Why Do Spirits Communicate Certain Information In Mediumship Readings?

Mediumship readings are an amazing experience. It is no wonder that we may ask ourselves why do spirits communicate certain information, and leave out other additional information? How do spirits decide what is revealed in a reading and what isn’t?

Spirit Communication and My Thoughts On Why It Exists

Spirit communication in a mediumship reading is about helping the spirit world first.  The spirit world has a lot to provide in communication, and it’s often very personal to the sitter.  Have you considered that our family and friends want to reach out and communicate?  It is touching to know that our loved ones are there and they work very hard to blend with a medium.  It’s not always about the sitter here on earth, but more so, it’s about allowing our family and friends in spirit to communicate. 

Spirits love to connect and share information because of the vast knowledge about our lives on earth and what is occurring in our world. Our spirit families are highly evolved in their knowledge and abilities to communicate with a medium. 

It is my belief that through spirit communication, a medium heals two worlds, our world and their world. This is a very important concept; a medium can blend and assist with both the spirit world and our own world when it comes to healing.  Those in spirit need to communicate and provide information about their life, and loved ones on earth want to listen.

How come spirits communicate certain information?

Consider your family, your lovely ones in spirit; they are intelligent and wise. They can communicate anything. However, why is it that during a mediumship reading, some mediums can obtain significant detail while others may not? You may think that this is because the spirit is deciding what information to share and what not to share, but really the spirit communication has a lot do with the medium and their training

When spirits communicate certain information, it is because they wish to share their memories or feelings with you. This information flows when the medium is trained in all aspects of mediumship and has the awareness of the information that comes through. When a medium is trained extensively on utilizing their sensitivity and abilities in detail and understands that the relationship with the spirit world is a two-way communication, then that medium has more abilities to provide specific details and lovely memories. Spirit communicates certain information about themselves, possibly work, home life, activities, but they are more than capable of providing very detailed information to the sitter, and share amazing feelings no one would know about.

Have you witnessed a medium who can provide exact street addresses, phone numbers, license plates, or may provide the tiniest exact details that most overlook? This accurate and very detailed information comes from the training of the medium and their discussion with the spirit world.   

Discussions In Spirit Communication

There is a two-way discussion that occurs during a mediumship reading. 

Often, people who begin their training will sit and wait for information, not receiving much, and overthinking the information that has been provided to them. If a medium is having difficulties communicating, then how can a spirit provide much information? It’s likely that a new medium may not fully understand yet the beautiful exchange that happens in the two-way discussion between them and spirit.

When it comes to communication with the spirit world, I personally experience passing of thoughts and a feeling that is exchanged. There is also communication with smell, knowing, touch, and taste, but often, my readings begin with personal information about the spirit, and additional information soon flows after that.

When spirits communicate certain information, it’s the medium’s responsibility to assist with the information detailed to them. For instance, if the medium sees a kitchen, ideally the medium sends a thought to spirit asking the spirit to show additional details of the full kitchen – what was in the cupboards or on the kitchen ledge? Was the fridge empty or full? Was there a can for keeping cash? How about the cooking? Are there smells of baked goods or was it casseroles and chicken dishes?

Each of these questions can be more detailed with the spirit communication, but more importantly each one of these examples and their details will mean much more to the sitter than we often realize. For example, perhaps there was an old jar used for keeping cash, and communicating that to a sitter could invoke tears of joy at the memory. If we overlook information and do not communicate with the spirit world, we may overlook these small but mighty pieces of information that are ultimately evidence to the sitter that their loved one truly is with them.

Consider that spirit communication is similar to how we communicate on earth. When a person meets someone for the first time, do they stand by and not say a word and wait for the other to speak? When we meet another person that we have never met, we often engage in back-and-forth discussion, share information about our selves, family, our work, and life experiences. In most cases we provide good details when questioned.

This is exactly what the spirit world does when a medium sends interesting questions. This exchange and what I call being ‘nosey’ is what allows great information to reach the sitter.  However, there are times we do not engage, therefore we do not receive the information for our sitter.  This is the equivalent of meeting someone new for the first time and waiting for them to ask questions before you talk!

Blending and delivering messages is not easy…

It is up to us as the medium to obtain certain pieces of information that a spirit communicates.  However,  from my experience, it is not always easy to blend and deliver messages. Why is that?

When a medium works with the spirit world, the spirit world must work with the experiences and vocabulary that the medium has. The spirit world may not be able to convey certain information if the medium does not have the background or the vocabulary to support the reading. For instance, I may not be a the best medium for providing a reading where the spirit is trying to communicate a lot of scientific terms. That would be outside of my ability to explain!

So in this case, yes, the spirit world selects what is provided as evidence, but it is still important that the medium tries their best to accurately describe and relay correct information. It is up to our own mediumship to have that communication and be able to accurately describe the feelings and knowledge we receive from the spirit world. 

Spirit World Referrals

What is interesting is that the spirit world knows when a medium will be a good choice for a particular situation. In this way, the medium is referred in the spirit world. An amazing thing to consider!  

For instance, if a medium is particularly knowledgeable on the subjects of Parkinson’s disease, mental illness, or drug overdosing, then the medium may find that they will have a run-on of similar sittings related to these topics since spirits in the spirit world are referring the medium to each other. Certain mediums are known in the spirit world to be good conduits for accurately bring through proper information, and spirits are drawn to these mediums.

Let’s review

So, when discussing why spirits communicate certain information, consider that the spirit provides information via different senses to the medium, and it is the medium’s responsibility to develop the relationship and inquire more to be shown the full story. 

For myself, I call it being nosey. If I am nosey and interested in spirit, then the spirit will show me a great deal of information. Take for example a cash can in a kitchen.

A spirit may try to convey the significance of the can to the sitter, perhaps it was a can used for keeping cash and change, and it was red and gold and had the numbers 25 written on the side. All of these details will mean more to the sitter than to you or I, but it’s still imperative to communicate them.

What about a licence plate number on a car? If you ask the spirit world, they shall provide!   

All of this comes with training and familiarity with the two-way communication. This provides evidential information to the sitter.  

If we are not inquiring mediums, which I call being nosey mediums, we may overlook much of the beautiful information, and the sitter may never know what messages from spirit were overlooked.  

One final comment: In a reading a family member or loved one in spirit will never release private and confidential information unless the spirit wants us to know. There are many areas of our lives that are not part of what we want to disclose in a reading, and our spirit family knows this.

Have fun doing your readings and remember to enjoy the two way conversation!
