✨ 7 Signs That You Are a Medium✨ Recognizing Your Connection to the Unseen

I still remember the first time I felt it—that unmistakable chill running down my spine when I entered an empty room that didn’t feel empty at all. Have you ever experienced something similar?

Maybe you’ve known exactly who was calling before checking your phone, or woken up from a dream of a departed loved one with tears streaming down your face and a message that felt impossibly real. These aren’t just strange coincidences or an overactive imagination—they might be the universe nudging you toward recognizing your gifts as a medium.

✨ My Journey with Mediumship

Throughout my years guiding students at our Witchcraft Academy, I’ve witnessed countless moments of realization when someone finally understands that their “weird experiences” are actually precious gifts. I’ve seen the relief wash over their faces when they discover they’re not losing their mind—they’re gaining access to something profound.

The path isn’t always easy—I know this firsthand. There were nights I questioned everything, moments I tried to shut it all down.

We’re taught to dismiss these experiences, aren’t we?

But ignoring your mediumistic abilities is like trying to hold a beach ball underwater—eventually, it’s going to pop back up.

Before I dive into what to look for in yourself, I want to share a story that might resonate deeply with many of you who’ve been fighting your intuition.

✨From Skeptic to Believer: Scott Allan’s Journey

I recently sat down with Scott Allan on my UNSEEN LIGHT Podcast, and his story stopped me in my tracks. Scott wasn’t some crystal-wielding mystic who grew up speaking to spirits. He was a funeral director—pragmatic, skeptical, and surrounded by death in the most clinical setting imaginable.

What followed was his description of messages that wouldn’t stop coming—specific, impossible details about the deceased that left him questioning everything he thought he knew…✨

✨ Seven Signs You Might Be a Medium

After working with hundreds of developing mediums and having countless conversations with practitioners like Scott, I’ve identified these tell-tale signs that your soul might be a natural bridge between worlds:

1. Your Senses Pick Up What Others Miss

Last autumn, I walked into an antique store and was instantly enveloped by the scent of pipe tobacco—rich, sweet, and so strong I asked the owner if someone had been smoking. She looked at me oddly and said, “That’s strange… my grandfather owned this building for 50 years and never went a day without his pipe. But he’s been gone for decades.”

Do you experience these sensory anomalies? The sudden drop in temperature that makes your skin prickle? Glimpses of movement when you’re alone? The distinct perfume of someone who isn’t physically present? Your senses are tuning into frequencies others can’t detect—the first way many spirits attempt connection.

2. Your Intuition Speaks in Complete Sentences

There’s intuition, and then there’s mediumistic intuition. The difference? Ordinary intuition feels like a hunch—a gentle nudge. Mediumistic knowing arrives fully-formed, like someone dropped a complete thought into your mind.

I once met a client and immediately “knew” she’d lost twins, though she’d never mentioned children. When I gently mentioned this, she broke down—she’d lost twin boys in the second trimester but told almost no one. This isn’t mind-reading; it’s spirit communication using your intuitive channels.

3. Your Dream Life Is a Meeting Ground

We all dream, but mediumistic dreams have a different quality—they feel more real than reality itself. You might wake with messages that couldn’t possibly come from your own mind, details you couldn’t have known, or a bone-deep certainty that you’ve truly connected with someone who has passed.

These dreams don’t fade like ordinary ones. Years later, you can recall them with perfect clarity because they weren’t dreams at all—they were visitations.

4. Electronics Behave Strangely Around You

My students often laugh about this one—until they realize how common it is. Lightbulbs flickering when you enter a room? Batteries draining inexplicably fast? Your phone doing bizarre things no tech support can explain?

Spirits work with energy, and when you’re developing as a medium, your energy field becomes more conducive to these interactions. I’ve blown out more streetlights during intense spiritual periods than I care to count. It’s not you being “electronically challenged”—it’s your energy affecting the physical world.

5. Your Childhood Had Some “Imaginary” Elements

Children haven’t yet been conditioned to dismiss their spiritual senses. If you had “imaginary friends,” saw people others couldn’t see, or knew things you couldn’t possibly know as a child, you weren’t making it up—you were using your natural mediumistic abilities before the world told you to shut them down.

6. You’re an Emotional Sponge

Do you leave crowded places feeling exhausted? Pick up on others’ moods instantly? Sometimes feel physical pain that mirrors someone else’s symptoms? Mediums are typically highly empathic, but it goes beyond normal empathy—you’re literally absorbing energetic information.

I once developed a sharp pain in my right knee during a reading. The woman I was reading for gasped—her father had died following complications from right knee surgery. My body was creating a physical connection to make his presence known.

7. Synchronicities Follow You Everywhere

Finding feathers in impossible places? Repeatedly seeing number sequences like 111 or 444? Songs that were meaningful to departed loved ones playing at significant moments?

The more you open to your abilities, the more these synchronicities increase. They’re not random—they’re confirmation that you’re noticing the subtle language of spirit.

✨ The Sacred Responsibility

Recognizing these signs isn’t just fascinating—it’s the beginning of understanding a profound responsibility. Being a medium isn’t about party tricks or proving the existence of an afterlife. It’s sacred work.

Whether you develop these gifts professionally or simply use them to navigate your own spiritual journey, approaching them with respect, ethics, and proper understanding transforms them from strange occurrences into meaningful connections.

I invite you to listen to my full conversation with Scott on the UNSEEN LIGHT Podcast. His journey from skepticism to acceptance might be exactly what you need to hear if you’re struggling to embrace your own gifts.

Have these signs been showing up in your life? I’d love to hear your experiences in the comments. Remember, sharing your story might be the permission slip someone else needs to finally acknowledge their own connection to the unseen.

Until next time, trust those whispers—they’re speaking to you for a reason.
