There’s a common misconception among many spiritual workers: that mediumship must be painful, burdensome, or emotionally draining. But is this truly aligned with the teachings of the Higher Spirits?

The truth is, lighthearted mediumship is not only possible—it’s highly desirable. When properly understood and practiced, mediumship should be a source of peace, joy, and inner growth—not a heavy burden that leads to stress or spiritual exhaustion.

If you’re a medium feeling overwhelmed or anxious about your practice, it may be time to take a gentler look at yourself and reflect on how you’re relating to this spiritual faculty.

Lighthearted Mediumship Begins Within

Mediumship, in and of itself, should not be a source of suffering. Like any divine gift, it is meant for good—for the medium and for those who benefit from it.

If a medium feels constantly stressed, drained, or emotionally unwell due to their mediumship, the issue lies not in the gift, but in how it’s being handled. The root may be a lack of discipline, emotional imbalance, energetic misalignment, or even self-imposed pressure and guilt.

In The Mediums’ Book, Allan Kardec explains that a good medium is someone who studies, works humbly, and stays in balance. Mediumship should not be an unbearable cross, but a path of light—even with its natural challenges.

We must remember that spiritual work is never forced upon anyone. No one is required to be a medium against their will. As the Spirits wisely remind us, our only true obligation is to be good—regardless of any special abilities we might possess.

Mediumship Is a Tool, Not a Sentence

Some mediums, feeling unworthy or unprepared, live in a constant state of inner conflict—as if they owe something to the spirit world or are bound by an unbreakable contract. But that contradicts the divine freedom God grants all His children.

Mediumship should be a conscious, voluntary service that aligns with one’s personal capacity. When it becomes a source of emotional torment, it’s a sign something needs to be reassessed: the method, the environment, personal expectations, or even the specific spiritual task involved.

If, at a certain point in life, mediumship no longer brings peace or supports personal growth, the medium can—responsibly—reconsider their participation and even find other ways to serve: through study, charity, spiritual education, or compassionate listening.

Conclusion: Peaceful Mediumship Is Mediumship with Love

For mediumship to be fruitful and long-lasting, it must be rooted in feelings of peace, love, and trust. When the medium feels welcomed, understood, and in harmony with themselves, their spiritual work becomes light, joyful, and productive.

Jesus never called us to sterile suffering, but to the peaceful construction of good. Mediumship is a blessing—but it should never become a prison. Remember: God doesn’t impose burdens, He offers paths. And every path can be adjusted to our spiritual maturity.

If you’re a medium feeling overwhelmed, listen to your soul. Pray, seek guidance from spiritual friends, and remember: your inner peace also matters to the work of the Spirits of Light.
