Medium Gail

A medium acts as a communication intermediary between a sitter and his or her loved ones in the spirit world.

Readings are surprising.  You may expect to hear from a certain person, but we can never predict the identities of the spirit or spirits who show up to speak to you.  It may be a deceased parent, grandparent, spouse, child, co-worker, neighbor, or love interest.  If you wish to hear from a specific person, before we meet ask the deceased to show up for your appointment.  Then, as we begin our reading, tell me their first name or their relationship to you, and I will try to connect to them.

Intent is immensely important: my intent as a medium and your intent as a sitter, so please approach your reading with positivity.  Good vibes make for good readings.

Mediumship is detective work mixed with a game of charades.   Who do we have?   What are they trying to say?  Sometimes spirits give me words and other times they simply send pictures, thoughts, or memories.  I often start by describing the visiting spirit's character and appearance, then suggest the possible relationship to you.  Periodically I will ask you to validate my impressions.  One spirit sent me the scene of the stripper's dressing room from the film "Gypsy."   My sitter was fairly conservative so I hesitated to pass along what I was seeing, but the moment that I did my client immediately came back with,  "Oh, that would be my mother."   

I will periodically pause to ask you to confirm whether you understand something that I have said by asking questions like, "Does that make sense to you?" or "Can you understand that?"  A small amount of feedback is fine.  Your voice maintains the energy of the reading.  However, do your best to avoid expanding upon my statement.  Responses like, "Yes, I can take that," or conversely "I'm not sure" or "I don't know" are ideal.  Too much talk can also sever my link with spirit and pull me back into my conscious mind.  We can chat about what made sense and what did not at the end of our reading.

Let it flow.  Spirits tend to talk about their former life in generalities and may want to avoid focusing upon something. Sometimes they talk about your relationship.  Sometimes they offer advice about your life now.  Sometimes they explain a misunderstanding or voice an opinion, but spirits are not soothsayers.  Rarely do they discuss the future.  We want a spirit to say what they came to say, but please don't hesitate to ask questions -- even if you are interrupting.  The spirit will hear you and normally answer unless they're not ready to discuss a subject.

​

Rarely does a spirit show up and not want to talk.  Thankfully that has only happened to me twice.  Once I saw a group of well groomed people in my mind's eye, but they refused to say anything.  Finally, one piped up, "We can't be doing this.  We were taught that it was wrong," at which my client said, "Oh, I'm not surprised, my grandfather was a Presbyterian minister."
