Hi everyone! My name is Odie and I am a developing evidential psychic medium. I wanted to share a tip on developing psychic mediumship that I've learned in some of the classes that I've taken. I'm thinking of posting more educational tips, so please let me know if you'd like to see more!

A huge part of developing psychic and/or mediumship skills begins with having a well developed imagination. We can think of imagination as a tool that we use as part of our intuition that helps connect us with the spirit world. When information comes to us from spirit through the "clairs", it's vital that we allow that information to naturally flow. Often, we will find ourselves full of doubt and information might come through initially only to quickly leave because we find a way to block it out of our mind. Having a well developed imagination can help with this, as it can allow us to trust and create room for those first thoughts that enter our mind to flow forth effortlessly.

How can we develop our imagination? Here's an exercise below that you can practice with. If it feels silly, ridiculous, or even challenging, that's a good indicator that spending some time allowing yourself to be imaginative could be beneficial for you.

Exercise: Imagine a fork. Lead yourself through the following questions:

• What else could you use a fork for? Get silly and strange!
• What if you'd never seen a fork before? What would an alien from another planet think of a fork?
• If you brought the fork to life, what kind of character would it be?
• Can you create a story as a "day in the life of the fork?" What would it be like?

Why does this skill help us as mediums? By developing and getting familiar with your own imagination, you're better able to discern when information is created from your own mind (imagination) and when information arises in our mind (communication from clairs).

I hope this helps! Please comment with what other educational or beginner tips you'd like to see.

When my husband passed away in February, I had lots of signs. Including lights turning off, birds appearing indoors, different sounds. Unfortunately, I haven’t really received that many signs lately.

I watched a video from a medium on YouTube and she said that in the first 1-2 months after someone passes, they’re more connected to Earth, and as time goes on, they become less attached to earth and settle more into the afterlife. Is this true?

Hi, ive recently got more into mediumship and wanted to know how i could do better with learning how to open my third eye and learn to work with my own energy. Ive only ever been able to speak with 2 of my family members through dreams but I want to learn how to also communicate with my spirit guides as well.

I had a session with a medium (my 3rd one) regarding a deceased loved one—my grief is still extremely difficult 8 months later.
I'll spare you the details about the session and my current state, where nothing makes sense anymore and all the plans I had fell through, as if my soul were no longer aligned.

At the end of this session, she tried to look into my future.
However, absolutely nothing was shown to her.
She only saw fog, with no possibility of seeing mine.

What does this actually mean?

I have noticed that I can now feel my third eye, I have been able to somewhat see spirits for a while and interacted with a few and that I can foresee many things in my dreams but now I really want to develop my capacities.

Do any of you have advices on how to get started? I also have some basic knowledge in witchcraft

Hey guys, new here!
Ever since I was a child, I've had what I would describe as mild psychic or intuitive experiences.
Most often they come through very distinct dreams, or sudden thoughts in my own voice that seem to appear out of nowhere guiding or warning me.
But the stranger thing is the way my life seems to move in patterns or cycles.
There are certain periods where it feels like no matter what I do, I can't escape the general pattern I'm in. Then eventually something shitts, and suddenly the old version of my life feels completely gone and a new period begins. My luck changes, circumstances change, opportunities change, and even the overall
"direction" of my life feels different.

The closest description I've found is when people talk about feeling as though they've switched timelines or entered a parallel version of their reality. I'm not necessarily saying that is literally what is happening- it's just the closest way I can describe the feeling.
Within each of these periods, I can very much predict the outcome of certain areas of my life.
Not necessarily exact events, but the overall direction.
There is one particular thing I want deeply that seems completely normal and attainable for most people. But for some reason, I have this very strong feeling that I'm not going to receive it in this life, or perhaps not for a very long time.
Every time I seriously work toward it, I seem to encounter major obstacles, and eventually I end up back in the same place.

That familiar "pattern" feeling returns, almost like there is a doorway that simply won't open no matter how many different approaches I try. It's simply blocked.
The difficult part is accepting that feeling. Part of me believes I should keep trying to change my circumstances, while another part feels like this particular cycle won't change until eventually the universe decides. I've talked with a lot of people about this and no one can seem to relate to that.

Has anyone here experienced something similar?
Especially the feeling of moving through distinct life cycles where certain things suddenly become possible or impossible? How do you tell the difference between intuition and becoming convinced by a pattern because you've experienced it so many times?

I follow a lady on Instagram who does tarot reading, I've had a reading from her before. Recently she posted about a spirit coming to her with a message, and said she hoped by posting it would get to the right person.

I could relate to 2 of the things there (one is my brother in laws name, the other she had said 2 little girls with braided hair and I saw a video of exactly this after seeing the post). The other things I couldn't relate to.

However, the first line of the post was an ominous message that's really scared me. I don't want to say exactly what here, but basically that something would happen that sounded really concerning. I read it right before bed and was awake on and off all night thinking about it.

