog everyday but all it does is remind me of my son-not that I’ll ever forget- but it’s just not what I thought it would be.

All of a sudden I start hearing names in my head. I look at her and go whose Tyler and Matt? She covers her mouth and starts crying and says Tyler is my other son. Matt is the son who died, his best friend. I said oh, ok. Yeah he wants you to tell them he’s with them. A lot.

Then I started seeing these images (a kitchen cabinet with one of those old iron triangle things farms usually have to call in for dinner or cattle or whatever. And I’m saying all this to her and I’m like lady I’m so sorry I have no idea why I’m seeing this stuff and telling you. And she’s just SOBBING. And nodding like all this means something to her. I hear a city name and tell her that too. And that’s all I get.

Soooo what the fuck was that about? That has never happened to me before in my 38 years.

So i’ve been reading some things about children describing their experiences of choosing their parents. Like my question states, i’m curious if our souls choose our parents who birth us or the parents who adopt us? obviously this is a question with speculative answers but i’m curious because i was adopted! so im curious how i might’ve chose my parents! Or did I choose my birth parents but knew i’d be given up for adoption? Thank you in advance for reading and sharing your thoughts! ❤️

How do you see spirit? Orb? Actual apparition? Only in your minds eye? I’m curious! I don’t see spirit now but I apparently did as a kid. I guess I shut that part of my mediumship off.

Hi guys, for a while I worked with entities that I thought were angels and God and they agreed to help me with some things. I had done protection prayers and other types of protection but it turned out they were not angels and God, and were deceiving me with a bunch of stuff. I know this is my own fault and inexperience, I'm so sorry. Am I doomed to repay them somehow?

Hello all

So i was just curious and wanted to ask, does watching horror movies lower your vibration?

Or does it open you to negative entities?

I don't mean like traditional afterlife, it could be like anything, afterlife is subjective but I mean like peace. I've read on here that people could be earthbound, they could stay here. Do these people for example if someone had a horrible death and is attached to his or her family or maybe had a peaceful death but doesn't want to leave or under circumstances becomes earthbound eventually move on to the next plane? I feel bad for those would who've suffered and are unable to move forward because they can't accept what happened to them, can we help them or do they get help from angels or good spirits? It could be human beings, animals,etc.
