There are so many different names that different people put to psychic events, talents, gifts and services. What do we call them?
Most people view psychics as not natural. I view being psychic as very natural. It is just that I am aware of my capabilities and gifts, and lots of others are not aware of theirs.
Paranormal, is another word to describe psychic gifts. Paranormal, being not normal or more than normal! Again, I don’t think it describes it right, but lots of others do see us as being paranormal, and involved in paranormal things such as ghosts, or other spirit events and happenings.
Mediumistic, is another word. Well, medium is a word for the style of communication. A medium is a sort of go-between, and that is what I do, go between the spirit and the seeker, and pass on the communication.
Psychic, is what most people call using the special awareness we have. They are right, but we all have these psychic gifts, they ARE natural. Some say intuition or insight and these are right too. Instinct is another one.
A medium has to be aware of their psychic gifts and know how to use them so that they can act as a medium. A medium who is a go-between! Passing over the spiritual message. And, giving psychic information too.
To me, occult and paranormal are a bit superfluous. I am a natural person who has learned to use my psychic gifts in order to act as a medium for the spirit and seeker.
When it comes to physical mediumship gifts, it is a tad different and we will discuss this more another time.
