Why Do I Feel Blocked in My Mediumship (and How to Unblock Instantly)

-

If you’ve been developing your mediumship and suddenly feel like Spirit has ghosted you (pun very much intended), I want you to know this: you have not gone backward, and Spirit hasn’t abandoned you (even though it might feel that way).

One of the most common frustrations I hear from students is:

“I feel blocked,  like I'm not getting anything anymore.”

Sound familiar?

One week your readings are flowing, and the next week it’s crickets (my mentor barred this phrase from our classes, I used it that much)!

But honestly, Spirit never switches off. We do.

The good news?

It’s easier to reset than you think.


1. Recognise the Trigger

Most blocks come from fear: fear of being wrong, fear of judgment, fear of “making it up.” These fears creep in silently and can feel like someone’s pulled the plug on your connection.

👉 Reframe it: Instead of thinking “I’m blocked,” try “It’s not about me, I’m here to be a voice for Spirit.” That simple shift makes it less about you and more about serving Spirit.


2. Check Your Nervous System

Here’s something most teachers don’t tell you: your nervous system plays a huge role in mediumship.

If you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or carrying unprocessed trauma, your body goes into protection mode. And when your system is in fight-or-flight, connection gets patchy.

As a trauma-informed mentor, I see this all the time.

It’s not Spirit rejecting you;  it’s your body needing safety before opening up again.

👉 Tip: Notice how your body feels before a reading. Are your shoulders tight? Is your stomach in knots? If yes, regulate first, then connect.


3. Do a 60-Second Reset

You don’t need an hour-long ritual to reset. Try this instead:

  1. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose. Exhale slowly through your mouth.

  2. Bring to mind a memory that makes you smile — maybe your child’s laugh, your favourite song, or a sunny walk on the beach.

  3. Let that feeling flood your body.

  4. Hold onto it for a few breaths until you feel lighter.

This technique grounds your nervous system and raises your vibration instantly.

When you feel safe, Spirit can flow through again.


4. Reframe the Block

Instead of spiralling into “I’ve lost it!” remind yourself: blocks are recalibrations.

Think of it like your phone buffering while it updates. Spirit hasn’t gone anywhere; your system is just aligning to hold a clearer connection.

👉 Mantra: “I am never disconnected. Spirit is always here. I am simply aligning.”


FAQs

What if I’ve been stuck for months?
That doesn’t mean you’ve lost your gift. It simply means you need fresh tools to help your body feel safe again. Sometimes just learning a new way of connecting reignites the spark.


What if I get anxious when I sit to connect?
That’s normal. Try the 60-second reset before you sit, and remind yourself you’re in control. Spirit works with you.


Do I need to meditate daily to stay unblocked?
Not at all. If meditation works for you, great. But what really matters is regulating your emotions and keeping your energy grounded in your day-to-day life, getting curious about the limiting beliefs that might be coming up. 


Final Thoughts

Blocks aren’t failures; they’re invitations.

Every “block” is Spirit’s way of nudging you towards deeper healing, greater awareness, and stronger trust in yourself.

Can Anyone Become a Medium? The Truth Behind What Mediumship Really Is

-

Have you ever wondered if mediumship is something you’re either born with… or whether it’s something you can actually learn ? I used to ask myself the exact same thing. As a teenager, I’d watch John Edward on Crossing Over and think, “Wow, I wish I could do that.” I honestly believed mediumship was for the gifted, the “chosen ones.” Spoiler alert: It’s not. Many people come into their Mediumship abilities later in life, often when they lose a loved one. This is exactly what happened to me, so yes, you absolutely can become a medium if you feel called to it.

Is It Spirit or My Imagination? How to Tell the Difference When You’re Developing Mediumship

-
One of the most common questions I get from beginner mediums is: “How do I know if it’s Spirit or just my imagination?” If you’ve ever felt like you’re playing a game of tug-of-war between your heart and your head, you are not alone. I’ve been there, and every developing Medium has been there too. The truth is, second-guessing is part of the journey. It’s not a sign you’re doing it wrong; it’s actually a sign you’re starting to wake up to the subtle differences between Spirit communication and your mind chatter. And once you know how to feel the difference, your confidence will skyrocket. Let’s dive into some practical tools to help you figure it out. 1. Notice the Feel Spirit communication feels different in the body. When Spirit drops in, there’s often a sense of calm, stillness, or certainty. You might feel goosebumps, a tingle, or warmth in your chest. It feels solid , like it just “lands.” Imagination, on the other hand, often feels lighter, flimsier, or fleeting. It comes in as ...

These questions come up all the time in my masterclasses. Let’s break this down in a straightforward, no-fluff way, shall we? (Because that’s how we roll around here!) 🔮 What Is Psychic Ability? Being psychic simply means tuning into the energy of the person or situation in front of you. You’re connecting with someone’s aura , their energy field , and their life experience – past, present, or even potential future events. It’s like being a spiritual detective – but the clues are in the vibes, feelings, and impressions you pick up on from the other person’s field. So… What Can You “See” Psychically? Emotions they’re holding Decisions they’re weighing up Patterns they might not even be aware of yet Potential futures (based on current energies) Insights about places or situations (yes –...
