How to Prepare for a Mediumship Reading

If you’re like most people who are about to have a psychic mediumship reading, you might be feeling a little nervous, apprehensive, or emotional. Please know that these experiences and feelings are completely normal and I will do my best to help you feel at ease during your reading. I promise I’m not scary :) but I completely understand feeling afraid, especially if this is your first reading!

It’s important to note that I always set the intention with my spirit team and guides that everything that comes through in a reading is for the best and highest good of everyone involved and that whatever comes through is something that the client needs most at the time of the reading. spirits on the other side come with all of the knowledge needed and, because they love you, won’t do anything to intentionally frighten you. I find that they most often come through with the personalities that you know them most for…in other words, it can feel like sitting down and having a conversation with them.

It’s definitely not necessary to do a lot to prepare yourself before a psychic or mediumship reading, but below are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of your reading:

First, if you have specific questions you’d like to ask, take some time to get clear on those before your reading. it can be helpful to jot down your questions and/or intentions and bring them with you. having a list in front of your during your reading can help you relax and focus on the reading without being worried you’ll forget to ask something.

Second, if your reading is taking place virtually, clear your space of any distractions and ensure that you’ll have a secure internet connection and a quiet space where you won’t likely be interrupted. if for some reason the internet connection is poor, we can switch to phone if needed.

third, give yourself plenty of time to arrive to your reading. if possible take a few minutes to breathe, meditate, and ground yourself which can help you feel less anxious. generally the more open you are feeling to connecting with me and with your loved ones in spirit, the easier it is to have a really good experience!

you may also be wondering what to expect during a reading. first, I will introduce myself and give you a brief overview of how I work. I explain that the less information you give me, the easier it is for me to do the reading (especially during the first part of it). not having any information allows me to connect to the spirit’s energy rather than trying to use my conscious mind. I also do my readings slightly differently in that I give you the choice upfront about whether you want me to connect in and start sharing, letting it be a surprise who comes through and in what order or if you’d rather disclose to me who the specific spirit you’d like to hear from first is. allowing it to be a surprise can be fun, although at times we may spend a part of your session connecting to spirits you may not have been expecting to hear from rather than getting straight to someone you want to hear from most. no matter which method you choose, I will begin by sharing evidential information about the spirit to validate our connection. Once i’ve shared some pieces of evidence, I will check in with you and make sure you understand what i’ve shared and ask for your questions. i’m happy to tune into any questions you come with and provide any additional clarification if needed.

what should you expect after a reading? many clients report feeling a little extra sensitive after a reading. it’s important to give yourself some quiet time and space to process. some people like to take a few hours alone and some like to call a family member or friend to talk about the reading right away. know that whatever feels right to you is great! having a journal handy to record your takeaways can be beneficial as well. readings can be profoundly healing experiences and may help you connect to your own intuition or sense of spirituality. they may also encourage you to begin your own process of discovery whether that be related to purpose or something else.

I look forward to meeting with you! Please feel free to reach out to me at contact@kristinnathan.com with any additional questions!