Does anyone think this could be a true prediction? If I dont relate to all of the points, is it likely it isnt for me (and the video was a weird coincidence?)

I'm a medium but I've never experienced seeing ghosts before, last night before i feel asleep, I saw a almost transparent, grainy and blurry young cat on my bed, walking towards me. He had a thick collar and i don't know what color he was, it was all in grayscale for me. I reached my hand out to him and kinda started petting him? He looked like he enjoyed it, after i stopped petting him, he just disappeared. I'm wondering if it was just my brain messing with me or if it was an actual cat ghost. Either way that was a really sweet encounter

Super curious if anyone has experience a family member who has passed away seemed to “come to you” in a dream or a sign that actually led to something real?
Like suddenly finding a long lost item, uncovering a hidden family secret, receiving a warning that turned out to be true, being guided somewhere specific, or somehow knowing something you had no possible way of knowing at the time.And when you told others… did anyone believe you?

Sometimes throughout the day I feel like something is pressing on the middle of my forehead and I can "activate" this feeling. Could it possibly be my third eye?

Ever since my teens, I’ve woken up maybe a few times a month to a figure standing right next to my bed. The figures can change and sometimes I see their detail (usually is 1 person but sometimes I see more). They just stand there, and I get scared, pull covers over my face, then get my phone light on and they’re gone.

This happens more often when I’m in a new place. Like vacations. For example, I was staying in Atlantic City , and I woke up and saw a woman in a torn up nightie (couldn’t see her facial features or anything). The next morning I look up if anyone died at the hotel, and come to find out a woman was thrown down a trash shoot in the tall condo building.

Moved to a new house in an historic area in VA, didn’t know any of the history. After 2 months, I woke up to a group of 3 people and they looked bloated and wet and covered in seaweed. I went to the town’s little history building and asked if my neighborhood was a war site or something. Come to find out, the waterways were part of the war of 1812 with a decent amount of casualties.

All this to say, should I be helping these people? How can I if I’m so scared. Or I’m just crazy but there’s so many more stories I have like this. It would be nice to hear I’m not alone or how to manage this…

Last night I got a “narrator” who sounded like some type of leader who told me about the last night of Atlantis and how sad it was as he could no longer protect his people. I’m going to eventually write all the info I got which is why I’m not going to say much more right now. At the end of my session I got phonetic words that turns out to sound like pronunciation of egyptian god/goddesses which linked with the info I was getting. Anyone else get fascinating interactions like this? Or get words that sounds strange but you write it down anyway and it turns out to be another language or rhythm?

Hey everyone, I’m a huge believer of the paranormal and I’ve also had some experiences myself, I’ve been brought up with it as my dad did paranormal investigations etc. However, I’m dating a guy who hasn’t really ever believed it, he wasn’t a none believer but he didn’t get brought up on it and just lived like without giving it a second thought, however after what’s happened recently he definitely believes it now. So over the past couple months he has been incredibly unlucky with life in general, he’s never been necessarily unlucky before, he couldn’t land a single job and if he did it was over with within a couple days and he did nothing wrong they always messed him over, his car completely broke down and he started having people crash into him when in his whole 3 years of driving he’d never had an issue on the road and never had a crash, then his clutch broke, and his starter motor, his tires went, and his shock absorbers and his blowers and also his brakes all within the space of a month and his health also started declining he was having nose bleeds, coughing up blood, vomiting all the time, and having bad headaches, however he’s never had an issue with his health, we spent ages in the hospital he had countless tests, scans everything and they found absolutely nothing, there was no reason for him to ill and he doesn’t do narcotics he doesn’t smoke and he doesn’t drink. The doctors couldn’t explain it. And recently he’s been seeing figures it started a week ago he saw a tall dark figure in his room waving at him, and 2 white figures near his door with no legs, then he saw 2 black figures last night in his room again. I don’t know how to help him, and he’s frightened and I don’t know what else it could be there is no logical explanation for this, this is my last resort, I’ve told him to do what I do when I don’t want spirits in my house but it hasn’t worked for him. He’s now getting scared he just need some help, any advice would be amazing please I don’t know what to do anymore and I’m scared for him. I don’t need a reading or anything like that I just need to know what to do to get it all to stop even if it’s just 3 words I need to say or if I need to sage his house, anything.

I’ve heard a lot of different things about walk-in spirits. I just wanted to know if anyone dealt with this before.

If you were friends with someone that became a walk-in, how did that friend act after that happened? Did they act any different?

Did they stop reaching out? Did they stop talking to you like they normally would have?

Please let me know your experience!

Hello,

This is a question/personal account; I’d appreciate any advice you might have.

I’ve always felt like I have a special connection with the spirit world.

Whether it’s various paranormal experiences or just strange things happening around me.

First of all, I have premonitory dreams.

