Are mediums born that way, or can anyone develop the ability?

The short answer? Both.
Let’s go deeper.
Yes, Some Mediums Are Born That Way
There are definitely people who come into this life with a strong, natural connection to the spirit world from an early age. These are the ones who:
-
Saw spirits as children or had imaginary friends who weren’t so imaginary
-
Felt deeply sensitive to energy, emotions, and atmospheres
-
Knew things they couldn’t explain, or “just had a feeling” that turned out to be right
-
Felt drawn to the mystical, spiritual, or unseen realms since childhood
These individuals often remember more from the soul level and carry over mediumistic abilities from past lives. Mediumship comes naturally to them—but even the most gifted mediums still need to develop discipline, ethics, and technique. Natural ability is just the seed; it still needs to be watered and nurtured.
But Yes, It Can Be Developed Too
Here’s the beautiful part: everyone is intuitive, and many people can learn to connect with Spirit if they’re open, dedicated, and practice consistently. Mediumship is like a muscle—it gets stronger the more you use it.
I’ve seen people awaken their mediumship after:
-
A spiritual awakening or near-death experience
-
Losing a loved one (grief can crack the heart open in powerful ways)
-
Studying psychic development or healing modalities
-
Entering a new chapter in life that called their soul to evolve
It’s like tuning into a frequency. Some people come in already dialed to the channel. Others need to find the right antenna, clear the static, and learn to listen.
So What’s the Difference?
| Born Mediums | Developed Mediums |
|---|---|
| Natural sensitivity from a young age | Grows with training and practice |
| Often overwhelmed as children | Often awakened later in life |
| May struggle with boundaries at first | Usually have clearer structure from the start |
| Need to refine and control their gift | Need to trust and open to their gift |
| May feel “called” rather than “curious” | Often led by personal growth or healing |
But in the end? The result is the same: service, healing, and spirit connection. One is not better than the other.
The Key Ingredient Is This: Willingness
Regardless of whether you were born with the gift or discovered it later, the true power of mediumship comes from:
-
A heart that wants to serve
-
A soul that’s willing to listen
-
A mind that stays open and humble
You don’t have to be “chosen.” You just have to choose.
Final Thoughts
Mediumship is a sacred dance between you and Spirit. Some people enter the world already dancing; others hear the music later in life and slowly learn the steps. Both are valid. Both are beautiful. Both can be powerful.
So whether you were born with the veil already thin or you’re just starting to peek behind it—you are on the path. And Spirit will always meet you where you are.
