What happens when you break the unwritten rules of spiritual connection? For mediums and intuitive readers, the question of whether to "pre-link" with spirits before a formal reading session has long been controversial.
Throughout my journey as a medium, I've discovered that many so-called metaphysical rules are actually human constructs—not universal spiritual laws. Pre-linking, the practice of connecting with spirits before your sitter arrives, is traditionally discouraged. Most teachers insist on the sanctity of the "mediumship triangle" where medium, spirit, and sitter must be simultaneously present for a successful connection.
Yet my experience tells a different story. When I first began developing as a medium, pre-linking became my secret confidence-builder. By connecting with spirits beforehand, I overcame my self-consciousness about how long it took me to establish clear communication. This practice allowed me to build trust in my abilities without performance anxiety blocking the connection. While traditionalists insist this approach is flawed, it helped me transition into becoming a confident medium who could eventually connect instantaneously.
The revelation that truly transformed my understanding is recognizing that the mediumship triangle doesn't actually exist. What influences your connection isn't the sitter's presence, but your own energetic response to their feedback. A validating client doesn't magically amplify spirit energy—they increase your confidence, which raises your vibration. Similarly, a skeptical sitter doesn't block spirit—they trigger your self-doubt, which lowers your frequency.
Whether you're developing your mediumship abilities or seeking to strengthen your personal connection with guides and loved ones, remember that your confidence and vibration matter more than following rigid rules. The greatest challenge most spiritual practitioners face isn't technique—it's trusting their connection without seeking external validation. Experiment with pre-linking if it serves your development, particularly when connecting with pets or non-human spirits where traditional approaches may feel limiting.
