MEDIUM GAIL

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

Readings can be surprising.  You may expect to hear from a certain person, but we cannot predict the identities of the spirits who show up to speak to you.  It may be a deceased parent, grandparent, spouse, child, co-worker, former neighbor, or former love interest.  If you wish to hear from a specific person before you and I meet, ask your deceased loved one to show up for your appointment then, as we begin our reading, tell me their first name, 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 send pictures, thoughts, or memories.  I describe our visiting spirit's character, appearance, and possible relationship to you.  Then I will ask you to validate my impressions.  Some spirits talk in pictures more than words.  One spirit sent me the scene of the stripper's dressing room from the film "Gypsy," complete with sound.   My sitter was a fairly conservative woman 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."   

Periodically I will have you confirm whether you understand what I am saying by asking questions like, "Does that make sense to you?" or "Can you understand that?"  Simple responses work best such as, "Yes, I that makes sense" or conversely "I'm not sure" or "I don't remember."

Let the conversation flow.  Spirits tend to talk about their former life in generalities, what went right and what went wrong.  Sometimes they talk about your childhood or your relationship when you knew them.  Other times they offer advice about your life now.  Spirits may want to explain a misunderstanding, send memories, or voice opinions, but spirits are not soothsayers.  They rarely discuss the future.  We want a spirit to say what they want to say, but please don't hesitate to ask me questions -- even if you are interrupting.  The spirit will hear your question and normally answer it right away unless they're not ready to admit to something -- often involving the way that they died.

​

Rarely, a spirit shows up but does not want to talk.  Thankfully that has only happened to me twice.  Once I clearly saw a lovely group of well groomed, gentle 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 dear, I'm not surprised, my grandfather was a Presbyterian minister."
