And the truth is, I didn’t feel offended by that at all. I understood it.

I’ve had that same fear myself.

After my father was killed, I went through a period where I wanted nothing more than to feel connected to him again. I was searching for a way to know he was still there, to feel that relationship hadn’t just ended. But alongside that desire and searching came a very real fear. What if I was opening myself up to something I didn’t understand? What if I got it wrong? (and most of this fear came from mentors and leaders in the spiritual space telling me this is what was going to happen).

That’s why I always say that sometimes these are things you don’t fully understand because someone explains them to you. Sometimes you understand them because you live through them.

What I came to realize over time is that fear has a very specific impact on how we experience everything—especially when it comes to intuitive or spiritual work. When you’re rooted in fear, your entire perception shifts. You start scanning for what could go wrong instead of allowing yourself to feel what is actually happening. It doesn’t necessarily mean something bad is going to occur, but it does mean your awareness becomes filtered through anxiety instead of clarity.

On the other hand, when you begin to stand in your own sense of sovereignty, and when you decide that you are not available for fear in that way—something changes. You become more grounded, more present, and much more capable of recognizing what feels true versus what doesn’t.

Now, I’m not someone who believes that everything in the unseen world is automatically safe or pure. I do believe there can be negative or trickster energies. But where I differ from a fear-based perspective is in how much power I believe they actually have, especially when someone is connected to their own discernment.

Because here’s what people often overlook: a genuine connection with a loved one is not just about receiving information. It carries a very specific emotional frequency. There is a depth to it, a familiarity that goes beyond words. It’s the feeling of them, it's their essence, their personality, the unique way they loved you. It includes memories and moments that aren’t generic or surface-level, but deeply personal and meaningful. I don't believe a demonic or evil spirit could ever trick someone into feeling those things, or even have the ability to know such intimate and beautiful moments.

That kind of connection is not easy to replicate. It’s not flat, it’s not vague, and it doesn’t feel empty. If something were off, your body would respond to that. There would be a sense of dissonance, a lack of emotional truth, or even a subtle discomfort that something isn’t right. Your body will tell you this immediately (we have just never been taught how to listen to it).

And that brings me to something even more important—your body is already communicating with you all the time.

Most people have experienced being around someone in their everyday life who didn’t feel right. Maybe your stomach tightened, your chest felt heavy, or you just had an unexplainable sense of unease. Your body was signaling to you clearly, but instead of trusting that signal, you stayed. You continued the relationship, entered into a partnership, or convinced yourself it wasn’t a big deal.

Then later, when that person showed you a side of themselves that was harmful or toxic, you realized you had known all along.

So when we talk about the possibility of encountering harmful energy, we have to be honest about something: it’s not just something people worry about in the spiritual realm. It’s something we actively ignore in our physical, everyday lives. There are evil and demonic human beings that we let into our lives every day and do not blink an eye to.

In many cases, the most damaging energies we encounter come from other people—and we override our own intuition to let them in.

This is why developing mediumship isn’t just about connecting with spirit. It’s about strengthening your relationship with yourself. It requires you to listen more deeply, to trust what your body is telling you, and to stop dismissing your own internal signals.

Because your intuition is not separate from you. It’s not something outside of you that you have to chase or earn. It’s already there, constantly giving you information. The real work is learning to trust it.

After doing this work for over a decade, what I can say with certainty is that you are not powerless. You are not at the mercy of unseen forces, and you are not as easily deceived as fear might make you believe.

You have sovereignty. You have awareness. And you have the ability to discern what feels real and what doesn’t.

For me, that understanding didn’t come overnight. It came through experience, through questioning, through moments of doubt, and ultimately through learning to trust myself in a deeper way. So know that this takes time to understand and feel confident in within your own body.

So if you’ve ever had the thought, “What if I’m being tricked?” I want you to gently shift the question.

Instead of looking outward in fear, come back to yourself and ask, “What does this actually feel like in my body?” This will change EVERYTHING.

Because that answer will always be more honest, more grounded, and more reliable than anything fear tries to convince you of.

I don't want this post to be about selling, but I get dozens and dozens of emails with my blogs asking me how to do this. I created The Unblocked Psychic Method. It is going to teach you how to heal your nervous system and open the flow of your psychic ability to be able to actually listen to it, trust it, and be confident in it (all of what we talked about in this blog), plus it will teach you how to become a medium! It's powerful and calming all at the same time. You can find hundreds of reviews on my Instagram account in the reviews highlight.

Let me know your thoughts on this topic and your fears (or sovereignty) around mediumship, demons, or trickster spirits.
