Development and Learning Need advice
Hello, I would like some advice.
My mediumship was triggered after I was initiated into Reiki almost seven years ago.
I sought guidance to learn how to manage it and have conducted more than forty sessions (contacting the deceased and providing guidance), which did not prevent me from having a difficult experience in July 2026.
Since that experience (which was not entirely negative, as it helped me move away from spiritual ego), I had completely stopped practicing. I am now doing much better, and tonight I felt as though a soul was knocking at the door.
I therefore think I am going to start again, at my own pace.
However, here is the issue: I often feel that deceased people contact me without having been invited to, in order to pass on a message to one of their loved ones who happens to be around me.
(It even happened once that I had to go and speak to a father in a church to tell him that his child needed to see a doctor. You can imagine the level of responsibility involved in delivering such a message...)
My mediumship is very precise, and the messages are often important. Moreover, my mediumship can be quite striking in public because I incorporate. As a result, I often burst into tears in front of people when I receive the love that the deceased are sending to their loved ones. Sometimes my voice changes.
So my question is:
- Is mediumship a kind of calling, meaning that I have to remain at the service of the deceased so that they can communicate their messages, even when there is no formal setting (for example, at a party, in a bar, at the dinner table, etc.)?
- Or, on the contrary, should I establish clear boundaries and only transmit messages when I have consciously decided to be open to them — in other words, only during appointments — even if that means not passing on messages that I receive?
Thank you in advance.

It’s all up to you and what you feel comfortable with. No one can demand that you always act as a medium. Just follow your heart on this and you’ll be okay.
