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.

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.

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.

With this information, frauds can make claims that apply to almost anyone or at least to someone. With enough practice, they can make these sound believable and applicable to you because chances are, they actually do for most other people too. They can also spot physical clues like wedding rings or subtle hints like or a deep sigh in certain parts of a conversation.

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.
