Historical Aspects Of San Diego Mediums

By Jason Butler


While Sylvia Browne, John Edwards and others are often well known and trusted, many still remain skeptical of these and other psychics. Although, usually when a medium calls upon an individual with information no one else would know, belief often grows. As a result, San Diego mediums, palm readers, psychics and tarot card readers have now become popular.

While some psychics prefer to work more in these basic areas, others prefer more advanced opportunities such as working as a medium. Whereas, there are many whom deal in all aspects of the supernatural. These practices include alchemy, paranormal research, mediumship and psychic powers.

One reason for the current and ongoing skepticism is the disbelief which began during the same historical period. A period when many individuals committed fraudulent readings by using magic rather than any form of spiritual communication. As a result, those most effected by this lack of credibility are those having worked or now working in the area of Mediumship.

While there have been several scientific studies, most have ascertained that it is impossible to prove psychic ability. As a result, whether famous or lesser known, these individuals often have to include a personal message from the other side to prove such claims. For example, John and Sylvia often offer information that only audience members could know about the individual with which one is attempting to communicate.

There are also a number of ghost oriented shows in which paranormal researchers claim to talk to spirits. In general, there are several ways this can take place. For example, the medium can invoke a spirit in which the spirit then takes over the physical aspect, including voice to communicate with those in the physical world. In other cases, the psychic individual will receive messages, then pass this information on to a client.

While rare, there are occasions where spirits has been known to appear as an apparition including a voice along with the ability to move items. One of the most common places for this type of occurrence is during a seance. A seance is a spiritual gathering where a psychic and others gather to directly call upon an individual who has passed on.

Considered a spiritual more than religious practice, Mediumship is associated with several different religions and belief systems. Some of these include New Age, Paganism, Umbanda, Voodoo, Spiritualism, Spiritism and Candomble. When it comes to beliefs in Christianity, these individuals often look at this and similar practices as being evil, or related to the devil. Whereas, many Catholics often believe these entities to be demons rather than spirits trapped in the physical world.

While some remain skeptical, these individuals have helped a number of people overcome grief and loss over the years. For, whether real or imagined, the solace these individuals provide by allowing audience members or clients to commune with lost loved ones is often beneficial. After which, many of these individuals go on to live far more fulfilling lives. For, after having had the chance to communicate between worlds, many can eliminate any guilt which had prevented one from doing so up until the point of such communication.
