Booking a follow up reading with a medium after you’ve already had a mediumship or blended reading is something that people don’t often think about. Have you ever had a reading with a medium and it went very well? Have you considered going back right away to that medium and booked a subsequent appointment almost immediately? You may think this is the best thing to do, but let me explain why it’s better to wait.
Lately, I’ve had a number of inquiries from people wanting to come back to see me shortly after their initial reading. They likely experienced a beautiful reading with evidential mediumship and felt the spirit of their loved ones with them. It is in these feelings of sitting with spirit and hearing spirit’s messages that people often find joy and healing.
It makes sense then that when we feel the healing from those in the spirit world, we often want additional time to uplift our own spirit, feel connected to our family and friends who have passed to spirit, and heal our grief.
So what is wrong with booking a follow up reading with a medium again so soon after just seeing them? Well, in theory there is nothing wrong with seeing a medium again! However, what is important to know is that similar information could possibly come through the medium on your second visit if it’s close to the first.
The Primary Concern When Booking A Follow Up Reading Too Soon
If you have a reading too close to the first one, you may hear about the same life, same activities and same information a second time. This creates a possibility that the medium may get hung up on the evidence, trying to determine if they have already given the evidence in the past reading. This interruptive thought process takes the medium away from the spirit world. Therefore the medium has moved from the higher consciousness mind – “soul mind” – to the conscious mind, thus interrupting their connection.
This is because during a reading, the medium uses their higher consciousness, or soul mind, for the evidential mediumship to flow. However, if a medium has previously felt or known the information from beforehand, the medium will often move from the higher consciousness mind, or soul mind, back to the conscious mind.
The conscious mind is never correct though; it’s just guessing and using logic to try to provide a reading. If you stay with the higher consciousness soul mind, this is where the accuracy and the details come from.
If I happen to have a client booking a follow up reading too soon, I may be utilizing the conscious mind and the past information too much, or I may stay completely with the spirit world and have a wonderful reading! It really depends, but I will say that the chances of me staying with the spirit world decrease if I’ve already given the same client a reading very recently.
What other concerns are there?
The other concern with booking a follow up reading too soon is that the client may develop a codependent relationship with the medium. This is difficult on the medium due to the high expectation and also the probability of the conscious mind doing the reading, instead of the soul mind.
Lastly, another concern with receiving back-to-back readings is that we often receive profound or life-altering information in readings, so by having another reading right away, a client hasn’t given themselves sufficient time to process the information, work with it, heal with it, and whatever else they made need to do with the information. Although receiving back-to-back readings seems intuitive and logical, it may actually do a disservice to the client who is receiving them.
Information from a reading can be so valuable and must be given ample time to be processed by the client. In summary, all of this is to say that when booking a follow up reading, if you’ve already had a mediumship or blended reading, I highly recommend clients wait around 6 months before seeing the same medium again, so as to ensure new information is coming through and they’ve had time to process the old information, and that the medium is in a fresh place for communicating.
