I am a psychic medium. Technically a seer. There is no easy way to explain what it is like being a psychic medium. A bridge between worlds is a good start. However the reality of this is beyond what human language can capture. As a psychic medium, whilst I can directly communicate with Spirits, they do not always give clear answers. Similarly with visions, I cannot control what visions I receive. This makes the path very mystical and unseen. It is not a gift that can be controlled absolutely, and it requires trust, patience and surrender. Psychic gifts are strongly connected to intuition. Everyone has psychic gifts that are unique to each person and can be uncovered with practice. My main psychic gifts are clairvoyance (psychic vision), clairsentience (psychic feeling), claircognizance (psychic knowing) and clairaudience (psychic hearing). This means that I can directly communicate with the Spirit realm and receive psychic visions; many of which are prophetic. I use my own spiritual connections to convey psychic messages to others, and teach my clients how to unlock their own psychic gifts by developing and connecting to their own intuition.
I will start with answering a few common questions. No, I cannot read your mind directly; I can read your energy. I cannot predict the future in a literal sense; I can read into future potential timelines but you always have choice and freewill. Yes, I can see spirit attachments on people. Dark spirits often look like dementors and feel heavy. Light spirits often look and feel like a bright orbit of white light. Auras look like an arch of light around a person’s head and shoulders, reflecting the energy of the person. The colours can be layered. I am not always meant to share what I see; I listen to my intuitive guidance. Sometimes I am blocked from receiving messages if it is meant to stay hidden; I listen to this. No, I am not lying or crazy; although I understand scepticism and was a sceptic myself for a long time. Many people do not understand and judge what I do; I accept and respect that. I do not share this part of myself with everyone; I am also a regular human being with a regular life. Sometimes my gifts feel like a burden; it can be overwhelming and exhausting navigating different realms. I also love my gifts and am grateful for their wisdom.
Being born as a psychic medium has been a complicated journey. As a young child I was very in tune with the spirit world, and could hear, see, feel and communicate with spirits around me. This was put down to a vivid imagination, and I learnt to suppress and hide my psychic gifts from others to fit in. I became consciously aware of my psychic gifts when I was 9 years old. My Grandmother, who also had the gift of sight, was terminally ill and knew death was near. She told me that she could see the things I saw, that I was not crazy, and that this was actually a gift passed down through the family line that I would understand one day. She gave me a golden cross family heirloom and told me to keep it safe, as it would protect and help me in the future. Shortly after this she died and I did not tell anyone what had happened. I was angry, scared, confused, and felt abandoned, so I started shutting down my psychic abilities and blocking out the memory of what had happened. Many later when I was ready to reactivate my psychic gifts, the cross suddenly appeared. My Grandmother would communicate with me through the Spirit realm when I wore it. I now know that this cross is connected to the Order of Magdalena, of which my Grandmother’s ancestral line is descended from. I always wear it when I do any psychic channeling and energy healing as a direct line to my ancestors.
Divine timing is something that took me a long time to understand. Sometimes I receive a vision that comes into reality 5, 10 or 20 years later. Other visions may materialise the next day, week or month. Some visions are more abstract and symbolic, others are specific and literal. The uncertainty of this path is something I have had to accept and surrender to for my own peace of mind. For a long time this confused and overwhelmed me. I would obsess, study and analyse every single message I received, trying to predict exactly how and when my vision would occur. This took up so much time and mental energy and almost sent me insane. It was only once I truly understood the concept of divine timing and learnt detachment that I could comfortably receive psychic visions and messages without overwhelm. Writing down the messages I receive helps me practice detachment and come back to messages in time. I encourage my clients to use writing as a way to connect to their own intuition, practice channelling and record messages over time.
Over the years I have worked with many spiritual healers, mentors, guides, teachers and gurus to really hone and develop my psychic abilities. I also trained as a counsellor, yoga teacher and reiki energy healer as ways to channel my gifts in a clear, grounded way. The Order of Magdalena is linked to the path of the Rose Priestess, of which I have undergone specific training to further hone and develop my psychic abilities by studying ancient mystical practices with spiritual teachers and guides. Yogi mysticism has given me a framework to understand my path and navigate the unseen realms with grounded clarity. Astrology is a major roadmap I use to navigate and interpret energies. I track the moon cycles, stars and planetary alignments as a psychic compass. Divination tools like tarot, runes, crystals and pendulums also offer tangible ways to receive and communicate messages. Tarot is my favourite way to communicate psychic messages with others as they visually speak to intuition. I like to teach my clients how to read tarot cards themselves as a psychic tool anyone can use to tap into their intuition.
