5 Reasons Your Mediumship Practice Readings Go Wrong

from Medium in the Middle Podcast Hosted by Stephanie Kamille

We're discussing five reasons your mediumship practice readings can go wrong, and why one difficult session doesn't mean you're losing your abilities. This episode was inspired by a mentee who had five great practice sessions, then one that felt like a complete disaster. How can you have five successful sessions and then suddenly one where nothing works? Many factors influence a spiritual reading, and not all depend on the medium. I'm breaking down five common reasons your practice sessions might not go as planned, including the sitter's energy, their expectations, whether they truly want to receive a message, and the pressure they might unknowingly put on you. We also cover why practice sessions differ significantly from professional readings, and why it's important to prepare your sitter beforehand. When someone agrees to sit for a practice reading, they're there to help you learn, not to test you! I share recommendations for explaining things to your sitter, like how to provide helpful feedback, why taking notes matters, and how to create a comfortable environment. I also share an example from John Edward about what happens when a sitter focuses so much on one specific loved one that they miss information from someone else. Finally, we discuss something often overlooked in developing your gifts: being a sitter isn't always easy. Sometimes information comes in pieces, and the sitter has to connect them. As developing intuitives, we want to simplify this process for them. If you're developing your mediumship abilities and have ever wondered what went wrong after a practice session, this episode is for you. One challenging experience doesn't cancel out all your amazing work, and learning to navigate these situations is an important part of your development. It’s rarely random.
