Why People Still Trust Mediums

By Shirley Scott


Humans have always been keen on attempts to contact the deceased. One practice that reportedly links the worlds of the living and the dead is called mediumship. A San Diego medium possesses the psychic abilities that allow them to see and communicate with the dead.

In certain cultures, families reunite for specific times in the year to celebrate death anniversaries of loved ones. There are tons of preparations preceding these celebrations. Some cook massive feasts while others hold novenas or prayer vigils days or weeks before the anniversary. These celebrations are done in the spirit of hope and faith.

Our close relationships with the dead highlight how much we value those who have gone before us. This is primarily because of our beliefs in the afterlife or other concepts of a similar nature. Since most of the human population has its roots deeply grounded in religious beliefs, even now, many of us believe that there is a place we all go to after death.

The afterlife is commonly interpreted differently in beliefs around the world. However, the central idea of an afterlife remains to be quite universal. Believers trust in the psychic abilities of mediums as they try to establish a line of communication with the spirits. Since no scientific or concrete can back up whatever takes place in a single session, these practices are considered highly controversial.

Many skeptics like to point out the absurdity of this practice. Still, others claim to have successfully spoken to their deceased loved ones during sessions with a medium. What can definitely be agreed upon is that all this debate and controversy only highlights our deeply rooted traditions that have anything to do with the dead.

Psychics mostly rely on their intuition when they make readings for a client, while mediums take these intuitive abilities one step further. By harnessing this energy, they conjure up the spirits surrounding a client and deliver messages from the living to the dead. Since none of these are founded on facts, it is rather impossible to give someone appropriate advice on how to find the best mediums.

Those who are interested will just have to rely on their intuition and determine whether or not that medium can deliver what they want. They still have to be extremely cautious since faking psychic abilities are obviously not that difficult because rarely anyone looks for concrete physical evidence. Psychic frauds commonly take advantage of the Forer Effect. In order to achieve this effect, they first manage to get their clients to spill some personal information with conversational tactics.

After getting the information, frauds then build claims around these that are applicable to almost anyone. With enough experience, they can make clients trust every word they are saying by spinning it around personal tragedies that happen to almost everyone. Physical clues such as wedding rings or subtle nods here and there also help psychics indicate events in the lives of their clients that are most personal to them.

You would be surprised that it actually takes some serious observation skills and a lot of practice to learn the tricks of the trade even for frauds. To a certain extent, what they are saying could be partially true because they have learned how to closely examine people for over a long time. However, there is still nothing to be ashamed of in being faithful believers of mediumship. For some people who have grieved over tragic deaths in their life, this has helped them cope in one way or another and if that helps someone get over a loss, then it might actually be doing something good for another living soul.
