Mediumship and Spiritual Thresholds: Listening to Spirit in Glenview & Chicago

As we move into the heart of winter, many people feel a quiet pull inward — a sense that something unseen is tr

ying to be heard. In my work as a psychic medium in Glenview and the Chicago area, this is one of the most common experiences people bring into a session: a subtle feeling that there is more beneath the surface of their everyday lives.

Mediumship is often misunderstood. It can sound mysterious, dramatic, or reserved for a few special people. But in truth, mediumship is deeply human.

Mediumship isn’t something outside of us.It’s something within us.

You don’t have to be “gifted.”You don’t need to see spirits in dramatic ways.You don’t need Hollywood-style visions.

Mediumship begins with something much simpler: listening, noticing, and allowing.

The Messenger Archetype

Across cultures and mythologies, there are figures who walk between worlds — messengers, guides, and boundary-walkers. Their role is not flashy. It is quiet, sacred, and rooted in presence.

I first encountered the Morrígan through a Sacred Journeys Ireland class, where we journeyed into the land and explored spiritual archetypes. While she is often known for her warrior aspect, what struck me most was her role as a threshold guide — someone who helps people move between states of being.

In mediumship, we do something very similar. Messages don’t arrive through force. They come through clarity, intuition, and gentle awareness.

Mediumship is not a spectacle.It is a subtle art of attention.

A Brief Note on Spiritualism

Modern mediumship grew during the Spiritualist movement of the mid-1800s. Ordinary people — teachers, mothers, farmers — gathered in circles to communicate with Spirit. The idea was radical for its time:

Everyone can connect with Spirit.

That belief still guides my work today. Whether you come for a psychic reading, a mediumship session, or Reiki energy healing in Glenview or Chicago, the foundation is the same: presence, compassion, and curiosity.

Mediumship as a Natural Ability

Mediumship doesn’t begin with dramatic visions. It begins with subtle moments:

• A quiet thought that doesn’t feel like yours

• A sudden sense of someone’s personality

• A memory that rises at exactly the right moment

• A warmth or presence that feels familiar

• A shift inside that feels meaningful

This is how Spirit speaks — softly, gently, and personally.

You never need to force it.You only need to allow.

A Simple Three-Minute Spirit Listening Practice

You can experience this for yourself right now.

1. Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

2. Breathe gently.

3. Imagine a small flame in the center of your chest — steady, warm, and grounded.

4. Silently say: “I am here. I am listening.”

5. Hold stillness for one minute.

6. Notice anything subtle: a feeling, an image, a name, or a sense of presence.

7. Close by saying: “Thank you for being here.”

That’s it. Mediumship doesn’t have to be complicated to be real.

A Final Thought

Mediumship isn’t about being special.It’s about being present.

If you feel something stirring inside you...a curiosity, a memory, a sense of connection... that is Spirit already speaking.
