Where is your information really coming from?

Treasured friends,

One of the questions I hear most often from developing students is:

“How do I know whether what I'm receiving is psychic information or mediumship?”

It is a very good question because the two can feel remarkably similar.

You might see an image, hear a name, feel an emotion or simply know something without understanding how you know it.

And here's where some of the confusion begins.

The way you receive information doesn't necessarily tell you where it came from.

You can experience clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience or claircognizance when working psychically — and you can experience those same forms of perception when communicating with spirit.

So rather than asking only, “Which clair am I using?”, I teach my students to ask a much more important question:

“Where is my information coming from?”

Understanding that distinction can completely change the way you approach your development.

“I don't think I'm getting enough.” I hear this often from developing mediums.

They want to see more, hear more, receive names, hold their connection longer or get stronger evidence.

And very quickly this can become:

“Maybe I'm just not as able as everyone else.”

But what if the problem isn't that you need more ability?

What if you haven't yet learned to fully recognise and work with the ability you already have?

I often see students dismiss their strongest information because it feels too ordinary. Someone who naturally knows information wants to see instead. Someone who feels spirit very strongly decides they need to hear.

And before long, they are trying to make their mediumship look like somebody else's.

I believe development needs to begin somewhere different.

First understand what is naturally present. Then develop it with structure.

Your mediumship does not need to look like mine — or anyone else's — to be strong.

If you are developing your ability and have wondered whether it's psychic, mediumistic — or perhaps a combination of both — I hope this gives you some clarity.

Brightest blessings,
