You’ve booked an appointment with a medium for a channeling session. Naturally, you’re feeling excited! Well — most people do, even those who have experience with the spirit world.

To help you enter your reading feeling calm and centred, here are five steps to prepare for your session with the medium. Good preparation creates the right energetic space, allowing messages to be received clearly and effectively.

1. Clarify Your Intentions

Before your session, ask yourself: Why exactly am I doing this? What is my intention, and what do I hope to get from this appointment?

Are you seeking contact with a departed loved one to support your grieving process? Do you wish to receive life guidance? Or are you looking for insights to encourage the best growth of your soul?

If you book a session with me, please let me know in advance whether you want a contact with the spirit world or if you would prefer to receive information for your soul’s journey (a spiritual assessment).

2. Create Good Energy for the Connection

It’s really helpful to clear your energy before a medium session — a bit like an internal spring-clean. Fun fact: Physically tidying your living space often has the same effect energetically — cleaning doesn’t just refresh your environment, it also refreshes you.

If your session is in person, the medium will prepare the right atmosphere for you — airing the room, burning incense or sage, meditations — all this helps create the right space.

If your session is online, make sure you’re in a comfortable, cosy, and appropriate place where you won’t be disturbed during the session.

3. Prepare Your Questions

Of course, you can visualise how you’d like the session to go beforehand. If you have wishes or questions, you can share them with the spirit world. If your questions serve your highest good, they will be answered — I promise.

If you’re having a contact with a spirit, you may wish to connect with a specific soul. However, the medium can’t guarantee this (see point 4).

You can also prepare questions for an aura reading, such as “What does my soul need right now?” or “What is my soul’s purpose?”

Questions that empower you are especially valuable for a deep channeling session.

4. Be Open and Curious

Even if you have prepared questions or wishes, try to release your expectations!

The universe wants to help you become the best version of yourself. The path to this may not always look the way you expect.

Have you ever had an experience that initially felt awful but later turned out to be a blessing? That’s exactly how messages and help from the spirit world sometimes are. We frequently only recognise how important and helpful they were in hindsight.

The more open you are, the more you’ll gain from your channeling session.

5. Schedule Time to Unwind After the Session

Let’s be honest: Connecting with loved ones who have passed or delving deeply into your own soul can be emotionally intense.

So be sure to set aside time afterwards to come back down to earth.

Ideally, avoid any other commitments for 1–2 hours after your session. This allows you to absorb the experience, jot down notes, reflect on the messages, or — my personal favourite tip — step outside into nature to ground yourself.

A channeling session is such a precious opportunity to feel inspired, surrounded by magic, and completely free. It would be a shame to rush straight back into everyday distractions and lose that vibe.
