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.

This just goes to show how much we respect the souls of the dead. An overwhelming amount of the population believes in the possibility of an afterlife. Because most of us share religious backgrounds, many of us can understand how others believe that death is not the final chapter.

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.

Skeptics tend to point out that most of what takes place in a session is built around observational and circumstantial evidence. Still, others insist that a session has been successful and they were able to establish communication with the dead. The only thing that can be agreed upon is the fact that all this controversy only proves how much our traditions are deeply rooted in our religious backgrounds.

If psychics use their intuition to make readings, mediums take this intuition one step further. They take this energy and direct it around building a line of communication with the spirits surrounding a person. This way, they serve as the channel between the living and the deceased. Obviously, none of these are grounded on facts so there is no appropriate way to tell someone how to choose a medium.

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.

It actually takes some serious skill and tons of experience to be able to pull this off. Because of the psychological skills that psychics have developed over their careers, some are actually capable of spotting clues in the demeanor of their clients that ultimately help them determine facts about other people. Still, those who believe in the supernatural should not be ashamed. If practices like these help people cope with grief, then perhaps they are actually harmless and rather beneficial.
