How to Have a Good Reading with a Medium

First, come with an open mind and heart. 

Second, know that if you are looking to connect with one specific individual in the spirit world, it cannot be guaranteed that they will show up in a reading; you may hear from old friends or be the middleman who passes messages to a friend. That’s not to say you will not hear from the certain person you wish to connect with– just that it cannot always be guaranteed.

Third, if possible, get some information about your family beforehand; names, places, occupations, etc. so if the lesser known family members come through you will be able to validate them.

Fourth, know that people who have passed on are coming through to show you that life continues and they are still around you.  They are not coming through to give you predictions.

Fifth, spirit manifests and provides evidence in many ways; physical features, personality, relationships, names, memories, favorite hobbies etc. Be open to validate whatever comes through from spirit. Please listen to the information that is coming through.  It may not be obvious to the Medium that something is important, but it could be very significant to you.

Sixth, please do not wait to hear what YOU may want to hear; a medium can only give you what they are getting by interpreting the information the best way they can.  Each psychic/medium is different and unique in their abilities. Every session is different and every spirit that comes through is just as unique. Please keep an open mind and listen to the information coming through, so you can have a rewarding and positive experience.

Uplifting Connections – Mediums and Healing Grief

When I lost the two of the men I loved most in the world within 2 months of each other,  it was the resources we now have at Uplifting Connections that saved me, gave me hope, and slowly but surely helped me to see that life would go on.  To me, grief has two main tentacles that wrap themselves around your soul: 1) the worry about whether your loved one still exists and is okay and 2) the pain of missing their physical presence.  I am blessed to be surrounded by talented mediums who have brought me many messages from my father and my husband – and that is one of the most uplifting connections I can imagine.  It entirely erases any concern or worry about whether they are okay.  I know they are more than okay, and I know they are around me when I need them.

We have evening events with mediums – gallery readings ranging from 15 participants for Jackie Waitkus’s shows to 70 for Maureen Hancock’s shows, as well as more intimate private readings with mediums such as Mandy Avery, Emma Phaneuf on a weekly basis, and many more mediums available during our Psychic Fairs the 2nd Saturday of every month.  Please see our Event page (link) and our Readings page (link) for more information.

We also have books on Spirit Communication, Maureen Hancock’s The Medium Next Door, a weekly Spirit Communication Development group on Wednesday nights, and CD’s from Maureen in which she teaches us how to tap into our own abilities (and most mediums agree that we all have the ability to tap in if we should choose to develop it). 

We have a grieving section of books as well.
