There are many questions and a lot of confusion as to whether there is a difference between a regular psychic reading and psychic medium reading. In fact, most people think that both methods are the same. Well, they are not. A psychic reading and a psychic medium reading are two concepts that have some characteristics that are alike, but they are not technically the same.

A psychic medium is a person with the unique ability to communicate with those who have passed over the veil unto the next life. These type of psychics can summon spirits of those who have passed on by proper energy channeling. A psychic medium has the special power to bridge the gap of communication of the spirits from the after life, and the loved ones on Earth, by acting as a medium for there messages. This is one very unique skill of a psychic medium -- the bridging of the realm of living mortals and the spirit world.

A psychic medium can also ask a person's spirit guide for a message, advice, or guidance for the person they are doing a reading for. Each person has their own spirit guides. These spirit guides can bring healing and sense of closure to a person's sorrow or pain.

People can seek a psychic medium to communicate with the spirits of loved one who has passed on. But also, people seek a psychic medium because a psychic medium can also give them a sneak peak of the future.

Now, if a psychic medium reading can also give you a preview of what is come, what difference does a psychic reading have? This is where the confusion comes in. To understand better, let us state the similarities of a psychic medium reading and a psychic reading, and then state its differences.

Yes, psychics can interpret past, present, and future. On the other hand, a psychic medium aside from knowing the past, present, and future, can communicate with spirits from the afterlife. In addition to this, these psychic mediums can incorporate the insights of your spirit guide and loved ones who have passed away, in the interpretation of your reading.

In the most basic sense, let us draw the line between a psychic medium reading and a psychic reading. The key to knowing the difference is that you have to enumerate what each approach can and cannot do. Yes, both can give you guidance; but then -- psychic medium readings can give you more insights.

The much better option is for you to decide whats best for you. It is common knowledge that most of these psychics are clairsentient, clairaudient, and clairvoyant. These are their special abilities which allow them to do a psychic reading. But take note, not all psychics have the special gift of mediumship, that is why a psychic medium is considered to be very talented, because only a few are blessed with the power of mediumship.
