The Purpose of Physical Mediumship...

People often ask me about the purpose of physical mediumship. This question comes not only from non-spiritual individuals but also from other mediums. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am more than happy to address spiritual questions and never shy away from a spiritual discussion. So, let me share my honest perspective on this somewhat contoversal topic without sugarcoating anything for social media "likes"

Before diving into the purpose, it’s important to provide some background. Mediumship is the ability to communicate and interact with spirits—please set aside any Hollywood misconceptions. Mediums can connect with deceased loved ones and pets, angels, ascended masters, celestial beings, and more. Living this lifestyle is not easy, believe me. However, those who pursue it with pure intentions to serve others can find comfort and healing in their work. As for those who misuse this gift, I will keep you in my prayers.

Mediumship exists at various levels, ranging from mental mediumship (typical evidential spirit readings) to trance mediumship (where a medium blends with spirit to channel messages), and finally to physical mediumship (which includes materialization and psychometry). To practice physical mediumship, one must enter a deep trance state. Many people are unaware of the health challenges that mediums can face due to this work. It is not for the faint of heart; we do it out of love for God and service to others. Physical mediumship is particularly taxing on a medium's body, as it acts as a conduit for manifestation. For this reason, there are not many actively practicing physical mediums today.

I have the great fortune of being friends with physical medium Julie Adreani.

For the past few years, Julie has been working with physical medium Mychael Shane, traveling throughout the U.S. to bring physical mediumship back to spiritual communities. I’ve had the pleasure of attending many of their life changing séances, and while the physical manifestations of apports and levitating items are indeed amazing, people often overlook the true purpose of these sessions: healing.

Last week (4/6/2025), I attended their first annual "Séance on the Seas" cruise event. An amazing group of people from all over the US attended. Although there were impressive apports from both mediums—crystals, pearls, and international coins dated hundreds of years ago—as well as the levitation of trumpets and cabinets, I found myself in tears when I heard the healing messages delivered to audience members. One sitter received a message from spirit in direct voice that validated a spiritual experience she had months earlier while battling cancer. The message was specific and not vague; spirit used words that described her experience in detail. I felt the genuine emotion from the sitter, and as I held her in my arms, we both cried together. Another sitter received a validation of a message her grandmother had channeled on her deathbed. No one but the sitter knew the details, yet spirit was exactly on point with the message and why her grandmother was used as a conduit to relay information from the Angels. Additionally, another sitter, facing unimaginable life challenges, received reassurance from spirit that her strength had not gone unnoticed by God and those close to her. The healing message was so powerful that she was able to release her burdens long enough to cry and feel God’s love surrounding her. I felt the weight lift from her, and I couldn’t help but cry tears of happiness for her. Other sitters received loving validation regarding their life purposes, career goals, personal situations, and spiritual growth, all while spirit delivered jokes to maintain the high vibrations necessary for a physical mediumship séance. Despite the crowd being too large for everyone to receive a direct message from the spirit, we all listened intently and benefited from the collective healing. The energy of the gathering, along with the dedication of both the mediums and their helpers, created the right environment for healing. Although the room conditions weren't ideal by séance standards, one should never underestimate what spirit can achieve.

While I would be remiss not to mention that the manifestation of apports is magical, it’s important to note that they are programmed with healing energy and something you can feel vibrating in your hands. They are excellent for meditation and energy healing practices, but one must pay attention when receiving an apport, as each item is intentionally selected for its recipient by spirit and comes with a healing message relevant to what’s happening in their lives.

My most significant takeaway from participating in séances with Julie & Mychael is the powerful affirmation that when we truly believe, trust, and have faith in God, anything is possible. While many people focus on the medium, the reality is that we serve as conduits—mouthpieces for God and Spirit to convey vital healing messages to those who need them most. Though the journey is challenging, it stands as one of the most fulfilling responsibilities we can undertake.

As psychics, mediums, and healers, we advocate for openness, yet we sometimes close ourselves off from higher forms of mediumship. It's easy to forget that we once struggled to comprehend the miracles that now surround us. Who are we to impose limits on God's boundless power? Embracing this truth allows us to experience even greater possibilities.
