A medium is a bridge between the two worlds - this one and the next. 

Everybody is psychic - we all have hunches and have drawn on intuition to guide us when we're in trouble or have a difficult decision to make. 

Whether we retain these psychic abilities depends on how much we use them - practice makes perfect! 
We're all born intutitive and if we remain open and are sensitive to others we can all connect with spirit. 

A medium's true role is to give evidence of life after death - a description of a loved one, names, personal information and memory links all help to identify the spirit communicating during a reading. 

All mediums are psychic but not all psychics are mediums.  Psychics are sensitive to the energies that emanate from their surroundings and from those energies they can tell all about a persons physical and emotional wellbeing and can offer help and advice about any problems or decisions.  However, a medium or psychic must NEVER make another persons decision for them - we must remember we all have free will!
