How Does Mediumship Work? Mediumship Development

Yoshie Miakoda, PhD

Many people who are drawn to mediumship ask an important and often unanswered question: How does mediumship actually work?

Mediumship is frequently described in ways that feel mystical or abstract, which can leave students unclear about what is truly happening during spirit communication. In reality, mediumship is a structured and relational process that takes place within the medium’s own field of awareness.

In this video, I explore the dynamics of mediumship and energy awareness using a visual model. I explain the difference between psychic and mediumistic links, how communication with discarnate souls is intentionally established, what blending really means, and how clarity is maintained through regulation and structure rather than openness alone. I also address the role of spirit guides and how multiple spirit communicators can be present within the medium’s field without creating overwhelm.

This explanation is intended for those who want a grounded, ethical, and developmentally sound understanding of mediumship, especially individuals who are learning to discern their own experiences with greater clarity.

I hope this explanation is helpful, and I look forward to continuing this exploration in future teachings.