As a modern mystic, my mission is to help make psychic messages digestible, clear and collaborative. No specific preparation is needed except an open mind and willingness to open to receive. I encourage clients to book sessions on a day where they will have time and space to process the messages received, as some readings can be emotional and confronting, which can be draining. Others feel very excited, elated and floaty following readings so calming and grounding practices are important to stay in the body for integration. I always leave my clients with specific suggestions, tools and guidance to integrate and process messages. Working with a psychic medium helps to unlock and more deeply connect to your own intuitive knowing. Many of my clients are highly psychic themselves without realising, and just need someone to guide, direct and confirm what they already intuitively know. Some of my clients have gone on to leave their traditional 9-5 corporate job that was making them unhappy to work in the holistic healing field after a reading, by connecting to their unique psychic gifts. Other clients have left toxic relationships after getting the clarity and confirmation they needed to leave for good. My training as a counsellor and yoga teacher allows me to meet clients where they are at without judgement or expectation, creating a safe space to open to receive messages without overwhelming the client; this is what it means to be a bridge between worlds.
I always start sessions by grounding the person in the room through a breathing exercise, setting intentions for the reading and asking permission to tap into their energy. Consent is essential to uphold ethics in energy work, so I will never do a reading for someone who is unwilling to receive. Once I open myself to receive information and allow Spirit to pass through me, I see what arises and use that to guide and direct the session. The messages I receive range from visual, auditory and sensory. Sometimes they are clear and direct, and other times they are abstract and open to interpretation. Usually I will start pulling tarot cards to read the energy in line with the intentions, and use the cards to interpret and communicate the energetic messages to clients. I always explain and break down how I am reading each card in the unique context of the spread, and encourage my clients to consider their own understanding. I may psychically channel specific messages that come through from a spirit guide, ancestor, Archangel or benevolent being (spirit). I only call in spirits that are aligned with my client’s highest and greatest good in line with unconditional love, and do not call in spirits from the lower realms.
A client’s passed on loved one, family member or ancestor may come into the room. I will only share this if the spirit gives me permission to be seen as some clients are not ready for this level of communication, even if it is something they desire. Helping passed on spirits transition to the other side is one part of mediumship that I offer for clients who are holding onto long term unprocessed grief. This cannot be forced and I will only do this in specific cases if both the client and spirit consent to this process. Most readings do not involve this and we stick to interpreting the energy through channelled messages and tarot cards.
Readings often become a collaborative discussion where I share and discuss psychic messages with the client. Together we come to an understanding of the energy reading so the client can move forward in clarity. I also use light language to help clients connect more deeply to their intuition. Light language is the language of the soul, and is felt rather than understood. Activations through light language expands a person’s own psychic knowledge to encourage a deeper understanding of the messages shared in the reading, as well as intuitive connections. Many clients go on to start learning light language themselves after an activation, and I work with many clients ongoing to further unlock their own unique gifts. Each session is highly unique and specific for each client, but I always use tarot cards to keep messages grounded in reality and create a visually collaborative process.
Psychic readings are not fortune telling or mind reading. They offer guidance, clarity and direction by reading and interpreting different threads of energy internally and externally. This is something I am very clear about with my clients; exact timing and future outcomes cannot be known and predicted with absolute certainty as we are reading energy not a textbook. Readings provide guidance and direction for future potential outcomes, but each person always has free will and choice regarding whether they choose to align with different energies and potential timelines. The best way to gauge direction is by connecting to your own intuition and considering what feels true for you.
Whilst I have heightened sensory perceptions, everyone has the ability to develop their intuition and own psychic gifts. I use my abilities to activate and awaken clients to the truth they already know within, rather than being a gatekeeper of knowledge. It is advisable not to get multiple readings in a short window of time as this can create confusion and overwhelm. Energy also takes time to be processed and revealed. 3-6 months is a good window for the frequency of readings. I always tell my clients to listen to their intuition and trust it will tell them when it is time for another reading. For some, one reading is all they need. For others, perhaps a reading may highlight that energy healing or a different modality may be beneficial. Many clients decide to come back for reiki or a psychic clearing following a reading. Some clients may come back for another reading in a shorter window for clarity on a separate area of their life. It is highly unique and specific for each person, and I never force or assert that another reading or service is necessary. I advise clients to ask their intuition and consider their intentions when booking reading for guidance.
The main purpose of a psychic reading is to make the unseen seen, and offer clarity, direction and guidance for a person’s highest path forward. I share the messages I receive, offer intuitive guidance and have to detach from the outcome beyond there. What a person chooses to do with the information they receive from a psychic reading is entirely up to them. I know I cannot control the future and it is not my responsibility to force, convince or tell others what to do. Instead my role is to guide others through my psychic connections, and show others how to connect to their own intuitive knowing within. It is truly an honour to be able to use my gifts to support others on their life journey as a bridge between worlds. Thank you for being here. The light in me honours the light in you.
Namaste, Yasmin
