A conversation came up not long ago after some friends of mine were watching a television show called Long Island Medium.  It is based on the daily life of a Medium named Theresa Caputo.

 

I have never met Theresa but I have watched her show and I do feel that she is very gifted.  Some are put off by her but I believe that is more because of her blunt personality than because of her gift. 

The editing of a television show can make it appear that a Medium is always correct in their messages.  No matter how hard we try to understand the names or messages, some times we get it perfectly and others, we will be off.

 

If you have ever watched her show you will know that she often gives unsolicited messages to people she encounters while out shopping or getting her nails done etc.  There is much debate in the Mediumship world about whether this is a good practice or not.

 

I often find myself picking up on souls wherever I am and whomever I am around.  I believe if there is a message given to me, and I know who it is for, then it is something this person needs and they should hear it.  But there is a difference between a message and something I know psychically about a person.

 

For instance, I often get groceries at the same place each week and I have been going there for several years.  There is a woman who works there who I know is married to an alcoholic abusive husband, who she is fearful of.  She didn’t tell me this.  I have never spoken with her other than exchanging pleasantries as she scans my items

 

In this case, there isn’t a message, it’s just something I know from either the psychic gift of my Mediumship or from a soul connected to her that has “shown” me her situation.

 

Often I try to block out those images because knowing these things, also makes me feel like I am invading a person’s privacy.  It’s not information I would ever repeat to another.

 

There was one instance where I went to a local candy store to pick up some gifts I had ordered.  The young woman who was helping me with my purchase was having a difficult time concentrating on what she was doing and I immediately got a mental picture of a photograph on a bedside table, of her and her husband.  I heard “she thinks he is cheating”.   I knew by looking at the photograph and seeing his face that it wasn’t the case.

I struggled with how to tell her.  Do I explain what I am seeing?  Do I tell her my name and what I do and give it all to her? 

 

Just as I was finishing paying for my purchase, another woman in the store recognized me.  She said out loud “ hey.. You’re that Medium, I recognize you from your photograph.”  I acknowledged her question and smiled as she gave me a hug.  As I went to leave the store, I turned to the young worried girl, put my hand on hers and said “Please stop worrying.  He isn’t cheating.  It’s not what you think”.  And with that, she gave me a teary eyed smile and I left.  Lucky for me, that situation somehow resolved itself for me.  I am certain that I had help from the other side.

 

I often see happy and exciting things.  I have a friend who I seem to be very in-tune with.  I don’t get the chance to talk with her often and haven’t seen her in about 3 years.  But I knew she was pregnant with her first child before she knew.  I not only knew the sex of the baby, I also knew she was pregnant again a couple of months ago before she told anyone other than her husband.  I knew when she was looking for a new house because I psychically saw her packing boxes.  I was able to contact her and ask her about it.  I “saw” the house in my head and described the one she had looked at that very day.  I also told her an approximate area of where she was going to live and what the new house looked like.

 

The most difficult situation for me is to receive a message for someone I know, who doesn’t know I am a Medium.

For instance, I have received messages for old boyfriends, neighbors and former co-workers.  Most of them have no idea that I am a Medium because I kept my gift secret for a very long time.

 

This is a situation that I sometimes don’t know how to handle.  I have prayed about it, asked my guides how to handle it and the best thing at this point for me is to put the message here on my message page and have faith that they will be guided to find it.
