Mediumship is translating a message that the client can't (or refuses to) see for their self. That's normal I think, because being so close to an issue can leave you blind to the truth. I'm all for readers giving clients an explanation of their reading style. I would like to add this in my profile here, but I don't know if there is a limit to the number of words in the bio. I'll check.
Channeling energy isn't restricted to speaking/drawing information coming from the deceased, or even from humans. Energy is in all things, everywhere. Deceased people (the most accepted), deceased animals, living people, living animals, living plants/rocks/minerals, angels, the weather, ET's, deities. A persons background and belief system allow them to be in tune with certain energies. Not every medium sees/hears/feels energies from all sources. If they say they do, avoid them, because they are not being honest with their self.
Some mediums are not prophetic either. They simply don't receive prophetic knowledge (that is, accurate information spontaneously appearing in the mind without being cued from a physical channel). They need the help of cards, stones, rods, crystals, or other energy-charged objects in order to activate the message. I don't see any downfall in psychics who use these media, they are learning tools to develop the mind, and I used them myself for years before reaching a strength plateau and putting them down in 2002. Since then, I just see/hear things in my mind that answer peoples questions, and sometimes I simply know things ahead of time without being told.
Honesty about your limitations is vital to giving clear and accurate messages to others. I work at a psychic website and nothing turns me off more than reading a profile of one of them that says "100% accuracy, 30 years experience" because no one is completely accurate, and definitely not for half a lifetime. Energies will change, ebb and flow, and you will be in tune with new energies over time (and not be in tune with others that you were before).
Typically a good psychic is no more accurate than a doctor at finding a diagnosis on the first try. About 90-95% (giving some disappointing doctors the benefit of the doubt there). My accuracy runs about 93%, based on feedback.
