The chakra system is such an important aspect of intuitive development, and you may have even wondered if chakras help with mediumship and psychic readings.
Interestingly enough, although mediumship involves communicating with spirits or entities from the spiritual realm and building energy, it is not directly related to or dependent upon the chakra system. However, some spiritual practices may involve working with the chakras in order to enhance psychic or intuitive abilities, which can include mediumship.
For myself, I believe that our chakra system (our energy centres) has a relationship with our mediumship. For an example, if our Root Chakra is not strong and we are not feeling confident in who we are, our mediumship can be shaky and we may doubt ourselves when conducting a reading. Or if our throat chakra is not optimal, a medium will have difficulties communicating with the sitter and/or family in the spirit world.
Our Chakra system, while not directly related to mediumship and psychic work, does have a hand in the development of a medium or psychic. I recommend learning about the energy centres and how they will support you and your spiritual development. Mediumship is working with various energy sources after all, and one source that we can turn to is the chakra system.

The Importance of Chakras
Overall, the chakra system is very important for understanding our energy, especially when we are feeling depleted in one area. Chakras can be used to facilitate intuitive and mediumship development, but they are not wholly necessary for conducting a mediumship or psychic reading itself. However, I encourage you to dig deeper into chakras and learn how to connect with them in order to build up your energy.
