What is the difference between a Psychic and a Medium?

Both are sensitive and obtain information through the medium of their aura that is not available to those who are less sensitive. The aura is an energy field that surrounds the physical body and it reflects the condition of the individual, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is the centre of everyone’s ability to sense in general. When you sense someone approaching you from the rear but you cannot actually see or hear them, it is the aura that ‘tells’ you they are there. Primitive man could survive in a very hostile environment because he was able to sense threatening things happening all around him, even if he couldn’t see or hear a particular threat. The aura in early man must have been highly developed but with the onset of ‘civilisation’ we have come to rely less and less on its ‘early warning’ system. However, even today, we can all recall occasions when meeting another person for the first time, we have suddenly realised we are going to like them very much or alternatively, dislike them. This is before we know anything about them.

Because the aura reflects the whole person, mind, body and spirit, it can and is used to communicate ‘hidden’ information to the conscious mind. What do I mean by ‘hidden’ information? Information contained in the aura of another person, an object, a building or, if the individual processing the ‘hidden’ information has a gift of mediumship, from a communicator in the spiritual world. Such information is ‘hidden’ because ordinary people are just not aware that it is there. For instance, a sensitive psychic with the ability to ‘read’ the aura can tell as soon as they attune themselves to the individual, if that person is sick. Even if an illness is in its early stages it will show up as a dark area in the person’s aura and with regular practice the psychic can determine which part of the body is affected. To a gifted psychic, the aura is similar to a ticker tape. He or she can run the tape through their hands, as it were, and read off from it all the information it contains and that can be a great deal.

Psychics and mediums are taught to expand their auras at will. When the aura is expanded, the medium or psychic becomes super-sensitive to everything around him or her. In the case of the medium he will then be able to receive information either from his spiritual guide or helper, or direct from the spirit relative or friend of his client.

Both mediums and psychics are able to collect information from their sitter or client’s aura but only the medium is able to communicate with someone in the spiritual world. The medium has to learn by constant practice, the difference in feeling between information being picked up from the client’s aura and that being communicated by a person from the spiritual world. Only when they are confident in their ability to do this can they be truly honest in the practice of their mediumship. It is unfortunately the case that many psychics and mediums, because they know no better, frequently pass off information received from their client’s aura, as coming from the spiritual world.
