1. Develop Your Spiritual Connection
The foundation of being a psychic medium is having a strong connection with the spiritual realm. This means learning to ‘quieten the mind‘ heighten your states of consciousnes and align with universal consciousness, the divine or God. Practices such as ‘sitting in the power‘ can help you raise your conscious awareness, connect with with the spirit world and communicating with your spirit guides or higher beings who assist you during readings. Meditation and mindfulness are also wonderful toos to keep your mind clear and tune into the spiritual world more easily.
2. Sharpen Your Intuitive Senses
Psychic mediums use their “clair” senses, which are different ways of tapping into and receiving intuitive information from the spirit world. These senses help you connect with spiritual messages in unique ways. There are 8 clair senses with the following 4 being the most common:
- Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing): Visualizing images or visions.
- Clairaudience (Clear Hearing): Hearing messages or sounds.
- Clairsentience (Clear Feeling): Sensing emotions or physical feelings.
- Claircognizance (Clear Knowing): Intuitively knowing things without clear reasons.

3. Go Beyond the Ego
To truly excel as a psychic medium, it’s important to go beyond your ego. For this we need to connect to higher states of consciousness and do shadow work to go beyond our personal desires, biases, and the need for validation when we’re working with clients. Our role as mediums is to serve as a clear channel to receive and communicate messages from the afterlife. It isn’t about our ego’s needs to understand, evaluate, or interpret nor the need for recognition or validation.
4. Manage Your Energy
Effective energy management is vital for any psychic medium. This involves learning how to protect your own energy from external influences and how to cleanse it after readings. Practices like grounding, shielding, and energy clearing help you maintain a healthy, balanced state. By managing your energy, you prevent psychic burnout and ensure that you’re always in the best condition to offer accurate and compassionate readings. Also, managing your energy is important—learning how to protect your personal energy and find ‘ways to cultivate spiritual harmony in your home‘ to prevent you from being drained.
5. Build Emotional Resilience
Emotional resilience is essential for handling the challenges that come with being a psychic medium. You’ll encounter a range of emotions, both from your clients and the spirits you communicate with, so it’s important to set strong emotional boundaries. This means being able to detach from others’ emotions and not letting them affect your well-being once the reading has ended. Additionally, being resilient helps you cope with skepticism and criticism, within this line of work. By developing emotional strength, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the ups and downs of your practice.
5. Improve Your Communication Skills
One of the most important parts of being a psychic medium is communicating the messages you receive clearly and accurately. This means interpreting what the spirits are telling you in a way that makes sense to your client. Public speaking can also be a part of this work, especially if you plan to do group readings. Plus, active listening—paying close attention to both the spirits and your client—ensures that you’re conveying the right messages.
6. Practice Self-Care
Being a psychic medium can be emotionally and energetically demanding, so it’s crucial to prioritize self-care. Regularly engaging in practices that nurture your body, mind, and spirit will help you stay balanced and healthy. Whether it’s meditation, exercise, doing a digital detox, or simply taking time to relax, self-care ensures you’re in the best possible state to perform your work. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup, so take care of yourself first.

7. Commit to Continuous Learning
The spiritual world is vast, and there’s always something new to learn. So keep exploring different spiritual practices and work on personal development to improve your mental abilities. ‘Identify your limiting beliefs‘, overcome any ‘blocks holding you back.’, and understand that sometimes your ‘mediumship can temporarily appear to get worse‘, it is all part of your development. Read books on mediumship development, sign up for courses, and seek mentorship from more experienced mediums that resonate with you and can help you grow.
8. Build Your Business Skills
To turn your mediumship into a successful career, you’ll need to develop some business skills. This includes marketing your services, managing your time effectively, and handling your finances. Building a strong online presence, whether through social media or a website, can help you reach more people and grow your practice.
9. Cultivate Patience and Trust in Timing
Success as a psychic medium doesn’t happen overnight. It requires patience and a deep trust in divine timing. Understand that your abilities will develop at their own pace, and each step of the journey is necessary for your growth. Whether you’re waiting for your intuitive senses to sharpen or for your practice to gain momentum, it’s important to remain patient and not rush the process. Trust that everything will unfold as it should, and that your spiritual path is unique to you. Cultivating patience not only helps you grow as a medium but also ensures that you’re providing the best possible service to your clients.
10. Uphold Ethical Standards
Trust is everything in the world of psychic mediums. Always respect your client’s privacy and deliver messages with compassion and integrity. It’s also crucial to avoid making predictions that could scare or harm someone. Being ethical helps build a strong reputation, which is key to long-term success.
