Psychometry, colour and vibrations are all used by psychics and mediums in their day to day work. Some use Tarot cards and Crystal Balls. There are also sand readers and flower readers.
Psychic readers need lots of help as they cannot communicate with spirit. They have to glean as much information as possible by reading the vibes from objects and cards etc. Even when using a crystal ball, it is used as a focal point. There are no pictures which appear inside the ball, it only appears that way to the psychic who is using it as a focal point, something to concentrate on whilst they pick up the information needed to give a message.
There is nothing wrong with being a psychic and some work extremely well. They are not all cold readers. Cold readers could not match a good psychic. Lots of psychics are more than happy with the amount of information they get and give. Those who are very good at working psychically can usually develop into a good medium if they want to dedicate the time and energy needed to do so.
There is a lot of hard work to put into developing mediumship. You have to be dedicated and willing to forgo other things in order to concentrate yourself on the spiritual aspect of mediumship.
Unlike psychics, meditation and prayer are important for mediums. It is important to learn to raise your consciousness to a higher level. It is also very important to get to know your spiritual guide, or guardian angel. For this you need meditation.
Some psychics think you do not need to meditate in order to learn to give messages. They are right, you don’t. But, if you wish to become a good medium and learn to give proof of life after this life, then meditation is very important for you.
It is during meditation that your guides and helpers will come close and help to teach you in their ways of communication. The guides will find out how to get their message across to you and how to make you feel their presence.
You, as a person, will soon notice the difference in the quality of your communications. Your messages will become much clearer and have new meaning. You will feel differently about the whole readings you give. You will become much more discerning about the things you accept.
It is all worth it in the end. After all, the purpose of a medium is to prove that there is life after death. It is not to give fortune telling and information about bills and shopping. Leave that to the psychics. If you only prove life after death to one person per church service, then it is all worth while.
