Updated 2020.08.06 and just as an FYI, this post contains affiliate links.

The truth is that choosing a medium is like selecting any soft service professional, you want to make sure you mesh with them and mesh with you.

They all specialize in something. 

It can take a few tries to find your person, paying for a few haircuts, trying out a few studios, before you get the one you really want or in and around a few that you really love.

To help you make the best choice for you in a psychic, below are a few tips for aligning you with that practitioner of your dreams, a little faster: 

How to find your Psychic Medium

When you're choosing a psychic medium, you want to consider at least six different factors before making your decision, and here they are -

By Speciality

I like to say that psychic mediums are specialists.

Some work on the pools, others work on the cabinets. 

The key to getting the reading you want is knowing what you need from the reading. 

Love? Money? Health? Overall Life/Something's Off? Message from The Spirit World?

Usually, people know when there's something in their blind spot, just like you can tell when a hair's on your back - you can tell when there is extra energy in your field that needs attention. 

While most of the time, we can get this ourselves, it sometimes helps to have a third party with an objective view look too.

Knowing that the third part specializes in what you need can help save you time and money. So if you have a general idea of the type of reading you need, take some time to review if someone specializes in that, and you may get a better match.

Like when it comes to choosing other professionals, most mediums specialize in healing certain areas, with certain people, dealing with certain issues.

A medium's chosen specialty has to do with their received training, personal preferences and interests in the field, and how their natural gifts work.

Some mediums specialize in working with work or career situations. Some specialize in relationship/family healing, and others specialize in only communicating with Angels.

Identify which area in the field your medium focuses on what you're looking for, and you'll get a better match for what you need.

You can usually identify a medium's specialty by observing what they share on their website, social media, or in the About area of any resume service they use.

By Personal Style

A medium serves as a conduit for you to receive a message from The Other Side.

The Spirit coming through often chooses their medium for how closely that psychic aligns with their energy. So if the energy you need to channel aligns more with a specific psychic's personality, the connection may be a better fit. 

The way messages are delivered from medium to medium. The way you receive messages varies depending on how you feel about it.

It's a three-way link, so the higher chance at least two of the links line up, energetically, by the way you feel about your psychic's energy, the greater the chance of a connection.

Try to get a feel for a medium's personality before booking a session. 

Visit their website, Instagram, go to their Facebook page. 

If you actually like the person behind the medium, you'll usually love the session they provide you. 

By The Spirits They Work With

If you want to connect with a specific deceased loved one, try not to go to a medium specializing in working with only Spirit Guides.

Learn who your medium naturally connects with (this should be clear on their website or in what their share on social media) before booking your session. There will be a much better chance you'll talk to the energy you're hoping to. 

A psychic's connection to Spirit can shift over time. They can start in working with Spirit Animals and eventually only connect to one Ascended Master. 

So if you have a psychic, check in on them if they have switched specialties since you last met. Most psychics niche in overtime as they learn their client case and how their gifts work more.

By Types of Readings Offered

If a medium offers Spiritual Coaching on its website and the marketing is geared towards other intuitive professionals who want to develop their business, expect that. 

Make sure their available reading types match what type of connection you're looking for. If it's not on their website, you can also ask, as not all services are listed on websites.

By Location And Time Availability

When looking for a psychic medium, most people would like to find someone in your area.

Still, most mediums agree that telephone readings are just as accurate, if not more accurate than live readings. On a telephone line, they can focus more on the energy of the Spirits present and less on the client's energy, making for a clearer read all around. 

Consider a telephone or Zoom reading and get the reading of your dreams from any medium in the world. 

Usually, selecting someone within 3-5 hours of your local time zone and a live reading can be done on the same business day of both parties.

Outside of that, ask for a distance reading, also known as an email or PDF reading.

By Price

The average price of a mediumship reading in the United States is anywhere between $25-325. It depends on many things, including the length of the session. 

Reading prices are largely dependent on:

  • Market rate and demand in their area

  • How that medium ethically feels about pricing readings

  • How many people will pay for a reading

  • Length of practice, professional training received and level of experience

  • Outside factors including a medium's religion, family, and their culture

  • How much value the medium places on the worth of their gifts

  • Overhead of rent, admin costs, and utilities to run their business in that are

Most mediums are service professionals that are paid via an hourly rate, and they are generally all worth the price. 

That in mind - never book a medium for a price, you'll feel sorry about later. You want to feel good about the price you agreed to pay to go into your reading. 

Most mediumship readings are non-refundable once the service is provided.

So, make sure you are comfortable with the price before the reading starts.

There are practitioners available at nearly every price point.

Training psychic prices can range between $25-50 a reading. Student readings are often excellent as trainees are very eager to do well. 

Psychics practicing for 10 years or more can charge upwards of $400.00, but the median rate is often within $125-165 for a private sitting.

Need a free reading?

Many psychics, currently including myself, offer group energy readings for the month or try some of the group Zodiac Sign readings on YouTube.

And finally, remember that getting a good reading is about you, too

As much as it is about the medium, any connection with a medium is a three-way link between You, Medium & Spirits.

Getting quality reading is only one-third related to the quality of the medium you've chosen. 

You can improve your chances of getting the best reading possible yourself by: 

Meditating before your session to make sure you're in a clear place to understand and take in the messages

Identifying and inventorying any possible Spirit you've ever known, because no it's not unreasonable or out of the question for that third-grade teacher you loved so much to show up. 

By sharing in the opening channel ritual, if they do a prayer, for example, take their hands. If they make an offering of tobacco, bow your head.

If this is your first time booking a medium, it may take a few tries before you find the one that meshes with you, the same goes for mediums, healers, and shamans. 

Most people like to try out at least 2-3 different sessions to get a feel for the style they like, before settling on their go-to reader for life.
