Free Medium Readings
From LoveToKnow Paranormal
Free medium readings are available either online or in person. So, what can you expect from a free reading?
Consulting a Medium
Mediums are psychics who use a variety of tools and senses to contact spirits who have passed on. Psychics use their gifts in many different ways, such as communicating with spirits, finding lost objects or people, or predicting the future. A medium, however, is a specific type of psychic that typically focuses on consulting the departed. He/She may contact spirits in order to relay messages, obtain information, or simply pass along good wishes.
Some religions forbid consulting mediums or contacting the dead, so you may wish to review your own religious tradition before making appointments for free medium readings. Always be safe and contact the Better Business Bureau to make sure that there are no complaints against a particular medium. Unfortunately, many so-called psychics and mediums are charlatans, and it can be difficult to distinguish between those who are genuine and those who are fake.
What Happens During a Medium Reading?
Mediums use a variety of tools to facilitate their psychic abilities. Some may simply ask their clients a question or two, and then sit quietly to obtain the answers. Others consult tarot cards, crystal balls, tea leaves or other exotic items to see images that they believe are revealed by the spirit world. Depending on their gift, mediums may hear voices, see images or otherwise sense contact with the spirit world.
During a reading, the medium may ask questions, such as who you wish to contact or any specific questions you have for the deceased. He or she will then begin. Some consult a spirit guide, or ask a guardian angel for protection, so that no evil entities break through the contact and mislead either the medium or the client.
The medium may go into a trance or simply appear to be listening to unseen voices. He or she may then relay information, either in a normal voice or an altered voice. The altered voice may be the departed speaking through the medium or perhaps the medium’s spirit guide making contact with the client directly.
Paranormal Activity during Medium Readings
It is not uncommon for some minor paranormal activity to occur during medium readings. Spirit orbs may appear. These glowing balls of light are thought to be the energy of departed souls. Some famous mediums produced raps or knocks in response to questions. Two famous mediums, the Fox sisters, often exhibited such poltergeist-like activity. Others may feel cold spots throughout the room. Cold spots are sudden and extreme drops in temperature said to occur when an entity is near. The prevailing theory is that the entity is extracting heat energy from the surrounding area in order to manifest itself or communicate.
Séances
Séances are ceremonies performed by mediums to contact the dead. A typical séance involves several people, including the medium, gathered around a table. The group sits quietly while the medium contacts the spirit world. As each spirit manifests through the medium, the medium shares messages with individuals in the room. Individuals may be allowed to ask questions during the séance. Some mediums offer séances at no charge so that people who are interested in their services can see for themselves that the medium's talents are real. Be warned, however, that many séances are conducted in dark, dimly lit conditions that are ripe for hoaxes.
People interested in the paranormal often dabble in séances. Like Ouija boards, séances should not be tried at home. Sometimes entities with evil intent use Ouija boards and séances to bother the living. Only a medium should attempt to lead a séance.
Find Free Medium Readings
To schedule free readings with a medium, consult the Yellow Pages. Call a few mediums to find out how much time they may offer for free, and how much their services cost. Never provide your credit card information over the telephone to anyone who you do not know, and especially no to mediums or psychics you locate through the Yellow Pages or online. To be safe, and to protect your identity, always pay in cash after the service is rendered. Mediums may provide one free reading or a free 15 minute session to new clients. Some may not, so it’s best to telephone a few to find one who does, as well as one who you feel is legitimate.
Several sources of free readings may be found online. These include:
