Psychics And Tarot Card Readings

Introduction

Psychics and Tarot card readings have been part of human curiosity, spirituality, and personal exploration for generations. Whether you are completely new to the subject or have experienced readings before, there is often a desire to understand how they work, what they offer, and whether they can genuinely provide insight into your life.

For many people, the idea of Psychics and Tarot can feel uncertain or misunderstood. There are countless opinions, some supportive and some sceptical, and it can be difficult to separate reality from assumption. From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, I see both Psychic work and Tarot card readings as tools for awareness, clarity, and understanding rather than prediction or control.

I do not work with a spirit guide, and I approach both Psychic insight and Tarot in a direct and grounded way. My focus is not on telling people what they want to hear, but on providing honest, clear, and relevant information that can help them move forward with confidence.

In this post, I will explore what Psychics do, how Tarot card readings work, how the two connect, and why they continue to be valuable tools for so many people.

What Does It Mean To Be Psychic?

Being Psychic is often misunderstood. Many people assume it means having extraordinary abilities, predicting the future with certainty, or knowing everything about a person’s life. In reality, Psychic awareness is far more subtle and far more grounded than that.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, being Psychic is about awareness. It is about noticing impressions, thoughts, or feelings that stand out from your normal thinking. These impressions may come through as a sense of knowing, a mental image, a feeling, or even something you hear internally.

Psychic awareness does not replace logic or common sense. It works alongside them. It highlights things that may not be immediately obvious, helping you to see your situation from a different angle.

It is also important to understand that Psychic ability is not something that exists only in a select few people. Many people experience moments of intuition or awareness that could be described as Psychic. The difference is often in how those experiences are recognised and interpreted.

What Is A Psychic Medium?

A Psychic Medium works with both Psychic awareness and Mediumship. While Psychic work focuses on intuitive perception, Mediumship involves communication with those who have passed into Spirit.

As a Psychic Medium, I use both aspects in my work, depending on the situation. Some readings focus entirely on Psychic insight, while others may include elements of Mediumship where appropriate.

I do not rely on a spirit guide, and I do not approach Mediumship in a theatrical or exaggerated way. My work is based on awareness, interpretation, and experience. The aim is always to provide clarity, not confusion.

What Are Tarot Card Readings?

Tarot card readings are a structured way of exploring thoughts, situations, and potential outcomes using a deck of 78 cards. Each card carries symbolic meaning, and when they are laid out in a spread, they form a narrative.

Tarot is not about fixed predictions. It is about understanding what is happening now, what influences are at play, and what direction things may take if nothing changes.

Each card acts as a reflection. It brings attention to something that may already be present but not fully recognised. When combined with interpretation, the cards provide a clearer picture of your situation.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, Tarot is a tool that works alongside awareness. It provides structure, but the interpretation comes from how the cards connect to your life.

How Psychics And Tarot Work Together

Psychics and Tarot card readings are often used together, and when combined correctly, they can complement each other in a powerful way.

Tarot provides a visual and symbolic framework. It lays out the structure of the reading and highlights key areas of focus. Psychic awareness adds depth to this structure. It brings in impressions, details, and insights that may not be directly shown in the cards.

When I work with Tarot, I do not rely solely on the meanings of the cards. I also use my Psychic senses to expand on what is being shown. This allows the reading to go beyond basic interpretation and become more specific to the individual.

This combination is what makes a reading feel personal rather than generic. It is not just about what the cards mean, but about how they relate to you.

Why People Turn To Psychics And Tarot Card Readings

People seek out Psychics and Tarot card readings for many different reasons, but the common theme is usually clarity. Life can be complicated, and it is not always easy to see things objectively when you are emotionally involved.

Some people come to a reading because they are facing a decision. Others want to understand a relationship, a career situation, or a change in their life. Some are simply curious and want to explore what may come through.

Tarot and Psychic readings do not make decisions for you. They give you the information you need to make your own decisions with a clearer understanding.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, the value of a reading is not in telling you what will happen, but in helping you understand what is happening.

Love, Relationships And Tarot

Love and relationships are one of the most common areas people ask about in Tarot card readings. These situations often carry strong emotions, which can make it difficult to see things clearly.

Tarot can highlight the dynamics between you and another person. It can show patterns, communication issues, emotional connections, and where things may be heading.

It does not tell you who you should be with or make decisions for you. Instead, it provides insight into what is actually happening within the relationship.

As a Psychic Medium, I approach love readings with honesty. I do not tell people what they want to hear. I explain what I see, even if it challenges expectations.

Career And Life Direction Readings

Career and life direction readings are another key area where Tarot and Psychic insight can be valuable. These readings focus on clarity, decision-making, and understanding where you are heading.

The cards can highlight opportunities, challenges, and areas where action may be needed. They can also reflect your mindset and how it is influencing your situation.

From my perspective, these readings are about awareness. They help you see your options more clearly, rather than deciding your path for you.

What To Expect From A Reading With Me

When you book a reading with me, you can expect a direct and personal experience. I do not follow a script, and I do not give generic answers.

The reading is focused entirely on you. Your situation, your questions, and your experience shape the direction of the session.

I create a calm and non-judgmental environment where you can ask anything. The reading is interactive, allowing you to ask questions and explore the information as it comes through.

By the end of the session, you will have a clearer understanding of your situation and a better sense of your next steps.

The Importance Of Honest Readings

One of the most important aspects of any Psychic or Tarot reading is honesty. It is easy to give people answers that sound positive or reassuring, but that does not always provide real value.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, honesty is essential. I do not tell people what they want to hear. I tell them what I see.

This is what allows the reading to be useful. It provides clarity rather than confusion and helps you make decisions based on what is actually happening.

Are Psychics And Tarot Accurate?

Accuracy in Psychic and Tarot readings depends on interpretation, awareness, and experience. While no reading is perfect, a good reading should feel relevant, specific, and connected to your situation.

It is important to understand that readings reflect potential, not certainty. The future is influenced by your choices, and those choices can change outcomes.

From my perspective, accuracy is about relevance. If the reading reflects your situation clearly and provides insight you can use, then it is doing its job.

Common Misconceptions

There are many misconceptions about Psychics and Tarot card readings. One of the most common is that they are about predicting fixed outcomes.

Another misconception is that all readings are the same. In reality, the quality of a reading depends heavily on the experience and approach of the reader.

Some people also believe that Tarot or Psychic readings require belief to work. This is not the case. Many sceptical clients still find value in the clarity and insight they receive.

The Real Purpose Of Psychics And Tarot

The true purpose of Psychics and Tarot card readings is not prediction. It is understanding. It is about helping you see your situation more clearly so that you can make informed decisions.

A good reading should leave you feeling more aware, more confident, and more capable of moving forward.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, this is where the real value lies. It is not about telling the future. It is about helping you understand the present.

Conclusion

Psychics and Tarot card readings continue to be valuable tools for insight, clarity, and understanding. When approached in a grounded and honest way, they can provide meaningful guidance that helps you navigate your life with greater awareness.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, Tarot and Psychic work are not about control or prediction. They are about interpretation, awareness, and helping you see what is already there.

If you are considering a reading, the most important thing is to approach it with an open but balanced mind. Allow the information to come through, reflect on it, and use it to make your own decisions.

Ultimately, the power of a reading lies not in the cards or the Psychic, but in how you choose to use the insight you receive.

Am I Psychic? By Kristian von Sponneck

Am I Psychic?

Introduction

The question “Am I Psychic?” is one that quietly sits in the minds of many people, often triggered by experiences that feel difficult to explain. It may not come as a loud declaration, but rather as a passing thought after something unusual happens. You may have thought about someone just before they contacted you, sensed something about a situation that later proved to be accurate, or felt a shift in your awareness that seemed to stand apart from normal thinking.

These moments can feel significant because they interrupt the ordinary flow of experience. They make you pause and question whether there is something more to your awareness than you previously realised. This is often where the curiosity begins, and where people start to explore the idea of being Psychic.

As a Psychic Medium, I have been asked this question countless times. People are looking for clarity. They want to know whether what they are experiencing is a genuine Psychic ability or simply coincidence, intuition, or imagination. The honest answer is that it is rarely one or the other. It is often a combination of how the mind works, how awareness functions, and how those experiences are interpreted.

From my own perspective as a Psychic Medium, I do not work with a spirit guide, and I do not view Psychic ability as something mystical that is granted to a select few. Instead, I see it as a form of awareness that exists in many people to varying degrees. The difference is not always in whether someone is Psychic, but in how they recognise and understand their own experiences.

In this post, I will explore in greater depth what it means to be Psychic, why people begin to question it, the role of intuition and perception, and how to approach your own experiences in a grounded and realistic way.

What Does It Mean To Be Psychic?

The word “Psychic” carries a lot of assumptions. It is often associated with predicting the future, reading minds, or having access to hidden knowledge. These ideas are reinforced by media and popular culture, where Psychic ability is often portrayed in extreme or exaggerated ways.

In reality, being Psychic is far more subtle. It is not about knowing everything or having constant access to information beyond normal awareness. It is about perception. It is about noticing impressions, thoughts, or feelings that stand out from your usual way of thinking.

These impressions can feel different because they do not always follow a logical path. They may appear suddenly, without a clear origin, and carry a sense of certainty or significance that makes them stand out.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, being Psychic is not about having a special label. It is about how your awareness operates. It is about recognising when something feels different, and understanding that difference without immediately assigning it a fixed meaning.

Why Do People Start Asking “Am I Psychic?”

The question usually begins with an experience that feels unusual. It may be a moment that stands out because it cannot be easily explained. These experiences often feel personal, as though they are directed at you in some way.

For example, you may have had a strong feeling about something that later turned out to be accurate. You may have thought about someone just before they reached out to you. You may have sensed the mood of a situation without anyone saying a word.

What makes these experiences significant is not just what happens, but how they feel. They feel different from ordinary thoughts. They feel as though they carry weight or meaning.

This is where interpretation begins. The mind naturally tries to make sense of what it experiences, and when something does not fit into a clear explanation, it often turns to the idea of Psychic ability.

The Role Of Intuition

Intuition is one of the most important aspects of this discussion. It is often described as a gut feeling or a sense of knowing something without being able to explain why. Everyone experiences intuition, whether they recognise it or not.

Intuition works by processing information quickly, often below the level of conscious awareness. It draws on past experiences, subtle cues, and patterns that the mind has learned over time. Because this process happens so quickly, the result can feel immediate and unexplained.

This is why intuition can feel Psychic. It appears to arrive without effort, and it often feels accurate in the moment. However, it is important to understand that intuition is still part of how the mind works. It is not necessarily evidence of an external source of information.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, intuition is a key part of awareness. It is something that can feel powerful, but it should also be understood in context.

When Thoughts Feel Different

One of the main reasons people begin to question whether they are Psychic is because certain thoughts feel different from others. These thoughts may appear suddenly, carry a stronger emotional weight, or feel more certain than your usual thinking.

This difference can create the impression that the thought has come from outside of you. It can feel as though it has been placed into your awareness rather than created by it.

However, the mind is capable of producing thoughts in many different ways. Some are deliberate, while others arise spontaneously. The ones that feel different are the ones that stand out, and because they stand out, they are more likely to be remembered and interpreted as significant.

Sensitivity To People And Environments

Some people are naturally more sensitive to their surroundings. They may pick up on subtle changes in mood, tone, or atmosphere that others might overlook. This can include sensing how someone feels without them expressing it directly.

This level of sensitivity can feel like Psychic awareness because it involves noticing things that are not immediately obvious. However, it is often a reflection of how attentive and aware you are of your environment.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, this sensitivity is an important part of awareness. It allows you to notice subtle details, but it does not necessarily mean you are receiving information from an external source.

The Influence Of Memory And Association

The mind is constantly linking experiences together. A sound, a smell, or a visual cue can trigger a memory without you consciously recognising the connection. This is why someone may suddenly come to mind without any obvious reason.

These associations happen quickly and often below conscious awareness. Because you do not see the link, the thought can feel as though it has appeared out of nowhere.

This is one of the reasons why experiences can feel Psychic. The lack of visible cause creates the impression that the thought has come from somewhere else.

Can Psychic Awareness Be Developed?

This is another common question. If you feel that you may be Psychic, can it be developed further?

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, development is less about gaining something new and more about understanding what is already there. It involves becoming more aware of how your thoughts and feelings operate, and learning to recognise patterns within your own awareness.

However, it is important not to force the process. Trying to create experiences can lead to overthinking and misinterpretation. Awareness develops naturally through observation and understanding.

The Role Of Belief

Belief plays a significant role in how experiences are interpreted. If you believe that certain thoughts or feelings are Psychic, you are more likely to interpret them that way. If you approach the same experiences from a psychological perspective, you may see them differently.

Neither approach is entirely right or wrong. The experience itself does not change, but the meaning you assign to it does.

This is why it is important to remain balanced. It is easy to over interpret experiences and assume they have a deeper meaning when they may simply reflect how the mind works.

A Psychic Medium’s Perspective

As a Psychic Medium, I do not see being Psychic as something that needs to be defined in strict terms. I do not rely on a spirit guide, and I do not believe that Psychic ability is something that separates people into categories.

Instead, I see it as part of a spectrum of awareness. Some people will experience it more strongly, while others may not notice it at all. The key is not in labelling yourself, but in understanding how your awareness works.

Conclusion

The question “Am I Psychic?” is not one that can be answered with a simple yes or no. It is a question that invites you to explore your own awareness, your own thoughts, and how you interpret your experiences.

Many of the experiences that lead people to ask this question are linked to intuition, sensitivity, and the natural workings of the mind. They can feel significant, but they are not always evidence of something external.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, being Psychic is less about having a special ability and more about recognising how awareness operates. It is about understanding the difference between perception and interpretation.

If you find yourself asking whether you are Psychic, the most important thing is to observe rather than assume. Pay attention to your experiences, understand how your mind works, and allow your awareness to develop naturally.

Ultimately, the answer may not lie in whether you are Psychic in a traditional sense, but in how you understand and experience the world around you.

 20 Psychic signs someone is thinking about you by Kristian von Sponneck20 Psychic Signs Someone Is Thinking About You

Introduction

The idea that someone may be thinking about you without any direct communication is something that many people find both intriguing and emotionally powerful. It is one of those subjects that sits right between intuition, awareness, and human connection. You may suddenly think about someone out of nowhere, feel an emotional shift that you cannot explain, or notice repeated reminders of a specific person, and it can begin to feel as though there is something more behind it.

As a Psychic Medium, I am asked about this regularly. People want to know if these experiences are genuine Psychic signs or simply coincidence. The truth, as with much of Mediumship, is not always straightforward. It often sits between how we interpret our awareness and how the mind naturally works.

From my own perspective as a Psychic Medium, I do not work with a spirit guide and I do not receive direct, structured communication confirming when someone is thinking about another person in this way. What I do see is how awareness, emotion, and perception can create very real experiences that feel significant.

In this post, I will explore twenty commonly discussed Psychic signs that someone may be thinking about you, expanding on each in more detail to give you a clearer and more grounded understanding.

Understanding Psychic Awareness In This Context

Before looking at the individual signs, it is important to understand how Psychic awareness works in this context. Psychic perception is rarely clear or direct. It does not usually arrive as a voice telling you something specific. Instead, it appears as subtle impressions, thoughts, or feelings that stand out from your normal awareness.

The difficulty is that these impressions appear in the same place as your own thoughts. This makes it very hard to distinguish between something that feels external and something that is internal. The mind is constantly active, processing information, memories, and emotions, often without your conscious awareness.

Because of this, interpretation becomes everything. What you experience can feel very real, but that does not always mean it originates from someone else thinking about you. It may instead reflect your own awareness shifting in response to internal or external triggers.

Kristian von Sponneck Facebook

A Sudden Thought About Someone Without Context

One of the most common experiences people describe is suddenly thinking about someone without any obvious reason. You may be completely focused on something else, and then a specific person appears in your mind as if they have been placed there.

This can feel significant because it breaks your normal train of thought. It does not feel like something you chose to think about, which can lead to the belief that it has come from outside of you.

However, the mind is constantly working beneath the surface. It is linking memories, processing information, and reacting to subtle stimuli. Something as small as a sound, a smell, or even a passing thought can trigger a memory of someone without you consciously recognising why.

This does not make the experience meaningless, but it does suggest that it is not necessarily evidence that someone else is thinking about you.

Repeated Thoughts About The Same Person

When the same person keeps coming into your mind repeatedly, it can begin to feel like more than coincidence. The repetition creates a sense of importance, as though there is something that needs your attention.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, repetition can feel like emphasis. However, it is also important to understand that the mind naturally returns to what holds emotional relevance.

If someone has had an impact on your life, whether positive or negative, your awareness is more likely to revisit them. The repetition reflects the strength of your own connection to that person, rather than necessarily indicating they are thinking about you.

Feeling An Emotional Shift

A sudden emotional shift can feel like it has come from nowhere. You may feel calm, nostalgic, unsettled, or uplifted without any clear reason.

This can be interpreted as a Psychic connection, especially if it occurs alongside thinking about someone. However, emotions are closely tied to thoughts, even those that occur below your conscious awareness.

Your mind may briefly touch on a memory or association that you do not fully register, and that can influence how you feel. What appears to be an external emotional shift is often an internal response that you have not consciously tracked.

Dreams About A Specific Person

Dreaming about someone can feel particularly meaningful. Dreams often carry emotional intensity, and when a specific person appears, it can feel as though there is a connection beyond your waking awareness.

If someone appears repeatedly in your dreams, it can strengthen this feeling. It may seem as though they are reaching out or thinking about you in some way.

However, dreams are shaped by your subconscious mind. They process memories, emotions, and experiences, often blending them in ways that feel symbolic or significant. The presence of a person in your dreams usually reflects your own internal processing rather than their thoughts.

A Sense Of Presence

Some people describe feeling as though someone is near them, even when they are alone. This can feel like a subtle presence or awareness that is difficult to explain.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, this can feel similar to heightened awareness, but it is not necessarily evidence that someone is thinking about you.

The mind is capable of creating strong sensory impressions, especially when emotion or memory is involved. This can create a convincing sense of presence without there being an external source.

Sudden Changes In Mood

A sudden change in mood can feel significant, particularly when it happens without a clear cause. You may feel uplifted, reflective, or uneasy without understanding why.

These changes are often linked to internal thought patterns. Even a brief memory or subconscious association can influence your emotional state.

Because these shifts can feel unexpected, they are often interpreted as external, but they are usually internal in origin.

Strong Intuitive Feeling

A strong feeling that someone is thinking about you can feel very convincing. It may feel like certainty, as though you simply know without needing any evidence.

Intuition is a powerful part of awareness, but it is also influenced by your own experiences, beliefs, and emotions. What feels like certainty can still be shaped by your internal state.

Remembering Shared Moments

Suddenly recalling a shared moment with someone can feel meaningful, especially if the memory comes with emotion.

These memories are often triggered by subtle associations within your environment or thoughts. The mind constantly links present experience with past events.

Physical Sensations

Physical sensations such as tingling, warmth, or a sudden awareness in the body are sometimes interpreted as Psychic signs.

While these sensations can feel meaningful, they are also common physical responses influenced by emotion and attention.

Hearing Their Name Or Something Related

Hearing someone’s name or encountering something that reminds you of them can feel like a sign.

This is often linked to selective attention. Once someone is in your awareness, you are more likely to notice anything connected to them.

Coincidences And Synchronicities

Coincidences can feel highly significant, especially when they involve a specific person.

These moments stand out because they interrupt your normal experience, but they are often shaped by perception rather than external influence.

Checking Your Phone And Seeing Nothing

The feeling that someone has contacted you, only to find no message, can feel like a missed connection.

This is usually linked to expectation rather than Psychic awareness.

A Pull To Reach Out

A sudden urge to contact someone can feel as though it has come from outside of you.

In reality, it is often driven by your own emotional connection or curiosity.

Noticing Their Activity More Often

Seeing someone’s name or activity more frequently can feel like a sign.

This is usually due to increased awareness rather than increased occurrence.

Feeling Watched Or Observed

The sensation of being watched is a common human experience linked to awareness and perception.

Random Emotional Memories

Emotional memories can surface unexpectedly, bringing someone into your awareness.

These are part of the mind’s natural processing.

A Sense Of Familiar Energy

Feeling an energy associated with someone is often linked to memory and emotional association.

Unexpected Reminders

Objects, songs, or places that remind you of someone can feel significant, but they are usually triggered by association.

A Feeling Of Connection Without Contact

Feeling connected to someone without communication is often based on emotional attachment.

Overanalysing Small Details

Overanalysing small details can create meaning where there may be none.

A Psychic Medium’s Perspective

As a Psychic Medium, I approach this subject with honesty and balance. These experiences can feel real, but they are often influenced by your own awareness and perception.

I do not work with a spirit guide, and I do not receive direct confirmation of this kind of connection.

Conclusion

The idea that someone is constantly thinking about you is compelling, but it is important to approach it with clarity. Many of these experiences are shaped by your own thoughts, emotions, and awareness.

From a Psychic Medium’s perspective, they reflect how the mind creates meaning rather than direct external communication.

Understanding this allows you to approach these moments with a more grounded and realistic perspective.

Should Mediums Be Paid For Their Work?

Should Mediums be paid for their work? By Kristian von Sponneck

Should Mediums Be Paid For Their Work?

Few topics generate as much debate within the spiritual community as the question of whether a Psychic Medium should be paid for their work. The discussion has existed for generations and continues to surface in conversations among those who believe in Mediumship as well as those who remain sceptical of it. As a working Psychic Medium, this is a question I am asked regularly, both during private conversations and following public demonstrations. It is a subject that deserves thoughtful consideration rather than quick judgement, because the answer is rarely as simple as some people imagine.

From my own perspective as a Psychic Medium, the question is not merely about money. It is about value, responsibility, time, and the professional structure required to deliver Mediumship in a consistent and accountable way. I do not work with a spirit guide and I do not attribute my work to unseen intermediaries. My work relies entirely on my own intuitive faculties, discipline and interpretation. Because of that, the time and effort required to develop and maintain those abilities is significant. When discussing whether a Psychic Medium should be paid, it is important to understand the full context of what the work involves.

The Historical Debate Around Mediumship And Payment

The debate about payment in Mediumship is not new. Historically, some spiritual movements promoted the idea that Mediumship should be offered freely as a service to the community. The belief behind this perspective was that spiritual communication was sacred and therefore should not be associated with financial exchange.

However, history also shows that many respected Mediums were compensated for their work, particularly when they dedicated their lives to demonstrating Mediumship publicly. Even in the nineteenth century, Mediums who travelled to conduct demonstrations or private sittings often received payment for their time.

The tension between spiritual service and professional livelihood has existed ever since. Some people still believe that Mediumship should be offered entirely free of charge, while others recognise that professional practice requires structure and sustainability.

Time, Development And Discipline

One aspect that is often overlooked when discussing payment is the amount of time and discipline required to develop the abilities of a Psychic Medium. Mediumship is not simply a talent that appears fully formed. It requires years of development, self-awareness and practice.

Developing sensitivity to subtle impressions, learning to interpret information accurately, and maintaining emotional balance during demonstrations all require dedication. In addition to this personal development, there is also the time spent preparing for demonstrations, travelling to venues, organising bookings and maintaining professional standards.

When a Psychic Medium commits to working publicly, Mediumship becomes more than a personal interest. It becomes a profession that requires consistent effort and responsibility.

The Practical Reality Of Professional Mediumship

If a Psychic Medium performs demonstrations in theatres, travels to events, or provides structured private sessions, there are practical realities that cannot be ignored. Venues must be booked, travel must be arranged, and administrative work must be handled.

Many people who question whether Mediums should be paid may not realise that these practical responsibilities exist behind every demonstration. Just like any other professional service, the work involves preparation, organisation and time that extends far beyond the moments spent communicating with Spirit.

Payment for Mediumship, therefore, is not simply payment for the connection itself. It is compensation for the time, preparation and professional structure required to deliver the experience responsibly.

Kristian von Sponneck Facebook

The Difference Between Exploitation And Professionalism

The concern most often expressed about payment is the fear of exploitation. People worry that those who are grieving might be vulnerable and that charging money for Mediumship could take advantage of their emotional state. This is a valid concern and one that responsible Psychic Mediums must take seriously.

However, there is a clear difference between exploitation and professionalism. Exploitation occurs when someone makes exaggerated claims, promises guaranteed results or encourages dependency in order to generate financial gain. Professional Mediumship, on the other hand, operates within ethical boundaries.

A responsible Psychic Medium should never claim to be infallible or guarantee communication with a specific person in Spirit. Mediumship involves interpretation and therefore carries natural limitations. When payment is approached transparently and ethically, it reflects the value of time and expertise rather than manipulation.

Value In Spiritual Work

Another perspective worth considering is the concept of value. Many forms of work that provide emotional or spiritual support are compensated. Counsellors, therapists and coaches all provide services that involve helping people navigate emotional experiences, yet their work is recognised as professional.

Mediumship, when practised responsibly, can also provide emotional comfort and perspective. For some individuals, a meaningful Mediumship experience helps them process grief in ways they had not previously considered.

Recognising the value of this work does not diminish its spiritual dimension. Instead, it acknowledges that time and dedication deserve fair recognition.

Personal Responsibility As A Psychic Medium

As a Psychic Medium, I believe accountability is essential. Because I do not attribute my work to a spirit guide, I take responsibility for every interpretation I deliver. The information I share comes through my own awareness and intuitive perception, which means I must remain disciplined in how I present it.

This sense of responsibility extends to how Mediumship is offered professionally. Payment should never become the focus of the work itself. The focus must remain on delivering meaningful evidence of Spirit communication with clarity and respect.

When approached responsibly, financial exchange simply supports the structure that allows the work to continue.

Mediumship As A Full-Time Profession

For many Psychic Mediums, Mediumship eventually becomes more than a part-time interest. Demonstrations, events and private sessions may form the foundation of their professional life. When someone dedicates themselves fully to this work, it becomes unrealistic to expect them to provide it entirely without compensation.

Like any other profession, Mediumship requires time, training and continuous development. A Psychic Medium who works regularly must also manage the practical responsibilities that come with running a professional practice.

Payment allows the work to be sustained over time rather than remaining an occasional voluntary activity.

Public Demonstrations And Their Purpose

Public demonstrations of Mediumship serve an important role in helping people witness Spirit communication directly. These events require organisation, venue hire, technical equipment and promotion.

Ticket sales or event fees often support these logistical requirements. Without this structure, many public demonstrations would simply not be possible.

When audiences attend a Mediumship demonstration, they are not only witnessing Spirit communication but also participating in a shared experience that requires professional coordination.

Ethical Guidelines For Professional Mediums

While the debate about payment continues, many Psychic Mediums follow personal guidelines that help maintain integrity. These guidelines may include transparency about what Mediumship can and cannot guarantee, clear boundaries regarding the nature of sessions, and respect for the emotional state of those seeking communication.

Payment should never be linked to promises of specific outcomes. The responsibility of a Psychic Medium is to interpret the impressions they receive honestly, without embellishment or pressure.

Maintaining these ethical boundaries ensures that Mediumship remains grounded rather than sensationalised.

Why The Question Persists

The reason the question of payment continues to arise is because Mediumship exists at the intersection of spirituality and professional service. People often feel protective of spiritual traditions and worry that financial exchange may diminish their authenticity.

At the same time, society recognises the need for individuals to sustain themselves through their work. When these two perspectives meet, discussion becomes inevitable.

Rather than viewing the debate as a conflict, it can be seen as an opportunity to explore how Mediumship can remain both ethical and sustainable.

The Balance Between Service And Sustainability

The most productive way to approach this issue is to recognise the balance between service and sustainability. Mediumship can provide meaningful experiences for those who seek it, but the Psychic Medium delivering that experience must also maintain the practical structure that allows the work to continue.

Payment, when handled responsibly, supports that balance. It ensures that the Psychic Medium can dedicate the necessary time and energy to their development while continuing to offer their work professionally.

Conclusion

The question of whether Mediums should be paid for their work will likely continue to be debated for years to come. Different individuals will hold different views depending on their beliefs about spirituality, service and professional practice.

From my perspective as a Psychic Medium, payment is not about placing a price on spiritual connection. It is about recognising the time, dedication and responsibility involved in delivering Mediumship in a professional and accountable way.

Because I do not rely on a spirit guide and instead work through my own intuitive awareness, the responsibility for interpretation rests entirely with me. Maintaining the discipline required for that work demands time, focus and continual development.

When payment is approached ethically and transparently, it does not diminish Mediumship. Instead, it supports the structure that allows the work to continue responsibly, ensuring that those who seek connection with loved ones in Spirit can experience Mediumship delivered with integrity.

People are often surprised when I tell them that psychic ability isn’t rare, dramatic or exclusive to those of us who work professionally. Many people have natural psychic sensitivities without ever recognising them as such. As a psychic medium and psychic entertainer who works with audiences across the UK and abroad, I’ve watched countless people realise that the things they once dismissed as coincidence, intuition or “just a feeling” were actually signs of genuine psychic awareness.

Psychic ability doesn’t always appear as visions, voices or dramatic spiritual encounters. More often, it shows itself subtly, through emotional perception, heightened intuition, unusual awareness and an ability to read situations or people with remarkable accuracy. Below are nine signs that you might be more psychic than you think, written from my experience both on stage and in private mediumship work.

Heightened Intuition That Feels Different From Everyday Thinking

Most people have intuition, but psychic intuition feels stronger and cuts through noise instantly. It often arrives as a sudden knowing that doesn’t come from logic or deduction. You may find yourself recognising the truth of a situation before any evidence appears, or knowing the outcome of something long before it happens. This type of intuition carries weight. It feels calm, solid and certain, and it rarely turns out to be wrong. Psychic intuition doesn’t argue with you; it quietly informs you.

A Strong Sensitivity to Emotion and Atmosphere

If you walk into a room and instantly sense tension, sadness, excitement or something “off,” you are operating from a deeper level of awareness. Psychic individuals often absorb emotional information without anyone speaking. This isn’t the same as empathy, although empathy plays a role. Psychic emotional sensitivity feels more like atmospheric intelligence — reading the energy of a space, not just the people within it. When I stand on stage before beginning a show, I can feel the emotional temperature of the room instantly. Many people have this ability without ever realising it’s psychic perception.

Having Feelings or Thoughts That Turn Out to Be True

Psychic people frequently experience moments where a thought drops in without reason, only for that thought to be proven correct later. It might involve someone calling, something happening or a sudden awareness of someone’s emotional state before they’ve said a word. This isn’t guessing. It’s tuning into subtle energetic cues that others overlook. If you repeatedly “just know” things without explanation, you are not imagining it. You are accessing psychic information naturally.

Dreams That Feel More Real Than Dreams Should

Some dreams are symbolic or random, but psychic dreams feel distinctly different. They carry clarity, intensity and emotional resonance that lingers. You may dream about someone before they contact you, dream of events that later unfold or experience dreams where a loved one in Spirit appears with unmistakable presence. Psychic dreams have a vibrational quality that separates them from ordinary mental processing. Many mediums, myself included, had these dreams long before ever working psychically.

A Strong Reaction to People — Good or Bad — Without Reason

Psychic sensitivity often reveals itself through instinctual reactions to others. You may meet someone and know instantly that you trust them, or feel a clear sense of caution without any logical explanation. This isn’t judgement — it’s energetic recognition. Psychic individuals feel people before they understand them. In mediumship shows, this sensitivity helps me identify which audience members have Spirit communicators standing close to them. You may be doing the same in everyday life without realising it.

Experiencing Meaningful Coincidences Too Often to Ignore

Psychic people attract synchronicities. They may think of someone seconds before receiving a message, repeatedly see symbolic signs, or experience moments that line up with uncanny precision. Logic dismisses these as coincidence, but when they happen consistently, they point toward psychic alignment. Psychic ability often works quietly before it works loudly. Synchronicity is one of its earliest whispers.

Feeling the Presence of Loved Ones in Spirit

You may notice a sudden shift in atmosphere, a wave of emotion, a smell, a thought or a sensation that instantly reminds you of someone who has passed. Psychic individuals naturally tune into Spirit without trying. They feel the subtle energy shifts that others overlook. You might sense someone standing behind you, feel a sudden warmth or simply know you are not alone. This does not mean you are imagining things; it means your sensitivity is active.

A Deep Desire to Help Others Emotionally or Spiritually

Psychic sensitivity is often linked to emotional insight. Many psychic people gravitate toward helping roles — counselling, care, healing, or simply being the one friends turn to. You may feel other people’s pain almost as if it were your own. This isn’t just kindness; it is a psychic awareness of emotional states. Before I ever worked as a medium, my psychotherapy and trauma counselling work was heavily influenced by this same sensitivity. Psychic awareness manifests just as strongly in emotional understanding as it does in spiritual connection.

A Feeling That You Are “Different” Without Knowing Why

Many psychic individuals spend years sensing they are different — more aware, more observant, more emotionally perceptive. This feeling often goes unnoticed because there is nothing dramatic about it. It is subtle, ongoing and woven through everyday life. Psychic ability rarely announces itself with fireworks. It works quietly, shaping how you feel and how you see the world.

Conclusion: Psychic Ability Is a Spectrum, Not an On/Off Switch

If you recognise yourself in several of these signs, you may already be more psychic than you realise. Psychic ability is not a rare gift given to a chosen few. It exists on a spectrum, and most people have at least some degree of natural intuitive or psychic sensitivity. What separates working mediums from everyone else is not the ability itself, but the refinement, trust, discipline and practice involved in using it publicly or professionally.

Whether you use your psychic sensitivity privately or decide to develop it further, understanding these signs can help you recognise how naturally you already access intuitive and spiritual information. Psychic ability isn’t something you force — it’s something you notice, trust and allow.

Have you got one or more of the psychic senses? Understanding your natural intuition through a psychic medium’s perspective by Psychic Medium Kristian von Sponneck

Introduction: Psychic Senses Are More Common Than You Think

Many people assume that psychic senses are rare or reserved for mediums, but the truth is far more inclusive. Almost everyone has at least one psychic sense, and many people have several without realising it. As a working psychic medium who uses all of the main psychic senses every day, I’ve learned that these abilities are often subtle, natural and woven into daily life long before someone becomes aware of them. The psychic senses are not strange or supernatural. They are simply extensions of human intuition, expressed in different ways depending on how your awareness works.

Understanding What Psychic Senses Really Are

Psychic senses, often referred to as the “clairs,” are the intuitive channels through which Spirit, energy and awareness communicate. They are not external senses like sight or hearing but internal ones that work through perception, emotion and subtle awareness. People experience these senses in different ways. Some feel emotions that aren’t their own. Others pick up thoughts, images or sensations that appear without logic. Psychic senses develop naturally when you become aware of them, and they strengthen with use. As someone who works with all the psychic senses, I see firsthand how each one plays a unique role in mediumship and psychic communication.

Kristian von Sponneck Facebook

Clairvoyance: The Psychic Sense of Clear Seeing

Clairvoyance is one of the most recognised psychic senses and involves receiving intuitive images, symbols or visual impressions. These images may appear in the mind rather than as physical visuals. When I connect with Spirit, clairvoyance allows me to see memories, scenes, objects and facial features that help identify the communicator. Many people experience clairvoyance without realising it, often through vivid dreams, daydream-like images or strong visual intuition. If you’ve ever “seen” something in your mind before it happens or received a symbolic image that carries meaning, you may already be using your clairvoyant ability.

Clairaudience: The Psychic Sense of Clear Hearing

Clairaudience involves intuitive hearing, such as receiving words, names, phrases or sounds that seem to come from outside your normal thought process. In mediumship, this sense allows me to hear Spirit communicators present names, specific wording or audible impressions that help validate the connection. Clairaudience often appears as inner hearing rather than external sound, making it easy to mistake for imagination. But the difference lies in the feeling behind it. True clairaudient impressions arrive suddenly and clearly, often with a tone or emotional quality that feels distinct from your own inner voice.

Clairsentience: The Psychic Sense of Clear Feeling

Clairsentience is one of the strongest psychic senses people naturally possess. It involves feeling emotions, physical sensations or energetic impressions. In my work as a psychic medium, clairsentience allows me to feel the personality of the Spirit communicator, their emotional state and sometimes sensations relating to their life or passing. Many people with strong clairsentience describe themselves as empathetic, intuitive or sensitive to others’ emotions. This is often more than empathy. It can be a genuine psychic awareness that picks up energetic information from people, places or Spirit.

Claircognizance: The Psychic Sense of Clear Knowing

Claircognizance is the intuitive sense of simply “knowing” something without being told. It is a powerful psychic ability, often overlooked because it feels so natural. During readings, this sense gives me knowledge that arrives instantly, without emotion or imagery. It is the sense that Spirit uses when communication needs to be direct and clear. People with strong claircognizance often rely on instinct, make decisions quickly or sense truth before it is revealed. This psychic sense is subtle but incredibly accurate when trusted.

Clairgustance and Clairalience: The Psychic Senses of Taste and Smell

Though less common, clairgustance (psychic taste) and clairalience (psychic smell) also play a role in mediumship. These senses allow mediums to taste or smell something connected to the Spirit communicator, such as a favourite food, a familiar perfume or a scent associated with their work or lifestyle. I have experienced these senses in readings when Spirit wants to bring strong validation through something highly recognisable to the sitter. These psychic senses often appear briefly but powerfully, and they add richness to Spirit communication.

How to Recognise Your Own Psychic Senses

Recognising whether you have one or more psychic senses begins with awareness. Most people dismiss their intuitive impressions because they assume they are emotional sensitivity, coincidence or imagination. But psychic senses rarely arrive dramatically. They speak quietly at first, through gentle nudges, sudden thoughts or unexpected sensations. If you have ever walked into a room and instantly sensed the atmosphere, known something without explanation or felt a sudden emotion that didn’t belong to you, you may already be using your psychic senses. Developing mediumship starts with recognising these small moments and allowing yourself to trust them.

Using Multiple Psychic Senses in Mediumship

As a psychic medium, I use all the psychic senses together rather than individually. Spirit communicates in layers, blending visual, emotional, mental and sensory impressions into a single message. Clairvoyance may show me an image while clairsentience gives me the emotional meaning behind it. Clairaudience may offer a name or phrase, while claircognizance delivers the message’s purpose instantly. The psychic senses do not compete with one another; they work together to form a clear line of communication. This blending is what allows mediumship to become accurate, detailed and emotionally validating.

Strengthening Your Psychic Senses Through Awareness and Trust

Your psychic senses strengthen naturally when you pay attention to them. Trust plays a significant role. Many people receive intuitive impressions but immediately question or dismiss them. Mediumship requires trust in subtle awareness. The more you allow your psychic senses to speak, the stronger they become. There is no forcing, no pressure and no need for dramatic techniques. Psychic senses unfold over time through openness, sensitivity and consistency. Whether you have one psychic sense or several, each one is a doorway into deeper intuition and spiritual connection.

Conclusion: Your Psychic Senses Are the Key to Connection

If you are wondering whether you have one or more psychic senses, the answer is almost always yes. Everyone possesses intuitive abilities, and many are already using them without realising it. As a psychic medium who works with all the psychic senses, I know how powerful and transformative they can be when developed and understood. Whether you are exploring mediumship or simply trying to make sense of your intuition, your psychic senses are your guide. They help you navigate energy, emotion and Spirit with clarity and connection. Mediumship begins with awareness, and your intuitive senses are the bridge that allows the Spirit world to communicate through you.

What is Psychometry? By Kristian von Sponneck, Medium and Psychic Entertainer

What is Psychometry? By Kristian von Sponneck, Medium and Psychic Entertainer | Beyond Mediumship

Psychometry – My Specialty

What is Psychometry?: Psychometry is one of the most fascinating aspects of psychic work, both to perform and to witness. At its core, it is the ability to sense or receive impressions about a person, place, or situation by holding or touching an object that has been closely connected to them. The belief is that objects absorb and hold onto the energy of those who use or carry them. A watch, a ring, a locket, even something as everyday as a set of keys—these items often hold far more than their material value. They carry memories, emotions, and traces of experience.

When I perform psychometry, I quiet my conscious thoughts and allow impressions to come forward. These impressions might come in the form of images, words, emotions, or a sudden inner knowing that doesn’t come from logic but from tuning into the energy of the object. To the person watching, it can feel like I’m reading their life through something as ordinary as a bracelet or hotel keycard. To me, it feels like stepping into a story already written into the fabric of the item itself.

A Wedding Reception in Portsmouth

One of the most memorable recent occasions where I demonstrated psychometry was at a wedding reception in Portsmouth. Amidst the celebrations, laughter, and music, I was invited to perform for the guests. Weddings already carry such strong emotional energy—joy, nostalgia, family bonds—so psychometry felt especially fitting for that night.

I asked guests if they would lend me small personal items. Some offered rings and necklaces, while others handed over watches, wallets, and even a hotel keycard. Holding each item, I began to describe the impressions I received. For one guest, I sensed strong emotions of determination and resilience, and they later admitted they had just overcome a major challenge in their life. For another, I saw images of seaside holidays, which turned out to be a family tradition they had cherished since childhood.

The reactions were priceless. Some people laughed with delight, others became visibly moved, and many were left wide-eyed in astonishment. Soon, a queue formed as guests eagerly wanted to see what their belongings might reveal. In a room already alive with celebration, psychometry created a ripple of connection and amazement, making the evening even more unforgettable.

It is in moments like these—when strangers are drawn together through shared wonder—that psychometry truly shines. At the Portsmouth wedding reception, it wasn’t just entertainment; it became an experience people talked about long into the night.

Kristian von Sponneck Facebook

How Psychometry Works

So, how does psychometry work? While everyone has their own explanation, my perspective is that every object retains an energetic residue. The longer or more intimately it has been used, the stronger that imprint becomes. A wedding band worn every day for decades, for instance, will be saturated with the love, challenges, and milestones of a marriage.

When I hold an item, I open myself to receive information through my psychic senses:

Clairvoyance – seeing images, symbols, or visions connected to the owner’s life.

Clairaudience – hearing words, phrases, or sounds in my inner ear.

Clairsentience – feeling emotions or physical sensations tied to the object.

Claircognizance – an inner knowing that surfaces without explanation.

I then share what comes through, and more often than not, the details resonate deeply with the person. Sometimes it’s something light and fun—a personality trait or a quirk. Other times, it touches on meaningful moments, relationships, or challenges. Each experience is unique, just like the object and person it is connected to.

Why Psychometry Captures People’s Imagination

Psychometry resonates with people because it feels so personal. Unlike other demonstrations that may feel broad or general, psychometry involves their own object—something they carry close every day or that has special significance. The idea that a ring, a watch, or even a house key can reveal something hidden about you is both fascinating and deeply moving.

This is why psychometry always sparks conversation. After I demonstrate it at an event, people inevitably start reflecting on the objects they own and the memories tied to them. It raises questions: What story does my wedding ring carry? What energy lingers in my grandmother’s brooch? What emotions are stored in my old guitar or favourite book?

It reminds us that our lives leave imprints not just on people, but on the very things we hold dear.

Psychometry at My Shows

Because of its unique impact, I make psychometry a regular feature at my shows. Whether I’m working at a wedding reception, a private party, or a theatre event, I find psychometry creates moments that people remember long afterwards.

It’s interactive, deeply personal, and never the same twice. One object might open the door to a lighthearted story that fills the room with laughter, while another might uncover something touching and profound. Either way, it connects directly with the audience in a way that few other demonstrations can.

At the Portsmouth wedding reception, for example, it wasn’t just the bride and groom who created memories—it was the guests too, each taking part in a shared moment of mystery and wonder.

Final Thoughts

Psychometry is more than a performance technique; it’s a way of experiencing the unseen. Objects carry energy, and that energy tells stories. To me, it is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as a psychic medium and entertainer.

When I perform psychometry, I never quite know what will surface, and that is part of the magic. Each item is a mystery waiting to be unlocked, each impression a reminder that our lives are written not just in memory but in the very things we carry with us.

If you’ve never seen psychometry before, I invite you to experience it at one of my shows. Whether at a wedding reception, private gathering, or a larger theatre event, psychometry always adds something unforgettable. It is one of my specialties, and it continues to amaze and inspire not just those watching, but myself as well.

So, How Do You Spot One?

How to spot a fake psychic: The world of psychic readings has always been a blend of fascination, curiosity, and sometimes scepticism. With the rise of social media, online booking platforms, and instant messaging apps,  How to Spot a Fake Psychic | Kristian von Sponneck psychic services are now more accessible than ever before. This accessibility is a double-edged sword: while it has allowed authentic psychics and mediums to reach people across the globe, it has also opened the door to those who exploit trust and vulnerability.

I often meet people who come to me for a reading after having a disappointing or even traumatic experience with a so-called psychic. They describe feeling misled, pressured, or left in fear. Others walk away questioning whether all psychics are fakes. That’s why I believe it’s important to talk openly about this topic. A few bad apples shouldn’t define an entire field of work that, when done with honesty and compassion, can genuinely bring clarity, comfort, and healing.

So how do you protect yourself? How do you tell the difference between a genuine psychic and someone putting on an act? Let’s take a deep dive into the warning signs of a fake psychic, along with comparisons to how authentic practitioners work.

They Promise 100% Accuracy

A fake psychic might say things like:

“I can tell you exactly what will happen and when.”

“Everything I predict always comes true.”

This sounds appealing, but it’s simply not realistic. Genuine psychics — myself included — know that readings are never 100% certain. Why? Because life is shaped by free will. The choices you make today can change tomorrow’s outcome.

The difference:

A fake offers certainty and guarantees.

A real psychic offers insight, guidance, and possibilities, leaving space for your own choices.

They Use Fear to Control You

One of the most damaging tactics is the “fear hook.” A fake psychic might say:

“You have a curse on you, but I can remove it for £300.”

“There’s a dark energy around you, and unless you book weekly sessions, it will destroy your future.”

This is psychological manipulation. It preys on vulnerability, often during times of grief, heartbreak, or confusion.

The difference:

A fake creates fear and then sells you the solution.

A real psychic may acknowledge challenges or difficult energies, but they do so in a way that empowers you, not terrifies you.

They Rely on Fishing or Research

There are two common methods here:

Cold Reading: Making vague guesses like “You’ve been hurt in the past” or “There’s a man in spirit with the letter J”. These are generic statements that could apply to almost anyone. The fake watches your reactions and adjusts their “insights.”

Hot Reading: Using information they’ve looked up online or gathered from your booking details. For example, if you booked through Facebook, they may have scanned your profile and are now repeating facts as if they’ve “seen” them psychically.

The difference:

A fake relies on research or guesswork.

A real psychic doesn’t need to trawl your social media. Our work flows naturally from what we sense, see, or hear in the moment.

They Tell You Only What You Want to Hear

Let’s be honest: it feels nice to be told everything will be perfect, your ex will definitely come back, and your bank account will soon overflow. But if a reading sounds too much like wish fulfilment, it might not be genuine.

The difference:

A fake flatters you endlessly and avoids uncomfortable truths.

A real psychic balances compassion with honesty. Sometimes a message is challenging, but it’s shared with care, never cruelty.

They Keep Pushing for More Money

This might look like:

Sudden price increases mid-session.

Suggesting you must book multiple sessions to “unlock” results.

Offering expensive add-ons (amulets, cleansings, or “special spells”) as the only way forward.

The difference:

A fake uses high-pressure sales tactics.

A real psychic is clear about fees upfront. You pay for the time and service agreed — nothing more, nothing hidden.

They Lack Transparency

Ask a psychic how they work, and you should get a clear answer. If someone is evasive, vague, or refuses to explain their approach, that’s a red flag.

The difference:

A fake hides behind mystery, often to avoid accountability.

A real psychic explains their process, sets clear boundaries (for example, not giving medical or financial advice), and often includes disclaimers.

They Make “Too Good to Be True” Claims

Promises of lottery numbers, miracle healings, or instant wealth are classic signs of a scam. Spiritual work doesn’t operate like a slot machine.

The difference:

A fake offers quick fixes and guarantees.

A real psychic helps you explore possibilities, patterns, and guidance, but never claims to bend reality to your will.

How a Genuine Psychic Reading Feels

To balance the picture, let me share what you should expect from a real reading.

Clarity, not confusion: You leave with insight you can reflect on, not a fog of fear.

Empowerment, not dependence: You feel stronger and more confident, not trapped into endless bookings.

Compassion, not manipulation: Even if a message is tough, it’s given with respect and care.

Honesty, not perfection: A real psychic will admit they don’t know everything and that free will shapes outcomes.

Why This Matters

Fake psychics don’t just cost people money — they erode trust in a profession that, when authentic, can truly support healing, closure, and growth. As an unguided psychic medium, I work without a spirit guide, relying solely on my clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance. I believe strongly in integrity: no fear tactics, no wild promises, no hidden costs.

When people come to me after being exploited, they often carry shame, anger, and disappointment. I remind them: being deceived does not mean you were foolish — it means you trusted. And trust is a beautiful quality. The responsibility lies with the person who abused it, not you.

How to Spot a Fake Psychic – Final Thoughts

There will always be sceptics who argue that all psychics are fake. I understand why — the actions of dishonest individuals create doubt. But just as there are dishonest doctors, therapists, or mechanics, it doesn’t mean the entire field is false.

By learning the signs, you can protect yourself from scams and find those who work with authenticity. Remember: a genuine psychic leaves you with clarity, comfort, and empowerment — never fear, dependency, or pressure.

Are Psychic Abilities Real?

So, Do Psychic Abilities Really Exist?

Are psychic abilities real, It’s a question that has been asked for centuries, whispered in curiosity, shouted in scepticism, and contemplated in moments of quiet reflection: Are psychic abilities real?  Are Psychic Abilities Real? | Kristian von Sponneck

It’s a question I encounter often in my work as a psychic medium. Some people ask with open curiosity, wanting to know if there truly is “something more.” Others ask with doubt, expecting me to stumble or defend myself. And some ask with quiet hope, because deep down, they want the answer to be yes.

The reality is this: the question of whether psychics are real is not simple. It’s layered with history, science, belief, scepticism, personal experience, and cultural influence. But I’ll share my perspective honestly—because this is not only a philosophical or spiritual question for me, it’s the life I live every day.

What Do We Mean by “Psychic”?

The word psychic carries many associations. To some, it means fortune-tellers with crystal balls and vague predictions. To others, it means scam artists preying on grief. For many, it suggests something strange, mystical, or outside of normal human experience.

But let’s strip it back. The word psychic comes from the Greek psykhikos, meaning of the mind or of the soul. At its core, being psychic means perceiving information beyond the five physical senses. It’s not about theatrics, but about awareness—awareness of energy, thought, emotion, and possibility.

Psychic ability can show up in different ways, often called the clairs:

Clairvoyance – clear seeing; receiving images, visions, or inner pictures.

Clairaudience – clear hearing; perceiving words, voices, or sounds.

Clairsentience – clear feeling; sensing emotions or physical sensations not your own.

Claircognizance – clear knowing; sudden awareness of truth without logical explanation.

For me, these senses are not abstract—they’re practical tools I use when I quiet my mind and open myself to intuition. They’re how I receive the information I share, whether in private readings, group sessions, or on stage.

Kristian von Sponneck Facebook

We Are All Psychic

Here’s something important: psychic ability isn’t exclusive to a chosen few. We are all psychic.

Think about your own life:

Have you ever thought of someone just before they called you?

Have you walked into a room and instantly felt tension, even before anyone spoke?

Have you had a “gut feeling” about something that later proved true?

Did you, as a child, have an “imaginary friend” that felt a little too real?

Most people dismiss these moments as coincidence or imagination. But I see them as glimpses of the natural psychic awareness within us all.

The difference between myself and many others is simple: I never shut it down. As a child, I noticed things others didn’t—the sights, sounds, feelings, and whispers of intuition. I didn’t ignore them. I listened. Over time, that awareness became my life’s work.

So, when someone asks me if psychics are real, my answer is always: yes—and so are you.

Why Scepticism Exists

Of course, not everyone agrees. And honestly? I understand why.

For every genuine psychic, there are many who exploit belief. Fake psychics have existed throughout history—those who use trickery, manipulation, or fear to make money. Cold reading, vague statements, or researching clients beforehand are common tactics for frauds. And sadly, their behaviour damages the reputation of those who work with integrity.

This is why scepticism is healthy. It reminds us to question, to test, and to demand honesty. I welcome scepticism. What I don’t welcome is closed-minded cynicism—the kind that refuses to even consider experience outside its worldview.

As I often tell people: if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of anyone who promises guaranteed results, miracle solutions, or who pressures you into repeat sessions out of fear. Real psychic work does not operate this way.

Psychic vs. Medium

Another common point of confusion is the difference between a psychic and a medium.

A psychic tunes into the energy of people, places, and situations. They read emotions, patterns, relationships, and possibilities.

A medium goes further, connecting with spirit—those who have passed on—to bring messages of love, reassurance, and guidance.

I work as both, but I call myself an unguided medium. That means I don’t work through a spirit guide, as many do. Instead, I connect directly, relying only on my psychic senses. My work is direct, honest, and clear—I don’t embellish, dramatise, or speak in riddles.

A Historical Perspective

Belief in psychics isn’t new—it’s part of human culture. Across history and around the world, seers, shamans, prophets, and visionaries have been consulted in times of uncertainty.

In Ancient Greece, the Oracle of Delphi was sought for guidance by rulers and warriors.

In Norse traditions, völvas (seers) offered prophecies and spiritual counsel.

Celtic druids, indigenous shamans, and mystics from every continent have fulfilled similar roles.

In 19th-century America, the Fox Sisters helped spark the Spiritualist movement, which spread worldwide and continues today.

While scepticism has always existed, so too has the human need to reach beyond the ordinary for meaning, guidance, and reassurance.

Science and Psychology

From a scientific viewpoint, “are psychic abilities real?” is notoriously difficult to prove. Laboratories demand repeatable, controlled results, yet psychic phenomena don’t always appear on command. They flow with subtlety, not like a light switch.

Parapsychology has studied telepathy, remote viewing, and precognition for decades. Some experiments show results beyond chance. Others don’t. The debate continues.

Psychology offers its own explanations:

Heightened empathy or sensitivity.

Subconscious observation of body language and micro-expressions.

The brain’s pattern recognition abilities.

Some say that’s all psychic ability is. For me, those explanations are part of it—but not all of it. The truth, I believe, is bigger. Science doesn’t yet have the language to fully describe psychic perception. Just as lightning was once considered mystical before physics explained it, I believe psychic ability is part of human experience we don’t yet fully understand.

Ethics in Psychic Work

Psychic work deals with vulnerable emotions—grief, loss, love, and hope. That means it carries responsibility. Ethics matter.

I am clear about what I don’t offer:

Medical diagnosis.

Legal or financial predictions.

Guaranteed outcomes.

Healing of any kind.

Communication with pets.

Free or exploitative readings.

What I do offer is a safe, respectful, and honest connection. I communicate exactly what I receive—directly, clearly, and without embellishment. I hold space with compassion, while reminding people that spiritual support should never replace medical, psychological, or practical help.

My Personal Experience

This is not theory for me. It’s my daily reality.

Since childhood, I have seen, heard, and felt what others did not. Over the years, through thousands of readings and demonstrations, I have shared information I could not possibly have known. I’ve seen how a message from a loved one in spirit can bring comfort to the grieving. I’ve witnessed laughter and tears when someone realises they are still connected to the person they thought they had lost.

For me, these moments are too frequent, too precise, and too healing to dismiss. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I know this: what I experience is real. And the impact it has on people is undeniable.

So… Are Psychic Abilities Real?

From where I stand, the answer is yes.

But not always in the way people expect. It isn’t about fortune-telling or magical powers. It isn’t about theatrics. It’s about awareness, intuition, connection, and sensitivity.

And it isn’t limited to a chosen few—it’s something we all carry. Some ignore it, some forget it, and some, like me, devote their lives to developing it.

Final Thoughts

The question “are psychic abilities real?” is really another question in disguise: Is there more to life than what I can see and touch?

I don’t ask anyone to believe blindly. Healthy scepticism is important. But I encourage curiosity too. Test it for yourself. Notice your own intuition. Remember the small moments where logic fails but instinct proves right.

Because ultimately, the best way to answer the question is not through argument, but through experience.

So, are psychic abilities real?
Yes. They always have been. And whether you realise it or not—you are one too.
