Are your own beliefs the biggest obstacles standing between you and your full potential as a medium? Or many you’re wondering why, despite your dedication and practice, your mediumship skills seem to have hit a plateau?
Limiting beliefs can really hold you back in your mediumship journey, you just need to find ways to go beyond your mind. So whether you feel ‘you’re not good enough” worry about being judged or question your intuitive abilities. You can overcome these fears and let your light shine through.
Here are 15 common limiting beliefs that all mediums experience at some point in their development.
1. I am not good enough
Many mediums often doubt themselves and their mediumistic abilities despite receiving positive feedback from clients. But by doubting our abilities we weaken the link between us and the spirit world. So focus on what you are good at, and the progress you have made in your mediumship development. Be kind to yourself and accept yourself right here and now. Then continue working on developing your gift and know that over time it will get better.
2. What if other people judge or criticize me
Are you worried about being judged or criticized for your work as a medium? Well, this could be holding you back from pursuing your career publicly. Accept that not everyone will understand or believe in your abilities. Surround yourself with a supportive community and focus on the reasons why you began this work in the first place! It was to help others find healing by bridging the connection between this world and the afterlife.
3. Maybe, I’m Just Making This Up
Mediumship is a subtle form of communication that takes time to master. Sometimes we may doubt or second-guess the information we are receiving and end up holding back during readings. But it is important that we trust what we get, even if it doesn’t make sense to us. We can’t possibly know what is right or wrong, the spirit world does. So stay true to your experience and always say what you get.
4. What if i can’t sense anything
Every single medium has at some point in their life, worried about not being able to connect or receive messages from the afterlife. This can make us feel stressed or anxious leading up to a reading and lower our vibration. But the truth is that the spirit world is always ready to communicate with their loved ones. Right before a reading, take some deep breaths to calm your mind and sit in the power to raise your energy to the spirit world.

5. I’m too young or New at mediumship
Whether you’re just starting out or have been practicing for years, you might feel like your age or experience affects your level of mediumship. But mediumship isn’t bound by age or years of experience, it’s about your connection to the Spirit World. So, just enjoy the experience and allow yourself to flourish into the best possible medium you can be.
6. I Need to Perfect my mediumship
Are you a perfectionist when it comes to mediumship? Then you may be negatively affecting your connection with the spirit world. the workings of mediumship is a delicate balance that needs to be honored not controlled. So focus your attention on the spirit person and their loved one. Don’t get stuck in your mind trying to create the perfect reading. And remember that we won’t always fully understand everything, and that is perfectly normal. Perfection isn’t the goal, it is about authenticity and spiritual connection.
7. I will never be as good as other mediums
If you find yourself comparing yourself with other mediums and putting yourself down, STOP that immediately. Focus on yourself, work on your development, and simply focus on becoming the best medium you can possibly be. Never try to be like anyone else, even if you admire them. Acknowledge and appreciate what makes you unique and allow your mediumship style to naturally unfold.
8. I’m Not Spiritual Enough
We all have the potential to communicate with the spirit world because after all, we are all spiritual beings. If you have been called to this profession it is for a reason and it may well be part of your spiritual journey. So don’t get bogged up with what makes you spiritual enough or not. If mediumship feels right to you, keep exploring it and find your own unique expression. You don’t need to fit into anyone else’s idea of what it means to be a medium nor follow their definition of spirituality.
9. I’m Too Sensitive or Not Sensitive Enough
Whether you think you are too sensitive or not sensitive enough isn’t a reflection of your mediumship. Your loved ones in spirit, don’t judge the experience, the simple want to reach and communicate with their loved ones left behind. If you feel overly emotional to the point that it affects your reading, practice grounding techniques. But if you have trouble feeling the spirit communicator, work on ‘developing your intuition‘ and start a ‘sitting in the power practice‘ to raise your state of awareness.
10. My Past abilities Define My future
If you had a rough reading, move past this, it doesn’t mean you are not a good medium. Think of it as a learning experience and an opportunity to get even better. Take time after the reading to reflect on what went well, figure out what you can improve, and keep on going. You’re on the right path!
11. I am worried of saying I am medium
While being a medium has faced some stigma, many people truly value the chance to connect with their loved ones through you. So, be proud of your work, share your inspiring stories, and help others open their hearts to the power of mediumship.
12. I Can’t Charge for My Services
Some people believe that mediums shouldn’t charge for their spiritual work. But mediumship is a profession, just like any other. Recognize that your time and skills have value, just like any other profession. Charging for your services allows you to continue your work sustainably and to invest in your own growth.

13. I can’t authentically be myself as a medium
Being a medium is about discovering the divine within you and honouring the spirit world in their communication with their loved ones on Earth. That requires you authentically be yourself and embrace every part of you. You don’t need to change to behave, act, dress or speak like others mediums. That would be a clone, how absolutely boring! Be yourself, connect to consciousness and allow spirit to guide you through your communication.
14. I am afraid of becoming famous
Most people talk about the fear of failure, but it is also possible to fear success too. Becoming a famous medium can put you in the spot light and may attract a lot of unwanted attention. But ultimately, it gives you the opportunity to help change so many more lives. If this sounds like you, forget about the future and focus on the now. Enjoy every step of the journey and trust that the spirit world has your back.
15. I’ll Never Be as Good as Famous Mediums
Trying to measure up to famous mediums can put unnecessary pressure on you and hurt your confidence. Remember, every medium has their own path, and success isn’t just about fame. Focus on your growth and the positive difference you make. Your worth isn’t defined by recognition.
