Why People Still Trust Mediums

By Shirley Scott


For years, humans have been very keen on any attempts to contact their loved ones that have already passed on. Mediumship is one of the practices that reportedly allows the communication between the living and the dead with the help of a medium or someone who claims to be able to see and talk to dead spirits. A San Diego medium provides a means of closure for people who want to reconnect with their lost loved ones.

Many cultures allow families around the world time to reconnect with their deceased loved ones. Preparations include massive feasts and major prayer vigils preceding these celebrations, where all family members are usually invited. These are mostly done in hope and faith that the deceased have found peace in the afterlife.

These celebrations shed light on the value that we place on those who have already passed on. Our belief in the afterlife is primarily to blame for these practices that we celebrate. Most of the entire population has roots deeply grounded in a religious upbringing. Even now, lots of us believe that death is not the end for us.

Different religions and cultures may interpret the afterlife differently, but the main idea that there is more to life after death remains the same. For those who believe in this or are seeking for some sort of reconnection with spirits, mediums are often called upon. Now, this practice is highly controversial as there is hardly any evidence to back up any claims that these mediums make.

Nonbelievers point out that most of the findings in a reading are built around coincidental evidence. However, there are still others that insist on the authenticity of supernatural events that take place during a session. All in all, these arguments only underline how much our cultures are similar in their beliefs in the afterlife.

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.

You mainly have to rely on your sense of trust and intuition to determine whether that reader is authentic or not, especially since you can only imagine how easy it is to fake mediumship or psychic abilities. An interesting effect that frauds take advantage of is the Forer Effect. A major thing is they start off by getting gullible clients to give out important personal information before the session has even begun.

Frauds then spin their readings around this information and hint at possible notions that are relevant to almost anyone. Frauds who have had enough experience know the right words to say and when to say them to make clients believe their predictions and assumptions. Physical clues like items of clothing or scars also help psychics indicate the preferences and characteristics of their client.

Tons of practice and serious observation skills developed over time are the main tricks that frauds use to mimic a successful reading session. You would be shocked that this actually requires a certain edge of finesse and proficiency. Because of their skill, some of the claims they make can be partially true, but what helps them is mostly the practice of psychology instead of the supernatural abilities they claim to possess. Still, believers have nothing to be ashamed of in appreciating psychic abilities. It may have somehow helped them cope with grief over a tragic loss and if it does them something good, then that should ultimately be their business.