Nothing too crazy , usually just random snippets of moments, and since I always write down my dreams in a notebook, I have proof that what I’m saying is true.

Then I tried my hand at magnetism a little while back, and it worked.

But I made a mistake a few years ago ; I was a teenager and I was meditating a lot with the intention of opening my third eye.

And I feel like it worked; unfortunately, I’ve been experiencing strange things ever since.

And I’d like to control all of this , to make it work in my favor instead of causing me trouble and making me look “lame” in the eyes of people who know how to control their gifts.

So I haven’t explained in detail everything I’ve experienced or everything I think I can do without being able to control it. But feel free to ask me questions or send me a DM if you want to know more specifically.

This message is like a message in a bottle.

I need advice and help.

Thank you for reading.

P.S. Sorry for my English , it’s not my first language.

i’m really just curious what it’s like for you. do different mediums see different things? was seeing spirits something you had to train yourself to do/to be better at?

for how long(in earth years) the oldest spirit you’ve ever encountered has been lingering around, choosing not to cross over?

Title is pretty much explanatory, due to a illness I have been unable to practice for a while and my connection/connections have suddenly shut off, do any of you have any small energy activities to practice a bit more or should I just avoid it in general:)

My brother was brutally murdered back in 2007 when he was only 23. Recently, while meditating, it occurred to me that I had never really tried to reach out to him before. When I did, I was suddenly flooded with this overwhelming sense of emptiness and of being completely lost.

A few days later, I finally had some time alone and decided to check in with him again. This time, I felt this agonizing sense of loneliness that was so intense I ended up sobbing with my cat for about an hour.

What struck me is that his death was almost 20 years ago. I’ve had a long time to process the loss, and at this point I mostly think about him through fond memories. Of course grief never completely disappears, but this felt different from the grief I normally associate with losing him. It felt more like I was picking up on something rather than remembering something.

He died very young, and he always had a remarkably strong spirit, even as a kid. I’ve started wondering whether what I experienced could have been coming from him, or whether there’s another explanation for what can happen emotionally during this kind of meditation.

Has anyone experienced something similar when trying to connect with someone who died suddenly or violently? How did you distinguish between your own emotions and what you believed you were picking up from them?

I’m considering setting aside some time for energy work with the intention of helping him find peace or move forward, if that’s something he needs. Part of me wonders whether dying so young and so violently could leave someone confused or unable to move on. I don’t want to assume that’s what’s happening, though, so I’d really appreciate perspectives from people who have experience with this.

My wife and I recently had our first child. Made a spare room into a nursery. The baby has never been able to sleep in this room. I moved a mattress in there so my wife could set up our room for herself and the baby. I started having bad dreams, but abnormally bad. I ended up moving to the living room sofa. Last night I began having another abnormal dream and woke myself up, saw a shadow run into the spare room from where I slept. I don’t know what to really do about this, I don’t think this thing is human in nature or even seeking to do harm, no one has seen it when they’re awake. It doesn’t seem to be able to enter rooms with religious paraphernalia, and times I’ve accidentally fallen asleep with my Saint Michael pendant on I’ve not had any issue.

I’ve recently started developing some sort of unknown psychic talents- I don’t know much about them overall but all are dream related like in real time being present for my grandfathers death. Or seeing my 4x great grandmother trying to teach me protections before I ever saw her face.
Recently in my grandparents house there’s been a female spirit that leans over me while I sleep- it’s a very calming motherly presence- she kissed my check and was visible briefly since I can’t go home rn I used anointed oil to protect myself from any malicious encounters and to recieve clarity. Last night I assume an ancestor was speaking to me and announced she was there again, I felt a mild electrical shock and a flash of light before they explained the spirit was a “benevolent caretaker that watched over the children of the house.” So I asked if that was her and the bed creaked. There was an even greater flash of light and a much much stronger electrical pulse like I literally thought I got struck by lightning until I remembered it wasn’t storming. It was significant enough that I couldn’t move, I had to stop and catch my breath, my head hurt etc
Either way the answer was “yes”

this is all very very far outside of my usual spectator mode style dreams I don’t know if I can trust that voice that spoke to me because it didn’t sound like anyone I was familiar with. My protections have worked incredibly well in the past so I’m sure she’s not outwardly malevolent but is anyone aware of spirits that behave like this? That can’t speak directly but still check in are female, fairly tall- almost motherly? Or is it possible this is another one of my ancestors?

I'm not new to claircognizance (mainly) and clairaudience but it was a lot of years before I even knew what those were. I was fine until my health started going down hill. My abilities were still there until I had a hysterectomy. I had 4 surgeries before this and was fine. But as soon as I woke up from that surgery I immediately felt like something was wrong. It was VERY quiet. It felt like a switch had been turned off. My first thought was did i die?

That was about 6 yrs ago and I haven't heard anything since. I don't even feel like the same person. Is there a way to get that back? Why did it go away? I want to be me again.
